Welcome to this month’s InKing Royalty Blog Hop! This month’s hop is dedicated to showing our thankfulness. We are celebrating with thank you notes, cards that show our appreciation and projects of thanksgiving. We are excited to share our projects with you and hope they inspire you to create! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I have a amazing friend, Tracy. She is a super talented artist. Who truly defins the word artist, because she not only paints, she has made pottery, and has a very fablous jewlery business. Where she makes her own jewlery. If you fallow me on instagram or my personal facebook page. Then you know I am always going to paint class. Tracy is the mastermind behind the classes. Last month for my Birthday she gave me one of her peices of jewlery. A wonderful Crown with a bar that has “be awesome” hand stamped on it. How cool is that! We all know someone who goes above and beyond to make us feel special. Tracy is one of those people who always encurages and lights up a room. I am truly Thankful, Greatful, and Blessed to have her in my life.
This card may look familiar to you. It is becuase, I made a simular card for a past blog hop. I promissed two ladies that I would share how the card was made with a video. What’s that???? A video!!!! Say What??? I was very nervious about doing this to be honest. It was one of my goals for this year. So, It was time to start getting over the fear and actually do it! I am amazied by all the over the top videos out there. I’m not going to tell you how many times I re did the audio. I just seem to freeze and my brian shuts off when the recorder starts. :> Anyway, here is the video all about how I made this lovely little thank you.
This style of card is really fun to make. And once you figure out how. You will be making theme all the time. They are quick and easy to make. And leave a lott of WOW factor!!!

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for October 2016. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month our projects feature cards made using “wicked” folds. What is a “wicked” fold? It is anything other than the standard A2 card fold. We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.
You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below. The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.
I don’t normaly do a lot of different card folds. So when preparing for the hop I did a google surch to find witch fold I wanted to make. Well, there are so many different ideas! I foud one that I really liked but, I could not really find any information about the particular fold. After surching Google, I decided to go over to Splitcoast Stampers (where I should have started) to surch there imance galerys. That’s when I stumbled across a tutorial by Dawn at Splitcoast Stampers. Ah, that’s the fold I wanted. So be sure to check out her tutorial. And if you are like me, a visual learner, then the tutoral is for you. She has great pictures and a video to show you exactly what to do. Yeppie!!!
I thought about the paper I wanted to use. I decided on By the Shore.
By The Shore
The Designer Series Paper is perfect for the Pinwheel Fun Fold that I wanted to make. The patern on each side would be showcased! I paired this paper with the ovious choice, Seaside Shore Stamp Set. On a side note, I love this paper paired with Real Red for Christmas Cards.
Seaside Shore
This is such a happy stamp set!
The Pinwheel Fun Fold makes a great little card that looks like a pinwheel or a pretty box top. And when you add a “belly band” it just really pops. I just love how easy this card was to make. And I love that it brought to mind making pinwheels with my Granny. We took origimi paper and made pinwheels for a family reunion. It was great fun. This card definatly remindes me of that day.
I so enjoyed making this card, I am adding it to my folder of templates. Along with directions, and a few notes. I adore how the Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper shines with this card fold. Buy the way, The Designer Series Paper is on sale right now. Buy 3 and get one Free!!! What a fablous deal!
When you open up the card, things get really special.
Hear are a few details:
You will need Designer Series Paper of your choice, a bone folder, paper snips, and the Simply Scored Board.
Cut down your paper to 8 by 8.
Score the paper like this ” mark the paper at 3″ from each corner. Align square panel on scoring board with opposite points up and down. Score down from each 3″ mark, using a ruler to ensure alignment with the groove.” (via directions on Splitcoast) If you are so lucky as to have a digonal plate for your scoring board. Use it and score at 3 inches. Do this on all four sides
The next step is to cut away the small triangles where the score lines cross. Do this on all four sides.
Score at 1 inch on each side. Place the corner of the paper in the corner of the scoring board. Do this on all four sides.
Next, just fold and burnish on the 1 inch score lines and the 3 inch score lines.
I glued down the 1 inch folds.
Then fold like this “To create the Pinwheel Fold: Fold up bottom flap, then fold over the flap to the left (clockwise); repeat with 3rd flap (continuing clockwise) then, Fold over the last flap and tuck under the first flap (like folding a box).” (via directions on Splitcoast)
Paper: By The Shore, Dapper Denim, Calypso Coral, Pool Party, and Whisper White
Dies: Layering Circles
Other: Simply Scored Board, Paper Snips, Bone Folder, Stampin’ Trimmer
Don’t forget that the Designer Series Paper is on sale. A perfect time to stock up! So you can make Pinwheel Fun Fold Cards to your hearts content!!!
