I’m a garage sale addict–I admit it!  “Junkin’”, my girls & I call it.  Treasures galore just waiting to be found–and on one Saturday morning, a stack of old ’45′s came home with me…and one of them found itself turned into a gift this week…

A sweet paper doll was given a dress made of chocolately crepe paper.  Flowers in her hand, she sits on the little old ’45 whose center has been newly covered with gorgeous aqua foil paper & a vintage “buckle”. Easy peasy & oh, so much fun!

Supplies:

Family Fun Kit, Dimestore Vogue Paper Sheets & Tags Kit, Platinum Stickles,  Twirly Twine,  Ribbon

Hello everyone!  Heidi, here today and I have a card to share with you using paper from the Family Fun Set Paper Kit Meghan Kay Paper, tags from Dimestore Vogue Paper Sheets & Tags and some fun embellishments.

For the card base I used pink lemonade cardstock.  Then I used the pink pattern paper from Family Fun Set Paper Kit Meghan Kay Paper and Sheet Music along with the S5-131 A2 Matting Basics A and S5-132 A2 Matting Basics B die templates to create the matts.  Then I added the pink oval die cut, tag and tickets using 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

For the top part of the card I added some crochet lace trim and pink ric rac from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Then I added the Making Memories Garment Pin with a gem drop and some pearls.

For the bottom part of the card I added a blue crochet flower, pink mulberry flowers, buttons and some pearls.

Thank you so much for stopping by the VSM Blog today!  Don’t forget to hop on over to the Store and check out all of the vintage goodies!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hugs,

Heidi

Hi everyone~ Connie here!!!  I have been enjoying creating. I’m a little early for Easter but I had the perfect pictures so I went for it!!!

I used the Family Fun paper ,  Bingo Craft cards, Twirly Twine, Tinted Tape (soot)~all of these can be found here.   The exclusive Vintage Street Market’s ephemera and buttons were also added.

This layout is using the same ingredients as the one above.  I wish you could have seen this bonnet in person.  All my granddaughter’s idea.  She used a coffee filter to make the bonnet~so cute and so crafty!!!!  She was quite proud of herself:):)

I love using the ephemera from the Vintage Street Market store!!  I love the look it gives a layout ~mixing old with new!!   Thanks for stopping by today!!! by: C. Mercer… Read the rest

With Love…

Along with love, flowers, chocolates, and all those wonderful joys that festive February brings…it always brings out the desire in me to create with vintage supplies.  Vintage doilies, sewing patterns, foil, cupcake liners, & postcards top my crafty list this month…what about you?

Up first this month, a retro-vibe card…Hooray! (for love, that is):

I love to accent with black for Valentine’s Day, and this go-to polka-dot paper from Family Fun, along with the Tinted Tape in Soot, & black twill, are just the ticket.

Word bubbles are all the rage these days, so I made one here with some vellum, and a sentiment & image from Party Games & Dimestore Vogue.

Love notes & treats are essentials for my kids this month, so I made this heart-pouch filled with treats, to hang on the doorknob when they return home from school on Valentine’s Day:

For this candy-themed project, I used some great paper & trims from the Sewing Room section of the VSM store, along with foil & imagery from the Party Games collection.

May your February be filled with sweetness!

Sweet Valentines

I don’t know about you, but every time I see a sweet silhouette–especially a Valentine–my heart goes pitter-pat…

I cut a little silhouette with my Cricut, then added all kinds of sweet Vintage Street Market elements…and had so much fun doing it!

A vintage bingo card made a wonderful base…a bit of vintage measuring tape, left-over from another project was just the thing for a border…an adorable pink ticket, ribbon, Twirly Twine…and we can’t forget the fabulous cherry red glass glitter!  {another thing that makes my heart go all-aflutter!}  A couple of perfect vintage red buttons from my old button jars, and that’s it!

My next project, again using a bingo card {they’re just so much fun to use!}–

…a little page just for my sweet Mother.  A Valentine from me to her.  My Mother always inspires me, and always will.  Here again, while looking through some old family photos the other day, this adorable little school days picture jumps out at me–and there she is, with hearts on her jumper–what could be more perfect?!

…topped of with some wonderful printed cardstock, a few old papers here and there, a little outlining with Platinum Stickles, a bit of lovely seam binding, Twirly Twine & just a few of my favorite old millinery flowers to finish it off.

Easy peasy.

Hope you have fun making sweet things for your sweethearts this Valentine season!

Julie
