RED Android

Have you seen the wonderful Android 3D robot 

that Robives has just shared with all 

I could not wait to make one for Neal  the other day 

I made mine in Red  and used  MAKE THE CUT and Zing to cut

Let me know what you think.

(I have taken of word thing too make this 

easier now)

I am off to  explore some more.

Robot popup

I Love Popup books and cards.

This popup card is inspired by something I seen 

on the net and i put my own spin on it .

Designed in MAKE THE CUT  and cut on the ZING.

The envelope is flat

What is inside

Just peaking over the edge (Hand there)

(hand gone Magicly no longer flat)

oh what popped out to say hello

This little robot

this was just a proto type  and needed 

lots of tweaking to get the pop up right

Let me know what you think.

Fathers day to the moon!

Fathers day in Australia was this past Sunday

While surfing the net last month I came accross  this wonderful Queen of hearts rocket and really liked the shape But wanted to cut and emboss it on my cutter so I got the pdf file and started 

Well it is not the sort of pdf that can be handled in Make the cut  so I nearly gave up then I decided that  I really wanted to make it so I then went to inkscape and hand traced the pieces and got it into something  that i could finally use in Make the cut (not a quick thing to do but I am happy I stuck with it )  and cut it on the zing and then ran through the cuttlebug

I added automobile pin striping on the rocket and chair .

Changed the queen to a BLUE ROBOT

The lid comes off

and there is a seat inside

Just fits the bluerobot

Snug in side to go to the moon

Kit robot Clock (now not a clock

A while a go I brought this Kit Robot 

and I have just recently put it together 

BUT THEN  As I am already being driven crazy

by the sounds of ticking clocks 

I turned it into a photo frame and 

put of picture of neal in it 

No longer a clock  better 

as a picture frame

A weeks adventure with the Zing (week 16)

Sitting down to write week 16's adventure story. I sit here wondering what i have been  up too. (besides all the pop lock robots i made  (shown during the week)). (and still not being  well with Whooping cough)

Well I spent a lot of the time watching videos  of how too's about the make the cut software. having working with inkscape for over 7 years  I never really  thought about learning mtc I thought I could do it all in inkscape and save as svg's .

But after watching I have learnt that they both work really well together and it was a good thing

that I am learning mtc now. I found that I had lots to watch and each one I have  watched has giving me a little more insight to it. One other thing I did do after last weeks  catchup is I relized that I had a book with  cd of patterns that the same person who made the  robot paterns i have been playing with over the past  few weeks. So i got it out and tweaked one of the patterns to be a cut file as well. Below is the result. I used the pen adapter and embossing adapter (to score) and then cut. Adding a bit of colour here and there  to give a special look.

Now even though it was not as easy as getting the pattern putting in MTC  and cutting on the Zing.  I did have to take it into  inkscape and tweak it to work with MTC .

BUT IT WAS ALL WORTH IT

Here is my take on Josh's robot

HERE

 

The time spent setting it all up in inkscape was 

well worth the effort  coming up with three files

a draw file, score file and then cut file made 

my life soo much easier when it came to putting 

the model together .

TIP

Don't be scared to patterns to cut on your Zing as it is well worth 

the time spent tweaking it will open up a whole new

world for your Zinging

The ZING is here to stay!!

I am off to COUGH explore some more.

Poplocks (part 5 of my take on them)

The past 4 days I have been showing the 

Poplocks and my take on them  

Part 1 , Part 2

,Part 3 and part 4

If you have not guessed I did have some 

fun with these and they are soo much fun 

here i am again today to  show another.

I used not only the 

Zing and the embossing tool and I 

also used the pen holder tool . 

then afterwards I added the colour with 

my copic markers by hand

these great 

robot things from PaperPoseables 

Josh released these Poplocks Super Combiners

That you can interchange and make great things.

With the poplocks that are used to connect 

them together there is no need to glue 

easy put together and easy pulled apart.

Poseable too.

Tweeked in inkscape and cut on the Zing

 (Although it does not come cutter ready

they are soo much fun it is worth tweaking)

I put into inkscape and tweaked it to turn 

into something that would cut on my Zing 

(though it was a little bit of work it was well 

worth the effort) 

Here is my test one

 THEN

Because they are so easy put together and taken apart 

I took apart and added some chalk inkpad to the edges of each piece 

an eye and rhinestones to give him some life
