Steampunk Gears ~ with Cyndy G

Good morning.  Thank you for stopping by.  Today I am sharing a project using files from SVG Attic.  I used the gears from Steampunk Gears Cogs and Sprockets 3 as the base for my Steampunk Debutante wall hanging. 

I added a solid background piece by breaking apart the main gear and removing all the extra pieces.  I cut three layers for the back for added stability. 

I fussy cut pieces from the Steampunk Debutante paper collection by Graphic 45 and added some metal embellishments.  I also used Mod Podge to protect and harden my finished project.  Thank you for stopping by today.

Trendy Bakers Twine Steampunk Air Balloon ~ GDT Cyndy G.

Hello crafty friends - Cyndy from Cyndy G Time Made for Me.  Today I am sharing my last GDT project for the month.  I made a Steampunk Air Balloon using the Cotton Candy Trendy Bakers Twine.  The svg files are from SVG Attic/Snapdragon Snippets.  I used the Hot Air Balloon Box and the Submarine 3d Box.

I ran the "rope" panels through my Xyron machine and applied the Cotton Candy Trendy Bakers Twine to the front of them.  It was very easy to do but if you are going to try this make sure not to pull your twine tight that will cause the twine to separate from the panel.  I braided some of the Cotton Candy Trendy Bakers Twine and attached an anchor and made a couple tassels.

Thank you for stopping by.  I have enjoyed being here.  

I hope I have given you some new ideas for ways of using your Trendy Bakers Twine.

Steampunk Love ~ with Cyndy G

Hello - thank you for stopping by.  Today I am sharing a card I made using files from SVG Attic.  It is the Cupid Wings with Pull Tabs card from JGW Heartfelt Delivery.  I don't know how I've missed this card!  I just love it.

I used paper by Marion Smith Designs - Gypsy for the base and DCWV The Twinkle Glints 

and Foiled for the gears and wings.  The file includes an optional piece you can use to hang the card.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Steampunk Dressform ~ with Cyndy G.

Good morning crafty people.  Today I'm sharing the Dressmaker Mannequin from JGW Just Sew.  I just love this new kit.  There are so many fun projects.

I added the Mourner's hat from JGW Raven Quest.

And wings from JGW 3D Witch.  I used Graphic 45, Steampunk Spells - I just love this paper!

I'm using a piece of Trendy Twine as the necklace for my charm.  

This dress-form is so much fun and very sturdy!  I hope you will share your projects with us, we would love to see them.  Hope you all have a wonderfully crafty weekend :)

Steampunk Bear ~ with Cyndy G.

Hello and happy Friday.  I have a super fun project to share today.  

I used the JGW 3d Teddy Bear to create this Steampunk bear.

I used the Mourner's hat out of the JGW Raven Quest.  This hat is my favorite go to hat.  It is so easy to make and it looks fabulous.  I cut it at about 55%.  The paper I used is from Marion Smith Designs and it is beautiful.  I don't know if you can tell in the photo but the pattern on the paper is sheets of metal.  This is very thick paper and it is great for paper crafting.

The goggles are from SDS Ready For Take Off and the clock is from JGW New Years Celebration.

I used buttons that look like metal and the bow is in the file with the mourner's hat.  

To get the hat to fit the way I wanted, I left off the right ear.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today.  Thank you for stopping by.

Witches in the Pumpkin Patch

Immediately, following the end of the Autumn challenge SVG Cuts announced a Halloween challenge.  They had mentioned earlier that they might do one so I had already made a pumpkin in preparation however I had to wait to hear what kits were going to be allowed before proceeding any further than that.

I used Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells.  I just love this collection.  I wanted to carry the theme of the paper in the pumpkin up into the top decoration.

In order to do this I made a bed of flowers as my base.  I have the witch on patrol for the night around her house.  The Big Jack-o-Lantern is from Fright Night, the House, Jack-o-lantern (little) and flowers are from the Haunted Forest kit.  The rosette spiderweb is in the Catacomb Manor kit, the moon is a free file and the spider is from the Spooky Soiree kit.

The house and the jack-o-lantern are scaled down to 35%.  The house is 4 and a half inches tall.

I just love the way it all turned out.

I think the moon added just the right touch.

I glued a square piece of Styrofoam to the inside of the pumpkin and added floral wire to all the pieces (you can see it a little behind the web, from the moon), and arranged the pieces in the pumpkin.  My biggest obstacle was coming up with something to attach the wire to for the house.  So, I made a trip to Michael's.  The young lady who works there suggested using a button.  What a wonderful idea.  So I wrapped the wire around the button and then hot glued it to the bottom of the house.  This way I can still take it all apart and store it easily.

I hope you enjoyed my Steampunk inspired pumpkin.  Happy Halloween.

Here is a list of the files I used:

Fright Night
Haunted Forest
Catacomb Manor
Spooky Soiree
