WOYWW 73 - Robo Cop

'Fraid I've tidied up my desk again, ladies so I wont even bother taking a dodgy photo of it (where did all the daylight go?!) instead I'll move straight on to singing the praises of my lovely Robo Cop - my new best friend(sorry Stace!) Doone asked last time what was wrong with a pair of scissors and I did leave a comment on her blog explaining that I am actually lethal with any kind of cutting implement. I stabbed my actual best friend, Stace, in the head with a pair when we were kids - I was mortified n she thought it hilarious so it obv didn't hurt!


The first thing I made was the poinsetta wreath, from a design in Papercraft Inspirations, the material I used was probly a lil too thick n it was a complete cow to glue down so the card has got all warped but for a first attempt its not so bad! The inspiration from the other one came from a bout of blog surfing (theres gotta b a hip word for that?!) where I saw a wreath made from autumn leaves n the thought popped into my head "That'd work with snowflakes too" so I played about with snowflake designs in the ROBO master software (the 'get outline' feature is fantastic, better than equivalent features I've used in the past), cut a ton out and had my first experience with getting glossy accents all over my hands! Serious stuff int it?! I had to colour the buttons with a promarker cos I knew I wanted red so I coloured the peel off too!

Has anybody put double sided self adhesive sheets through a die cutter like mine? I'm a little nervous that it might gunge up the blade?

To bow and scrape at the feet of our illustrious leader, click on the WOYWW on the sidebar! Enjoy!

  12. What a brilliant idea to use snowflakes to make up the wreath - cool! My favourite is the pink & green one on the left, just so you know!

    I only have the old skool turny handle type die cutters, so I'm afraid I can't answer your question about the double sided stuff.

    Oh and yes, I would have been quite mental to have stuck that many brads around the edges of a card!

  16. I'm computer incompetent so don't have a robo so can't help about the adhesive sheet....but I use it in my Cricut now and then..and clean the blade carefully after though...it's ok at the mo! As for surfing blogs.....how about making up a name -how about 'blurfing'...it made me laugh anyway!!
