Whoo hoo – it’s a Faux Pinwheel Card!!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"\u00a0Why the ‘Faux’?<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, the true pinwheel cards are made with triangles and one edge folds in to the middle for a fancy fold.\u00a0 Our’s lies flat.<\/p>\n

I made one just to make sure the dimensions worked:<\/p>\n

\"\". \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used the Dandy Garden DSP (retiring in 7 days-just saying).\u00a0 The greeting and the inside vine are from Very Versailles and I embossed the front with the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder.\u00a0 I used a 3\/4″ circle punch for a scrap embossed piece.\u00a0 Can you guess where the stitched shape for the greeting comes from?\u00a0 No? Well, it is one of the shapes that you die cut with the Messages die.\u00a0 I cut several for use with other greetings like this one!\u00a0 I had truly overlooked this greeting in the Very Versailles set.\u00a0 \u00a0I love scrolly images and this one is so nice!<\/p>\n

Here is the second faux pinwheel card that I made during the Zoom as I instructed others how to construct the card:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used the True Love DSP which is also retiring with the JJ Mini Catalog.\u00a0 The greeting is from Many Messages which was introduced in the JJ Mini Catalog and carries over to the new Annual Catalog – but wait — it has a second set of greetings in the new catalog:<\/p>\n

\"\". \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Think how nice it would be to have all those shapes cut out blank or stamped to use!<\/p>\n

\n

Check out Ann’s bright and pretty faux pinwheel using DSP from Sale A Bration and the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.\u00a0 The greeting is another in the Many Messages stamp set.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Sharon’s Pinwheel is unique with amazing trinkets and an embossing folder with anchors!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Jo’s pinwheel card uses the birds from a previous DSP and pool party for a soft subtle look!\u00a0 Her greeting is one I know I will use often; it comes from the Welcoming Window stamp set.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Joy’s card uses black and white DSP from the hostess Pattern Party DSP with a pop of yellow to brighten it up!\u00a0 She embossed the yellow with the Ornate Floral embossing folder<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Such fun cards!\u00a0 Thank you Ann, Sharon, Jo and Joy for participating.\u00a0 Send me a picture if you make one yourself and I can add it to this collection of Faux Pinwheel Cards.<\/p>\n

June 2021 Swaps<\/h3>\n

I made my June swap using the Curvy Dies and the Quite Curvy Stamp Set.\u00a0 If I were in charge this set would carry over for years like the Lovely As A Tree set that was in for many years.\u00a0 But it isn’t; it retires June 30 with the JJ Mini.\u00a0 The dies are on sale for 50% off and you would get free shipping tomorrow- ju..<\/p>\n

\"\" I know, “just saying”!\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

So sorry, I do repeat myself!\u00a0 This card is a case of one that Jenny Moore of Stamping Moments made except I changed the flowers and the DSP.\u00a0 The DSP is from the hostess Pattern Party paper in Misty Moonlight layered on a Just Jade base with a bridge fold design.\u00a0 The yellow flowers and inside greeting are from Hand Drawn Blooms and the daisy is the medium daisy punch.<\/p>\n
