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.
