MD Hobby and Craft Metal Sheet Roll is perfect for your Steampunk projects. I wanted to try putting it through my die-cutting machine. I worked perfectly, once I got the shims correct. The dies cut through the metal sheet just like paper!
Carefully cut pieces of metal from the 12 in x 30 in roll, just large enough for your die. I was able to cut the metal with a regular pair of scissors. For the card I die-cut two small gears and one large gear.
Pictured above the dies just before adding the shims and running through the die-cutting machine.

Color the metal foil gears with Gilders Paste and irRESISTible spray, set aside to dry.
Stamp image on pattern paper, layer on black card stock with glue stick. Adhere to brown card base with double stick tape. Add Steampunk Washi Tape.
Adhere pen nib, dew drop and MD Hobby and Craft Metal gears with Tacky Glue. It was fun working with HD Hobby and Craft Metal on my Steampunk card!

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!
These look terrific Lyneen! Love the idea of being able to die cut metal. I've never seen the dies you used - who makes them or where do you get them? I see a whole new world of supplies opening up. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration - and the card is delightful. Perfect for Father's Day!
Oh I have never thought to use my diecuts on metal. Will have to try that. Great project and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE steampunk and this is just SO COOL!
ReplyDeletePerfect partnership! This is a fantastic way to get authentic Steampunk appearance in projects.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Your Steampunk creations are always very nice. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the steampunk project and cutting metal. I was wondering which metal could be die cut. I did not want to warp my dies using one that is too heavy. Yes, I have done that before. Ugh.
