Welcome to my Monday Makeover Madness card. It's a fun fold called a Tower Pinwheel and I CASEd my friend and upline, Mary Deatherage. Here's a link to her video on how to create it. Why invent the wheel, right? I did, however, include measurements at the bottom of my post.
I used the Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set for all my sentiments. This is the first time I have used this set so I'm entering my card at NBUS #28. I also used the retired Vintage Leaves Stamp Set and matching leaf dies to create my card, along with Pattern Party DSP, Mango Melody, Basic Black and Basic White cardstock. The embellishments are the Pumpkin Pie Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels and linen thread.
I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze, sponged the edges and punched it out with the Label Me Lovely Label Punch.
I stamped the oak leaf in Cajun Craze and cut it out with the matching die from the retired Leaflets Framelits Dies.
This is what it looks like from above and it folds flat to fit into an A2 envelope.
I'm also entering my card at:
