Industrial Chic Mixed Essentials

Hi crafters!  Second up today is the new Industrial Chic Mixed Essentials die set.  This set includes all sorts of pieces that are just perfect for putting together that fabulous steampunk/ industrial look for your cards and projects!  From the steampunk silhouette man to the timepiece, wings, bolt, cogs, key, screw and wind up key, there is surely a die that will work for whatever you need.  If you are liking the look of this set, you only have to leave a comment to be included in the drawing to win this set.   I would really love to know what you think of the Industrial Chic collection as it is a bit of a new foray for me.   If you are unsure how to go about leaving a comment on any of the posts, there are full directions written out for you on the right hand side of the blog, it is ever so easy to do.  Just give it a try, you never know you may just be the winner of a die set!  The final blog post for our launch day will be up at 3pm today.  I would love to see you back here then.  All for now, Sue x

    Hi there Sue,

    There’s no end to your creative talents! Pulling off steampunk designs shows the breadth of your creativity.

    Whilst I’m a pink and floral kinda girl I can appreciate beauty in other styles.

    Well done Sue!

    Love, Nanny JooJoo from sunny Scunny xx

    Once this one is in the bag, the others will just have to follow. I love all the steampunk dies but for me this is the one that ties them all together with all the tiny elements and that wonderful Victorian Gentleman.

    Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!

    The steampunk theme is just so inspiring, i find myself very excited to see what your creative mind has in store for us with demos and card samples on the blog.....it is a style of card making that has always appealed to me but i have never possessed the necessary knowledge and expertise to pull it off convincingly. The backgrounds you are creating with this theme are fabulous, however would i need a full protective body suit to stop me getting it all over my clothes:-)
    This card and die set are equally awesome, i can see all the elements being really useful in scrapbooking heritage pages with old photographs, not to mention the fact that many of our male counterparts would appreciate a grunge style industrial look to their cards.
    I gather that the steampunk theme isnt to everyone’s taste Sue, well, each to their own, you can’t please everybody but personally i am finding it a refreshing change to your usual perfectionism and classic lines and i sincerely hope that you will treat us to this style far more often:-)
    Sending love and hugs to all, particularly my blog besties who i have missed so latelyxxx

    Love and crafty hugs

    Nifty background, not sure how it was done. You really can't make a bad card but I do love your others more.I ordered all the frames & tags that Phill showed on Hochanda. I think these Steampunk dies will go over well for you though.

    I love the look of your Industrial Chic Collection. I have always been a steampunk fan. but not of the grungy steampunk. I like to lighten & brighten it up. These dies are going to work so well with that style. Can't wait for my already ordered dies to arrive. I am sure many of them will mix well with dies from some of your other collections.

  43. Anonymous1 November 2017 at 01:35

    Oh my, oh my, oh my! Love these and what you've done with them. Ditto on the intriguing backgrounds. This one and the first one really need to be demonstrated on videos.
    The Winged Thing really does remind me of Wild, Wild West. Perfect as an abstract element, like on your sample.

    I already pre-ordered the Industrial Chic sets I loved that sold out early on Joanna Sheen, but I will buy this after I don't win it.

    love,
    Donita

  45. Janice E Brummett1 November 2017 at 02:27

    Love the background on this card. Hope you do a video on how you created it. This die has so many different components that it makes it a must for "guy" cards. The angel wings would be very pretty on a sympathy card.

    This Card Is Truly Magnificent I Love The Exceptional Background Created
    By The Use Of Pixie Powders Also By Swirling Of Cosmic Shimmer PVA That Both
    Yourself/Julia Have Demonstrated In The Past.
    The Industrial Chic Collection Would Work Great On Both Cards/Scrapbooking
    I Love The Word Dies, So Many Opportunities On How To Use Them, Plus The
    Fabulous Mixed Essentials Die Set Which Contains 10 Cutting Dies The Great Clock
    The Key/Steampunk Gent Etc.
    Sue My Dear Friend Thank You So Very Much.
