🎠 Anna Griffin Carousel Pulley Card | Let’s Craft Together!

Ready to add a touch of magic to your card making? In my latest YouTube video, I’m sharing a step-by-step tutorial for creating a Carousel Pulley Card using Anna Griffin’s gorgeous materials—and the best part? We craft it together!

This interactive design is not only whimsical and elegant, it’s also incredibly fun to assemble. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just getting started with Anna Griffin dies and embellishments, this pulley card is the perfect project to stretch your creativity and enjoy the process.

In the video, I guide you through:

  • Cutting and assembling the carousel base

  • Engineering the pulley mechanism for a smooth interactive effect

  • Layering embellishments and choosing decorative details

  • Tips for keeping your card balanced and functional

  • How to personalize your carousel card for birthdays, baby showers, and more!


🧰 What You’ll Need:

  • Anna Griffin Carousel Die Set

  • Pulley card mechanism or template (handmade or pre-cut)

  • Empress Die Cutting Machine (or your preferred die cutter)

  • Heavyweight cardstock

  • Patterned paper, foil, or glitter accents

  • Foam tape and strong adhesive

  • Embellishments: florals, sentiments, ribbon, or themed pieces


🎡 Why You’ll Love This Project:

The Carousel Pulley Card is a show-stopper that combines beautiful layers with clever motion. It's perfect for:

  • Special occasion keepsakes

  • Children’s card (add a magical or Disney twist!)

  • Baby announcements or showers

  • Craft fair displays and handmade gifts

And it folds flat for mailing—bonus!


💡 Helpful Tips From the Video:

  • Use strong adhesive to secure the pulley base—this part needs to hold!

  • Layer with low-profile foam to keep movement smooth

  • Choose embellishments that won’t obstruct the pulley mechanism

  • Test the sliding motion before gluing your final elements

  • Make it your own with themed toppers (think: princesses, animals, or vintage style)
