Day 18 - P

Beccy's inspiration is a delightful presents card HERE  

My "P" is a Pretty Pinwheel Card,

yes, another Pretty Pinwheel Card.

No, you're not seeing things, I shared my first ever

Pretty Pastel Pinwheel card HERE

and my new and improved version HERE

   

After making my first pinwheel card, my husband has suggested that I add different panels to make it more interesting as you flip the folds.  I took his advice, made a second pinwheel card and he was right.  Although I adore the patterned paper I used, the card needed variety to invite you to keep on flipping.  The Jingle Bell digital stamp set that I used for my initial design has several coordinating images and sentiments, so I could mix 'n match a variety of panels.  I also combined some sentiments from other digital stamp sets from Beccy’s Place.  Full details listed in ingredients below.

You can see the first and second versions of my Pretty Pastel Pinwheel cards

HERE. and HERE.

The Jingle Bell digital stamp set from Beccy’s Place is one of my favourites and I love how it looks with both pastel blue and forest green, so I could not resist making a forest green pinwheel card.  If I could find a grey shade that matched the patterned paper, I would probably make a grey version too!

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.  I decorated the panels with several elements from the Jingle Bell digital stamp set , the Silver Bells digital stamp set and the Golden Bell digital stamp set, all from Beccy’s Place, full details listed in ingredients below.  I printed, cut then assembled the layers and fancy folds.

The card has so many fancy folds, and now that I have added such a variety of elements to each panel, it's fun to look at in every direction.

Let's "flip" through the pinwheel panels,

The pinwheel folds flat for mailing,

with the flat card being standard A2 size, 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

Here's a little comparison between the new green and pastel blue V2.

What colour is your favourite, the blue or the green?
