Vintage Cards – A Stamping Journey

It was a long weekend here for us this weekend. With a little extra time and for something fun we had a different kind of challenge on my Facebook group. I got the group members to design my next card. Twice on Saturday and then on Sunday I set a Poll with different categories for the card each time. There were 4 different options in each category and they could vote on it. The categories were Stamp sets to use, Colour Collection, Style and shape that must be on it.

The end result was that the stamp set New Wonders was chosen using Subtles colours. It was to be in Vintage style (which is not one I do much of) and it had to have a oval on it. So do you want to see the card??

I was happy that this set was chosen as I have been using this a bit lately – and it is a bit sweet. 🙂 I posted some cards yesterday here on my blog. Head back a post if you missed it. I think I pulled the vintage style off ok as it is not my usual style. I used a little distressing and a little sponging.

When I put together a card from scratch myself I often turn to card sketches to help. This one was based on this Sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #251.

Have you joined my Facebook group yet?? Head -> HERE and ask to join.

Thanks for visiting me.

I can’t believe how fast Sale-A-Bration has flown by. Only 10 days left. How can that be!!! There is still so many wonderful products I haven’t played with yet!! This is one card I created the other day. Yes, I have CASED Shelli! I first found this card on the U.S. Stampin’ Up! Website. You can find the card here on Shelli’s Blog. Here is my version.

I don’t think mine is as good as Shelli’s. I used Crumb Cake instead of Sahara Sand and I think the DSP pennant at the bottom is not right. I love the way there is that little strip of embossing using the Vine Embossing Folder along the bottom of the White tag though. There is lots of Sale-A-Bration goodies on this card: Vintage Verses and Madison Avenue Stamp Sets. The Sycamore Street DSP, Vine Embossing Folder, Pool Party ribbon and button. All on one card. I couldn’t have come up with so many of these on the one card, so Thanks Shelli!!!

Just before I go, have you checked out the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue yet?? There is a link in the Right Hand side bar so head over there now to check it out if you haven’t already. There are Free Stampin’ Up! products for you as a Customer, a Hostess and/or as a new member to our Stampin’ Up! Family. You can’t miss it out. So hurry up time is running out!! If you want more details then head over here to an earlier post I did and that will fill you in on all the details. There might not be a lot of time left for an In-Home workshop but did you know you can have a Catalogue Party. Pass the Catalogue around to your friends and collect their orders. If they total $300 or more you still receive all the wonderful Free products that you would have for a $300 party. How cool is that!!! So come on, pass the Catalogue around to your friends and get back to me- very soon though!!

Thanks for stopping by. It is nice to have you visit. I look forward to you visiting again soon.
