2017 Graduation Box Card

Made this generic graduation card for a friend.  Since I was not aware of the school colors, I stuck to using basic Black, White, Grey and Silver colors. A box card was the perfect way to present a congratulatory message.

Robot Friend Birthday Surprise

Guy birthdays always present a little challenge. A while back, I found this cute printed paper Robot to make for a friend.  Using masculine colors for the gift bag and card worked out great.

Robot (photo of the robot further down in this post) is a printable from Rommy found here. There are several other designs in this site. The designs are free downloads with easy clear assembly instructions.  All that is needed are patience, scissors, and wet adhesive.

Stampin-Up On Your Birthday (retired) Stamp Set and Stampin-Up Small Scallop Punch used for both the bag and gift card holder. Card stock is Authentic Loyal Collection Durable Designer Paper

Here's the small bag made to fit the Robot.  White satin ribbon worked out well for the handles.

Remove the tissue carefully:

to reveal a new friend (glasses were added to the robot): Note this robot co-ordinates with the paper used for the bag and gift card. OMG - he is adorable!

When this robot is sitting on a desk, he is looking up with those big eyes!

Back:

Hope you will try making one of these robots. Have a crafty day.
