Express your gratitude with not just a handmade card, but a Pinwheel Fun Fold card. They’re quite trendy, yet super easy to create — anyone can give it a whirl. And like any handmade card, it will move the recipient beyond words.
As the recipient turns the card, they catch the parts of the story of the sentiment. Plus, the design rests easily on a desktop, table or mantle to create a thoughtful display.
Measurements and creative design can be modified to suit any size, theme or occasion. Here it’s shown with Stampin’ Up!’s Plentiful Plants, a mix of tropical foliage and hardy succulents. The stamp set includes a variety of pots, a macramé hanger and plant stand. The sentiments are set in classic script and serif fonts.
Creating a Pinwheel Fun Fold card requires no special dies or tools. A Paper Trimmer/Scorer or Scoring Tool is all that’s needed to create the card’s base.
The finished size of the demonstrated card is 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″, the standard size for handmade cards. It will fit nicely in an A4 envelope provided you follow the suggestion and NOT use thick card stock as the base.
Folded flat, the card will have multiple layers. I also suggest limiting the use of Stampin’ Dimensionals to limit the card thickness.
