Mini Carousel Pop-up Book

 Here is a Carousel Card/Book.  I used the following Graphic 45 paper lines: Steampunk Spells; Rare Oddities; Steampunk Debutant;  Odd Curiosity Shoppe; Master Detective; and Charmed.  Possibly some others (some were journaling cards / Ephemera).   The floors were white cardstock, scored at ½ inch and inked with G45 Dark Cashmere. Note: I probably should have started with White Cardstock to make it more Sturdy and then decorated it with Graphic 45, it doesn’t want to hold the shape as well as I’d like, probably due to how large it is.

 

This was based on Matthew Reinhart’s tutorial in YouTube; his was 3.5x4.5 do and mine is 7.5 x 5.5, it took a while to figure out the changes, but in order to use the large graphics it was necessary.

Spellbinders birdhouse + graphic 45 "Midnight Masquerade"

i made the birdhouse using my new Spellbinders (steel rule) birdhouse die --I used cardboard and then covered with pieces I cut out with Graphic 45 "Midnight Masquerade" -- I fussy cut out the little scenes from 8x8 paper so they













would fit in the birdhouse.. I did multiple layers and "worked" the paper to make the figures look more lifelike(the pictures just don't do it justice) The flowers are a mixture of G45 and heartfelt, the leaves and sprigs are G45.. It is about 4 inches tall ..
