2 Note: All miscellaneous supplies can be found through Amazon.com Assembly Instructions: 1. Cut the Pear Pizzazz card base to 5 1/2 x 8. Score at 4 1/4, fold and burnish with bone folder. The short side goes to the front. 2. Create the vertical greeting on a piece of 5 1/2 x 1 Whisper White. The greeting in the sample was created in Microsoft Word using DS Digital free font in Basic Gray; or use stamps of your choice. Keep the greeting to the right 1/2 of the card stock. On the reverse, the sample has a gear border running from top to bottom. This border is shared on the template. 3. With the Whisper White greeting panel facing up, apply snail adhesive at the very left edge top to bottom. Open the Pear Pizzazz card base and line align the greeting face up to the right side of the card with the adhesive facing up. Close the front of the card on the panel for perfect placement. 4. Create the sentiment on a piece of 5 1/4 x 4 Whisper White. The sentiment uses the same font which is layered over a semi-transparent image of gears created in Silhouette Studio. A template has been provided with this tutorial. 5. Cut the Poppy Parade mat to 5 3/8 x 3 5/8, emboss with the Chevron Embossing Folder and attach to the card front. 6. Using the template provided cut the three gears from Basic Gray card stock. A Silhouette cut file is also available. 7. Stamp the robot image on Whisper White in Basic Gray. Using the Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade and Tempting Turquoise, accent the buttons as desired. Using the Silver Dazzle Marker, highlight here and there, as desired. 8. The image in the sample has been centered in a 2 5/8 circle. You can use the 2 3/4 Circle Framelit, #6 counting from the inside out. Adhere the image with snail adhesive to the largest gear and attach to the card front, referring to the image for placement. 9. Also using the 2 3/4 Circle Framelit, cut the Window Sheet and set aside for later use. 10. Cut a 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 mat from Tempting Turquoise. From the scrap cut a ring using the 2 3/8 and

3 the 2 3/4 (# 5 & #6). While you have these two Circle Framelits, cut four rings which will serve as spacers. Note: The shaker frame doesn t provide sufficient space for the contents of the shaker, so the spacers provide that. If you want to use just the spacers, cut 8 rings. As an alternative, you could use two layers of Mounting Tape. 11. Glue the spacer rings together using Glossy Accents or Tombow and center over the robot image. If you used Mounting Tape cut into thin strips and run around the perimeter, dust the sides with embossing powder to eliminate the tackiness 12. Place the items you want to include in your shaker inside the ring, flatten them out and keep them well away from the sides. 13. Apply Glossy Accents or Tombow Adhesive to the top of the spacer ring and center the round Window Sheet on top. Set piece aside and allow to dry. Add some weight on top to ensure a good strong seal; an acrylic block would work perfectly. 14. Once dry, attach Tempting Turquoise ring, centered over the Window Sheet. 15. Attach the medium gear with dimensionals and then the smallest gear with snail, again referring to image for placement. 16. Using Microsoft Word, create a 5 1/4 x 4 panel with the sentiment in Basic Gray over the silhouette of gears (shared on template) or use a stamp you desire. Place over a 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 of Tempting Turquoise and attach inside the card. 17. Stamp your envelope with the gears from the Sense of Time stamp set, if you have it. 18. Enjoy your card! More kits are available while supplies last. Note: A Silhouette Studio Designer Edition cut file is available. Want to take this card up a notch? Try one of these ideas: Stamp the robot in the Metallic Encore Ink Silver rather than the Basic Gray Or stamp it with VersaMark and heat emboss it with Silver Embossing Powder Tips with this project: Scan your stamped images and use them with your e-cutter.
