Thank you to Brenda Quintana for the measurements of this card.  This was the challenge for a facebook group I am part of.  We did not have to use her measurements, but I also wanted my card to fit a medium envelope.  I think the original name for this card is Pinwheel Tower Card, or maybe it is Tower Pinwheel.  I may try to do a video, but here is Brenda's.

This is a lot easier than I thought it would be.  The hardest part is figuring out which designer series paper to use, and then which side of the sheet you use!  I chose Beauty of the Earth designer series paper.  I also used the Beauty of Friendship bundle, the Bark 3D embossing folder, and the Tasteful Labels dies.  Stampin'Up! supplies are below and if you order from me, I will send you a card made with what you ordered IF I have it! All sentiments are from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set, except for the I MISS YOU which is from the Art Gallery stamp set. Happy stamping!
