Hi friends! Happy Monday! Did you enjoy a nice weekend? Did you celebrate Easter or Passover? We had a really lovely Easter weekend! We did tons of church activities and rested and enjoyed a rain shower and it was all good! We also binge watched every episode of The Gilded Age on HBO! Gosh, it was soooo good. If you were a fan of Downton Abbey then you have to check out The Gilded Age too! The same writer/creator as DA and this time the story is set in 1882 New York City. Marvelous!! This week is pretty busy here in the studio with lots of good things happening. I hope you have a great week! XO
Today the mail arrived and in the mail was an awesome package from Pretty Pink Posh! And I finally got my set of 3D Pinwheel Dies! Well, you know I ripped open that package and made pinwheels on the spot! Ha! I was so excited to get these pretty dies. I stopped everything! I mean, pinwheels, but with scalloped edges??? Yes please!! Sign. Me. Up. I made some vintage looking pinwheels out of a beautiful paper collection from Simple Stories. These are great for decorations: cupcakes, place settings, packages….even cards! You can use them on anything! Here are my pretty vintage pinwheels!
I can't even tell you how easy these are to put together! Paulina thought of everything – One die cut, one brad, done! The edge makes it perfectly festive.
These look the best I think with double sided papers!! SO PRETTY!!! I used my glue gun to attach the pinwheels to some paper straws. So easy to just stick in a cupcake and poof – you have a party!
I used the stickers that match the papers to add embellishments to the centers of some of the pinwheels.
Supplies for this project!
PPP really did this right – see that small crease/embossed line?? That makes it so your pinwheels are perfect – without trying to curve the paper. Genius.
I'm definitely in the mood still for pretty Spring colors and butterflies!
Okay, sweet crafty friends, that's it for today! I also made my next Doodlebug project for next week. Stay tuned. I might make something else in the meantime…. What are you working on?? Stay crafty! XOXO
