"Sawbona - Hello"

Giraffe Steampunk Serengeti

Xtreme Slimline Card

by Leigh

 

 I'm back today with another gorgeous Xtreme Slimline card for our Steampunk Serengeti Blog Hop! 

 

This xtreme slimline card features the following from my epic new Steampunk Serengeti Collection of Digi Stamps and SVG Cutz:

Giraffe Steampunk Serengeti Xtreme Slimline Panel Digi Stamp

Serengeti Leaves Layered Frame and Xtreme Slimline Card Cutz set

Essential Sentiments Steampunk Serengeti Digi Stamps Set

 

 

I used Distress Oxide Sprays as watercolours to paint my Giraffe Steampunk Serengeti Xtreme Slimline Panel Digi Stamp panel and metallic gel pens in copper, gold and silver to colour the stars and enhance the Steampunk elements of the design.

 

 

All the elements used to create the oversized slimline card are included in the Serengeti Leaves Layered Frame and Xtreme Slimline Card Cutz set.

 

 

 

To adhere the Serengeti Leaves overlay, which I cut out of 80lb black cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo 4, to the shadow layer cut from lime green cardstock I like to just use small dots of glue applied to just the largest areas on the back of the overlay.  Wet glue is the most forgiving coz you've got the time to maneuver and get everything lined up nicely.  I then put dots of glue on the back of the green shadow layer and mounted it onto the deep red mat layer.  I then adhered the Giraffe panel to the card with pop dots.

 

 

I cut the Xtreme Slimline Card base from heavy weight black cardstock and the 2nd mat layer included in the set from the same vintage patterned paper I used to make the matching Xtreme Slimline Envelope.

 

 

I then used the grunge senti "Sawubona Hello" from the Essential Sentiments Steampunk Serengeti Digi Stamps Set to complete this card.  I opened the digi stamp sentiment in Silhouette Studio and did a Print and Cut job to print the design with my home printer and then cut it out with an offset border using my Silhouette Cameo 4.   I then pounced Spectrum Noir Midas Gold pigment ink to the edges and mounted the sentiment to the card with pop dots.

 

 

Here's a look at the 2 Xtreme Slimline Cards I've shared so far, they're so dramatic together!

Check out my Cheetah post for more info on how I made that card!

Steampunk Serengeti

Lace Cutz Card

by Val

 

 LeighSBDesigner Val's Steampunk Serengeti Blog Hop fabulous inspiration for you today features new Steampunk Serengeti SVG Cutz:

Steampunk Serengeti Rectangle Collage Lace Cutz set

Gears and Leaves Layered Steampunk Elements Cutz Set
Steampunk Serengeti Layered Text Cutz set 

Serengeti Leaves Layered Frame and Xtreme Slimline Card Cutz set

 

The new Steampunk Serengeti Rectangle Collage Lace Cutz set makes a statement used as a background or as the main focal point of the card which Val shows off spectacularly here!

 

 

Val loved the colours of the gradient mat I included in the Steampunk Serengeti Rectangle Collage Lace Cutz set so much she decided to print it out first and then cut the Lace Collage and mat out using her Silhouette Portrait.

 

 

She then embellished the collage with 2 different Stickles Glitter glues and layered everything onto a red glitter cardstock mat and a folded card base made from black cardstock.

 

 

Val then embellished her card with various elements from the Steampunk Serengeti SVG Cutz collection cut from white cardstock.  The large Steampunk text is from the Steampunk Serengeti Layered Text Cutz set, the Gears are from the Gears and Leaves Layered Steampunk Elements Cutz Set and the small leaf shapes are actually the negative pieces left behind on the cutting mat when Val cut out the frames included in the Serengeti Leaves Layered Frame and Xtreme Slimline Card Cutz set for another one of her makes!

 

Val used the following to make her gorgeous card!

 

 

and these supplies:

Hobby Craft Smooth card 

Hobby Craft Black card 

Hobby Craft Brights Red card

Distress Oxides 

Ranger Stickles, Crystal, Stardust
