Technique Twist #27 Patriotic Colors

The Technique Twist Design Team made some great designs last week using

PATRIOTIC Colors...HERE

Today I've got some additional inspiration using a real red square box, 

Pinwheels from the Stampin'Up June Paper Pumpkin Kit and

my Punch Art take on Uncle Sam.

I just love his tall hat on the Pinwheel Box and the matching stripes!

The Pinwheels are super EASY to make with all the supplies ready to go in the

PAPER PUMPKIN KIT

The box uses a full sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 card stock. 

On the 11" side score at 2 5/8, 5 1/4, 7 7/8, and 10 1/2. 

Score on the 8 1/2" side at 2 5/8. 

Assemble the same as a 2,4,6,8 box......HERE  which makes 2 boxes

Sam's x-large oval head nicely shows off the scallop circle beard underneath.
A 3/8" Itty Bitty Punch pack circle nose and 1/2" circle ears and eyes give him a whimsical look.

Silver glimmer stars adorn the tall hat and are attached with red wire from an old Stampin'Up wire set.

Make a red hat and attach white strips of card stock before attaching the large oval top and brim.

I hope you have enjoyed today's Patriotic Inspiration and

are inspired to bring out the RED WHITE AND BLUE!
