Photos of my Printed Pictures

I've signed up for a photo lighting induction but that's not until the 19th January, which is after our submission for 504 (17th). I have had a photo lighting induction before and I have a Nikon DSLR camera so I decided to have a go at taking them at home.
I have a set of Zennox mini studio lights and I brought home a few sheets of A2 white card for a backdrop.

I reckon I did a good job with what I had at hand, but the white backdrop washed out the white card of the 'cut-out' sheets. I should have used another colour for this, but I wanted the photos to look professional and clean, thinking any other colour would look tacky or dark.
I need to refresh myself on how to enhance photos on Photoshop since I have got a bit lazy with editing and often rely on editing sites like Befunky, which reduces the quality.

I am really happy with how the house looks in photos, you can tell that it is a fold-out book, that it isn't a flat piece of card, and it demonstrates how the book works.
I also tried to take some photos of the cut-out dolls but they cast lots of shadows and kept falling over.
