- Easel Steampunk Hat - The Longest Journey card
Created: June 1, 2016 Suzanne has started a new blog and it's all about digital cutting... and to start off I thought I'd use one of her newest cutting files available on the Silhouette onLine store HERE This
is what the hat looks like in the file I'm using a quote stamp from Quietfire Design

I opened the Silhouette file in Sure
Cuts A Lot software. Increased the image size of everything at once
until my hat was approx 6.5"w. I then ungrouped everything and
only selected my main hat piece, elongating it till it became approx
4.5"h. I copied and pasted the hat onto a new sheet and welded
a rectangle that was the height of my hat (4.5"h) and
2.5"w. After cutting out the hat/rectangle, I scored the
rectangle at the 2.25" and 4.5" points creating the front
part of the easel.
I cut the main hat piece from Kanban "Pearl Glaze Farfalla - Coffee Brown Background Card". It's a relatively thick cardstock, so to be on the safe side, I cut twice. My blade is really used... The gear band I cut from Kanban "Bella Paisley - Mocha Luxury". All the other elements from cream toned cardstock. I cut a second main hat piece from the cream cardstock which I'll cut down and use for my quote/card stopper. I adhered the main Kanban hat piece to the front portion of the rectangle, matching it up with the floor hat. |

The hat brim was inked with "Walnut Stain" and embossed with Distress "Walnut Stain" embossing powder, then burnished. The bottom portion of the hat piece was embossed with Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots" embossing folder, sponged with the brown, then high points sanded down. The gear parts on the hat - the cross piece was inked with Versafine "Vintage Sepia" and embossed with Emerald Creek Hot Stuff "Chic Camo" embossing powder. The circle over layer with Distress "Walnut Stain" embossing powder. The 3 decorative gears with Judikins "Rustique Tin Can" embossing powder. |

The 2 larger buttons were sponged with either "Tumbled Glass" or "Crushed Olive", then run through my embossing machine using Cuttlebug "Mesh" embossing folder, high points hit with the same color pads and clear embossed. The smallest button was just colored with "Broken China" and clear embossed. The feather I lightly sponged with the olive, created score feather lines with a small balled stylus, then direct to paper with the tumbled glass. On the extra main hat piece I cut straight across the brim. Inked my quote stamp using Versafine Sepia all over and hitting here and there with Black Onyx, clear embossing. Sponged around the edges with a dirty brown sponge. Adhered to floor of card with 3D foam tape. As a final touch added some small manly type buttons with a glue tool. |
