3D Greek Vase sliceform from Some Assembly Required

Over the many years of doing papercrafts, one thing that I love is sliceforms and one company that I love now and always have is Some Assembly Required (SAR). They have a huge variety of  3D shapes , one of my first ever purchases was there egg shape and I used to have soo much fun making that simple egg shape into animals , which even inspired a book of egganimals   

Well now there latest creations are 3D Greek Vases (5 in total) , they are soo much fun as you will see in the days and weeks to come . Today I took there vase 01 and made this vase cutting vase out and then running through the cuttlebug to give it texture , BUT then to make it really pop I then got a sepia inkpad and wiped it over the top of the embossed area , then i put the vase together.

I am off to make some more things using these.

let me know what you think

ROBOT postage

Over the past two weeks  I did two lessons 

on my blog of  Postage stamps in make the cut

SINGLE HERE AND SHEET HERE

So I thought I would finally show a sample of 

what I would do with it. 

I used a lettering delights  Robot on them

and changed him to my own colour 

Designed in Make the CUT and cut on the zing 

(gears border made in inkscape)

I am off to  explore some more.

 If you live in Australia and New Zealand 

and wondering where you can get a KNK Zing 

SKAT KAT  is the place to find them

Lilac Lady Lovely Doll

Here is a lady doll I made with the 

I made using the Kusudama folding technique.

From a book called 

Creating Lovely Paper-Flower Dolls 

(Kusudama folding technique) 

I am loving this book and the folding , I do however 

change lots of things for my projects (like giving them hands

(cut using the cricut) and i make the heads skin colour and add 

wools (or cottons for hair).

To this one i added lots of purple diamonties

SNOW globes (flashing lights)

I brought some cheap christmas decorations that 

had flashing lights, pulled them apart to get the 

light out and made my own snowglobes 

using cricut and gypsy to design the globe .

Putting the snowflakes around the edge give a

good glow when the light is on 

These lights flash different colours

Here is a short video of them in the dark turned on

To watch over you

Here is a book I made for my friend

This time i used the angels I made

using the Kusudama folding technique

in vellum and put her in a 3D book/card

and to make it extra special I added a 

colour changing light in the bottom of the 

book

Who dresses in Green and Red at this time of year?

BOY and GIRL elf

Here are some more additions to my christmas

display this year 

Over the past couple of days i have shown 

some more mr and mrs claus and Angels angels  

I made

using the Kusudama folding technique

 

3D Book card Butterfles PLUS

The Butterfly book I showed on my blog the other day 

was a proto type, for this card/book 

I made this one for a good friend of mine 

Thing about this book card is I added a clock

mechanism

So the time and battery can be changed 

I added a hidden passage in the back cover

Love the ROBOTS Fathers day card

I made this style of  cards first back in the early 

1990's and it is always great to revisit old card ideas 

and give them a look of the 2011's.

This is the card I made to give my hubby for fathers day 

 Used scrapbook paper and scrapbook stickers to make this 

Here is the envelope 

 Folds flat to be posted

 Here it is opened and standing

 One side

 And other side

Here is a view from above

I have to say this card does look a lot better in

person it has glitter and demention

Would love to hear what you think.

Robot on my tin too Aluminum Tape is addictive

After making the robot card and seeing how that turned out.
I knew it would be just perfect for one of the tin cases like i covered
last week as i still had a few left undecorated .
Here is the result

managed to find a place
locally that sold it on line (Tapes on line)
