Pinwheel Tower Card using Tea Boutique for Australian C6 envelope.

Those of you who follow me know I love a fancy fold card. 
This is the Pinwheel Tower Card which has been popular on the social sites recently, but this version is cut to Australian measurements to fit in a regular C6 Envelope.

The central tower is DSP which seems to allow more flexibility and easier folding than when created from Cardstock.

DSP                1 piece       10.5 x 10.5 cm         scored at 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 cm and adhered along the tiny flap to form the square central tower.

Cardstock        4 pieces     10.5 x 7 cm             to form the 4 blades of the pinwheel

DSP / cardstock for decorating the panels         4 pieces  6.5 x 10 cm 
                                                                           4 pieces  4.2 x 10 cm

or as desired! Remember not to add too many embellishments so that your card will fold flat(ish) for posting. Where you are going to pop embellishments up on dimensionals arrange them on opposite panels rather than adjacent ones ( ie if you were to number the panels , then decorate 2 and 4 rather than 2 and 3 so it sits flatter). 
Hope that makes sense!







 The Cup of Tea bundle is delightful to use and I do have more projects to share after a recent class. 

You'll find more Fancy Fold designs and measurements from the tab at the top of the page



I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

CTC#86 Everyday is a good day to send a card

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects.

We invite you to tour around the hop and to join in -after all the Catalogue has so many beautiful samples to inspire us all. If you get lost you'll find the full crew here . You may have arrived from Simone , so welcome. And this week we are really excited to welcome 3 new designers to the team, Krissy, Deb and Kelly  please do leave them a comment and welcome. This week we are using the samples from the Everyday Occasions section (which is a huge section) from pages 66-91. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
