Peter Rabbit Flip Book










Hi Everyone!
Well after yesterdays freezing cold weather - this morning I've woken up to lovely sunshine so before I go out and make the most of it I thought I'd post a card for you.
This little project is a flip book card made using images and paper from the Crafter's Companion Beatrix Potter CDs. As its nearly Easter I thought it would be good to have Peter Rabbit and some other bunnies on my card! LOL.
Anyway, I went to town adding decoupage, flowers, ribbon, gems and Stickles before making a little shrink plastic charm stamped with some of the Winter's Tale stamps.
I love mechanical type cards and once you got the hang of creating a waterfall type movement inside the card, it came together quite quickly. I finished it off by making a box to house it in.
Hope you like it!
I'd like to enter it in the Crafter Companion 'Four Legged Friends' Monthly challenge, Simon Says Stamp's challenge which this week is to use your favourite tool which was definitely my Scoreboard and also in By the Cute and Girly's challenge which is Once Upon a Time.







The last two pics are of the box lid with room to add the person's name and a close up of the shrink plastic charm. In the pics I've tried to show that as you pull the tag out the pages flip over. Hope you get the gist of it! ha! ha! There is a great video that explains how to create the mechanics of the card/book on the Docrafts here.


Anyway, thanks for looking!
Best wishes
