This card folds flat for the mail and then pops up to reveal a simulated technological wonder!
The box die is from Lawn Fawn and incredible useful. It cuts the rectangles for the box flaps as well. I used a computer chip stencil from my stash since the theme was robots.
The robot stamps are"mini bots" from Clearly Besotted. They just made an add-on to this stamp set, featuring baby/plushies, called "robot plushies", so I will also be using down the road. These cats are the best and fun to color. I also used an embossing folder to make the gray paper look like metal. You can adjust the flaps, I wanted to show the other side, so I kind of flipped it up, but you can put them at 90 degrees or completed flat once you open up the box. I personally leave the back piece flat and do not crease that side, so it provides a backdrop. The sentiment says "awesome people make awesome babies", which I thought was fitting for my robot loving friends.
My favorite part? The poo-bolts under the baby.. did you notice?
Thanks for stopping by!
