This week's challenge at Papercraft Star is to make a steampunk themed project. Now, I made this project as a part of my application for the Papercraft Star design team, and although I didn't make the team, I still wanted to share this card, because I think it's pretty cool!
Supplies:
- Base (kraft) cardstock - The Paper Studio
- Patterned paper - Gartner Studios - Bon Voyage - Map (found at Michaels)
- Chipboard pinwheel - Bo Bunny
- Enjoy The Journey Stamp - Tim Holtz
- Brads, game spinner and sprockets - Tim Holtz Idea-ology
- Black wire - WalMart hardware department (it's a very soft plastic coated wire)
- Steampunk image - The Graphics Fairy
- Inks - Stampabilities and Anna Griffin
- Embossing Powders - Ranger
Tools:
- Computer and ink jet printer
- EK Success border punch
- Scissors, craft knife, ruler, rotary cutter
- Heat embossing tool
Tips:
- I cut the paper so that the lines on the map were so I could put the game spinner in the center
- The chip board was 'blackboard' chip board, so I inked it and added several colors of embossing powders, heating in between each, to get the grungy look you see
- For the wired sprockets, I attached the end of the wire to one of the sprockets, then wrapped the wire around once, attached another sprocket, wrapped it once again, attached the last sprocket, and then twisted the wire together to hold it all together. I really love that look!
And yes, I love this card! It is perfect for a young man going to college, or an older man retiring and starting a new journey in his life. Or any other occasion you can imagine! Thanks so much for visiting me today! Come back soon and see what I've been up to here at Camellia Cottage. Blessings, Becky
