MD Hobby and Craft goes STEAMPUNK!

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!

  1. 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
    Thanks for the inspiration - and the card is delightful. Perfect for Father's Day!

  6. Love 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.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
