Instructions
To begin I stamped a number of robots using the Hunkydory For the Love of Stamps Misfit Robots (https://www.hunkydorycrafts.co.uk/ftls357-for-the-love-of-stamps-misfit-robots.html )
and coloured them with Spectrum Noir Tri-blend markers which I purchased from Crafters Companion (https://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/brands/spectrum-noir/triblend-markers.html)
Making the Card
Trim a piece of A4 Card stock to 7 1/4 inch by 11 5/8 inch
Score at 2 3/4 Inch, 5 1/2 Inch, 8 1/4 Inch and 11 Inch
Score the length of the paper at 3 Inches down the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th columns. (See the dotted green line on the diagram below)
Cut down to the 3 inch score line, down the 5 original score lines (see diagram below)
On the shortest Column trim off the edge to make a tab
Stick the glitter card to the column that you are not scored
And using double sided tape stick the tab to the inside edge of the 1st coloum
This gives you the basis for the card. You can decorate the folded down tabs using the 2.5 inch by 2.5 inch patterned paper
You now need to make 2 panels to go inside to secure your decorations. For this I used 2 pieces of card the same colour as the box. These messured 3 3/4 Inch by 3/4 Inch and were scored at 1/2 Inch and 3 1/4 Inch. Using wet glue these were then secured into the box
I decorated the box using a few of my stamped out robots and then used a hot glue gun to attach the final 2 robots to the acatate to make them stand up higher
Using a bunting die and my big shot machine, I cut a piece of paper bunting attaching it in the same way as the robots
A stamped sentiment and 2 small silver peg embellishments are the finishing touches needed
