Friendly Robot Corner Pop Up card

I enjoyed making the dinosaur pop up card so much that I decided to make another one - this time for my little Great Niece.

The robots seem to be heading out of the card to join the party

Perhaps robots may seem like an odd choice for a little girl but I'm hoping she has inherited her mother's love of robots as well as cats - mainly because I didn't have any suitable cat images!

I've tried to make the card a bit interactive: she and her mother can do a lot of counting (robots, hearts, hearts attached to robots), they can look for colours (red, green and yellow and each robot has different coloured eyes) and they can make up a story about where the robots are going.

They're very friendly robots who are thinking loving thoughts - maybe not so robotic?!

The card is made from Melon Mambo cardstock and I used the same method that I learned from Dawn Griffith's video tutorial.   I decorated it with Go Wild and It's My Party Designer Series Paper (a gift from my wonderful upline, Kylie Bertucci, when I advanced to Silver - thank you again, Kylie!)

The robots are well hidden until the card is quite open

I stamped the robots from the Boys Will Be Boys set in Basic Black ink onto Smoky Slate card, then coloured them with Stampin' Write Markers and gave them a coat of Clear Wink of Stella.

I cut the numbers with the Large Numbers Framelits and punched the hearts with one of the Itty Bitty Accents punches.

The front of the card gives no clues about the surprise inside

Thank you for your visit.

She also has a great video tutorial for this fun-fold.
Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with our Special Guest stamper, Dawn Griffith - we are thrilled to have Dawn join us this month and so excited to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by Dawn.  We hope you find great inspiration from the projects.
Whether you are starting the blog hop here at my blog, Stephanie Fischer - The Crafty Thinker, or have come from the person before me, be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop.

I chose to CASE this Pop Up Corner card by Dawn but have put a rather different spin on it. 
The front of the card, specifically the belly band, gives a bit of a clue about what's inside

When my son was young and fascinated by Dinosaurs, we used to play a computer game together (back in the day of the floppy disk!) where we went looking for dinosaurs in various eras to take a photo of them.  It was so much fun!  It's no surprise, then, that I love the No Bones About It stamp set!  Since its introduction I've enjoyed creating many little dino-scenes but I think I like this one the best.
The dimensionality of the card, makes it quite hard to photograph!

When my son (now 23 years old!) saw the inside of this card, he just loved it!  He said he'd love to be 7 or 8 years old again because it would be the ultimate birthday card!  High praise!
Can you spot the danger lurking?

There seems to have been a migration down from the mountains!  The Triceratops couple and the Stegosaurus seem blissfully ignorant of the lurking danger!
The Tyrannosaurus seems to have his eye on the Brachiosaurus

Thank you for visiting my Jurassic world today!
