Hello Friend

10/15/23 Rising Star at A Place To Start!

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope your week has started off nicely! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #75! I created a pinwheel twist card using my Scan N Cut, a cut file and some really pretty patterned paper from Hot Off The Press. I’ve made several 4-sided pinwheel twist cards using a cut file but have also learned to make them by hand-cutting the card base and panels (even a 6-sided one), and either way, they are fun and easy to make!

Using my Scan N Cut and the Haunted House Pinwheel Twist Card cut file (just the base pieces) from My Scrap Chick, I cut the card base and panels from CutCardStock Curious Metallic Violette cardstock and coordinating patterned papers from Hot Off The Press Lilacs In Bloom 6×6 papers. I assembled the card, adding ephemera from the paper pack to three sides and an 80# Solar White panel to the fourth side for a handwritten message and/or signature.

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We have 10 feline rescues. I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty lovins! ;)
