Something Else on Saturday Challenge #113 Featuring Bake Off from Clearly Besotted

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday challenge post. This week I have attempted to use another of my interactive die sets, but boy was this one a challenge! 

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!

This is the card with the magic iris closed...
