My Steampunk Anniversary Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here sharing My Steampunk Anniversary Card using Goth Dad and Goth Mom by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card.

I gave this fun card to my Hubby for our wedding anniversary this year. He loves anything steampunk and the Addams Family. So, I decided to add a steampunk vibe to my card with gears, a chain, a monocle, the Word Band, and my monochromatic colour scheme.

My Card Details

For my card, I decided that I wanted to colour the two images in black and white just like in the old TV series, but with a pop of red for the rose. I carried that colour scheme over with my paper choices and embellishments. The My Mind’s Eye paper was so perfect that I decided to make my card 6” x 6” and only cut off 1/8” for the card base. I lightly sponged the Brushed Iron wax to my die cut corner gears to give them added dimension and placed them underneath Goth Dad. To mirror them, I place Cherry Cobbler die cut roses on the opposite corner underneath Goth Mom. A black doily helps set off my focal point of the coloured stamps from the background.

For embellishments, I used a Tim Holtz Monocle and Word Band that mirror the Brushed Iron Wax in colour. I picked up the Ball Bead Chain from my local hardware store. The Cherry Cobbler Ribbon and Red Rhinestone, tie in my pop of red colour.

My Envelope Details


Since I went with a 6” x 6” card, I need to create a custom envelope and my Envelope Punch Board came to the rescue.

Front of my Envelope

I used some Stampin’ Up Designer Series Paper that carried the monochrome theme over from the card. I used a sponge dauber to dab Cherry Cobbler Ink to the roses on the paper to tie in my pops of red. Some black lace fiber blend tied my envelope together with a matching gear tag.
