A card suitable for most occasions.
Approximate Time: 10 minutes
Supplies:
- card stock
- coordinating decorative papers
- adhesive
- toothpick
- rubber stamps
- rhinestones
- paper piercing tool is helpful (or a pin)
- tiny brads
Instructions:
- Cut your cardstock to the desired size (standard card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches).
- Cut the decorative paper slightly smaller (I cut it 1/4-1/2 inch smaller) and adhere to card front.
- To create the pinwheel, practice with a Post It note if these directions confuse you.
- Cut a 3x3 inch piece of double sided paper.
- Cut each corner of the 3x3 piece diagonally toward the middle, but do not cut all the way through.
- Pierce a hole in the center of the paper and at every other corner.
- Affix the brad, tines pointing upward in the center hole.
- Place one corner on the brad and working clockwise until you have secured all 4 corners on the brad. (You should now have a pinwheel!). Open brad to secure.
- Decorate to cover the brad tines. (The top of the brad will be on the back of the pinwheel.)
- Fix pinwheel to front of card, add a toothpick for the stick and use a rubber stamp for your greeting. Viola!

Great card. Thanks for posting the info. I think the pinwheel idea can be used for a man, woman or child's card.
