TGIF – Pretty Pinwheels with Kay

TGIF! And it’s a good one too…Holiday weekend, woohoo! Whether you’re going out or staying in, I hope you have a wonderful weekend. If you’re sneaking in some crafting time, Kay is here with some weekend inspiration. Looking for a fun way to use those Pinwheels you just ordered? Just wait until you see the gorgeous project Kay has for you today!

Hi there!  Kay here, and I have a card to share with you today using  the new Pinwheel Party stencils and Pinwheel Party dies, along with some pretty florals from Print Shop Fresh Florals and Top Down Day stamp sets.

I’ve had a lot of fun playing with the Pinwheel Party stencils and dies. Although this is a birthday card, they are by no means limited to only birthday themed projects. I think they make lovely backgrounds just lightly stenciled onto your cardstock. I love to have a soft background for floral cards or collage type cards.

So for this card, I used the Pinwheel stencils and very lightly stenciled several different pinwheels in different colors and sizes onto the background. I speckled with a tiny bit of the same color inks. I then stenciled some more pinwheels and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I layered these onto the card with foam tape.  I stamped and cut out some of the pretty little bunches of flowers from the Top Down Day stamp set and tucked those behind the pinwheels. I also added some of the flowers and greenery from the Print Shop Fresh Florals stamp set.

To finish it up, I stamped the Happy from the Birthday Blooms stamp set, cut it out with the coordinating die and added it to my card with foam tape. The small birthday is also from the Birthday Blooms stamp set. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder and added it below the happy with foam tape as well. 

I hope you have enjoyed my project today and I hope it will inspire you to play around with the  Pinwheel Party stencils in fun and unique ways!
Hugs,
Kay 🙂

Before I go, a bit of a shipping update! We are working our way through the orders from the Fast Favorites sale, but we are asking for a bit of patience as we work through them. We had a larger than usual volume of orders, so it’s going to take us a bit longer to get through them! We’ll be working diligently though, and hope to be nearly finished by Monday or Tuesday.

Have a great weekend!
