You’re So Sweet - Quirky Sweet Dispenser Card

Cut a piece of white A4 card in half, align one piece with the pre-cut foam core and mark the small round opening in the foam core with a pencil.

Die-cut the machine without outer cutting edge so the large hole on the bottom of the machine lines up with the mark and back black cardstock.

Recut the opening in the bottom portion using the circle dies in the set, the opening for the tray using the U-shaped die (by reinserting it into the previous cut) and cut the opening in the top of the machine.

Die-cut the centre circle and affix it to the circular aperture in the machine, stamp a sentiment background around the edge of the white panel and add red die-cut sentiment as shown.

Secure the treat cup into the opening of the machine, adding tape all the way around the edge. Die-cut a red machine, using the outer cutting edge and layer it over the treat cup onto the panel.

Die-cut the tray from red cardstock, fold and assemble and insert the tab into aperture at the bottom of the machine. Once through, clip the corners so the edges and sides can be folded backwards and tape to the back of the panel.

Insert the MDF handle through the small hole on the front of the machine, then through the square hole on the turning disc and apply glue around square hole and allow to dry.

Mount two foam core pieces together and align with a white A5 piece of cardstock to the back.

Use a pencil to mark the top three sides and the outer curve and cut an opening along the top section marked on your card (this will allow you to refill).

Erase the pencil lines, adhere the cardstock to the foam and add candy until it is even with the top of your foam core.

Adhere the front panel and the backing together, ensuring that the turning mechanism isn’t impeded by tape and turn the handle on your mechanism so it closes off the candy opening before standing it upright. Tape white strips to the edges of the card to finish.
