Pinwheel Bookmark Card
Base of the card: Open the blank card and measure three 3¼” sections (thirds) and score fold lines. Fold so the front flap folds to the left. Cut the striped paper to 9¾”x9” and glue to the card with the green side showing. Fold up the excess flap along the bottom so the stripe shows. Fold card while the glue is wet so the paper will adjust at the fold lines. Use the piercing tool to create holes for the brads at all four corners on the front flap and back flap. Insert pink 1/8” brads in the front and blue on the inside. Cut a 3/8” strip from the green circle pattern and glue ¼” from the top edge.
Stamp “Count your life…” greeting on 2”x1” white cardstock with berrylicious ink. Round the corners and mat with pink paper. Glue to the center of the striped section on the front of the card. Stamp “Count your age…” greeting on 2¼”x1” white cardstock with deep lagoon ink. Round the corners and mat with turquoise paper. Glue to the center of the striped section on the far right (inside) of the card.

Trace two 4” Double Flora pinwheels onto turquoise paper and cut out. Use the piercing tool to make the brad holes. Cut out a flower from the paper for the center of the pinwheel. Follow the instructions on the template to create the pinwheel. Place the cut out flower in the center and insert ¼” pink brad. Use the piercing tool to make a hole in the bookmark to attach the pinwheel. Attach with the brad, being careful not to flatten the pinwheel.
