Simple Windmill Card

This is a gorgeously simple card, suitable for many occasions!  I just love the little bicycle, in this case in Poppy Parade with details in Classic Matte Dots!

Measurements:  

• Evening Evergreen: 1/2 sheet 
• Basic White:  2 1/4" x 3" (base of windmill), 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
• Flowering Fields DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4"
• Basic Gray: 1/4 sheet
• Poppy Parade: scrap

To Make This Card:

• Adhere DSP to folded Evening Evergreen card.
• Cut "base" of "windmill" from basic White. Cut top layer and windmill "blades", from Basic Gray (Note: I would attach an adhesive sheet to the gray piece for the "top layer".  This will make it easier to attach later!)
• Attach top layer of "windmill" to White base.  Poke hole at top of windmill with "pokey tool" from Take Your Pick Tool. I attached the "blades" first with a Mini Glue dot, then inserted a brad through the hold. (My blades are stationary).
• Attach this to front of card.
• Cut "bicycle" from scrap of Poppy Parade.  Attach to card near "windmill".
• Finish with Classic Matte Dots on the bicycle. And, a White piece on the inside.

Double Easel Windmill

Continuing with Windmill cards, I copied this awesome card from Su Mohr. I was looking for a Fun Fold for Stamp Club this month, and found this one that makes awesome use of the gorgeous Flowering Fields DSP and Windmill Dies!

Measurements:  

• Basic White: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 2 1/4" x 3" (base of windmill)
• Highland Heather: 4" x 10 1/2". 1/4 sheet
• Flowering Fields DSP (N): 3 3/4" x 5" (tulip fields), 2 3/8" x 3 3/4" (tulips-front fold)
• Basic Gray: 1/4 sheet

To Make This Card:

• Fold Basic White card in half lengthwise. 
• Cut largest scalloped contour die from 1/4 of Highland Heather. Attach to inside of white card.
• Fold Highland Heather "card" in half.  Then fold the front back on itself.  Crease well with bone folder! Attach this to front of white card as shown, with Heather fold at the "bottom" of the card.
• Attach larger DSP to "inside", and smaller DSP to "front".
• Cut "base" of "windmill" from basic White. Cut top layer and windmill "blades", from Basic Gray (Note: I would attach an adhesive sheet to the gray piece for the "top layer".  This will make it easier to attach later!
• Attach top layer of "windmill" to White base.  Poke hole at top of windmill with "pokey tool" from Take Your Pick Tool. I attached the "blades" first with a Mini Glue dot, then inserted a brad through the hold. (My blades are stationary).
• Attach this to front of card.
• I finished with a sentiment from the stamp set in black.

Delft Windmill

It was so good to be stamping with my Mom yesterday!  I was needing to create with the Flowering Fields Collection for club this weekend and it did not disappoint.  With 2 bundles in this collection, the possibilities are endless!  I am starting with a "delft" version of the awesome die cut windmill!!  So simple and yet so elegant!

Measurements:  

• Misty Moonlight: 1/2 sheet, 1/4 sheet
• Basic White: 2 1/4" x 3", 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
• Heart & Home DSP: 4" x 5 1/4" (blue print)

To Make This Card:

• Attach DSP to folded Misty Moonlight card.
• Cut "base" of "windmill" from basic White. Cut top layer, awesome bicycyle, and windmill "blades", from Misty Moonlight. (Note: I would attach an adhesive sheet to the blue piece for the "top layer".  This would make it easier to attach later!)
• Attach "windmill", blue top layer to white base. Attach "blades" over eyelet opening with Glue Dot.  
• Attach to card considering placement of "bicycyle".
• Finish with White Dots from the new Classic Matte Dots. Add white quarter to inside!
