Laura Rumble - Crafter

Dabbling with interactive card making and questioning my sanity go hand in hand.  I've had a few fails (I won't subject you to seeing them!) and this one - which I hope you'll let me call a total triumph... I think the mechanism is called a waterfall but I've used it horizontally rather than vertically. As you pull the tab on the right the pages flip over revealing different icons from StickerKitten's Unicorn Fairground collection. The card base and mechanism is cut from Papermill Direct card and just about everything else is StickerKitten. I may be making a few more of these (not only because my attempt at other styles failed) because they are SO fun!

When I saw this ribbon I knew I wanted to recreate the little tomte in paper form.  Who could possible resist a nisse riding a pig?! I made a pattern and paper pieced him together in matching cardstock.  I tried to include all the details from Ali's design.  I made it slightly dimensional by layering - I guess that is decoupage? I attached the nisse to the card in such a way that he spins... now not only do we have a nisse riding a pig we have a flying pig!! I'd love to give you directions on how to create a spinner card but I worked from several tutorials that I found on you tube and still ended up wondering off on my own path.  I will share clear instructions when I have them, it's on my list of things to do in the new year. Supplies: Ribbon from the Nisse collection from Crafty Ribbons Sequins from SpiegelMom Scraps paper from my stash Thanks for looking!
