Friday Die Day

Hello friends
 
Today's Friday Die Day is a little different for me,
it features one of the new dies by Spellbinders designer Seth Apter -
Robo Star.  Seth has brought an entire line of dies that fall within
the mixed media category - you can see his style and projects
on his blog The Altered Page.
 
The Robo Star set consists of three dies.
 

This is how they look cut/embossed.
I've used a mix of kraft, brown and black cardstock.


I liked the negative from the largest star so backed that with some red
spotty paper and mounted it onto black cardstock.


Flicked some drops of silver - this is my attempt at being messy!

 
I then attached the large star at an angle and tied a charm with black twine.
 

 
Attached the further stars and affixed to the front of a kraft bag.
Added a couple of silver stars too.
 
 
These are perfect dies for projects and cards for men.


These dies are available to pre-order arriving very soon,
there are many designs including Splatter Proof
 
Drip Drop
 
 

 
I'm off to Bury St Edmunds tomorrow - Keep on Crafting
to teach a Seth Apter workshop - photos to follow.
Take care friends and have a lovely weekend.

    Hi Christine
    I have been looking at these dies in your shop wondering how you would use them ? , i don't think my imagination will go very far with them to be honest, however i do like your projects and i am sure others will love these dies like Kitty above .
    Have a lovely time in Bury and wrap up warm.

    Hello Christine
    I suppose every shape has its place, but these are not sitting comfortably in mine. I do try with new things but I just can't this time.... even though your work is lovely!
    Take care
    Love Marg

    Hi Christine
    I'm with Kitty on this one. I absolutely love the Robo Stat set and love what you have done with them. I'm hoping we can play with them tomorrow, really looking to my first ever crafting class and to seeing you tomorrow.

    Morning Christine, This bag looks fabulous, these dies are indeed ideal for men or teenage boys. I also love the 'splatter' and the 'drip drop' reminds me of a Dreamcatcher !!
    Have a good demo day.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

    Hi Christine, The way you've used the positive and negative on your card looks great a long with your addition of silver splatters! When all put together is very effective. x

    Hello Christine
    Brilliant FDD. This would be perfect for a man's card. I do like the look of these dies but wasn't quite sure if I would use them but you bag has given me some inspiration.
    Have a safe trip to Bury St Edmunds, such a beautiful city.
    Take care
    Lesley
