CI#124 PInwheel tower notecard. "Brew yourself a cup of tea"

 I long ago purchased a small gift to go inside a card- it reads

"Side by side or miles apart
we'll always be close at heart.
Brew yourself a cup of tea,
I'll think of you - you think of me"

I have used this thought to create a little card which contains a teabag to send to a friend. This is a small version of the pinwheel style cards and it will fit in a notecard size envelope- so the flat card is 3 x 5".

 

What a bright and sunny colour combination we have this week.

I have a mini Pinwheel Tower card to share using this week's colours- although I did switch out Navy for Starry Sky since it coordinated with the Tea Boutique DSP better, but I think it still works well.

Since I used a few of the DSP patterns there are a few splashes of Berry Sorbet in the card but I hope you will forgive this little bending of the colour rules!

There's a little spot for a note-

And a pocket for a teabag-

The central tower is DSP rather than cardstock so it folds flatter more easily.

MEASUREMENTS:

Pinwheel central tower         DSP 3 1/2" x 4 1/2"        score at 1",2",3',4", 

cardstock panels                    c/s 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"             

DSP to decorate                    2 3/8" x 3 3/8"                as desired.

                                              1 3/8" x 3 3/8"

• burnish all fold lines well and fold into a square tower and adhere the  1/4" flap to the back of one the 4 sides to create a tube.
• adhere one panel to each side of the central square tower
• decorate each panel as desired. 
• for the pocket adhere only across the base and up one side  
• to ensure card folds flat be mindful to not add too many embellishments or popped up layers.

I have a full sized version to fit a C6 Australian envelope also in the teacup suite here.
