I was really challenged to make this project with Steampunk Spells, as cards are not something I typically create.

 My approach here was to try and achieve dimension with collage and then finish with heavy metal elements.

On the inside of the card I really used my love for collage to decorate.

 Elements were cut from several different papers with the time theme, and then I layered away. 

Of course lots of metal embellishments were added along the way.

 I used the card stock banners in an unusual way by having them act as hinges for an additional flap on the cover.

I love the heaviness of this sturdy hinged card.  

It was really fun to step outside the box and make something that I usually don't.  I hope you are inspired to try something new as well!

Steampunk Peek-a-boo Cards

I really fell in love with the Well Traveled papers, so I just had to use them in my peek-a-boo cards for Alpha Stamps.  The paper's theme lends itself to a steampunk look, and as you know, this is a genre that I really love.

Collage sheets used include:  

Hot Air Balloons Collage Sheet

Steampunk Words Collage Sheet

Time Flies Collage Sheet

Gauges Collage Sheet

Vintage Gents Collage Sheet

Inside I have layered lots of charms and stuff.  I fell in love with the industrial gears.  The Hot Air Balloon charm is also a perfect addition. 

On the back I tried something new!  I ran my scrapbook paper through my printer with some of Alpha Stamps new Passport Stamp Set Download.  I have to admit, I was intimidated to try these digital images, but with my simple application I was able to easily use them and it enhanced my paper.

This is my Time Card.  In this sample I was striving to use the wild new black and white paper and I still managed to go the industrial route.  I was intending for an Alice in Wonderland theme, but it just did not happen.

These die cuts proved to be so much fun to work with.   The dimension that is achieved by using them was really nice.  

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and leave comments, it really does mean the world to me!

Cheers,
