Another Funky Fold blog hop for you!!

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight I'm hopping with an awesome bunch of talented crafters who love dabbling with folds!!  

My fold this month is a pinwheel tower card!! So much fun.

This fun fold is very versatile and really quite easy to do!

My card fits into a standard size envelope when it's folded down.

The fun part of a pinwheel tower card is that you have 4 different 'faces' of the card for embellishment or writing to your recipient.  

Can  you see the sheen of some shimmery embossing paste?  I swished a very fine layer of the paste over the edges of the card.  Because I had already using a blending brush and some of the Shaded Spruce ink, the embossing paste picked up the colour and became a gorgeous green!  

And to show you the amazing veratility of this fun fold, I created another card for you too!

Theres is less stamping on this one - it relies more on the designer paper and lots of die cuts .

This panel is for the writing for the recipient.

Each of the other panels has different images from the Country Flowers stamp set.

I've also added a couple of images from the Country Birdhouse set.

And I love the way the paper lined up beautifully all around the card!  The stripes made it really easy to do this!

Each of the panels is 10.5 cm x 10.5cm and then scored at 3cm on one side of each.  Here's a video showing how to create this card I made a long time ago!!  

If you'd like the tutorial for this card, please let me know!!  

Make sure you keep hopping all the way around to see lots of great ideas!
