Hello, Kraftie Friends!

A "wintery" project? Since it's still cold here (or at least I think so)...here's a Pinwheel Tower Card in a Slimline card size!

I started with white cardstock for the card base and decorated with double-sided pp...

You can use double-sided paper for the Card Base (and Panels), then you wouldn't need to trim extra panels to decorate the card.

The girl stamp image is from a CTMH Holiday stamp set (Under the Mistletoe with coordinating Thin Cuts available)...but a lot of the images can be used for general winter projects...

Winter Hello sentiment is from If Snowflakes Were Kisses stamp set.

Penguin, single gift box and Happy Birthday sentiment are from retired CTMH stamp sets.

Stamped images were colored with alcohol-based markers.

Here's how it looks like standing up:

Here are the other sides...one panel can be used for your personal message, or you can decorate it, also:

You'll need:

Card Base - 4" 5/8 x 8.5" (score at 1.75", 2.5", 3.25" and 4")

3 - 1.75" x 8.5"

4 - 1.5" x 8.25" Decorative Panels

4 - 0.75" x 8.25" Decorative Panels

Birdie Card for Sketch Challenge + Process Video for Hello #Baby 12" x 12" Scrapbook Page

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I have a simple card for a team and sketch challenge...

I used CTMH D1920 You Make Me Happy stamp set. Initially, I was going to color the bird image, but my markers were too dark, so I decided to leave it as is...the kid that receives this card could color it for fun!

If you purchase the stamp set, CTMH will donate $7 to Operation Smile, a non-profit organization that provides surgeries to repair cleft lips and palates in children around the world.

Challenges:

1. Atlantic Hearts Sketch #376

2. WordArtWed #446-#447: AGoes
