Hello there, I hope you are well. Back in August, Spellbinders released a collection called Cuckoo Cottage which as the name suggests, features a cuckoo clock. There are also sets that you can use with the clock to add seasonal touches - there is a Halloween one, a Christmas one, plus an autumnal set too. As well as a sentiment set.
Today I have two cards to share - one using the main cuckoo clock, and one using the Christmas set. Tomorrow I will share the autumnal one!

I assembled the main part of the clock first, followed by the clock face and cuckoo part. I then adhered the chimes behind the clock using the card base as a guide for length. I created these with A2 sized (4.25" x 5.5") card bases but if you used larger cards you would get a better effect with the chimes. You can also make the pendulum swing from side to side which is fun!
The set also includes the trees, which I cut from Spellbinders
Peridot and
Classic White ColorWheel Cardstock (and the stumps from
Truffle), and the deer, which I cut from Spellbinders
Fawn,
Truffle and
Poppy ColorWheel Cardstock. The clock was assembled like the first card, using Bearly Art Glue and adhered to the card base with thin foam tape.

These clocks were fun to make, the first one took a little while to understand how the pieces went together but the subsequent ones came together really quickly! I will be back tomorrow to share my autumnal one. Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a great day!
