My Granddaughter turned 4 last month. I needed to make her Birthday card and I wanted to try the penny spinner. So I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and this is my take. Well actually it is her take on it. I started with the birthday category in Cricut Design Space 2.0. She loved the image Layer Birthday Cake #M47691 Smiley Cards. I decided to start with that so I then used the circle from Art Philosophy I ungrouped the circle and made the actual circle large enough for the card. I then took the border circle and put it were I though it should go to be the cutout and then used the slice feature to make the cutout where the spinner would go. Sounds confusing but it is very simple. I will make a how to video on this one. Leave me a comment if you want the video.
The Balloons are Balloon #M4429F Birthday Bash I used the flatten feature so that I could just print then cut them out because she wanted those colors. I laid out some white twine and let her run my ShinHan markers over the twine. One color and then another until we had enough for each balloon. Then I just tied them with a piece of white twine and made a bow.
She pick out all the colors for each thing and colored her own background just the way she wanted it. Even though they are not colors that I would have pick she loved them and that is good enough for me. I can't wait to see what she does as she gets older.
On the Sunday morning after her birthday she called me and says "guess what Grandma! What I said. I am 4"! Why yes you are! She was very excited
Here is her finished card and she loved it. The cake spins around by itself and also spins around circle
