Please join me tomorrow over at Simon Says Stamps blog to see my Guest Designer project and tutorial!
I was honored with being the guest designer for Simon Says Stamps this week! Thanks Simon Says! I had a blast with this challenge!! The challenge for the design team was....To craft a project with heart. So, I took it to heart and made a Tricycle Heart with mini....
Here's a sneak peek...
A fast and easy altered art heart with a steampunk feel. The heart box glides along on three pulley wheels. Once the Bead Chain is “unhitched”, the inside reveals a little mini book perfect for pictures and memorabilia.
For more pictures and a tutorial on how to make this, please visit Simon Says Stamp's blog tomorrow morning, Wednesday, November 28th.
Thanks For Coming By!

Oh my! What a bunch of steampunky goodness! Looking forward to full details tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThe whimsy of this piece is just amazing! I don't know how you manage to fit all of your fabulous ideas into one little head. I guess that's why you wear the top hat...to keep them from flying away. Seriously, Jim....you are crossing the border line from crafter to artist! I am so impressed!
ReplyDeleteLovin' the steampunk heart and looking forward to the full reveal tomorrow, Jim! I'm thinking somehow your day must have more hrs in it than our 24-hr day. How do you do it?! lol

AWESOME! I love it Jim, can't wait to see the inside. Sorry to bring up your balding head, but I think I figured it out. You can't keep hair on top of your head because your mind is going 24/7 and the steam coming out of your head prevents the hair from growing. HA! Just my theory!
ReplyDeleteIt is always such fun visiting your blog. Steampunk is wonderful and your heart project is just beautiful. It is so imaginative. Love the "break handle" kind of piece--your imagination is over the top great.
ReplyDeleteIt just doesn't stop!
ReplyDeleteOh what FUN!!! I love this piece!! Can't wait to see the rest of it tomorrow. You never cease to amaze me!!
ReplyDeleteCompletely fantastic project... looking forward to seeing what's to come...

ReplyDeleteOh Jim... this is ...um um ... I can't find a word ! I love it can't wait to see the "tut". Love the pulley wheels, the wings, Way cool !!
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze me! Another winner!
ReplyDeleteOh my Jim, you have been busy. I take a few days off, and just love all the goodies you have come up with. I enjoyed the Turkey so much, I can't wait to try my hand at the Christmas tree. I actually used a MS Punch on my turkey's rosettes, and found that it was much easier to punch the strips before scoring so that I could actually score down the centers of the punch pattern which is a little more then a half inch. That meant I had to move the paper slightly each time I scored, ( a little more effort), but so worth it in the end. I will probably do the same on the tree, and definitely seperate the layers like you did. Enjoyed the video with your Mom and Ceasar. Love your Mom - she is so cute!!!!! Thanks for the sneak peek of your altered heart on wheels. So darn cute, can't wait to see tomorrows blog.

Very cute, it has the little cogs in my brain turning. Can't wait to see the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love this one Jim. I wonder if the mini book will be heart shaped too.
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love this! Again another great project. Will definitely have to try this one. I have a set of those pulley's that i have been dying to use.
