Here is a card I will be making with a class in Rising Sun, MD today. Isn’t it lovely! I used the Vintage Vogue and Three Little Words stamp sets along with the Very Vintage jumbo wheel. The colors are Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip.
Very Vintage Jumbo Stampin' Around Wheel
When I do anything vintage in style I always like to use one of our sponges and some ink to give the edges an older look. It’s amazing how much difference a little sponge and ink can make! If I made this same card and did no sponging on either the Sahara Sand or Very Vanilla cardstock there would be a very big difference and the vintage style would be lost. The un-sponged version would look very stark and I guess you could say “new.”
Chocolate Chip Epoxy Brad
Do you see the smallest little flower, the white one? That is one of our Chocolate chip Epoxy Brads from the Occasions Mini catalog. I just love those little brads! The pack comes with half of the brads being these little flowers and half are Chocolate Chip and white stripes. It’s easy to overlook these on page 13 of the Occasions Mini catalog and since the catalog is only going to be around until the end of April, I want to make sure you don’t miss them!
Of course I also used the Sale-A-Bration Scallop Trim Border Punch, it’s one of my favorite punches! It’s hard to believe this punch and the other Sale-A-Bration times are only going to available for free for just a little longer. If you haven’t gotten your free items yet be sure to contact me soon!
Thank you for stopping by and maybe even leaving a comment! I look forward to stamping with the ladies in Rising Sun, MD this afternoon and I hope they will enjoy making this card along with the others!
I hope you liked the card yesterday because I was still stuck in that same design mode today! I made both a card and a scrapbook page with the very idea I used yesterday
To make this 4×4 card I used the Kind Thoughts Brocade Stencil from the Decor Elements brochure, the En Francais background stamp, Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon and Very Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware.
Family Portrait Scrapbook Page
Here is the scrapbook page I made with the same basic idea as the card. What do you think? This picture is of my parents, my siblings and myself. I’m the cute little one with pigtails! This scrapbook page is for inside my father’s scrapbook that he asked me to make. You can see another page of the scrapbook by following this link to a vintage scrapbook page.
The colors on this scrapbook page page are just a little different from the cards. I used Kraft cardstock as I did with the cards, however, instead of Chocolate Chip I substituted Soft Suede since it coordinated better with the picture.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing these projects, I’m sure you’ll be seeing this stencil again. I’m thinking it would be nice with Bravo Burgundy and maybe a touch of Pretty in Pink . . .
I have a lovely card to share with you today. This is the first time I have used one of our stencils on a card and I love it! The stencil is pictured below the card is the one I used here. This card would be wonderful for either a man or a woman.
En Francais & Wings of Friendship stamp sets
I used Chocolate Chip, Kraft and Very Vanilla as my colors for this card. The stamp sets I used are the En Francais background stamp as well as the Wings of Friendship level 2 hostess set.
So what do you think?
Punch Pal class
Have you signed up for the Punch Pals class yet? Today is the last day to sign up for the class which will take place on March 30 here in Stewartstown, PA. Because the class includes the 5×5 art journal I need to get those ordered to have them in time for class. Please contact me to join the class here in my home or to take the class by mail.
This is one of the cards we made at the Birthday card class Monday evening. We used the cake from the Birthday Bliss stamp set and “happy birthday” from the Happy Moments Sale-A-Bration stamp set. The colors are Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, Rose Red and Gable Green.
Handmade Birthday Card
Here’s a close up of the birthday cake, twine and double stitched Rose Red ribbon. If you look closely you can see that the white cardstock is embossed. This was done with the Stampin’ Up! Backgrounds I texturz plate.
I hope you have enjoyed today’s card. Thank you for visiting!
For some reason cards for guys tend to be the hardest cards for stampers to make (myself included). They just don’t come as easily as the cards with flowers and frills and bling. This is the “guy” card we made in the Birthday Card Class yesterday at the Mason-Dixon library. As with many “masculine” cards, [...]
Here is a simple card we are going to be making at the birthday card class at the Stewartstown, PA library tonight. What I like the most about this card is that it could be given to anyone. I think it could be given to a girl or guy of any age, including children. Don’t [...]
This is a card I’ve been wanting to share with you for a little while now. I just like it so much! Of course you know I love Chocolate chip and it goes so wonderfully with Pretty in Pink and our new Sending Love Specialty DSP.
I made these little flowers with the Boho Blossom Punch [...]
Here are the better pictures that I promised you! This the card I made for the Birthday Card swap last week!
I must admit that the Animal Stories stamp set was not one to strike my fancy until I found out I could get it for free during Sale-A-Bration, then it became more appealing! I don’t [...]
