Trick or Treat!
Fall is here and with fall comes Halloween! I love all things fall and thought it would be fun to showcase some of the new Halloween goodies in the shop.
One of my favorites is the vintage Halloween Crepe Paper Fringe in the shop, which inspired this treat cone.
Using my Silhouette Cameo I cut the cone shape and attached black twill for the handle. I glued the Halloween Crepe Fringe around the top and embellished the center with patterned paper, Halloween flair and bats covered with Black Diamond Stickles. This is the perfect treat when filled with candy.
I also made a Halloween card which came together quickly using left over pieces of fringed crepe and patterned paper.
This card came together quickly and will be perfect along with a little treat for someone special.
Happy fall…enjoy the cooler weather and I’ll see you next month!… Read the rest
Sunday Swing
Monday Greetings, all! Shellye here with a layout and cool Halloween hanging to share with you today.
I love the new papers that can be found under the “Garden” section of the Vintage Street Market Shop. I paired up the pretty print, Engraved Garden by K&CO with the Farmhouse-Sunday Dinner and Pretty Party-Planner by Crate Paper…I think it coordinates beautifully!
I also used an Olive Paper Bloom by Kaisercraft, as well as a couple of paper blooms from my stash. I slipped in a scrap of paper behind two of the Metal Label Holders and used the Making Memories Alpha Stickers to play out my description. The sweet vintage-inspired cut-out cherubs sheet can also be found HERE at VSM!
I used a couple of different sizes from the Lifestyle Crafts Lace Nesting Dies to give the layout more interest, texture…and plus I just think they’re fun!
A couple of old buttons, chip letters and some twine from my stash completes the page.
Halloween fun ALERT! Let me say that I have had sooo much fun crafting with the assortment of vintagey Halloween goodies from Vintage Street! I adore anything that replicates the Halloweens of yesteryear…the Happy Haunting- Halloween Greetings from Graphic 45? Just perfect for making-up cool little wall-hangings or tree ornaments or gift tags…lots of possibilities!
For the base, I used a chipboard page from a Maya Road album, painted it black and then glittered. I added the cut-out with foam tape and then trimmed it with aqua tinsel.
I found a few fabric flowers in my stash and added those to the bottom, along with a couple of vintage tickets hosting “Happy Halloween” using Making Memories Alpha Stickers. For the hanger, just string through a bit of black twill and you’re set!
That’s all from me today…hope you have a wonderful week!

Back to School Card & Boo Halloween Card
Hello! Heidi here, and I have a couple of cards to share with you today.
The first card is a back to school card to celebrate the first day. I know several schools have been in session for a couple of weeks but some of the schools around here are just starting back.
This card could be for a teacher or a child. The papers I used are from Cosmo Cricket Odds & Ends.
To create the sentiment I used a vintage number block and tiny alpha stickers.
I added some red mini pom-pom trim, aqua ric-rac and a white seam binding bow at the bottom of the card. I also added some red twirly twine and a Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Memo Stick Pins. The numbers are from the same pattern paper.
I also used one of the vintage flash cards.
For my second project I designed a fun Halloween card. I used Graphic 45 Happy Haunting papers.
I added a web and spider in the upper corner and I used black jellie dots for the eyes–they make great eyes for this little creepy crawler.
I fussy cut the little Halloween image and then added some diamond stickles for a little sparkle. I used a Spellbinders die to create the label from the Family Fun -Meghan Kay Paper. Then I added ribbon and layered the pieces. I added leaf die cuts, a little BOO tag with a Making Memories Garment Pin and some bling.
I hope you enjoyed the cards I shared with you. Thank you so much for stopping by the Vintage Street Market Blog today!
Hugs,
Heidi

An oddball pairing..
Hi! Cherry here, and I have an oddball pairing for you today. I say oddball because they are completely different projects….. I have a sweet “vintagey” plaque perfect for a friend! It uses the bingo cards, twirly twine, crate paper toy box, stick pins , and garment pins along with a sweet diecut from the Dimestore Vogue.
The other project is a fun little treat bag all gussied up for Halloween. I have used the bingo cards again, the polka dot Meghan Kay paper from the family fun kit, and more twirly twine. I also used a sweet paper buckle diecut from Dimestore Vogue.
have a good weekend,
Cherry
A Mini Halloween!
Happy Friday! Shellye here with a little Halloween mini to share with you today. I have to tell you that I absolutely cannot wait until September 1st: yes, I will have my Halloween decorations out and about. And since I decorate early for Christmas, I get a good 2 and a half months out of my Fall decorations 
I’m in love with all of the replicated vintage wares such as black cats, owls and jack ‘o lanterns…black cats are at the top of my list though!
You probably know this, but Vintage Street Market has a new assortment of beautiful Halloween-themed papers by Graphic 45, Echo Park and Making Memories. These papers were the base for the pages of the album that I created:
I cut one of the little card motifs from the Happy Haunting paper and attached it to the front with foam dots. I then outlined it with Aqua Twirly Twine. For the embellishments I used the Sky Blue Paper Flowers (glittered in aqua), vintage buttons and a bit of yummy Black Crepe Paper Fringe. Onto the rings (holding the pages together) I tied on a few different ribbons, Trick or Treat Seam Binding and Aqua Tinsel (which I adore). And don’t throw out those cute cupcake picks…save them for your paper projects as I did with the handsome bat peeking from beyond the fringe
Below is a look at the inner pages of the album…I will point out all of the lovely things that you can purchase directly from Vintage Street Market!
I hand-cut the little trick or treaters from one of the vintage Treat Bags offered by VSM and attached it to the paper with a glue pen. I also embellished with Vintage Tickets, a bit of aqua crepe that I cut into fringe, an old playing card and bingo piece all found at Vintage Street Market.
Again, I cut one of the cards from the Happy Haunting paper and used it as a journal spot. A bit of glittery orange Ric Rac peeks out from under the aqua trim.
I love little alpha stickers…they come in so handy! Here I’ve used them on both pages, along with another cut-out from the vintage treat sack. And there’s another cupcake pick (handily applied with a glue dot).
After completing the pages to my albums (most especially those with chipboard bases), I like to trim the edges with twine, in this case Black Twirly Twine. I have found that the best way to attach the twine to the often thin chipboard edge is to use a Ballpoint-Tip Glue Pen. With all of that, we have a sweet mini that we can display our 2012 Halloween photos in…I just can’t wait
Please let me know if you have any questions about this project!
Have a happy weekend
Shellye
