I have two projects to show you today using this rubber stamp. The first is a card with a feminine touch. Something a man would give to the special lady in his life. Robot Heart is colored with Copics then layered with Nestabilities dies. The background paper is from the Basic Grey Bittersweet collection. Isn't that paper just dreamy?? To stay with the gray robot theme and to pull out some of the gray in the paper, I decided to cut Nestabilitie flowers out of metallic silver cardstock and add a little bling with a glittery pink brad in the center. The sentiment is computer generated.
Copics Used: B21, B34, R46, C3, W1, W5, atYou Spica Red
My second project for Robot Heart is on the masculine side. I decided to do a mini pizza box as the box is just the right size for gift cards for boys and men alike. The embossed foil background technique was on my list of "to do's", so this was the perfect opportunity to try it as well! The box is made with Bazzil Great Lakes paper. It is the most beautiful shade of blue! So...Robot Heart is colored with Copics in blue tones and cut out. The sentiment is computer generated and cut out with a Nestabilitie. Kaiser pewter pearls were added to the corners and the sentiment for a little more "metal" effect. The rivets on the heart are done with a silver metallic pen. Add a brad to the front with another pewter pearl in the middle and it's finished!
The two pictures below show the box in the making. You can find the instructions for the mini pizza box on Splitcoaststampers here.
The embossed foil background is fairly easy. Use "heavy duty" aluminum foil. For this project I used the Cuttlebug "Traffic" embossing folder. In the picture you will see another piece using the "Swirls" folder. The white frame is cut out using stacked square Nestabilities. Adhere to the top of the embossed foil being careful not to press out any of the foil image. Place on the top of the box. Add the cut out Robot and sentiment and your done!

great cards, Peggy! The 'bots are neat looking.
Oh my goodness, these robot cards are adorable. And I love how you embossed the foil - it's a very cool look.
Your foil technique is so cool and looks so perfect on the project. My son wants a robot cake for his birthday next week and I think this would be the perfect card to go with it. Thanks fo rthe great inspiration!
