Friday Focus - Movers and Shapers

well it is time for another Friday focus and I am one lucky girl as I have got Movers and Shapers dies to focus on...I love these dies as they are so versatile and also have that cool Tim thing going on! Movers and shapers come in a variety of styles are are magnetic dies that work in conjunction with some of the bigz dies and/ or a base plate which is magnetic.  So hopefully I have a few projects designed to show some of the cool ways that these dies can be used.

To start off I created a large piece, which I will break down to show how I have used the Movers and shapers in different ways...So here is the large make :

Now to take this apart to show where and how the dies have been used: ( all the details for how this was made will be on my blog on Sunday)
 Firstly I cut out the pocket watch movers and shapers die and set the centre aside..this left the piece that usually would be discarded but I used this as a mask to stamp the cog design from Time Travellers set through.

I then also the pocket watch piece as a mask to cover over the stamped design so that I could ink the background.

Then using the fab circles from the movers and shapers range I firsty stamped a pocket watch using the pocket watch and base plate. Then I used the cut out shape and re cut using the smallest circle die to remove a piece from the centre, this gave me the piece placed on the box below.

 

So below shows the nearly finished piece that has used two masks made from the die and pocket watch base and frames, leaving a fab place in the centre just waiting to be filled...

And I gave into temptation and added another UTEE filled bottle cap complete with idea-ology gears...

The key is also a movers and shapers die and here has been used with the wonderful steampunk gent from time travellers set:

Then in another piece of the large make I again used the die cut itself and the hole left behind..if that make sense..as you can see with the cogs below..the fact that can be moved means they can cut out a piece inside a larger piece anywhere you like...really cool...

I wanted to fill the large cog shape holes with cogs and then decided to fill them with glossy accents...but the cool thing is I could position them where I wanted within the piece of card and with the magnetic base tray they were held in place perfectly.

I then used the cogs for somewhere else in the piece.

I know this is a large piece with lots of die cuts..but I wanted to show you how the same idea can be achieved on small pieces..like these ATC's below where is used the in and outside pieces. Also the cool thing about the ATC is the inside space is magnetic so lots of the Movers and Shapers just fit inside...

This ATC below uses the heart shape and then the other uses the atc shape with the heart missing..

Finally a  previous piece to show other Movers and Shapers dies in action:

This piece above uses the large pocket watch die for the base and then the large pocket watch die in conjunction with the movers and shapers die for the centre piece to be removed to create the frame.

All the dies and Movers and Shapers I have used are listed below with links to the lovely Linda's Funkie Junkie Boutique, where these are already at a fab price and will now have another 15% off for this week as they are the Friday Focus..
