Ele Baby Card Tutorial

You can find the KIT version HERE
and the Ready to Print version HERE

Here are my printed worksheets plus 1 metre of ribbon & a small strip of ribbon,

you'll also need a piece of card measuring 18cm x 9.5cm

With the short edge up against the butt bar score

1cm then 1.5cm then 9.5cm and then 10cm

Turn the piece of card so the long edge is now against the butt bar and score

at 1cm then 1.5cm 

Cut away the score lines on the side that doesn't have any score lines

on the short edge (take a look at the pic above)

Cut out the square in the left hand corner,

 then cut at an angle each edge as shown above, this creates a mitred corner

when the box is made up

Attach some DST the the outer flaps, measure down from the inner fold line

1cm and central and cut a slit, this is for the ribbon later.

Attach a small strip of DST leading down from the slit but don't make it too long, approx 2cm would be good

Now for the circles on the ribbon, cut a slit about 1cm down from the top of the circles and

central. Make sure the slit is wide enough to take your ribbon

again attach a strip of DST running down from the slit, again approx 1cm in length

(if you put too long a piece of DST the ribbon will not be able to fold up)

Starting with the first circle (which will be the top one and in this instance it is the letter B)

thread the ribbon from the back through the slit and pull through the ribbon giving you approx.

12cm of ribbon as you'll be using that to attach it to the box later,

stick the ribbon down onto the the DST strip.

Continue to thread each circle in the same way making sure that the bottom of the

previous circle covers the slits.

The above pic is how it should look once you've thread the 4 circles 

and this is it from the front.

To attach it to the box, thread the ribbon through the slit in the box

as sown above

leaving a gap of approx. 1.5cm from the base of the box to the top of the

first cirle, fold over the ribbon and secure

Fold the box flaps neatly, release the DST on the 2 box flaps and fold the

other side over and secure

like this

and this is what it should look like from the front now.

This is my base 8 x 8 card I've printed direct too, pierce a hole

all the way through from front to back and thread the small piece of ribbon through and secure at each end

I've cut out my next layer, added DS foam tape to the back to help raise it and stuck

it down

I cut out the sentiment using my Spellbinders dies and attach it on the back

to hide the hole with the piece of ribbon

I've smeared UHU glue on the back of my box and attached it to my card

then mounted the elephant on top, cut out the circle sentiment and

placed it coming out of the trunk

To fold up the circles simply concertina them as shown above 

slide them into the box

A quick note here: you need 4 circles for the circles to stay inside the box, anything less

and they start to fall down

and here it is

and here's what it looks like when you pull the ribbon tab
