Steampunk Debutante Tag Tutorial for Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts
Hello, Friends! I’m thrilled to be guest designing for Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts again today! When I found fabulous Steampunk chippies in my goodie box from Gypsy Soul, I knew just what I wanted to do with them. I hope this Steampunk Debutante Tag tutorial will get your creative juices flowing, too.
I love all the colors and dimension and whimsy on this heavy weight tag. The chipboard base is incredibly thick and strong…so much so that I decided to add a little waterfall folio to the reverse side.
How fun is that? You can display this as home decor, and load your favorite photos and journaling on the back side.
It even has a pocket!
This tag is loaded with gorgeous chippies and fun details. At first glance it may look more complicated than a project you’d like to tackle. But like the old saying, “Yard by yard, life is hard; inch by inch it’s a cinch,” following the easy steps in my Snapguide tutorial will break things down and make it easy!
Here are a few more photos to whet your appetite!
Foam dimensionals are a girl’s best friend, and they helped me add loads of depth and dimension to the design.
I love this Steampunk Gent and his funky top hat!
This pocket watch is filled with beads, mini gears and one of the stickers from the collection.
And look how cool the embossed gears are! The little metal clip on the side holds the folio on the reverse closed.
You can easily fit between 19-20 4″ x 4″ photos on the back of this tag. Less if you add journaling for each photo. And you can always tuck more photos into the pocket.
I hope you’ll give this Steampunk Debutante Tag Folio a test drive. Here are links to the chippies I used in its creation:

Kathy,
Where did you get those funky goggles? My eyes went right toward them. 🙂

Hi, Patricia! They are Prima Junkyard findings. I listed them in the supply list, I think. I found mine online at JoAnn’s, but they’ve been out a long time so they might not still be available there. I love them, too! Thanks for stopping by!
Fabulous tag and chock full of goodness, Kathy. I think the pocket watch is my favorite! This is truly a fun one! I don’t know how you do it, but I’m so glad you do! 😉
Hugs,
Kris
WOW!! I love it.Absolutely fantastic. I can imagine how much fun you had putting it all together. You done real good!!
Your attention to detail continues to amaze me.
yet another masterpiece! You really do have such an amazing talent Kathy Clements!! 🙂
Hello Kathy …
serious internet problems are keeping me from being able to post very often, but I have internet connection right now and thrilled to be looking at this FAN-DABBIE-DOZIE post of yours. I adore the Steampunk tag, so much so that I’ve vowed (to myself) that I’m going to have a go at making my version of one like it. It’s a true work of heart Kathy. Well done, you clever thing.
I got your email and will reply. (asap).
Sending love ~ Cobs. xxx
Wow! This is sooo cool, Kathy, and your step-by-step certainly makes it look far more manageable than all the beautiful detail would indicate. Just one question–when I went to the link for the XL Decorative Chipboard Tags, it actually links to the X Large, which is 8″ (approx) long. I’m thinking the link should go to the Super X to get the approx 11″ long tag. I could be wrong or missed something along the way. Just thought I’d run it past you. Have a super day, my friend and thank you again for sharing your incredible talent!
