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!

Introducing New Design Team Members!

We are so excited to introduce 2 new members of the Lawn Fawnatics Design Team! Help us welcome Catherine Cohen and Mimi Lo! You can read all about these super-talented cardmakers and crafters at our Design Team page. We know they will inspire you with their creativity and be wonderful additions to our amazing team!

We are also saying good-bye to Caly who is leaving the Lawn Fawnatics Design Team for a new assignment with Lawn Fawn.

Now let’s see how our Design Team was inspired to create All Things Birthday!

Mimi created the most amazing birthday gift wrap in happy colors! She added fun images from Wild for You, Year Four, RAWRSOME, Simply Celebrate Summer and Offset Sayings: Birthday! She also included a cut bow in Holographic cardstock from Put a Bow on It, and a gift tag made with an ice cream cone from I Scream You Scream!

Catherine created a whole party with a “strawberry shortcake” theme! For the clever shaker invitation, she used Outside In Stitched Strawberry, Stitched Strawberry Frame and Strawberry Patch to carry the theme. She created “Strawberry Shortcake” with Bicycle Built for You, Berry Special and Special Delivery. There’s also “let’s party” from Party Animal along with Flirty Frames, and “date” and “address” from Plan On It and Plan On It: Appointments.

For the fantastic party decor, Catherine used more strawberry die sets along with Milk Carton, Cake Slice Box and Stitched Scalloped Cupcake Wrapper!

Aparrotly, Franci used our new Year Twelve set to feature on her adorable birthday card! An ink blended Snowy Backdrop makes for a cheery layer of color on this clean and simple design!

Joyce created the sweetest birthday card featuring You Goat This! The mini slimline card is the perfect size for this happy little party!

Samantha‘s birthday card is “on point” with the adorable cactus from Year Ten! She added lots of style to her simple design with ink blending and Lots of Hearts stenciling!

Jessica‘s legendary birthday card combines Lovable Legends with Giant Happy Birthday to You! This design is perfect for all those men on your birthday card list!

This charming card by Karin is simply adorable! She used Outside In Stitched Balloon Stackables, Butterfly Kisses and a birthday greeting from Special Delivery Add-On.

It’s birthday party time in the aquarium! Samantha created this cute card using Fintastic Friends, Party Animal and Virtual Friends Add-On. I love how she added the Ocean Wave Border and Outside In Stitched Thought Bubbles to enhance the underwater theme!

Christy‘s gorgeous card wishes a berry happy birthday with a cute Berry Special scene! The pretty patterned papers in the background are from Flower Market!

Jenn got creative and made a set of cards to give as a gift! They are beautifully made using Clover Background Stencils and Giant Thank You! They will be great for sending a special thank you for all the birthday gifts!

We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 119 – Card Sketch tomorrow! Now it’s time for you to get creative!
