Mimi‘s clever Give It a Whirl card shows a top view of a birthday cake decorated with frosting and confetti! Whirl the tab and a slice is missing! Yummy!

Be sure to check out the Intro to Give It a Whirl video for quick and easy assembly instructions and more ideas!


Mimi used flower dies from Tiny Gift Box Bunny Add-On and Woodland Critter Huggers Summer Add-On to make the frosting rosettes. She cut the larger flower from Woodland Critters Huggers Summer Add-On first, then she cut the flower with the one from Tiny Gift Box Bunny Add-On to give the smaller flower a swirly effect. That is so clever!

Since Mimi decorated the top circle of the “cake” with die cuts, she has a couple tips for making the interactive mechanism move smoothly. She suggests running the decorated circle through the die cut machine a few times to flatten the die cuts. Then she added lots of anti-static powder to cut down on friction. We recommend EK Success Powder Tool for this.


After you “give it a whirl”, part of the “cake” missing with only crumbs, confetti and the cake server are left. The confetti dots are circles from Spring Sprig and Pop-Up Desk. And the “cake server” is a garden tool from Watering Can.


Mimi found the perfect sentiment in Birthday Before ‘n Afters. She stamped it on “banners” made from the Build-An-Aquarium die set. The Happy Birthday on the cake is from Offset Sayings: Birthday.

This card is so brilliant, Mimi! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Design Team Inspiration


Samantha knows we love a punny sentiment and this one from Year Thirteen is so much fun! Samantha also used images from Let’s Roll and Really High Five. All the happy images look great with the brick background stenciled with Distress Oxide Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio.


What could be more festive for a birthday than sparkly, hot-foiled fireworks! Catherine built a fun party scene on a Platform Pop-Up with the Platform Pop-Up Cloud Wrap Around. She die-cut the clouds from Rainbow Ever After paper and another from vellum to create a pretty layered look. And she also used Cake Slice Box to make the sprinkle covered birthday cake. Then she added more cuteness with a mouse from Dandy Day and the ladder from Apple-solutely Awesome. The sentiment combines Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Spring with a greeting from Elphie Selfie.


Karin‘s beautifully simple design features our new Lovely Lily of the Valley Lawn Cuts sets. She arranged the flowers on a Scalloped Slimline with Hearts: Portrait base, then she added a Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Spring greeting on an Everyday Sentiment Banner.


These cute porcupines are celebrating in style in Christy‘s lovely birthday scene! She set a fancy table with goodies from Tea-rrific Day and Tea-rrific Day Add-On for this sweet birthday party!


These farm critters are ready to someone a very happy birthday! Joyce created her cute farm-inspired card with Simply Celebrate More Critters, All the Party Hats, All the Speech Bubbles and Little Farm Fence Border. For the background she used Fruit Salad paper and Apricot cardstock.


Franci‘s Veggie Happy card is perfect for all of your friends and family who love to garden! She arranged her images on a simple watercolor background and added a birthday greeting from Party Animal!



Mimi‘s interactive pull-tab card is the perfect way to say, “happy birthday to roo”! She used both Kanga-rrific and Kanga-rrific Add-On, with All the Party Hats and balloons from Bicycle Built for You. I love how she hid the little joey and balloons inside the Holiday Helpers box. They pop-up with the help of Let’s Toast Pull-Tab Add-On.


The whole Hay There herd is sending happy birthday wishes on Samantha‘s whimsical card! She also used Hay There, Hayrides and Birthday Before ‘n Afters to complete her “on the farm” scene! She used Just Stitching Double Rectangles on her background panel, adding color with Distress Oxide inks in Abandoned Coral, Scattered Straw and Wilted Violet. Then she added “clouds” from Meadow Backdrop: Portrait.

We will have more All Things Birthday Design Team inspiration right here over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 167 –Spring Fling!

Samantha was inspired by this amazing underwater scene card by Elena! It features Mermaid for You and Mermaid for You Flip-Flop!


Samantha created her own underwater birthday party scene swapping Manatee-rific for the mermaids! She also used Watercolor Wishes Rainbow paper in the background, using Stitched Ripple Backdrop instead of Sunburst Backdrop. And she used Simple Stitched Wavy Borders for the ocean floor.

Like Elena, Samantha used the cake from Birthday Before ‘n Afters. She also added images from Scootin’ By, Mermaid for You and You Are Sublime. And like her inspiration, she used Scripty Bubble Sentiments, adding Finley’s ABCs to complete her greeting!

Thank you so much for creating this adorable inspiration, Samantha!
