Baby Pinwheels

Well, I was in a mood to create something cutesy! I am running low on baby cards in my Card Box, so it was time to come up with a few. 

I used the new Pinwheel Sizzlet to cut these out really quickly. The colors are Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron and Old Olive. 

I find it easiest when using the Pinwheel Sizzlet to NOT use the little holes that are there. I just use Snail Adhesive to glue every second corner into the centre, overlapping them as I go. Then, make a hole using the Paper Piercer and Foam Pad, and put a brad through the centre.

Here are the other Stampin' Up products used:

Tea Lace Paper Doilies

Broadsheet Alphabet Stamp Set (retiring)

Versamark ink

Dazzling Diamonds Glitter

Heat and Stick Powder

Mini Silver Brads

Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack

2 1/2" circle punch

3" circle die

Hope you like my Baby card today!

Happy Stamping!

Scallop Envelope Die - as a box!

I wanted to share with you a great idea for using the Scallop Envelope Sizzix Die that has recently come out from Stampin' Up. This cute little box was made using Pink Pirouette cardstock, and cutting out 4 Scallop Envelopes from it. (I cut two at a time, and used the Premium Crease Pad to get nice score lines that weren't cut through.)

 

Just by attaching the "wings" of the envelopes together with Sticky Strip (p190), you get the sides of the box assembled. Then, you just alternate the bottom pieces to close it (fold as you would close a cardboard box). I found that you need to place a cardstock liner in the bottom to keep it from shifting, and then you don't need any adhesive on the bottom. I added 2 layered strips of Bella Rose paper, along with a stamped image from Punches Three (hostess level one set). This was punched out with the Wide Oval punch.

We did this as the Big Shot Club make & take project for October, and it was fun! But, I originally saw this idea on someone else's blog, so I can't take the credit for it. (Trouble is, I don't know who to give credit to. If you know, please forward me the info, so I can update my post!)

my line of the day: If it stands still long enough, Stamp it!
