Blank Vintage

Recently I put together some blank cards for a customer using pinks and grays.  For this one, I chose to use some Frosted Floral specialty designer series paper and Tropical Escape designer series paper in the background. 

I stamped the flower image from the Very Vintage hostess stamp set on the card base with Powder Pink ink and also stamped the same image on Whisper White and punched it out.  The partial doily image from the same stamp set was added with Gray Granite ink to the punched out circle as well.

To accent the layers, I used some sprigs punched out from Old Olive card stock, basic rhinestones and a punched out Starburst circle.

Supplies:

Very Vintage (hostess)

Powder Pink, Gray Granite ink

Gray Granite, Whisper White, Powder Pink card stock

In color doilies

Sprig Punch

Love and Sympathy

This card uses several of the same elements as the card I shared with you yesterday - Itty Bitty Greetings, Stitched Labels framelits and Frosted floral specialty paper...

I used a different stitched label die cut and stamped an image from the hostess set called Very Vintage in Gray Granite ink on it.  The sentiment is stamped with Tranquil Tide and I used a leaf stamp from the Painted Harvest stamp set on the background.

Very Vintage (hostess), Itty Bitty Greetings, Painted Harvest

Celebrating

The color combination on this card might be a little odd...I think it works out ok though.  For the base I chose Crumb Cake and then layered some Country Lane designer series paper over a piece of Granny Apple Green (that is the odd one in the combination...).  The die cut is Gray Granite and of course the sentiment is Whisper White.

The Stitched Shapes circle is stamped using the hostess set called Very Vintage and the sentiment is from a retired stamp set and stamped with Old Olive ink.

Dear Friend

Today I have another friend card using the Very Vintage hostess stamp set.  For this one, I used a Crumb Cake base and added a piece of Country Lane designer series paper along with a die cut leaf from the Seasonal Layers thinlits collection.

My sentiment is stamped on a piece from the Share what you love embellishments collection and the pearls are from a Paper Pumpkin kit.  Over the middle of the doily, I added a starburst punched out of Early Espresso card stock.

Vintage Special Day

I think my favorite stamp in the Very Vintage (hostess) stamp set if the doily image and I have used it quite a bit lately.  On this card, I inked it with Crumb Cake and then stamped off on some grid paper before stamping on the card stock to lighten it up a bit.

The die cut comes from the Stitched Labels framelits which coordinates with the Stitched all Around stamp set, the set from which my sentiment comes.  I also added a couple different patterns of Tranquil Textures designer series paper.  Are you ready for me to use a different package of designer series paper yet?  LOL!

Stitched All Around, Very Vintage

Mother's Day

While we have passed Mother's Day on the calendar, I wanted to share the card I gave my mom this year since it uses some new catalog products.  

The focus of the card is the stamp set called Very Vintage which is a hostess set.  I stamped the flower image with Crumb Cake ink and the doilies with Pool Party ink.  There is some Tranquil Textures designer series paper in the background as well as a white doily.

The accents are called faceted dots and are cut like the rhinestones and are self adhesive.  There is also a little bit of lace trim and linen thread to finish off the card.

Supplies:

Very Vintage, Itty Bitty Greetings

Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Night of Navy ink
