Good Morning everyone.
Today im sharing the card i made for my brothers birthday. I made my first twist and pop design and went with a DIY & robot theme as his hobby is metal work, creating amazing things out of scrap metals.
Approx size 6x5" Using a template from pinterest which took me to this crafters blog and a very easy step by step twist&pop
I made the twist and pop mechanism from 300gsm white card and then the cardbase. I then dug out some old papers with a metal plate design and trimmed to the size of the panels and attached. I then glued the twist and pop panel into the cardbase and covered those panels with the black nuts and bolts paper.
For the front of the card i die cut the sentiment and tools from white card and coloured with orange and blue alcohol markers, i also die cut the tools from silver mirror card, i cut off the coloured handles and glued onto the silver ones. I added the sentiment to a white circle and mounted them all on the card front.
I die cut the robots from white card and coloured with alcohol markers, grey for the bodies and a mix of blue and orange for their arms/legs etc. I backed them with silver mirror card which shines through their eyes etc. I attached these to the pop out sections.
I did also add a die cut oval panel to the bottom to write the greeting on but forgot to take a photo after that.
A close up on the robots.
For my first attempt with the twist and pop i was very happy with the outcome and i know my brother will be intrigued how it works - who ever created this first must have an amazing mind!
Thank you all for stopping by once again. Stay safe everyone. Hugs Emmax
