Hey friends!
I took a few of the pinwheel supplies that came with the June My Paper Pumpkin kit and made a patriotic banner.
I added a couple pieces of cardstock which I stenciled and some ribbon and look what I ended up with......I'm going to hang it next to my cubicle this week then display it as a decoration at our cookout on the 4th of July, it's going to get a work out!
Stamping is fun!

My convention swap & Shelli's creative challenge--a little summer fun!
Hey friends!
I fell in love with the idea of putting a pinwheel on a card and couldn't wait to give it a whirl so to speak! And to make it even more fun, I had a chance to use some of the new products in the new Stampin Up annual catalog.
I used several new SU products on this card---the designer series paper used for the pinwheel along with the birthday greeting and coordinating framelit die are all from the new SU annual catalog.
Speaking of fun, I had a blast at the SU convention--check out some of my recent posts to see how much fun! I'm already making plans to attend next year, the 25th anniversary of SU; I'm sure it will be an amazing celebration!! Join my SU team now and start planning to attend with me!

Ingredients
- Whisper White cardstock (CS) 8.5 x 11", folded in half; scrap piece for banner
- Daffodil Delight cs 4 x 5.25"
- Polka Dot Parade Designer Series paper (DSP) 3.25" x 3.25"
- 3/8" red glimmer brad
- 1/4" real red stitched grosgrain ribbon
- glue dots
- dimensionals
- wooden skewer, cut to 3" (I got mine at the dollar store)
- perfect polka dots embossing folder
- Bitty Banner framelit die
- Itty Bitty Banners stamp set
- Real Red ink
- paper piercing tool
Recipe:
- Emboss the Real Red cs using the polka dot folder; adhere to the Daffodil Delight cs.
- Adhere the 3" wooden skewer piece using glue dots to the card front. Slide a small piece of the red ribbon under the skewer and tie it.
- Lightly draw a pencil line on the backside of the DSP corner making an X. Cut each line toward the center, stopping about 3/4" from the center. Erase lines.
- With the DSP right side face up bring a corner of one cut section to the center and glue down; it doesn't matter whether it is the right or left corner piece just be consistent with the other pieces. Bring the next corner to the center and adhere; repeat until 4 corners are attached to the center.
- Pierce a hole in the center where the corners meet; insert a glimmer brad.
- Adhere the pinwheel to card front with a dimensional, covering the top part of the wooden skewer.
- Stamp the happy birthday greeting in Real red ink on the scrap piece of white cs; cut it out with the coordinating framelit die. Adhere over the wooden skewer using glue dots.
Stamping is fun!

Stamping opportunities THIS week -- Join the fun! JUGS #142
Hi stamping friends!
UPDATED: The pinwheel card below was inspired by a card I saw on jkcards blog. My version matches the weekly theme of the Just Us Girls (JUGS #142) challenge, summertime. It's like I knew what I was doing when I created this card! I used Stampin Up's Polka Dot Parade designer series paper (DSP) and perfect polka dots embossing folder. I cut a 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of DSP then drew a pencil line corner to corner and cut each line toward the center, stopping about 1/2" from the center; folded each corner to the center and secured them with a 3/8" red glimmer brad. I stamped the greeting with Stampin Up's Itty Bitty Banners stamp set in Real Red ink and used the coordinating Bitty Banner framelit die to cut it out on the big shot. A piece of 1/4" stitched grosgrain ribbon on a piece of wooden skewer and there you have it, Ta-Daa!
