Carousel Step Card



I made this one in  Black and White .
Hello Thursday Everyone
I made a video yesterday of  this Circus card I made with a new cartridge.  I picked this cart up at Walmart called Carousel. My Walmart had them all marked down to $29. When I picked it up I didn't have high hopes for this cart. I thought maybe one or two cuts were cute. BUT!!! once I got it home and started looking at it and thinking, What can I do with this? I started to believe I had a pretty good cart there. I made a center step card and it was prefect for this theme. This is a 6x6 card. I made it for our card swap at the end of July.
The center step card is cut at  5.5 x11
see video for scoring measurments
The circus is 1 inch
The carousel is 4 inches
The balloons are 3 inches
The video shows how simple this card is to cut and assemble.

Happy Crafting
Terri

  1. Wonderful Circus Carousel card. I got the cartridge on sale also and have yet to use it but now this has inspired me. Not made a center step/stair step card. Wrote down the instructions and am going to give it a try. I recently bought the new Fiskars trimmer with clear area so you can see to make slits and have not opened it out of pkg but will definitely now. I like carousels also and like your color choices.
