[@katherinemunro9770]

Using 2 colours looks more like a pinwheel, and one colour looks more like a star. Both are lovely.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Katherine. Yes, I think you have summed it up perfectly!. xx

Absolutely love this card. I love all your cards...

Many thanks, Gloria. xx

[@geraldinehomenchuk8655]

BEAUTIFUL Jan! and while the bird & magnolia cards with the small squares being the same are in fact quite lovely, I definitely prefer how the alternating squares show off the Faux Pinwheel design best ... may be the quilter in me, it appeals to me more from that point. Those petals do appear a bit tricky alright. I might have been tempted to fussy-cut a flower or grouping from the DSP used for your decoration below the sentiment although the wee buttons work very well too! Beautiful colours & papers used! Thanks so much; you've actually inspired me to finally try this card design! 😊

[@janbcards]

Hi, Geraldine. Yes, I came to that conclusion when I watched the video. I love the card with the birds, but it's definitely the faux pinwheel that I did "properly" that I like the best! Unfortunately, I didn't think any further than the petals e.g. what would I use if that idea didn't work! Tch! Tch! xx

[@debratylus6371]

I prefer all same square. Love it

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Debra. I'm still sitting on the fence! LOL! xx

[@carolynmanning76]

They’re all beautiful, hard to say which I prefer. I do prefer the fresh fig petals over the washi tape petals.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Carolyn. I'm very pleased you like this project. xx

[@Yvonneb_]

Beautiful cards. I prefer the off set I think but all are very nice. I think it was Amanda Scrimpin mommy who showed how to use those petals. xx

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Yvonne. I'll check Amanda out. xx

[@noreenklassen6907]

I liked the petals. It looked good.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Noreen. I really need to play with them a bit more! xx

[@laurelsinger7166]

Love the pinwheel design. The gorgeous papers take the design to the next level.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Laurel. I think overall, each design is as popular as the other! xx

[@yvonnebongle7281]

Beautiful cards Jan. I like the offset pattern better. However, the others are beautiful too. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Yvonne. xx

[@barbarapalczewski5341]

They all look great! The petal one is striking because of the way it matched the vertical cardstock! You just put them together perfectly! Your cards SING!

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Barbara. That's a lovely way to describe my cards, thank you! xx

[@maryduboispudd4969]

Love your design.

Many thanks, Mary. xx

[@noneyobusiness6582]

Jan these cards are so cute. I really miss watching and learning how to do your cards and boxes when I cant find your classes. There are so many that do their demonstrations but I dont like them for one reason or another. Some of them I cant understand when they talk. Generally because their micrafone isnt working or some other reason. However I have always enjoyed your classes so very much. Thank you

[@janbcards]

Aww, bless you, Noneyobusiness. I really appreciate your very kind words. I'm so pleased you enjoy my style of tutorials. Thank you. xx

[@albanissi]

Great work, Jan!

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Albanissi. xx

[@Saintly2]

You should take a peek at Connie Stewart’s video on how to easily open the new ink pads. They pop open! No more struggling. 😊 ❤️ the cards!!! Your yellow flower center just needed to be cut in half, if possible.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Saintly2. I imagine they could be cut in half, but it may leave rough edges, and I think the insides might be hollow! xx

[@marylutyger675]

I like both designs

[@janbcards]

Many thanks for your feedback, Marylu! xx

[@lisagreth57]

I love that you showed several versions of the same design. Nice job, Jan. Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos and designs with us. I enjoy the way you are always precise and attend to details so carefully. It really pays off in the quality of your projects!

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Lisa. I'm pleased you enjoy my style of tutorial. I appreciate your support, thank you, Lisa. xx

[@carmenbarnes5834]

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Deanette. xx

[@angelaharnett6437]

Your cards are amazing , as always . I like both designs , with the petals washi tape I agree with you that it didn’t look right on your card . The way I used them was to do exactly what you did but made a whole flower instead of just half a flower . Loved the embellishments you used instead . Belated congratulations on your marriage . May you and your new husband have many happy years together . Xx

[@janbcards]

Many thanks for your feedback about the Washi petals, Angela. I'll certainly give your idea a try! And many thanks for your good wishes, too! xx

[@MsPandora93]

Wow! This is a tricky little card and I love the offset one best but probably because those are my favorite colours. Great job, Jan

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Sandra. I like both effects! I think it depends on the patterns. xx

[@ireneisbell2004]

I love all of them . But I did like the petals . I It look good. Thanks .

