Mechanical Square Card



Hi bloggers!  It may be steampunk, but it is definitely more elegant than the grungy you would normally associate with steampunk, don't you think?  If you are looking for something a bit different for Christmas, here it is!








The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

  12. Hi Sue. I adore the shade of blue used here, I have 3 packs left as it's something that mixes and matches so beautifully with many shades of the Foundation cardstock. Its so cute how you designed the 'grunge' festive collection with tiny holly leaves intertwined with wheels and cogs, you have to be the only designer that had that vision and had the confidence to know it would be received so well around the globe. If I had only a tiny bit of your vision and knowledge I'd be so happy. Will sit and enjoy your tutorial later in the meantime have a lovely day xxx

  19. Hi Sue,

    I love the elegant steampunk you've got going on here this morning. If you really use your imagination you can almost see an elegant crystallized snowball. No matter it is really nice and something quite different for a change.

    Have a great day.

  32. Hi Sue, a beautiful Christmas card. Something different with the 'steam punk' dies but with it's pretty frosty colours I think it works well. Thanks for your video.

  33. Hi Sue, at first glance I didn't even realise this was your Industrial Chic, that is how clever your dies are. I am not at all into grunge/steam punk but this card is elegant, quite easy to achieve and I really like it.

    Good morning all.
    I don't know how you do it Sue. Grungy is not my scene at all and here I am, admiring this lovely creation and refusing to admit that it's grungy. You really are a great artist.
