Scrappy Moms Stamps has a brand new die to add to your collection... a PINWHEEL DIE! There's also a new stamp set SPRING FLING!
I have to admit, I have never made a pinwheel so I was a little lost. It only took a moment to figure out and then I realized I'M HOOKED on these pins. I really went simple with these cards, yep, 2 in 20 minutes. I wanted to just show off the pinwheels on their own.
From the new Spring Fling set I used "You Blow me Away" coloured with marker. I made a mini pennant using the corner of my square punch.
For the stick(?) I cut up a hot pink straw.
Card number 2 (both of these are A2 size) and this time I went for a sweet St. Patrick's Day theme. I did some faux stitching because I don't sew. I don't do this a whole lot soooo...it's a wee be ummmmm messy:D
I popped a little sparkly clover in the center. I used brads to hold the pinwheel together. But the die does have a circle for the the center. Cool....
For this Spring Fling sentiment I coloured "Whirl Away the Day". It was a bright day here so since the pennet is "flowing" it was bright on one side.
Here you see I have both cards together and they have been sent to their new homes. My 2 crafty girlfriends have been sharing a lot of their goodies with me of late. I returned their dies and embossing folders with these Thank You cards. Always a good idea to suck up when you can!
Oh lookie at this Pinwheel Die!

SUPER CUTE! I love how they turned out and the kraft paper was the perfect background - no distractions from the pinwheels! I had to go and buy the stamp set - too darn cute! I love all the things you make! You rock! Hugs, Joy
ReplyDeleteVery cute pinwheel. Just curious, how big does it measure when it is folded into a pinwheel? Thanks.
