Not sure if you have tried the magic iris dies from Lawn Fawn, but they just did not want to play nicely at all. I must have spent about 2 hours trying to get the mechanism to work. I watched various different videos on You Tube and I was doing exactly what they showed, but it would just not turn at all. I tried removing the connector bits and using washi tape instead and various other things, but each time was the same.
I then changed the cardstock I was using from Stampin' Up card to this incredibly thin Ultimate Graphic paper and it worked better. Still took a bit of coaxing to get it to work though! And even now I have put the card together, it's not quite sitting correctly! Grrr! I will have to try again and see what I can do to make it work properly! If you have any useful tips, please do let me know!

Try watching the Jenniffer McGuire video, it definitely helped me get this to work and take lots of notes.
