Valentine Cards

Posted on January 27, 2013 by Diane Payne

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner I thought it would be fun to make some Valentine cards using some of my Vintage Street Market favorites.

To tie into the Valentine’s theme I used X’s and O’s for the Bingo markers on the card. This was a great way to finish up a couple alphabet sets that I couldn’t spell many things with anymore.

The flowers in the shop were the perfect finishing touch for this Valentine’s Day card, which I think would also make a wonderful wedding card.

Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it. Why don’t you grab your favorite Vintage Street Market supplies and whip up a couple cards for your loved ones?… Read the rest

I love to create scrapbooking layouts that capture and document the memories of our lives. By by adding your photos, Vintage Street Market papers and punch outs, you can create some easy and fun embelishments that add some interest to your layouts.

To add interest at the top of the layout, I used paint and Glimmer Mist to recreate the look of dots from the Vintage Street Mark Fun and Games Polka Dot paper.

To create a layered divider for the layout, I used canvas strips, sheer ribbon and topped with Black Twirly Twine.

Ingredients:

Party Games - Paper & Punchouts

Black Twirly Twine

Cardstock, Ribbon, Canvas, Buttons, Paint, Glimmer Mist & Yellow Flowers

I created the flower embellishment, by layering a vintage crocheted piece, heart punches from red foil paper and then gathered a muslin scalloped ribbon and topped it with a button.

I completed the flower by adhering it to the bingo card.

Ingredients:

Family Fun Paper Kit

Bingo Craft Card

Party Games - Red Foil

Red Twirly Twine

Dimestore Vogue – Red Belt Punch Out

Cardstock, Pint, Glimmer Mist, Canvas, Rick Rack, Scalloped Muslin and Vintage Crochet Piece

Hoping these inspire you to create some scrapbooking memories today.

A Banner Day!

With “Love” Month approaching, it’s time to start thinking about those sweet Valentine projects…Shellye with you today to share a quick and easy heart banner and card!

I picked up a package of red heart cut-outs at a local party supply store. They’re very inexpensive and came in a package of 12… plenty of them to create a nice banner. The hearts measure 4″, so if you can’t find something similar at your craft or party supply store, then you could try cutting the shapes with a cutting machine or template.

To begin, I took one of the chipboard hearts and used it to trace the shape onto the back of the red foil papersheet found in the Party Games Collection. Using a tape runner, I attached the foil hearts to the fronts of each red heart.

Next, I used some dark pink letters from my stash to spell out the sentiment :Be Mine. Again, if you don’t have the size of alphabets that you’d like to use, a cutting machine or those poster stencils would also work just as well

I freehanded three hearts from the back of the Pretty & Playful paper found in the Family Fun Paper Kit and then attached with foam dots. Using the small punching element on the Crop-A-Dile, I made two holes at each side of the hearts then tied through some colorful turquoise satin ribbon. Be sure to leave enough length at the ends so that the banner can be hung through the loops. This would also make a fun gift for a teacher!

Next up is a card made adorable with one of the punch-out kids and cut-out dress found in the Family Fun Paper Kit. I always loved dressing paper dolls, so this was a treat!

I started with a plain card that I embossed with a Swiss Dot pattern. I wanted a lot of the embossed pattern to show, so I kept the card design cropped to one of the medium-sized BINGO Craft Cards. I simply attached the dressed girl with foam dots over the center. Next, I added a border of lace trim from my stash.

I trimmed down one of the little labels from the Pink Twirly Twine card and attached it just under the bouquet of flowers. A small bow of Pink Twirly Twine and the card is complete and ready to send to a friend!

Glad you’ve stopped by today! I’ve really enjoyed seeing all of the sweet Valentine’s projects brought to us by the Vintage Street Design Team…I hope you do too ….Shellye… Read the rest

Easy Vintage Pockets

Hi there! Amy checking in for January with two little pockets I sewed (GASP!) using lots of VSM goodies. It’s been a learning process on use my sewing machine but I must admit there is something rewarding about completing a project with machine stitches. I am still to scared to sew any clothing item but these small pockets are super simple and you can even hand stitch if you don’t own a sewing machine. So let’s get started!

First, I used canvas that I cut into long rectangles and simple folded to create my pocket. Yep, it’s that easy. I added pattern paper with a thicker weight because it makes the pocket more sturdy. I used a die cut button with the word friend layered with a vintage gold ribbon underneath. I wrapped lace and twine around the pocket and tied it with a vintage button. I made a little pennant using the ruler print and stapled the corner and added a green flower. I tucked a feather behind for added texture. The last step is to embellish with pearl accents. around “friends”.

The next pocket is the same concept. Except I fussy cut a little girl image, punched a red foil border, and added a red ticket with the word “sweet”. I embellished with photo corners and a metal flower.
