Fancy New Card Fold – A Pinwheel Box Card made with Dies

Hi and welcome to AddINKtive Designs. I’ve got something rather unique to share with you. I’ve designed a Pinwheel Box Card (a pinwheel and box card combined). Another interesting feature is that the ‘wings’ are die-cut from the rounded, rectangular dies from Nested Essentials (SU).

I’ve made Pinwheel Cards with dies before and there are a few more ideas in the pipe line for future card designs but I’m rather taken with the ‘cuteness’ factor of this one … so many possibilities. In fact, if you come back in a week’s time you’ll see another, rather different version of this fold!

I chose to feature the gorgeous Painted Lavender Bundle (stamps and dies) and Perennial Lavender DSP on this Pinwheel Box Card; the sentiment and splatter stamps are from Quiet Meadow (all from SU) – You can shop Stampin’ Up! ® Products in Australia with Lou Kitzelman – https://www.stampinup.com.au/

As the foliage extends a little way from the top of the card, a 5-1/2″ square envelope is required for this particular design.

I’ve written a tutorial for this unique, Pinwheel Box Card which can be purchased from my TUTORIAL SHOP. It includes measurements for the ‘wings’ if you don’t have the Nested Essentials Dies in your paper craft stash … therefore allowing you to be able to use any small stamps, die-cuts and patterned papers with this particular card fold.

‘Perennial Lavender’ Pinwheel Box Card Tutorial

While I was brushing on some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter to the foliage, it reminded me of the Scented Lavender Easel Cards I made a few years ago. I thought it would be a nice idea to include my tutorial for the Dear Doily Lavender Scented Easel Cards with the Perennial Lavender Pinwheel Box Card so you can learn how to add some scent to the ‘Painted Lavender’ as well!

Happy Paper Crafting!
