Blue Shadow Robots Spiral

Yesterday I showed one of these with fish HERE on it 

not remembering what they were called. They are 

spirals. After seeing the comments on the forum   about 

the fish one it got me thinking and here is another I made

using Bluerobots

P.S. those who would like yesteday's Fish make the cut file

I shared it on the forum 

Spring thing SOMETHING IS FISHY

This weeks  Make the Cut webinar we were shown how to make the spring things (can not remember what they were called)
So I thought i would show you what i made putting my own spin on it .

FIRSTLY This is a gate which inspired it .
We took a photo of it as Neal and I both thought it was a good theme for a card.

and here it is

Designed in Make the CUT and Inkscape. 

Then cut on the zing 

I am off to  explore some more.

Week 18 An adventure to learn more

Week 18 adventure with the ZING  is not really an adventure this week. After spending the past 9 years learning and getting to know the workings of inkscape. Thinking that I would not need to learn  Make the cut  BOY was I wrong .

If you follow my blog entries you might remember a few weeks back I mentioned that I had Whooping cough. Well this past week i have gotten so sick of hearing myself cough that i have not wanted to do much else but sit and  watch youtubes . So after being on the Make the Cut forum and discovering that Bryan, Julie and Andy have a wonderful weekly webinars . Where they go into great details on the in's and out's of using  the make the cut software always willing to help anyone who needs help or has questions . I have watched sooo many of the back episodes of them and going to the live taping the past two weeks.

What i have discovered is that both inkscape and Make the cut   do work good together, having tweaked a pdf file the other day in inkscape and took into make the cut and one button push it was ready to cut with less work than i would have had to do in inkscape alone.
(have not cut this out yet but i will show you soon as I have )

As well as you might have noticed that over the past two weeks i have also done two quick lessons on make the cut (reason being is it make the cut also works in a similar way as inkscape and I wanted to show that you can make them in make the cut easily too ). HERE and HERE
So even though that "OFF" button has been pushed on my Zing for a lot of the week (other than making the heat vinyl for windcheater and the postage card. I have still been in "ZING mode" only just learning the best way to get more out of it. Stay tuned for bigger and better things to come.

I am off to COUGH explore some more.

WHOoves and my adventure week 17 with the ZING

Week 17 of my Zing adventure

This week was a mixed bunch of things due 

to making lots of things  for a 21st birthday 

present.

( I learned lots about  ponies this week)

This pony was one that i learned lots about 

He is Dr WHOoves 

Found a clip art on the net and used inkscape to 

turn into a cut file and mtc and Zing to cut 

using my FAVORITE font at the moment 

called YIKES

Knowing that part of her present I wanted to 

give her 21 coins (5 cent coins ) I made 

a little 3D box with a triangle holder 

for the coins . The dr whooves in on both sides

of the box 

While watching one of the Make the Cut 

webinars I seen that someone had made a 

box using a mickey mouse head and 

turned it into a shaped box. So i thought I 

would give it a try  using the Dr Whooves 

UGG i should not have tried it as it was not 

easy to do BUT was soo happy with how it 

turned out 

Surfing the net to see who this pony was 

I came across this pattern for a 3D pony that you print 

and cut and put together HERE  But i wanted 

it to be all cut out in coloured card stock so I tweaked 

it in inkscape making it into a cut file  and then took

to make the cut and cut out

(oh and it fit in the box that i made too )

To keep the theme going I brought a Tshirt and 

used heat transfer vinyl and made a tshirt for her

Then I used the glass etching cream and did a 

glass for her. This is not perfect as it was only 

my 2nd ever attempt at playing with it 

But soo happy with the result

Thinking that was going to be it I then was playing in 

inkscape and thought oh a hoody jacket would look 

great so i designed it and seen how it would look

 Below is a picture from inkscape

Sadly i could not buy a hoody in a suitable colour and

size but I did manage to get a windcheater  the colour 

and size. so i inkscaped and redesigned the idea

picture below from inkscape .

Then i took the parts from inkscape and cut in 

make the cut and the Zing.

AND here is the result

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY Rachel 

Here she is less than a few minutes after 

opening her presents from me 

She loved them all so much 

It was a big week for Zing I sure did make 

it work hard.  Need lots more practise with 

the vinyl and etching cream.

But soo happy how everything turned out 

and Rachel sure was happy too 

(she is both the ponies and Dr who fan)

The ZING is here to stay!!

I am off to COUGH explore some more.
