Today I have a fun video and project for you showing how to make a pinwheel card. These cards are super fun (and easy) to make when you follow the simple instructions and tips I have for you in the video.
Pinwheel cards are perfect to make to use up all those scraps of cardstock or Designer Series paper that you have lying around. All you need are some 1 1/4″ inch squares, so save your scraps the next time you are creating and you can make a pinwheel card with them!
The Pinwheel card pictured above is created with the Let’s go Fishing Designer Series Paper (DSP) from Stampin’ Up! but you can make this card with any DSP or cardstock. The key is that you need two prints, or colors, that really contrast each other.
Pinwheel Card Video Tutorial
Don’t be intimidated by this card design, I promise this is an easy card when you follow my simple steps!
The products used in this video were available for purchase at the time of filming (the list is below.) If something does not show in the list, it is either retired or no longer available.
Measurements & Supplies
Dig into your stash of Designer Series Paper scraps and start making pinwheels! WARNING – they are a bit addictive!! Once you have made the pinwheel, you can use it on your card in any way that you’d like. I kept mine simple because I am all about simple and easy cards! You could absolutely “step up” this card by adding more layers and stamps.
Measurements:
- Pebbled Patch card base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
- DSP layer: 4″ x 5 1/4″
- Pinwheel base: (2) 2 5/8″ x 2 5/8″
- Pinwheel pieces: (8) 1 1/4″ x 1 1/4″ (4 of each print)
And as mentioned in the video… here’s another pinwheel card design using the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper. I turned this one into a thank you card. But you can easily see how you can make this fun card design, pair it with any greeting, and create a card for any occasion.
