Happy Friday!

Today we have a new photo tutorial to share with you and I LOVE how easy it is to create. Whether you have a birthday party or baby shower coming up, or want to create thank you treats for teachers, these little boxes are perfect for any and all occasions! 

You may have seen pinwheels on Pinterest and blogs recently- they're super trendy! I personally think they're adorable and love all the colors and patterns they come in. While I have known others to create them, I was intimidated at the thought of them.....A big thanks to Kanani for making these step-by-step photos so easy to follow and releasing all previous intimidation!

TIP: If you don’t have a tiny circle punch, fold the left corner of each triangle towards the center and pierce through all the layers using your piercing tool.


Have a fabulous weekend. We'll be back here on Monday (yes, Memorial Day) for a new Ways With Washi feature by Emily. I hope to see you then!

I kept everything the same here in my design. To give the boat a more finished appearance, all of the edges were scored and turned under. I even gave the sails some dimension by carefully pulling the paper between my fingers to give it the curve. 


 
I think these turned out to be super Father's Day projects even with those pretty little buttons!

Recently I was thinking we needed some samples on these great templates. Dana mentioned a few weeks back that she would be doing a Photo Tutorial on them, which was fabulous news. Then Lisa sent in her Chickie Couture #4 feature and to my delight it featured one of our templates! How cool was it that they were both scheduled for the same week?! I just love when these things happen!

Dana has put together the most amazing and creative use of our Pop-Up Card Templates to date. If you have been intimidated by the thought of creating something 3D (like I am), you are going to LOVE this. Easy-to-follow instructions and just a few supplies and you can create your own pop-up cards in no time!
