I am going to forewarn you that this post is going to be VERY picture heavy. I am not a videographer so I decided to make my tutorial using photos - I sure hope you enjoy it and I would LOVE to hear your thoughts after you have had a chance to check it out!
What made me want to make this card is this amazing Marianne Design Card Carousel Die that Lora sells in the One Crazy Stamper store, here is a photo for you to see what the die looks like...
Here are photos of the tools and supplies that I used to create this amazing card....
Supplies Used: * Whimsy Wee Stamps - Rosetta, Flower Fairies & Ruby * DoCrafts Wellington 8x8 Stamp Set * Your Next Stamp, Watnot Sentiments * Stampabilities True Friends Sentiment * High Hopes Thinking of You Sentiment * Menento Inks - Tuxedo Black, Rich Cocoa & Rhubarb Stalk * Copic Xpress It Paper * Copic Sketch Markers (colours used listed below) * Scor-Pal 1/8 Scor Tape * Scor-Pal * Bazzill Basics Simply Smooth White Cardstock (for card Base & carousel) * Squishy Scissors (for intricate cutting) * Quickie Glue Pen * Fairy Dust Glitter, Sugar Shimmer * Glue Dots * Marianne Design Card Carousel Die * Spellbinder Die - Blossoms Three * My Favorite Things Die-Namics - Flag Stax, Flag Stax Layers & Flower Trio * Sheer Ribbon * Pink Shimmer Card Stock * Patterened Papers: MME 6x6 Pads - Love Me & Indie Chic Safron + Lost & Found 6x6 - Blush * Various Sentiments to match your theme * ATG *
Directions:
* To start off you will need to cut out your card base, cut 2 @ 10-1/4 x 6 + 1 @ 6 x 5-1/8
* You will need to choose your paper(s) and cut 10 @ 5-3/8 x 4-3/8. I chose 5 different co-ordinating papers and cut 2 of each.
*Choose 4 images and 4 sentiments + a cover sentiment or decorative- I also chose to put a "handmade by" stamp on the back of the card. The reason I did not put an image on the front and chose a sentiment instead is because when the carousel is opened the front and back of the card is not seen. Also I chose a Spellbinder set that co-ordinated with my images and also had a few different size selections that I used throughout the whole card for a uniform look (I am a little anal that way if you have not noticed)
*Next you will need to cut out 4 pieces of the Marianne Design Card Carousel Die - see picture below....
*Using your ScorPal, score where I have noted on the bottom right die cut in the picture above.
* Next I put my card 2 large pieces of the cardbase together on top of each other and the smaller piece in the center of the "book", then I placed all my patterened papers on the the card bases in the order that I wanted them to be seen on the carousel. Be sure to attach a piece of ribbon on the underside ofthe front andback pieces of paper so as to create the tie to close the card.
*Once you have on your papers, add your "flower"anchors where two pages of the book join to keep each page attached to each other (this step can been seen on each page showing an image below).
*Next you will want to add your sentiments and coloured images to all the remaining pages. Dont forget to add a "Handmade by" on the back cover!
*Once you have all your indsides completed, add adhesive to the small scored tabs of the carousel die pieces and attach to each section of the insideofthe book.
Below I have pictures to show you of each completed step of my book! Copic colours used on all images will be listed at the end of this post for your refference if interested.
