Sunshine and Sprinkles Box Card Featuring the Pinwheel Die
This card was fun to make and even more fun to teach! It's cool seeing people's faces light up when they realize how easy something so complex-looking can be.
I've used the very fun Pinwheel Die on this project for a fresh look and paired the bright colours in Sunshine and Sprinkles with black to really make them pop!
The belly band slides off and the card opens like a box – a fun surprise for the recipient!
I love using double sided papers for projects like this. Not only do you have double the selection, but isn't it a nice touch to have prints linside the project as well? Just like a designer lined jacket.
On the belly bank I used the new Wishes Your Way stamp set, which pairs up so nicely with the pinwheel die. It's a long sentiment, perfect for across a card, but for this particular one, it was just too long.
So, one of the advantages of clear mount stamps is you can just cut the rubber! I know it sounds awful, but I cut the image in two pieces and placed them on the block how I wanted them spaced.
It's really not a big deal; you can just position them back as original for use later if you wish. I love the versatility of rubber stamping!
