Dimestore Vogue Card

Posted on April 23, 2013 by HBlankenship

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

Ephemera Journal Part II

Julie here again, with more of my ephemera journal to share with you–be warned–there’s LOTS of pages today!

With so many wonderful vintage papers & elements to work with, it was easy to go a little crazy making this little book of mine…

…page after page of vintage fabulousness to write and doodle on…

…or just leave as-is. Maybe I’ll write on it later, maybe not. It’s still fun!

As I said in my last post on my journal, I used ephemera from Vintage Street Market’s Ephemera kits, some of my own that I had on hand, and vintage images found online & printed out–these ladies are great favorites of mine!

Pockets and envelopes were fun to add onto pages…

…even an old manila tag with the string still attached worked it’s way onto one of the pages…

I hope you feel inspired to start a journal of your own–I can’t tell you how much fun you’ll have!

And once you start making your own art journals, you just may never be able to stop!

Hi everyone, Connie here with party invites!!! For the past couple of years my granddaughter hosts a Spring Party~she is 8 years old. All the duties are given out and mine are to make decorations and bring kid treats.

So here are the invitations, for them!!! I used the Bingo Craft cards, Twirly Twine, Tinted Tape and some vintage fusion!!!

I used the Cakewalk~Guest List paper by October Afternoon to make the little fold out invitations. They are taped together with the Tinted Tape. Stay tuned in a couple of weeks I’ll have the rest of the decorations up and all photographed together!! Until then~

Ephemera Journal

I just have to warn you…this will be a bit long today! So much to share, and it’s only half of my little project!

I wanted to do something special this month with all the delicious vintage ephemera available from Vintage Street Market, and I decided to do what I love best–art journal it.

My current passion, art journaling lends itself to many forms–there is no right or wrong when making a journal of your very own–and making one completely out of beautiful, old pieces of paper from the past was just about the most fun I’ve ever had!

Since old ephemera varies in thickness and delicacy, I decided to bolster each page with a good, sturdy piece of cardstock–each 5×7 inches. Then I just covered each and every piece with a variety of vintage pieces…I cut & ripped, pasted & played…

Then, favorite vintage images that I’ve saved on the computer were printed out to add a bit of character to each page–my favorite thing to do.

Then laces, Twirly Twine, buttons and bows were added…

…then the writing, of course! What would a journal be without writing your thoughts, favorite poems & bits of advice?

It doesn’t take much to turn a little book like this into a treasure to keep–something of your very own…

I can’t wait to show you the rest next time!

Hi, Connie here with some Easter goodies with plenty of cuteness added!! I started with this adorable vintage ice cream cup, some vintage ephemera and one pink flower. That was enough to make this cutie~

Perfect Easter decoration! The egg is on a bed of Ivory Tissue Paper. Then I made some cards out of some cool retro bunny paper by Reminisce and added some vintage lace and a button. The cards are 4″ X 4″ a great size to use as table place cards. I used the Tinted Tape on the greeting card.

Here they are all together, waiting for Easter and a party!!! Be sure and stop by the Vintage Street Market store~ it is full of vintage goodies!!
