3D Pinwheel Card


Hi all!  I had so much fun creating this 3D Pinwheel Card!    I was browsing on Pinterest and came across a quilt pattern for this 3D pinwheel and knew I had to make it into a card!!!!  (By the way, if you want  to make this into a quilt, you can use the resize the squares an sew them together!)


Here's my card:




Supples needed:  
Paper:  Two pieces of Designers Series paper cut to 4"x4" and one piece of Designer Series paper cut 1 1/2" x 4"
Cardstock:  One layer cut to 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" and one Card Base (5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
Embellishments and ribbon

Start with the two 4" x 4" pieces of Designer Series Paper.  (You may use cardstock for the base layer if you wish but the pinwheels should be made from Designer Series Paper so they will fold easily)

Cut both pieces into 2"x2" squares.  Fold the squares you wish to use for the pinwheel into a triangle.  Glue or tape each triangle shut.  You'll end up with four triangles looking like this:




Place a triangle on each of your four base pieces by placing glue on the bottom half of the triangle and then folding the point down to the bottom as shown below:




Next, layer these four squares and the 1 1/2" x 4" piece of Designer Series Paper onto the 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" layer of cardstock using the placement shown below.




Mount and embellish as desired!  

 Here's a sample I made using cardstock that I ran through an embossing folder as the base squares:



You can also see the Facebook Live where I demonstrated this HERE  (Look for the recording posted on May 10th :)
