It’s time to Give It A Whirl and create some fun little spinner card designs. Now if you are familiar with spinner cards, you might be rolling your eyes as they tend to be putzy cards to make. However, these are super simple and fun little cards to create because the Give It A Whirl Die set does all the work! All you have to do is assemble the cards and decorate them. So today I have 4 different spinner card designs to share which feature a variety of Saleabration products.
Give It A Whirl Dies
First let’s talk about the Give It A Whirl die set as this is where the magic happens. The large circle die is used to create the spinner section of the card. The medium sized heart, circle and fan-shaped dies create the little window on the card. The large rectangular die creates the front panel of the spinner card and is used in conjunction with one of the window dies. Plus, there are a variety of other dies in the set which can be used to decorate your cards.



One of the cool features of the Give It A Whirl dies is that the large rectangular die attaches to each of the window dies. This helps hold the window die in place when you cut out the panel. The window dies also attach to the spinner circle die. It’s a pretty cool feature so be sure to watch the replay of this week’s video to see this in action.
Catching Butterflies
The first spinner card features the Catching Butterflies stamp set. This is one of the many different products you can get for FREE with a qualifying order during Saleabration. Just a reminder, Saleabration ends on Monday, February 28, 2022. So be sure to shop and take advantage of the Saleabration rewards soon. This particular stamp set is a must have!



To create this card, start by cutting 4 different pieces of the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper at 1-1/2 x 6 inches. Adhere the 4 different pieces on a 6 x 6 inch piece of white cardstock. Cut out the front panel of the spinner card with the large Give it a Whirl die and one of the “window” dies. Cut out the spinner circle from a piece of white cardstock using the die from the set. Stamp a variety of different images on three sections of the white circle. Use a brad to hold the panel and spinner section together and adhere to the card front with a few dimesionals.

Awesome Otters
The second spinner card features images from the Awesome Otters stamp set. The concept for creating this card is the same as the previous card I shared. However, the images in this particular stamp set are too large to stamp on the sections of the white spinner circle. In this case, stamp the images on a scrap piece of white cardstock. Cut out the images using the fan-shaped die from the Give It A Whirl set. This will enable you to adhere each of the images to the three sections of the spinner circle.

Driving By
The third spinner card features the Driving By stamp set. This card showcases one of the card images from the set on two sections of the spinner circle. I actually stamped the image on one of the Simply Marbleous papers and cut them out with a scissors. You might also notice a bit that the cards are two different colors. This is accomplished by stamping the card image on two different paper colors. Cut out one full image and then cut out some “accent” pieces from the other image. This technique is called paper piecing.



So for example, stamp the car on piece of blue paper and cut it out with a scissors. Stamp the car again on a piece of yellow paper and cut out just the top pieces of the car. Adhere the yellow pieces to the coordinating sections of the blue car. You now have a two-toned car! You can add addition colors to the car using your stampin’ blends. Adhere the two cars to different sections of the spinner circle and then stamp a greeting in the third section of the circle.

Island Vibes
The last spinner card design features the Island Vibes stamp set. The concept for creating this card is the same as what I have been describing with the other 4 cards. This time I decorated the panel of the spinner card with some stamped images. The spinner section of the card has a variety of different greetings or sentiments. So when the recipient spins the card, a new greeting or sentiment pops up. Just another fun way to use the spinner section.