Many thanks, Irene. I need to play with the petals a bit more! xx

[@judyestrada1446]

Jan- These Cards are very great! I do like the two different patterns in the pinwheel design. It is very becoming and stands out on video as it probably does in person as well. Thank you for sharing this video with us.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Judy. I struck it lucky with the two designs because one matched the centre strip! xx

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Ann. I seem to have made quite a few cards recently using Designer Series Paper; my stash is getting quite low! LOL! xx

[@kaylawrence1381]

Very effective, I prefer the small squares to be the same design.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Kay. Yes, they look quite different to alternate squares. xx

[@bettinaandersen8999]

Wow 😍😍

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Bettina. xx

[@evansdeb]

love the one you did with the merry merlot.. so pretty and I do like the two different small squares that form the pinwheel ..it helps define it more...

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Debbie. I have to say, I'm really pleased I made that card as two designs, instead of one. xx

[@minutsi]

Nice Colour ❤️ Love from Denmark 🙏🏻🇩🇰

[@minutsi]

I would put A Bow, insted of flowers. 🎀

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Minutsi. xx

[@tracyvernon2426]

What a beautiful card,one of my favourites! I like the bird one the best and I think either way with the card looks nice.The merry merlot one with the flowers reminds me of a patchwork quilt and I love the colour.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Tracy. After I had made the eight squares the same, I loved the design. But when I went back to edit my video, I definitely preferred the two different designs because it really brings out the beauty of the faux pinwheel effect. But like you, I love the card with the birds. xx

[@johncmullins5005]

That is an excellent card...I am keeping that one in my template of cards. Offsets are very nice. Thanks Jan.

[@janbcards]

[@janbcards]

[@mariannjack5839]

Thank you so much for teaching us this technique. I love the way your card turned out. I agree that I like the little flower embellishments better than the washi tape. Great card, Jan!

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Mariann. Yes, me too! I need to play with the washi tape; I'm sure it'll make beautiful flowers! xx

[@kateym7836]

After struggling with first card, I switched to 3” square and 1 1/4 square punch as that is what I have; it worked great. Beautiful card with many possibilities.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Katey. Yes, you're right. You can use any size as long as the eight squares are in proportion to the two bigger squares. xx

[@mariaisdeanda8673]

Hi Jan, Gaynor used the petals on a card, may check out her video. But your petals was looking pretty. I loved all your cards. You do a fabulous job on your cards but you always do. That why I fellow your videos. Love, Love, Love! Many Blessings, Maria. Texas, USA

[@lyndasoar4345]

Jan, u share some brilliant ideas. I love the script paper. I'm going to use a smaller pattern on the alternating small squares n try curling up the overlaping corners on those squares to make card more 3d-ish ? Lots of ideas from this design. Thanks for sharing.

[@janbcards]

[@jodieb4970]

Lovely card, Jan. I think the petals would look better as a full flower. I haven't used that washi yet. I like the card with the squares being different (like the one you made in the video). It makes it look more like a quilted square.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Jodie. Yes, I think you're right! I need to play with the Washi Tape to see what can be done with it! xx

Lovely cards. Both are very nice, but the alternating squares stand out more.

[@darlenedesario2811]

Lovely cards. My fav was the one with single flower on front. I actually was with you on the petals, didnt care for them. Maybe use them all the way around a circle with a sentimem in the center. Ive not seen them. Tyfs!

[@auriaduncan6105]

Hi Jan, :You asked us to comment on whether we prefer the squares all the same colors or not. I, personally, prefer all the same design. My opinion is that it looks more uniform!! As always, I love your cards and I duplicate them often.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Darlene. I like your idea about the petals in a circle with a sentiment in the sentiment - I might give it a go! The petals Washi Tape is available from your Stampin' Up! demonstrator. xx

[@reginabator1682]

Hi Jan, so I love the same design all around, but for the mixed design it depends on the design

Many thanks, Regina. I think that's right! The design on the Designer Series Paper should dictate whether it's one or two designs! xx

[@jbroseann1]

Hi Jan, yet again another stunning card and great tutorial. I was wondering if you made 5 x 7inch cards and if you do could you do videos on those as well please? Best wishes Jan x

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Jbroseann1. I always used to make 5" x 7" cards before I joined Stampin' Up! But since then I've found that most crafters prefer C6 so they can get two cards from one sheet of cardstock. I'll certainly give it some thought to see if I can come up with a compromise. xx

[@minikraut]

I think I may have said this before: I just love how calmly you go about things! I saw the "green male" version first on your blog and made a not to recreate this card. I'm just thinking - putting the glue only on 2 sides and a bit, isn't that just important for the very first piece of the pinwheel? Thanks from Germany, Stef

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Stefanie. Yes, you're right. But the squares don't need to be glued all over, so I recommend that all the squares are glued on two and a half sides. This way crafters don't have to remember to only do the two and a half sides on the last one. I think this is the easiest way. xx
