Bingo Cards three diffrent ways..

Posted on May 8, 2012 by cherry nelson

Happy May to you all! cherry here to share three cards all different but with one similarity..they all use a pantry staple the sweet bingo cards http://store.vintagestreetmarket.com/collections/frontpage.

The first I used some diecuts, a banner and cake diecut, and changed the bingo card into embellishment pieces. I also used some of the papers from the family set http://store.vintagestreetmarket.com/collections/family-fun-collection/products/family-fun-paper-kit that coordinate perfectly with the aqua bingo card. I added a few little bits and bobs from my stash and I was done. The second card is for Mother’s day which is just around the corner. I used more paper from the http://store.vintagestreetmarket.com/collections/family-fun-collection/products/family-fun-paper-kit and a snippet of the multi-use paper from the Dimestore Vogue collection http://store.vintagestreetmarket.com/products/dimestore-vogue. I used my bingo card this time like a button card….I added a vintage button card layered with it and an old needle. I painted a little spool and wrapped some twirley twine around it http://store.vintagestreetmarket.com/collections/twirly-twine. Again all it took was a few little bits and pieces…ribbons, stick pins, and a little tag..and this card was complete.

My last card is my favorite….it uses the gorgeous red bingo card. I tried to make the card look a bit like an old essay journal with the black gingham paper being the “spine”. The bingo cards come in many sizes and this one is a nice large size. I took a chipboard apple and covered it in some adorable checker paper from the Family Fun set http://store.vintagestreetmarket.com/collections/family-fun-collection/products/family-fun-paper-kit. I distressed and inked the apple and adhered it. I added a burlap leaf and a few bits and bobs and of course more twirly twine! I also added a few old vintage button s layered on one of the old dennison labels from one of the vintage kits http://store.vintagestreetmarket.com/collections/vintage-kits. There you have it! The bingo cards are very versatile….cards are just the tip of the iceburg! Have fun with those bingo cards! Thanks as always for letting me share! hugs, cherry

Bingo Craft Card Notebooks

Purse-sized notebooks are simply a must for every purse. There is always a need to jot a reminder, make a grocery list, or of course, notate a craft idea! These notebooks are not only colorful, but simple and super easy to make! Minimal embellishing make these ideal for tossing in a purse.

To make these colorful notebooks, you will need a package of Bingo Craft Cards, a binding machine, spirals, copy paper for filler (or go vintage, with vintage ledger paper!), and cardboard for a backer.

Begin by selecting the Bingo card, then cutting down a piece of cardboard to the same size. Cut down the filler, “note” paper, just slightly smaller than the outer cards.

Insert all pieces centered into the binding machine and punch holes. (If you do not have a binding machine, consider stacking all of the pieces, and punching a hole in the corner of the notebook. Then, insert a ring or tie together with a ribbon. )

Cut spiral to correct length and assemble notebook.

Monochromatic ribbons really add that extra punch of color and texture. Tie them around the entire notebook, and create a bow. Decorate a bit more as a gift by tying a tag (with the recipients name written on it) to the bow with Twirly Twine.

Bingo Craft Card notebooks also make GREAT teacher appreciation gifts! Or, arrange them in a basket as party favors for your next club meeting, or scrappin’ get together. Easy to assemble, cute, practical and thoughtful!

And, take it from me, once you start creating these little gems, it’s hard to stop!

Have a super crafty day!

Beautiful May

Hello, everyone!

The beginning of May always brings such lovely things to mind…the sweetness of flowers on May Day, Mother’s Day…and my anniversary! So many things to celebrate…

My projects this month reflect the first two, at least…

First, a sweet little tussie mussie cone for a bouquet of flowers–a gift for a friend, perhaps…

A paper cone, wrapped with turquoise paper from the “Dimestore Vogue” Paper Sheets and Tags kit, it’s all ready to embellish with whatever strikes your fancy! Here, I encircled it with a chocolatey brown crepe paper ruffle (from the same kit), dotted with Stickles for a bit of glitz. Edging the crepe paper is a circling of pretty aqua tinsel…

…and a simple little tag, also from the “Dimestore Vogue” collection, complete with a bit of pink Twirly Twine & a single flocked, vintage posy…

Next, a pretty little powder puff…a vintage puff found in a lovely aqua powder box I bought at an antiques shop last year…altered just a little bit for a Mother’s Day gift…

I used the Mother tag from the “Family Fun” Paper Kit, a sewing tag from the “Dimestore Vogue” kit, edged with a bit of Stickles, a vintage mother-of-pearl button & more pretty vintage posies & tied it all together with a pink Twirly Twine bow…

And last, but certainly not least, a little tribute to my beautiful mother…

Her one and only “glamor shot” was the focal point for my little layout. Paper from the “Family Fun” kit, a bit of the beautiful aqua foil sheet (one of my favorite things!), again from “Dimestore Vogue“, a border of vintage mother-of-pearl buttons…

…and a pretty little rosette made with the chocolate brown crepe paper from the “Dimestore Vogue” kit, topped with a “button” from the same…some seam binding & Twisty Twine finish it off, along with a little tag using the pink sheet also from the “Dimestore Vogue” kit…and that’s about it!

Wishing you many beautiful & inspiring May days this month!

Julie

Bingo Banner!

Happy Bingo Craft Card month!

We are so excited to show you the MANY ways to use this colorfully diverse product! Did you know there are 14 Bingo Craft Cards per package? All different sizes and colors, and made of SUPER THICK cardstock. Thick enough to make unsupported projects like this banner.

Just one package of Bingo Craft Cards created this super fun, festive banner! To begin, cut down the larger cards into triangles-as simple as finding the center and cutting on the diagonal with your paper cutter.

I edged this smaller triangle with Soot Tinted Tape for some extra definition, then layered on some extra embellies from the Party Games paper kit.

Crepe fringe from the Party Games paper kit also adds some extra texture! And Twirly Twine for some extra color. Can never have enough color!

More layering-this time accordion folding a strip of the red foil Paper Sheet into a circle.

Decorating the Bingo Craft Card pennants was such fun, and work great tied together with Twirly Twine for a banner. Just another way to use Bingo Craft Cards! Try using them in your next project!

The printable recipe card for this project can be found HERE.
