Steampunk and Just A Little Wizard of OZ

A little Steampunk and a little Wizard of Oz!  The Great and Powerful Oz inspired these creations.  The movie theatre was giving away posters to advertise the new OZ movie!  I created some magical cards by cutting out the best parts of the posters and adding some gold embossing and complimentary colors to matte the image.  Crinkle paper makes these dimensional and bling adds just enough to make it fancy!

Now Entering the World of Steam Punk

I have been working hard on new Steampunk designs! If you haven't heard of this phenomenon it is a design based upon Science Fiction from the early 1900's when people imagined the world would run on steam power. Gears, clocks and some other rather interesting design concepts are at its heart. It imagines a world where predomination by electricity and petroleum never happens. Check out http://www.steampunk.com/what-is-steampunk/  The following designs are just the beginning, more to come soon!  All for sale in my Etsy store! https://www.etsy.com/shop/LanaBugDesigns

The gold is embossed using Versa mark and gold embossing powder!  Tim Holtz paper adds some extra nice details to some of the cards and 7 Gypsies cling stamps from Michael's Arts and Crafts allowed me to add the clock embellishments.

Reclaimed Books Made into Flowers and Then Into Beautiful Note Cards

I crafted these flowers from old books we had in the family!  With a quilling tool and my friend glue dots these beautiful note cards could be for any occasion you can imagine.

Feeling a Little Monday Night Inspiration

After a long day at the 9-5 job I was feeling a little Monday Night Inspiration and a longing for a vacation.  Palm trees and my favorite stamp helped me create these beautiful cards.  Father's day is just around the corner and with a Happy Father's Day Sentiment created inside you could thank you Dad for taking you all sorts of different places.  The traditional fishing card for Dad with a modern twist was also part of the creative explosion.

Handmade Flowers Grace My New Cards for This Week

A few weeks ago I attended an expo where I learned how to make beautiful handmade flowers from variety of materials!  Materials used in making the orange flower include crate paper, Tim Holtz Distressing Ink, Banana Paper and wired burlap rope.

 

The main inspiration was a company named Mona Mi Gabby! 

The owner was amazing and super sweet as well.

 

I have taken these ideas and placed them on the

front of my cards and they are just beautiful!

 

They can be purchased at Lana Bug Designs on Etsy, but here they are!
