You are invited to share your creativity by linking up your crafty projects at the end of this post! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies, stencils and papers. This challenge will run for 2 weeks and be open until Sunday, March 17th at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select an entry to receive a $50.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! Everyone who enters a challenge has a chance to be the random drawing winner! Woohoo!

We will also be highlighting a few of your fabulous projects at the close of each challenge! By linking your projects to our challenges, you will give permission for us to post your work to this blog and our social media sites. Check out the How to Play page for a few guidelines to play along. We want this to be FUN, so we’ll keep the rules to just a few!

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!
