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

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,...

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used.

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...
