Celebrate Your Day

April is here!  I am starting see floral blooms and patches of green grass.  The birds are out making nests and I hope to see a few nests with little babies soon.

My card for today is for my Mom’s birthday next week.  I love mixing vintage ephemera with new products.

I created a pocket with tag for the front.  I then used a flashcard for the sentiment.  The pennant was created from red foil and a vintage ticket is inserted in the photo slide.  I hope you like!

Wishing my Mom a wonderful birthday!

Happy Spring!

Easter Wishes

Hey all!  Amy here and I am back as promised with an altered Easter project to share.  I started with a vintage ice cream cup and then began building.

I added tissue paper garland around the edges then layered tinsel garland with aqua Twirly Twine on top.  Next I used May Arts red twill stripes ribbon to make a bow and then added two paper flowers.    I added a vintage bingo marker for the center.

 

For the banner, I painted wooden skewers and attached handmade finials from beads.  I tied aqua Twirly Twine to the skewers and then added three red foil triangles from Party Games Paper Sheets and Tags.  Next, I punched holes in a fare ticket stub and added to the right skewer.  I then used a sticker sentiment backed on a Jillibean pattern paper.  I attached the skewers to the inside of the cup with tape.

I love the way it came out and especially like that it is not the traditional colors of Spring.  I challenged myself with that for a bit. Finally I filled my cup with a little Easter grass and a pale blue egg.  I think these cups are perfect for birthdays, other holidays, or even a special pick me up.  I hope this inspires you!

Happy Easter Sweet Treats

Hello everyone!  Heidi, here today and I have a sweet little treat to share with you.

 Easter is right around the corner and I altered a clear box and added some pastel M&M’s for a perfect little gift.  I wrapped the clear box with light blue seam binding and small rosette trim.  Then I fussy cut the card with the little lamb from the Crate Paper Little Boy Blue paper collection and I added some fruit punch stickles to the bow.  Then I added a pink paper flower with some stickles, a vintage button and Pink Twirly Twine.

Next I added a light blue seam binding bow and a handmade stickpin.

Then I fussy cut one of the tags from the Pink Twirly Twine packet.  To create the second tag I used the pink pattern paper from the Dimestore Vogue Paper Sheets & Tags collection and then I added the tiny alpha stickers to spell Easter.

Thank you so much for stopping by the Vintage Street Market Blog today!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hugs,

Heidi

Bunnies and Bows

Happy March to you!  I am delighted to share with you a new card I made featuring new items paired with a few pantry staples.

This card features a Bingo card and a few items from the new Retro Easter Kit.  I sewed a distressed floral pattern print paper to the front of a cream card base.  Next I cut out the adorable bunnies, added glitter glass to the edges, and popped up on the Bingo card with dimensionals.  I threaded the stripe ribbon through and made a bow accented with another bow from the pink Twirly Twine and a pink button from my collection.  I then tucked the vintage green ticket under to complete.

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
