Day 18 - P is for Pretty Pastel Pinwheel Card

It's time for the 12th Annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge at Beccy's Place.
You can read the rules HERE or head over to Beccy's Challenges and enter HERE.

Beccy's inspiration is a delightful presents card HERE  

My "P" is a Pretty Pastel Pinwheel Card


My fancy fold card was inspired by THIS card by Leslie Turner on her Love To Scrap 2 blog.  Her card was inspired by THIS tutorial and video HERE by Debbie Henderson on the Splitcoast Stampers site.  I designed the card base and panels in Silhouette Studio using the dimensions from the tutorial.
It's nice to be learning more about SVGs and how to use Silhouette Studio.
I decorated the panels with several elements from the Jingle Bell digital stamp set from Beccy’s Place, including the Paper White digital Paper, the Bell Lower Corner pre-coloured digital stamp, the Single Bell pre-coloured digital stamp and the Merry Little Christmas digital sentiment.  I printed, cut then assembled the layers and fancy folds.


The card has so many fancy folds, it's fun to look at in every direction.




The pinwheel folds flat for mailing,
with the flat card being standard A2 size, 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".


... I will need to make modifications to the pretty pastel pinwheel,
my husband has suggested that I add more different panels to make
it more interesting as you flip the folds and I think he's right.

  1. Your pinwheel card is beautiful Tracy, I agree that it looks awesome from lots of different angles. You could leave it on display and fill that centre section with lollies or chocolates! I like your hubby's idea of changing up the different panels too... I'm sure we'll see something creative from you soon!
    Cheers,
