Mother, Father and Brother!

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Shellye McDaniel

Good Thursday Greetings, Vintage Street fans! Shellye here with a couple of things to share today. First though, I hope that all of you moms had a wonderful Mother’s Day! I ended up working the entire weekend (nights), but got to witness many new moms celebrating their ‘first’ Mother’s Day…sweet!

MOTHER

Here is the card that I made for my very own mom:

I used the Paper Sheets & Tags from Dimestore Vogue and punched the leaves out from the green paper of the same collection. The patterned paper and “Mother” punch-out are from the Family Fashion Accessory Kit. From my stash I used a reproduction vintage button, adhesive pearls, ribbon and paper doily. The “for you” tag is from the Denim Twirly Twine packet. Tip: for a real leaf look, just fold the punched leave in half and give a little crease

FATHER and BROTHER

My oldest son had Senior Prom a couple of weeks ago and I just love this picture of the hubby and our two boys! I decided to create a little stand-up collage showcasing the photo.

First, I stared with a 4×7 sheet of chipboard and covered it with the notebook paper from the back of Distinguished Dad (Family Fun Paper Kit). I then began the collage process by layering on (and machine stitching as I went) an X-Large and Medium BINGO Craft Cards. I also used the journal insert from the Aqua Twirly Twine as a mat for the smaller BINGO card. I wanted to break up all of the ‘blues’ so I added the ‘happiness’ tag from the Vintage Vogue Collection, as well as the adorable ‘Family’ punch-out from the Family Fashion Accessory Kit. For the fun pennant, I took two vintage tickets and folded them in half and then glued around a bamboo skewer. I attached the ‘Brother’ pennant (from Family Fashion Accessory Kit) to the top and then the ticket pennant below that with letter stickers spelling out DAD. I glued the skewer alongside the photo and tied a bit of Aqua Twirly Twine as an accent. Finally, for the back, I folded a strip of chipboard and glued it into place. TIP: when creating a collage, keep an assortment of thick and thin foam dots on hand…this makes each of your layers stand out and SHINE!

Hope you enjoyed the projects…see you all next month!

Bingo Happiness!

Hey there! Amy here checking in for the month May with lots of Bingo creations. I adore these cards because they are printed on a thick card stock in a variety of sizes and colors. Each pack has 14 vintage inspired bingo cards, plus they are on sale for the month of May! You can find them here.

My projects are whimsical with lots of Vintage Street Market goodies that I hope you enjoy!
First up is a tag I created with masculine appeal. It will work nicely for Father’s day!

I stitched around a panel of Family Fun’s Captain Jack stripe and then layered a Bingo Craft Card. Next I wrapped a piece of black Twirly Twine and tied a bow. I added a “For You” ticket included with every Twirly Twine package and a cream crochet flower with a denim brad. A piece of the “Aged” Tinted Tape along the bottom with some threaded buttons to complete the tag.

My next project is a card to celebrate my daughter’s fabulous report card!

I love the red print of Meghan Kay from the Family Fun kit and here I have matted a panel of it to a card base to start. Next I trimmed a piece of the Distinguished Dad also from the Family Fun set. I cut a little polka dot pennant from the other side of Meghan Kay, which I stapled to the card front and added a brown Twirly Twine “Celebrate” ticket. I hand cut a star from a Bingo Craft Card which sits a top a report card die cut that is wrapped in brown Twirly Twine. I also added a glittered star chipboard piece with a little blue threaded button. I stamped my sentiment, added a light blue photo corner to the bottom right corner, and embellished with a red bingo marker to finish.

My final creation is an altered frame I also created for my daughter.

The frame was covered in Family Fun’s Marshall Matthew (don’t you love this name!) red gingham print. Then let the layering begin! I created mini vignettes if you will with Bingo Craft cards. The purple Bingo card is wrapped in black Twirly Twine and cut out the little girl from the Family Fun set. I embellished with a mini letter card, paper flower, red bingo marker (16 for my daughter’s age), a small piece of lace, and a strip of vintage 16mm film.

The black Bingo Craft Card has a brown Twirly Twine ticker attached with foam dots for dimension. Then I added a few paper flowers with embellishments.

Last step was adding a few pieces of the “Numbers” Tinted Tape.

I hope you like what I have shared today and please pop on over to the store to see the newest items and find out about our giveaways and discounts! See you next month!

Garden Fresh & Bingo Cards…

My projects for this month are all about everything green & growing!

First up, another great Bingo Card idea…the thick weight of these awesome bingo cards make them perfect for all sorts of stand-alone & altered projects! Using a large green bingo card, I made this home-gardening checklist for my kids’ summer chores.

The thickness of the card allows it to easily stand on the counter by my children’s gardening supplies, using just a binder clip.

Besides the Bingo Card, other supplies include: Twirly Twine twine & note card, Family Fun paper & punch-outs, and Tinted Tape in Soot.

Up next, a layout featuring another garden-fresh Bingo Card idea:

Using foam adhesive & small Bingo Cards, I created a fun, layered dimensional title for my layout. They really make a great background for the large letter stickers, and add a lot of interest to the page.

Using more Soot Tinted Tape & Family Fun papers + punch-outs, I was able to create a fresh, fun look for this page.

Lastly, another Garden-themed layout…my little one really loves her vegetables & fruits!

With this project, I added a fun strip of Family Fun images, with embossed foil accents using the red foil from the Party Games collection. I also added some of the adorable little tickets from the red Twirly Twine set.

Notice the little journaling ticket? I cut that out of the back of the Party Games packaging, added some tape to cover the existing words, and wrote my own journaling with a glossy-surface black pen!

Hopefully you’ve enjoyed these Garden-Fresh ideas…and are also enjoying a beautiful Mother’s Day weekend!

Thanks so much for stopping by…

Bingo Pocket Card ~ Marshall Matthew mini wall hanging ~ Bingo Necklace

Hello everyone! For the month of May at VSM it’s all about Bingo Craft Cards. I have three projects to share with you today using the Bingo Craft Cards.

For my first project I designed a Bingo pocket card. I cut a piece from a glassine bag to fit the front of the Bingo card and I sewed along the two sides and the bottom to create a pocket.

Here is a close up of the stitching.

Then I made some die cuts using Spellbinders die templates. I die cut a pink scalloped border, a white label and a pink ticket. Next I fussy cut one of the tickets from the Pink Twirly Twine. Then I wrapped some of the Pink Twirly Twine around the card, layered the die cuts and added a few flowers, leaves and a couple of seed packets.

For my second project I designed a Marshall Matthew mini wall hanging. This would be perfect for a little boys room.

I used Aged Tinted Tape to edge the Bingo Craft Card. Then I fussy cut the clothing cut out from the Brother paper in the Family Fun Set Paper Kit and applied the clothes to the Brother paper die cut doll and added it to the side of the Bingo card. I used the Brown Twirly Twine to create a little lasso.

To create the stars I used the Marshall Matthew Pattern Paper from the Family Fun Set and a Spellbinders die template. Then I scored the stars and inked the edges to add more dimension.

For my last project I designed a fun little Bingo necklace using one of the small Bingo Craft Cards.

I used a circle punch and layered two half circles so the word Bingo could be in the center. I added some glitter and bling and then I covered the entire piece with Glossy Accents.
