Welcome to the Royal Blog Tour
I get to showcase a fun new set in Stampin Up's Fall and Winter Idea book and catalog called Lots of Bots (115293). Having boys, I love any set I can use with them, but this set is versatile. Just by changing the color scheme it could be easily used for girls too!
I was inspired by July's issue of Stampin Success showcasing 3-D items. I made two diorama cards featuring some new in colors crushed curry and soft suede.
This card also uses going my way punch and new modern label punch.
What is great about these cards is they fold up to go in a regular medium size envelope.
But wait, I have more to show you- robots scream metal to me, so I played around with 2 techniques.
In this sample, I used "faux embossed metal". I stamped the image in stazon on a tin foil pan and then used a ball point pen to trace image, then flipped it over and attached with brads.
This set is so versatile to use, I used faux metal technique for next card...
You can see by the use of "Afternoon teaparty" DSP, simply by changing color scheme it can be for girls too!
I used my brads container and paper piercer for the circular shape.
Blog candy!!!! simply leave you name, email address and number post in comment section. Become a follower to my blog and I will give you an extra chance to win!
You can win this great set- lots of Bots!!! Winner will be announced on 7/31.
