“All Geared Up and No Place To Go” Hat

Hi everyone!  Thanks for popping by today 🙂   Welcome to some Wednesday inspiration for Heartfelt Creations!

Project Instructions:

Other products:  Core’dinations Kraft Core Nostalgic Collection Card Stock, Reasonable Ribbon Burlap String, Tim Holtz Trim, Tim Holtz Mini Gears, Feather from my stash, Distressed Inks and die cutting machine.

Instructions:

I based this Steampunk hat on this tutorial.  Simply follow the tutorial and create the hat out of Card Stock.  I used Core’dinations Kraft Core Nostalgic Collection Card Stock as the base which I lightly sanded for that worn vintage look and then wrapped the hat with paper from the All Geared Up Paper Collection.  For the image, I stamped, colored and fussy cut the image from the Plates and Gears PreCut Set and positioned it front and center on the hat, surrounding it with some of the fun die cuts from the All Geared Up Die.  In the Plates and Gears PreCut set you have a few cool sentiments to choose from that look like license plates. Stamp your favorite and die cut using the All Geared Up die.  Finish your hat off with a flower made from the Striped Sun Kissed Fleur PreCut set, add some burlap string and some bling and voila you have yourself one funky hat!

Until next time, have a wonderful day!

Crafty hugs to you 🙂
