Time Steampunk Mica Card - Part 2

Back today to share how I finished off this fun Steampunk inspired telescoping card....


If you recall I left you at this point yesterday....


Well, we're ready to create the embellishments for this card and assemble each panel to make it telescope.  


I started off by stamping several clock/time related images with StazOn ink then covering with a layer of Antique Creative Medium.


While the CM was drying I stamped the sentiment (from ClubScrap.com) several times and cut out each word and edged with black ink.


Next I cut out LOTS of gears using various dies from Memory Box using the left over cardstock I covered with the Metallic Creative Medium from the frames.


Then I stamped and embossed the "T" from the time stamp, trimmed and adhered it to the smallest scallop circle.  This will be the front cover of the card.


Then I started adding all of the fun bits to each segment of the card. 


When it's time to assemble I started off by stacking the second largest frame over the largest frame.  Noted where they lined up at the bottom and poked a hole...at this point you need to make sure everything is oriented correctly when the card opens up as shown below....


Affix the next size frame to the 2nd largest - continue adding each segment frame to the previous until you reach the cover....  


Here it is opened (above) and all closed up below!


And here are the individual gears/frames/segments.,...






So there you have it....a really telescoped telescoping card!
Hope you've enjoyed this project and give it a try for yourself.

  3. I love how it stacks up! (pun intended) The graduated sizes of the gears give it an interesting look.

  4. What a novel idea. I have often looked at my dies and wished I could use all the sizes. This project is food for thought.
    Thank you sooo much for sharing.
