The new Give It a Whirl Dies are so much fun! Have you seen them yet? I’ve been inspired by many and have been pinning some of these creations on my 2021-22 Annual Catalog Pinterest board. But I’ve been most inspired by team member, Vy Tran’s spinner card variations. She does a great job making interactive cards! Click here to see her card that led me in the direction of my Spinning Sunshine Rays birthday card that I’ve just put together this weekend.
I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating it. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
