And if you need a little additional inspiration to get you going, here are some makes from the design team to celebrate Christmas steampunk style ;)



has created this amazing "Wishes" tag and lighted two beautiful Christmas (or Advent) candles for you.




I love that little scroll at the bottom of the tag!


I guess the clock is counting down the days until Christmas Eve... ;)






went for traditional greens and reds for Christmas...
and for some cool texture





"Circuit to the Christmas Star"
shows how beautifully steampunk and a Christmas theme
can be fused





has come up with a stunning Christmas tag
that has some amazing crackle and hints of rusty shades and wire



and I

- Claudia -

had to play with some newly bought house dies and created a little 
winter scene on a Christmas tag, using various metal paints and other glitter effect paints alongside 
a good dose of faux rust on the houses



Even the snow has been stained with rust it seems... ;)

The team and I would like to wish you all 


and a Happy New Year!
