Creative Stamping Issue 43

Here is my mascular cards using the Stamps.  I also used the X-Cut-A6-Universal-Tri-Boss-Folder Cronology - Cogs, Just for Men decorative metal dies- Cogs and gears from the signature collection by Sara Davies and the little robot is from Aliexpress.

These Robot Dies only cost £3.67 including post and packaging but you have to be patient as it can take up to 30 days to deliver.

You can get some inspiration from this Youtube Video by Christina Griffiths from http://www.card-making-magic.com or http://flowersribbonsandpearls.blogspot.co.uk as well and do not forget to check out the Papercraft Magazines Facebook pages for inspiration from other readers.

The Top Pick for last week's challenge

So I can not believe it but I won the Twisted Thursday Challenge at The Outlawz for last week with this card:

My first Challenge win, hooray.

"Berry" Best Friends.

I hope you like my card using the Life is Sweet Corner Die & Stamp set. I die cut the corner die 6 times and coloured it using my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers (CT3, AG1, AG2 and DP3).  I also used as small flower punch I had in my craft stash for the flowers and after shaping the strawberries slightly covered the top strawberry with Crystal Effects. For the butterfly, I created a basic shape out of vellum and then used a Xcut die for the main body before using to corner die cuts for the wings.  It took a little longer than usual because of all the detail but I am very happy with the result.

I used to get stuck on this type of die, as I did not realise that you could simply cut it out of white card and colour it.  I also though you can only use it the way it is, I have to admit I really enjoyed thinking out of the box this time.
