Thank you so much! And Welcome to My Channel! There is a lot of great content if you feel like back watching some. At the moment I am in the middle of a major move and new content is a bit sporadic. But I'll be back soon!!
Love the template. I think I had one a few years ago when my friend and I made 80 pinwheel Christmas cards. Cards are great! Guess I'll head to the craftroom! You have inspired me!
WOW I am impressed - 80 pinwheel cards took a lot of time to cut and put together!! I am sure they were just beautiful. It's a great technique to pull out every few years and renew a little differently!
Hi Julia, The cards you made today are beautiful, and your papers matched perfectly. Yes, it is a good way to use the smaller scrap pieces in your stash. I have always wondered how these cards were made. Firstly I didn't know they were called pinwheel cards, but thanks to you now I know. It was helpful seeing you placing the small squares to complete the pinwheel. If you gave me all the pieces to make this card I probably wouldn't know where to put them... LOL! I love finding your latest tutorials in my notifications... thanks , and happy crafting Julia.
Hi Gloria - I remember the real pinwheels on sticks that you would blow on and then they would spin. As a child they were great fun! And there are several other little pinwheel things I have made over the years that are much more complicated, with turning and pinning the centers in. These are easy, especially with that template. Try some!! Have a Blessed week and as always come back soon!!
@@SeniorSusieStamps Oh yes that is right... I had forgotten about that! When we went to the town show in the 1970's you could get pinwheels on a stick or cupie (I think that is how you spelt it) dolls on canes. We loved them as children, and a thing of the past...!
@@SeniorSusieStamps That was certainly taking a walk down memory lane as I hadn't even given them a thought until you mentioned the pinwheels on sticks... Thank you Julia. : ) I must say that I got the spelling wrong didn't I? In fact I was going to spell it 'Qupie', but I thought that looked wrong... so does Cupie!!! Honestly I don't think I have ever seen Kewpie spelt before, however I am relieved that you knew what I meant. Thank you for the wikipedia link it was interesting reading.
I hope they enjoy them! Pinwheels have been around forever, but somehow these seemed a little different to me. Maybe because of the various card sizes??!!
This is such a wonderful tutorial. I have watched other tutorials but your instructions are fabulous and I am, now, confident I can do this. Thank you! 💜
Glad it was helpful Shawn! Pinwheels are great for using up a few pesky scraps. And if you have a little center focal, it covers up those little mismatches nicely. The pinwheel card can be a real showstopper too, using the right papers!!
I just love this pin wheel card , the gray and white one it’s fantastic,, you give me mojo to stat making cards again in face book you said you would send me one but I live in Australia, 😢. I could always do a swap with you,I just love a card from you,,🙋♀️ love every video you do thank you
You are so welcome Wendy! These are such fun little cards and I love the different sizes. Let's wait until the dust settles on this crazy move and then we can revisit a cart swap - how does that sound? I like to do the details of those over on facebook in a PM.
Oh Joan - Thank you for such a sweet comment! I think the more love we spread into the world through our hobby the better a place it will be. Come back soon!!
This is a really pretty concept Julia! I can say I’ve seen one like it yet. I know a quitter friend or two would really appreciate a card like this! Also I tried your tip for cutting thin strips of paper and it was a life saver! Thank you for sharing another wonderful video!❤️
Thanks - So sorry for the late reply I just found your comment! Good grief! Did you ever make your quilter friend a card - I bet if you ran it through an embossing folder it would really look like a quilt!
Hi janet - I'm glad you're here!! There is a lot of great content already on the channel, so you can back watch if you feel like it. I do try to put out a new video on Sunday afternoons (USA time), but am in the process of a challenging move right now so that may be a bit hit and miss...
I like the slimline cards they are adorable. I never seen them that size for the pinwheel. The pinwheel for the slimline I got the measurement of 2 1/8 by 2 1/8 then 2x2 what was the size for the top of the pinwheel? Thanks Julia.
Your videos are fabulous. I feel like my crafty mojo is back thank you for the inspiration ☺️. Do you have a tutorial on how you made the paper strip background on the black pinwheel card? Thanks
Thanks Lindsey - I really appreciate your sweet comments! That background really made the pinwheel card stand out didn't it? And no I don't think I have done a video specifically for that background. I will add it to the list!! Talk soon, Julia
Just a few questions. On first pinwheel is the base 2 3/8 or 2 5/8? The mini pinwheel what are square sizes? The sample card of slim line card, you put a pinwheel in the center, what is the size of that center pinwheel?
LOL I had to go watch this video again to see it I could remember. The pinwheel center on the minislimline is a 1 inch square punch. The squares on the first pinwheel are 2 3/8 (black layer) and 2 1/4 (designer paper).
@@SeniorSusieStamps thanks, I was just making sure I heard the measurements correctly. Because other videos say 2 5/8 and I love the idea of the two different bases. ( the black and the other color. Thanks for information.😊💜
This is the best pinwheel card ever! I absolutely love that you go the extra to make your cards very special. So glad I found your channel today!!

@@gloriaonesimus6244 I thought so too!
I just loved these cards. I would like to make a sample to show at my scrapbook/card making group.

Wow fantastic cards & instructions i lve your giggles
Hi Jean - Aren't those FUN? They use up a few little scraps and are just engaging to make. You can do all sorts of things with a Pinwheel!
This is a really pretty concept Julia! I can say I’ve seen one like it yet. I know a quitter friend or two would really appreciate a card like this!

Hi LaDonna and Welcome to my channel. I never thought about using these for Thanksgiving but they would be perfect! Happy Crafting and Come Back Soon!
Thanks for sharing!
Pinwheels are always fun and a good way to use up a few scraps too!
How cute !!!
Thank you Betty - sorry it took me so long to respond, I just now found your comment! These Pinwheel cards are fun!

Terrie I used a 1 inch square punch, or 3/4 square punch for those. Depending on which one I was using at the moment. You can do either.
Your videos are fabulous. I feel like my crafty mojo is back thank you for the inspiration ☺️. Do you have a tutorial on how you made the paper strip background on the black pinwheel card? Thanks

Do you have a tutorial for a 5 x 7 pinwheel card?
No Louisa - I'm sorry but I don't have one.
Is very small. Peut on le faire plus grand que ça ?
Of course you can make it bigger, depending on how large your card fron is. Experiment and see what you like best!
