Happy TGIF! Angelica is here with some projects that will definitely brighten your weekend! I also have a stock update after her fun projects, so be sure to check that out.
Hi friends. I’m excited to be sharing two cards, using the new Pinwheel Party collection. I am a bit obsessed with the Pinwheel Party Stencils, and couldn’t resist working with them again.
I started off by making the pinwheels. I die-cut several colors of card stock with the three pinwheel dies in the Pinwheel Party Die Collection. The die cuts line up perfectly with the single pinwheel stencils. I found it easiest to put the die cut pinwheel back into it’s negative, and tape the matching stencil over it. I blended coordinating Distress Oxide inks with finger daubers over the stencil.

When it came to decorating, I kept the layouts similar. I stamped the star cluster from Pinwheel Party Stamp Set in a rainbow circle, and added a single stamped star in random spots. I trimmed the panels with the Crimped Frame Die.
The Let’s Party! die is from Pinwheel Party Die Collection. I die-cut the words twice, glued them together, and attached them to the coordinating shadow. I attached it to the card with thin foam squares.
The second card got a heat-embossed sentiment. I picked a sentiment from Pinwheel Party to white heat-emboss onto black card stock. I used a Sentiment Suite Basics die to die-cut the sentiment.

I added matching die-cut circles to the middle of each pinwheel. I used the small pinwheel circle die in the die collection to die-cut colored card stock. Once I attached the pinwheels to their cards, I finished them off with faux pearls.
Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope I have helped with Pinwheel Party inspiration!
I’m loving Angelica’s rainbow-bright cards, and they’re making me want to pull out my Pinwheel set again. They are so much fun to make!
Before I go, I just wanted to give a bit of an update. First of all, thank you SO MUCH for your overwhelming response to our anniversary sale and celebration! Wow, you blew us away. All release orders have shipped – the last of them went out yesterday. Many of you have already received your orders and I love seeing your posts on Instagram! We know that several of our new items, and a few elusive older items, went really quickly on Friday. We’ve had a lot of time while packing orders to brainstorm ways to make it up to you. We have an idea, so stay tuned a bit later this month! We expect to have all out of stock items back by the end of the month.
Once again, thank you! Have a great weekend. 😊

Loving the colors on your cards Angelica, so bright & colorful.Thx for the tip when coloring! I’ve been working on so many color combinations that I had to start writing the ink names on the back of the pinwheels. Betsy, that’s just awesome that your Anniversary was a big success. It’s so easy to fall in love with your designs and I still feel the same excitement for your new releases as I did for the 1st one. I’m all for brainstorming because your surprises are always fabulous! 😊👏
