I fell in love with the Sweet Stockings Suite as soon as I saw it. The cats and dogs are so adorable and I love the new jolly felt. It is so easy to die cut!

My card is a pinwheel tower card. I love the way this card has multiple panels so I can use all my favorite products.

When I first started seeing Pinwheel Tower cards on Pinterest, I searched YouTube and watched some videos. I really like the ones from Linda Heller. She showed different sizes. I choose to make a standard A2 size card so it would fit in Stampin' Up! envelopes.

To make the tower, I used a piece of 4 1/4 by 4 1/4 Designers series paper. No need to use cardstock for this part because it just adds extra weight to the card. I score the paper at 1,2,3 and 4 inches. I used my bone folder to get nice crisp creases. I used a piece of Tear Tape on the smallest flap to make the tower.

After I made the tower I some Old Olive cardstock into 4 pieces. Each piece is 2 3/4 by 4 1/4 and then I adhered them to the tower. Next came the best part,  decorating each panel!  

My favorite panel has a stocking and a hat that I die cut from the Jolly felt. It cuts so easily. I stamped the dog in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and color it with the Stampin' Blends. I was trying to make her look like my sweet little doggie.

For the next panel, I just used some of the Sweet Stockings Designers Series Paper(DSP) with a simple sentiment because I didn't want to cover up all the adorable dogs and cats.

I stamped, colored, and die cut a few presents.

For the final panel, I fussy cut the beautiful dog from the DSP and added a sentiment.
