Lady Steampunk by Julie Lavalette

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and I do hope you are having a lovely weekend preparing for the forthcoming Festivities. I thought it would be nice to share a card using the fantastic Steampunk dies that Cheery Lynn make. I love the versatility of these dies and have fun making them look grungy, masculine or giving them a feminine shabby look. So let me take you through the details on my card.

My Steampunk corners, cogs and butterfly wings were all heat embossed with Frantage powders, tucking accents of cogs behind my paper layers with touches of lace and cheesecloth.

My corset was mounted onto patterned paper and trimmed around the edges. I repeated this process cutting out the bust area only and glued in place on top of the corset with silicone glue to add dimension. The belt was made using the Hinges die adding a little thread. I finished my corset with lace edges and some bling then mounted onto my Butterfly.

My roses and leaves were cut in coordinating paper to compliment the roses on my paper.

Steampunk Butterfly with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello, Jenny here today with a steampunk inspired card. I layered everything on a 5.5" kraft card base. I added a white layer that I distressed the edges of and cut with the Square Stitch Nesting die. I topped the white layer with a piece of patterned card stock. I aged this with a distressing tool and colored the edges with distress ink.

I used glued two sizes of Pierced Banners and randomly layered them before adding the fun elements. This Gears Butterfly was embossed with frantage powder for an uneven but metallic appearance and then popped up using foam tape.

The Gears were coated with clear crackle paint and perfect pearls. The Steampunk Corner die cuts were colored with a metallic distress stain. Before gluing all the gears in place I cut the larger Celebrate die cut, colored it with distress ink and glued it to the card.

Thinking of you Card!

Corina 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hello Everyone! Corina here and thank you for joining me today! This week I made a card with a little Steampunk influence.

I used my Clocks Embossing Plate, assorted Gear Dies, and the NEW Horizon Fishtail Banners - which I am loving!!

I inked my Embossing Plate with black dye ink and then ran it through my ebosser. The black ink went into the de-bossed area, giving the cardstock a printing press effect!
Tip: Remember to clean your Embossing Plate right after!

I sprayed the Gears around the card with homemade shimmer spray in silver and added silver Pearl Pen to highlight areas of the die cuts. Absolutely nothing is complete without a Cheery Lynn Flower!

I hope you enjoyed my card this week. Happy Easter Everyone! (Vrolijk Pasen, Joyeuses Pâques, Frohe Ostern, Selamat Paskah, Boa Páscoa!, ਈਸਟਰ ਖੁਸ਼ਿਯਾੰਵਾਲਾ ਹੋਵੇ (īsṭar khuśyāṅvālā hove) ¡Felices Pascuas!).
