Lucky Fox

One of my all time favorite things to create are quilts!  I've been an avid quilter for many years and there is by no means a shortage of blankets at my house lol!  So when I saw this Pinwheel quilt design for paper I knew I had to jump on board. 

I got all my elements for the fox ready to cut with my cameo.  I'm one of those paper hoarders that saves all my scraps that are at least a 1" square lol.  They come in super handy when piecing images.

Once everything is cut, I begin the chalking process.  Each piece will be chalked to add dimension.  For the base of the fox, I like to use my eBrush and a Sharpie marker to make all the edges a solid color.  

I also like to stamp my sentiment before adding any additional layers to ensure I get a smooth stamp.  I love this stamping tool!! I allows you to stamp multiple cards in the same spot or restamp if the stamp is a little blotchy.  I chose a fun sentiment from Scrappy Moms ~ oh how I wish they were still in business!!

So now it's time to start the pinwheel block.  Here are the pieces will you want to cut:
2 ~ 3 x 3 squares of colored cardstock for the base
2 ~ 2 7/8 x 2 7/8 squares in white
8 ~ 1 3/8 x 1 3/8 squares cut out of 2 different patterned papers

Start out by gluing your white squares onto your colored bases.  Then overlap them and adhere to each other.  I glued mine about 1/2" from the points.

Next you will start assembling your overlapping patterned paper.  You will want to ONLY glue half of the first square in place as you will need to put half of your last piece under this one.  So my first square is the green plaid one pointing to the top and only the LEFT side is glued.  You'll continue gluing the other patterned paper onto the next section, overlapping the first.  Continue doing this around.  You'll notice all the first group of patterned paper are on one square while the others are on the second white square. When you get to the last piece you will see how the 2 pieces meet without creating the overlap.  You will want to carefully glue the left side of the top piece UNDER the first square.  Then glue that section down.

Once your quilt sections is complete, add it to your card base.

You are all set now to add your pieced fox or any type of embellishment if you are not adding a cute piecing.

Hope you enjoyed this card!
