I've had the lace ribbon punch for a while, but always forget to use it. What better way to showcase it than repeating the ribbon? I used Rose Red, Wild Wasabi, and Perfect Plum to create the ribbons and added them straight to a white card. The decorative label punch cut out the phrase from the retired Smarty Pants set.
By far, this was the most labor intensive card, but the resulting Pinwheel is well worth it! I used the DSP Everyday Enchantment paper and a circular punch to create the pinwheel. Inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest, I used 8 circles, folded them in half and then used a large brad to secure them. Getting them onto one brad was a bit of a challenge, and I ended up adding them to the brad different directions rather than just one and rotating them around. Pool Party (card), Everyday Enchantment paper, and the decorative label punch rounded out the card. Ribbon is Calypso Coral an Lucky Limeade from the Sale-A-Bration last spring.
PS - The pinwheel doesn't actually spin and is held in place with dimensionals.
My final card tried embossing with two separate embossing folders - polka dot and a handwritten script. I framed some images from the Pocket Silhouettes set on the Rose Red background and added the other two embossed layers (Wild Wasabi and Pretty in Pink). It's something I'd never tried before, but I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out. I might have to try this again!
