Challenge 62 - Steampunk

Hi there, Claireliz here with this weeks challenge.

The theme for this week is:

Steampunk

I used Sarah's Steampunk CD & the Gadget Gears Alterations die to decorate this little printers tray. The cogs are cut from chipboard & the Steampunk papers.

Inside the tray I've used the Steampunk papers & lots of little embellishments

The pocket watch on the back is coloured in with Promarkers & mounted on a chipboard circle.

Elaine
All made using the Steampunk CD, Cogs embossing folder, and an old button, distressed with Tim Holtz inks.

Claire C

My card is made using elements from the Steampunk CD with a button and ribbon from my stash

Jaine

I made a tag and used the Steampunk papers and elements to decorate it.

EMMA
I made a card using papers and elements from Sarah's Steampunk CD and combined them with Tim Holtz Alterations dies and Texture Fades.


Jess

Using papers and embellies from the Steampunk CD, Tag and Button Dies and a bit of ribbon.

Melly

I used the delish Steampunk Papers and the Wings Digi stamp along with a Crafts and Me image

This is Steampunk Girly Style!! I've used a couple of papers from the Steampunk CD, along with some distress ink, kraft card, and embellishments to make a post it note holder.

Challenge 61 - Birthday Celebrations!

This fortnights challenge is Birthday Celebrations! We have a lot of March birthdays within our Design Team and thought it would be a great challenge! It can be a card, a gift or a scrapbook page, whatever your Birthday themed crafty project is, we want to see it!

Here is the inspiration from my lovely Design Team...

Elaine

I used the Wonderland CD for my paper and image, spring border by memory box and spellbinders butterfly cut out of red glitter card

Jaine

I used the new Steampunk papers and stamps to create the card, adding some pink to make it a bit girlie. The bodice was printed onto acetate and I love how the backing paper shows through. 

Claire C

I've used papers and lots of elements from the new Steampunk CD for my card

Emma

I also used papers and elements from Sarah's wonderful new Steampunk CD to make my tag and combined them with some Tim Holtz Alterations dies which work perfectly with this collection.

Claireliz

I used Sarah's fantastic Steampunk range to create these 2 cards - perfect for mens Birthdays!

Jess

I used an Original Alice image from the Wonderland CD, together with one of the backing papers, on top of which I have heat embossed some swirls with clear embossing powder, then used Walnut Stain distress ink to enhance it.  Using the same paper, I've made a rolled paper rose.

 Clare
I have used papers and an octopus digi image from the Mermaid collection

Melly 
I used more of the yummy Easter Tea Party Kit

Lisa
I've used papers, images and embellishments all from Sarah's gorgeous new Steampunk kit to make a couple of masculine birthday cards.
