Welcome to this month\u2019s installment of the Stamper\u2019s Dozen Blog Hop.  You are currently visiting Joanne Cantrell in a small town at the very bottom of Illinois smack dab in the middle of the United States!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our theme this month is all about the soon-to-be-released 2019 Occasions Catalog.  Each time Stampin’ Up! releases a new catalog, I think to myself, “They really have outdone themselves again!”  This time is no different!  I think you will agree with me when you get to see it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I was sitting at OnStage (our bi-annual Stampin’ Up! convention-type gathering!) flipping through the catalog.  I was loving everything.  Then… I saw it… the new  Garage Gears Thinlits Dies (148521) just hiding out on the bottom of page 43.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not sure why, but my first thought was Steampunk… because who wouldn’t?  Right!?!  So, my cogs started turning…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you aren’t familiar with what Steampunk is, it is “is a subgenre of science fiction and sometimes fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery.” Or at least it is according to Wikipedia!  To me it is just cool.  I do knot know why I am attracted to the look of it…  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, here is what I have for you this month…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I always see the steampunk colors being dark and muted mixed with creams.\u00a0 This led me to use a color combination of Basic Black, Early Espresso, and Cajun Crazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To give the gears a more vintage look, I used the “Tarnish Foil” technique.\u00a0 This is one of my favorite techniques.\u00a0 It’s all about laying different metallic embossing powders.\u00a0 For this look, I started with copper foil and layered on copper, gold and silver powders.\u00a0 Then, I ran the dies through the Big Shot.\u00a0 It helped pick up that definition in the gears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, since I had some left over gears, I decided to do a little gift tag too…\u00a0 ya know, because I could!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for stopping by.\u00a0 Now, go and see what the others have for you… It’s okay.\u00a0 Hop along!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
