Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin Easy Fun Fold Card
Today’s share is a special one – not only because it’s a striking Pinwheel Tower fun fold, but because I’ve used almost entirely the April Paper Pumpkin Lakeside Retreat kit to make it.
You are limited to the ideas included in the kit box; use the kit to make all sorts of other projects, including memory keeping and fun folds! I’ll be sharing a 12+ alternative project PDF with exclusive project instructions from the Paper Pumpkin Creatives Design Team for my April Paper Pumpkin subscribers.
You can also purchase the Paper Pumpkin Creatives Lakeside Retreat alternative project PDF here. Ready for immediate download!
Each of these panels on the Pinwheel Tower card is a mini canvas, perfect for showcasing these tranquil scenes featured in the Lakeside Retreat kit. The left hand side panel is even more slim, so it’s a great spot to use scraps so you can use every bit of your beautiful papers.
The included “gems” are those fun rocks. And they are pretty flat, so they work quite well in a project like this where the panels are better to stay fairly flat. (It already folds up to be quite thick).
If you missed the April Lakeside Retreat kit, you can also order the Waterside Retreat Suite as of 5 May, which coordinates with the Lakeside Retreat kit.
