Pinwheels are really in right now- so decided it was time to give them a try-

Supplies needed-
Pattern paper- any size square- using summer smooches dsp
boho blossom punch- matching card stock
1 1/4 circle punch
sticky stripe, snail adhesive
paper piercer
paper snips
brad
lollipop stick
Simply scored scoring tool with diagonal plate

Here I have a 3 in square- use the diagonal scoring tool- score at 0 on both sides

Here I also scored a 2 1/2 in square-
Now use paper snips and cut on diagonal - stop about 1/2 inch  before the middle point

On each right side triangle corner add snail adhesive

Bring right side up and 1/8 past the middle-  bring up all four sides

Punch a boho blossom flower to add to the middle- attach with snail
Punch with paper piecer to attach brad- will hold pinwheel together

Now to attach your lollipop stick- I use sticky stripe
Add sticky stripe to your stick
Punch out a 1 1/4 cricle in matching cardstock- add sticky stripe- I found this holds the best

Attach stick to back side of faux pinwheel

Attache the 1 1/4 circle to finish the back side of the pinwheel-
Now you are ready to attach to your project!!!

I attached my pinwheel to a gift bag- What a fun summer birthday package!!!
The pinwheel on the gift card holder I attached with a  brad to the belly band- no sticky stripe needed!!!
So go give the pinwheels a try- They also make great Bouquets- Have a Great week!!!
Come back on Tuesday July 3  for a Great Pinwheel Bouquet for Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge!!!
Happy Stamping, Diane

Hallowe’en Top Note Treat Box

http://jackiestamps4fun.wordpress.com/2008/10/08/halloween-top-note-treat-box/


I made this cute little box like the one I saw here.  It was super easy!  How-to here, but if you want a photo tutorial, please visit previously mentioned link.
It uses one sheet of 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper.  Cut to 8″ x 5 1/2″.  Scoring along the longer side, score at 1″, 3 1/2″, 4 1/2″ & 7″.  Then turn and score each end at 1″.  Fold score lines and cut each tab along the longer side.  Fold to make a “hinged” box.  (Enlarge each photo by clicking on them.  Sorry for the poor photo on the side view, but I wanted to just get this out).

Using the Top Note Bigz Die, run your leftover piece of card stock folded in half like you would a regular sized card, through the Big Shot - only make sure the folded side is just below the perforated marks so it doesn’t cut all the way through.  Then cut in half for 2 sides - top & bottom.
Decorate the top as desired.  Using the Crop-a-dile, place eyelets on each end of the outside of the Top Note in the center.  On the backside of each of the halves, adhere ribbon using sticky strip and run ribbon through eyelet to tie.  Adhere top and bottom of the box with sticky strip.
I distressed a scrap piece of the Ghostly Greetings, added some Chills & Thrills rub-ons, and a tag I had made from the Eat, Drink, & Be Scary stamp set from the Holiday Mini.
I hope you enjoyed it and try making one for yourself!  Thanks for stopping by!
