Alora Layered Butterfly 'Carousel' Box Card Tutorial

Hi and welcome to Bronwyn Eastley Designs; Happy New Year to my lovely blog subscribers and visitors; may 2025 be a 'crafty' one for you!

I'm starting off the year by sharing an idea that was swirling around in my head for a few days; yesterday I took a break from re-organising my craft room and sat down to try and see if I could turn that idea into reality.

I kinda just made things up as I went along as the initial idea didn't quite pan out, however, I'm very pleased with the end result. It turned out better than I had envisioned, so much so that I decided to re-do some steps to photograph and ended up with a 7 page tutorial that I hadn't planned on writing!


I'm calling this card design a Carousel Box Card and it's made with the Alora Layering Butterfly Dies, Blossom Branch Die and Butterfly Bliss 6x6 Paper Collection from Paper Rose Studio.

This design can be easily adapted so you can make it with similar dies and different paper collections - in fact I have another one in the pipe-line that I'll share with you very soon.
I added some craft magnets to 'lock' the tips of the wings together (entirely optional) and the card does fold down to fit inside a C6 Envelope, albeit a tad bulky; it will need extra 'packaging' if posting.

Thank you so much for stopping by. If you'd like to purchase the instructions for my Alora Layered Butterfly 'Carousel' Box Card Tutorial, you can find it as part of a TUTORIAL BUNDLE, HERE - https://bronwyneastleydesigns.blogspot.com/p/papercraft-tutorials.html

A Gatefold Card with a Butterfly Easel and Pocket for the May Funky Folds Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to the May 2025 Funky Folds Blog Hop. This is the first 'new' blog post that I've published since starting this blog, Bronwyn Eastley Designs .  My AddINKtive Designs website will be closing at the end of June as the costs are ridiculously expensive to maintain. Nowadays I give away more tutorials than I sell ... which I'm more than happy to do. I'd rather start afresh and not feel like I have to keep on selling tutorials just to keep my website going. I love being on the Design Team for Paper Rose Studio and I'll be focusing more on sharing my projects on You Tube and INSTA ... and here of course!  So today marks the beginning of a new era. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. The Funky Folds group consists of like minded paper crafters who love to make projects with fun folds. Funky actually means "modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way"... so we are featuring cards that are not your usual rectangle/square po...

Vintage Rose Camera Box Card with Slider

Hi and welcome to my blog. Today I have a cute, interactive card to share with you; it's a Camera Box Card with Slider . I designed this type of 3D card a few years ago for my daughter's birthday and thought it would be fun to make it again using some gorgeous products from Paper Rose Studio . My first Design Team Assignment for June was to highlight the Vintage Rose Collection and it was actually the camera image from the packet of embossed die-cuts that became the inspiration for this project. The main camera shape was created using an Envelope Punch Board and embellished using the pretty papers from the Vintage Rose 6x6 Paper Collection . The images on the film strip slider section were die-cut from the packet cover! ... ... and the box card was filled with beautiful images from the packet of Vintage Rose Embossed Die-Cuts . I chose some metal cutting dies that would work well for the camera lens, button and slider and finished the project by adding a sentiment from the Blac...
