Cricut Robotz #48

Yes, I've gone crazy making these little friends of mine! This is #48!

Cricut Robotz # 46 3-D Silly & Styling!

I've truly found a new love with these Lil 3-D Robotz! The possibilities are endless! This cute lil Robotz #46  "Giftables"  has a "hatch"/door that opens already so it was easy peasy on this one!. But again, I had to alter the "tube" that goes thru to hold it together so you can put stuff inside!

Here is My Robotz #46

Opened Lil "hatch" View




Instructions, I made awhile ago in a PDF file to Assemble the Robotz Download HERE


I used CTMH Colonial White Card stock for the main body. CTMH Dutch Blue CS for accent peices. American Crafts Polk -dot paper, Google Eyes for the eyes and Red "skittles" on the antenaes. Striped glitter ribbon and red w/white stitching ribbon, CTMH Photo hanger and red brad. Inked all the edges in "cranberry" ink.

Robotz Cricut Cartridge # 49 (Another 3-D One)


I can't tell you enough how much I LOVE This cartridge!!  On this little guy to make the "hatch"/Door, I simply didn't adhere the bottom part of the middle peice and used a photo hanger for a "latch" and added an extra brad underneath to "latch it closed" again,  I had to alter the "tube" that goes thru to hold it together so you can put stuff inside!

American crafts polk-dot paper. CTMH velvet Red ribbon, black satin ribbon, Green "skittles", CTMH Photo hanger and red brad. Inked all the edges in "cranberry" ink.

Critcut Robotz #50 (3-D one)

I so LOVE my Cricut Robotz cartridge!! I made some more yesterday when i had a little light bulb go off! I thought oh how cute would those Lil 3-D Robotz be in Christmas colors and make cute lil "Giftables" One of the Robotz has a door that opens. But i made it so that the others can too. I cut by hand a little door! I used a photo hanger for a "knob" I had to alter the "tube" that goes thru to hold it together so you can put stuff inside!

Now, this one! well, I think the pictures themselves are just great! I lokked at these and new exactly the color palette to work with and it just fell onto the paper all by itself (i swear) and all i had to do was assemble it!

What did I use? Lots of CTMH stuff
"heavenly Blue" cardstock, Passages level 2 paper pack, Felicity papers (no longer available), Sunflower or Honey cardstock, Barn Red cardstock, holiday red cardstock and Colonial White cardstock
 I used "chocolate" CTMH ink to ink all the edges and "star spangeled Blue" ink for a few mats inking.
I used CTMH Flip Flaps (Z4114) great way to get some extra pictures in there!
Used Cricut to make embellishments. Cartridges used were Paperdolls (the original one) for all pirate items (Skull & bones, pirate ship, compass, map and Treasure chest.)
Plantin Schoolbook in DS welded words. "pirate Ships" inked in "chocolate ink"
