Hearts on my mind

Happy February to you!   I know Valentine’s Day was a few days ago, but I am still in the heart mood so today’s projects have a heart on them.

I started with a mini album.  I die cut a large scallop heart from chipboard and covered with pattern paper.  I painted and inked the edges for a distressed look.  I turned the heart upside down  and scored the point of the heart to make into an album.

For the front, I cut an oval in the glassine bag and then added a manila tag to tuck inside.  I punched a heart from the stripe print and added the vintage dictionary paper behind it.  I then inked a small bingo card and cut a sentiment from the pattern paper for the top.  The tiny heart in the center is the red foil from the Party Games that I punched out.  I added a button with Twirly Twine and a few rhinestones to complete.

I added six pages inside using the “Stack the Deck” technique.  I added Velcro tabs to secure the album.

For the pages, I added various pattern papers listed below along with a fabric scraps.  I continued the tiny sentiment theme inside on each page.  I also added Soot Tinted Tape on many of the pages.

For the inside cover, I painted, distressed, and stamped a heart.  I outlined the hearts with black marker.

Items used for this project:

Next I made a card.  I stitched many layers together to create this.  I punched a heart from the bingo card and layered a pattern print behind.  I layered with a decorative button tied with Twirly Twine and accented with a red pearl.  I cut the tiny sentiment from the pattern paper and added to a journal tab.

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!

Vintage Valentine

Hello, Heidi here today and I have a couple of Valentine cards to share with you using some of the wonderful VSM products.

Here is the first card that I designed.  I used one of the Bingo Craft Cards for the background.  I added a piece of a paper doily in the bottom corner and stamped a sentiment.  Then I inked the edges for the Bingo Craft Card and added the ribbon.  Using one of the Making Memories Garment Pins I added a Making Memories Chandelier Beads Noel and pinned that to the ribbon.

Next I used a mini heart punch to punch out some hearts with the red foil from the Party Games Paper Sheets & Tags collection.  I glued the red foil hearts in place, added the lady die cut and the peral heart.

To finish off the card I added some cotton candy Stickles to the dress, hat and shoes on the lady die cut.

This is the second card that I designed and for this one I used a sweet vintage Valentine image from the The Graphics Fairy.

I used die templates from Spellbinders to create all of the die cuts and then I layered them using 3D foam squares in between the layers.  For the background I used some of the red foil from the Party Games Paper Sheets & Tags collection.  I love this red foil!  It can be used for so many different occassions.

To finish of the card I added mulberry paper roses and then for a little sparkle I added Ranger Icicle Stickles to the image and the roses.

Valentine Treats!

This weekend, I am attending a ladies Valentine tea party. It is always such a fun time, and this year I thought it would be even more fun to give all of the attendees a Valentine, but one that is not loaded in calories! Using the Valentine Creativity Kit, and my handy Zutter, I created mini Bingo card notebooks and embellished them Valentine style.

This notebook was embellished with scraps of Fancy Pants’ Vintage Valentine and Making Memories Je t’adore Heart Doilies cardstock. Platinum Stickles and vintage red ribbon finishes it off.

 

This sweet clown image was also trimmed from the Fancy Pants cardstock. A vintage ticket, book paper heart and a sparkly cupid complete the collage, and a bow of May Arts lace and Making Memories Gem Pin tops it!

These were so fun to make and really came together quickly, considering there were 14 to make! Now, for the hostesses…

I purchased pretty soaps and packaged them in sheer organdy drawstring bags. May Arts ribbon and Making Memories roses embellish the bags nicely.

Are you running short of time, but would like something hand-crafted for Valentine’s Day? Be sure to visit the new section of our online store-the Vintage Gift Market. You can find it HERE, and more will be added soon, so check back often!

Looking forward to the tea!

Have a great rest of the week,

Michelle

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
