Rah, Rah, Rah! It’s daytime, so I made pinwheels instead of keeping with sparklers, for Sweet November Patriotic Pixie Betsy! I ❤ them! I used a 5/8 inch square punch to punch the double sided pattern paper… poked a hole in the center of the square… cut up toward the hole from each corner… then folded one tip from each corner up to meet the center hole. When I put in the teeny 1/16th in brads, I caught those tips and kept them under the brad.

I used CC Designs Butterflies Postage set (images stamped with Pumice Stone Distress ink), It’s Your Birthday Sentiment set and Beach sentiments set (stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink). I did use my Stamp a ma jig to position the sentiments.
The pattern paper is from K & Company. One of their little pads they make and say they’re for matting photos. I’ve had it for a couple years though… sorry… it’s a good one! I was sure tickled to find it stashed away here! lol Edges all inked with Walnut Stain Distress ink and the ink blending tool. I found an Americana 12×12 paper pad from K & Company online… linked below… not the same thing but might give the older style look…
The little clouds are from the smallest Fiskars cloud punch series… so cute! (the smallest I could find says medium) I colored them a little with some Warm gray copics… W0, 1, 3.
The grass is CC Designs Cutters Grass border die! oh, I LOVE this die! I crimped it too… love this little crimper! hehe… sorry gals…JK! lol I gave it some inking with Peeled Paint Distress ink and the Ink Blending tool.
I used the Perfect Layers 1/8th in. tool to cut the red layer.
Card base is 5 x 7, cut from an 8.5 x 11 sheet of kraft card-stock. Scored with a Martha Stewart score board.
