I tried 4 different Jack-in-the-box ideas and finally made it work! This mini fabric sample swatch is still on it's card board backing so I covered the info with white and then balloon Washi tapes. Used glittered ep on the top edge. I cut the little crank. The fabric lifts up to reveal the word "SURPRISE"! The other images were heat embossed. Colored his scarf with Copic and Souffle pen for dots.He's on a spring loaded wobble so his head shakes.

OMG! I love this! How cool is that "celebrate" as a spring! And way to put the clown on a wobble. PLUS, a "surprise" when you lift the fabric. This sure brought out the kid in me, my friend!

wonderful, wonderful, Lori! what a great idea! i had a jack in the box as a kid, it scared me every time it popped up, even though i knew it would. maybe that's why i'm a bit scared of clowns. my favorite jack is on the one on the Rudolph Christmas special, except he's a Charlie in the Box.
