HOW TO USE GIVE IT A WHIRL DIES

These are fun dies and if you make cards for kids you will want to invest in the dies. They include the mechanism as well as some fun shapes to go along with it. I have been working on designing my next class and I am using Art In Bloom Hybrid Bundle so I had a few flowers left over from playing with that and decided they would make a great front for my card. It goes to show that you can decorate it any way you want. I think the new Santa Clause coming out in the July - December Catalog will be really fun with this set of dies!

Cut 4 x 11 1/4 Soft Succulent, score at 5 1/2
Cut 5 3/8 x 4 - Basic White
Determine which shape you want to use for the window
Cut 5 1/2 x 4 Designer Series Paper, then place the window shape and the large rectangle on the DSP and cut out
Center the DSP on the Basic White and trace where the area for the wheel is, punch with a 1 1/4" punch
Cut 4 x 4 Basic White, cut wheel out, it will leave impressions, stamp those areas, remember the wheel turns. Turn it so the greeting is at the top each time you stamp so you don't end up with one upside down.

Line up the DSP with the Basic White and punch a hole in the Basic White where the small hole is in the DSP

Put the brad through the DSP, don't close the prongs down, turn it over and put dimensionals on the back of the DSP, allowing the wheel to move freely, remove from DSP

Attach the wheel to the Basic White, don't tighten down it needs to be able to turn
Peel off the dimensionals on the DSP and adhere to the Basic White over the wheel, attach to the card front & decorate

Flowers: Stamp with Art In Bloom in Pale Papaya and die cut

Add a bow and one of the little arrows from the Give It A Whirl Dies
