Kaleidoscope Card

I recently gave a class at Bizzy B's making mechanical paper doll cards.  I seem to always overestimate how much we can achieve in the time allotted.  So as a way to provide the class and the how to's I've made a video. This is done in three parts and at the end of the blog will be my complete written instructions with a complete supply list.
