This is the front of my card. Adhere 2 of the 6 panels to the front.

This shows the W-Fold. With the left and right panels of the inside of the card on the outside of the card folded flat, fold the 3 X 6 panel in half and adhere approximately in the middle of the panels.

DSP:
6 @ 1-7/8 x 5-1/4, 2 of 1 pattern, 4 of another or 2, 2, and 2 of 3 papers. Two go on the front, the other four inside.
Basic White: 2 @ 2 ¾” x 2 ¾”
1 @ whatever fits your sentiment
Optional Ribbon: 15” On my card, I tied it around the left panel on the front of my card.
Sentiment for the front of the card, possibly with a die cut or two. Die cuts or stamping for the left inside square.

When opened the panel sticks “out”.

When closed for mailing, the 3 X 6 panel is pushed to the inside.

Vertical/Portrait card OR Horizontal/Landscape (makes 2 cards)
Clue #1… gather your supplies, All measurements in inches.
Cardstock Base: (colored or white)
– 2 @ 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, score long side at 4-1/4
Optional cardstock layer:
– 2 @ 5-1/4 x 4
DSP:
– 2 @ 5 1/4 x 4 if NOT using the optional cardstock layer, cut in half both directions 2-5/8 by 2
-1 @ 5 x 3 3/4 if using the optional cardstock layer, cut in half both directions 2-1/2 x 1-7/8

Cutting the DSP:
if using directional paper, be sure to cut carefully. Line up the 2 pieces of DSP small rectangles, cut one pair from top left corner to bottom right. Line up the next 2 pieces and cut top right corner to bottom left corner. See the picture

If making the horizontal card, cut the small rectangles the same way, but with the rectangles wider than they are taller. I don’t want my airplanes to fly upside down! See below.

Then lay out the cut rectangles in a pinwheel design and adhere to either the card base or the card layer.

Decorate the card with a die cut or stamped image that coordinates with your DSP! Add a white panel inside for your message, if needed.

I hope you like this easy pinwheel card! Please join us if you like to make a card without knowing what it is until you are done!!
