September 2026 Card Making Class – Project 2

Today I’m sharing the second project from my recent monthly Card Making Class.

The theme for September’s class was ‘Mostly Men’, so the projects all have a slightly more masculine feel to them.

This design uses the Gears & Textures Stamp Set and coordinating Dies.

My colour combination is Gray Granite, Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry, with Basic White.

First, the splats and spatters are stamped on the background to give a workshop feel. A bit of extra shading is created using a Blending Brush.

Next, the gears and chain are cut out in Gray Granite using the Dies. They are then coloured in Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry, using Sponge Daubers.

A shape is then punched using the Triple Banner Punch and a sentiment from the coordinating Banner Sayings Stamp Set is added. This discounted Bundle can be found in the new Catalogue.

To assemble, the chain section is cut and stuck to the project, leaving a space in the middle for the sentiment to sit on.

All of the gears, apart from the largest one are then stuck to the project.

Finally, the sentiment and large gear are added using Dimensionals.

Happy crafting
