Dressed Up Vintage Card

 

Because I love vintage, I had to have at least one vintage card project for my May stamp camp.  This card uses the retiring First Edition Specialty Paper which I am very sad to see retiring!  While this paper has already sold out, there are still many beautiful Stampin' Up!  Designer Series Papers available.  If you would like to purchase any retiring items before the end of May, please visit My Online Store  and click on the Shop Now  button and have the items shipped directly to your home at the preferred price!

 

INSRUCTIONS:

Fold a piece of  8-1/2” x 5-1/2” Very Vanilla (101650) card stock in half for card.  Set aside.

Emboss a piece of 5-1/4 x 4” Very Vanilla card stock using the Stripes Embossing Folder (123128).

Adhere a  4” x 2” piece of First Edition Specialty Paper (121878) to the bottom of the embossed piece.  Add a strip of  5/8” Victorian Crochet Trim (118481). 

Cut a White Tea Lace Paper Doily (129399) in half and add to the left side of the card stock. 

Using Soft Suede (126978 ) Classic Ink, lightly sponge around the edge of the card.  This will give your card a vintage look.  You are now ready to adhere this piece to the front of the card.

Emboss a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper (124005) with the oval Designer Frames Folder (123130) and cut it out.  Adhere it to the right side of the card for a “mirror.”

Cut out a dress frame using the Dress Up Framelits Dies (130101).  Cut out a designer print dress with the framelits die.  Adhere frame and dress to front of card. 

To finish the card adhere a flower cut from the Vanilla Flower Trim (126869).

Petite Pocket Gift Tag

We had so much fun yesterday at my montly Stamp Camp.  We bid farewell to lots of great stamp sets by making some cute cards and gift tags.  There were doorprizes and gifts for everyone who attended.  And the gals were sent home with the new 2013-14 Stampin' Up!

A Last Farewell to Elements of Style

One of my favorite stamp sets is Elements of Style (118611-wood, 120045) but alas, we are going to have to say goodbye to it soon.  It is one of the stamp sets Stampin' Up! is retiring at the end of the month to make room for the new stamp sets.  I thought I would feature a swap Margo Richardson  made for the St. Louis Regional Conference using this set.

A little Tea Shoppe and French Foliage

This beautiful card was designed by Margaret Brunier for a recent swap.  She used the Tea Shoppe (125545-wood, 125547-clear) stamp set.  She also used French Foliage (120845-wood, 121166-clear) and the Mixed Bunch (125535-wood, 125537-clear) stamp sets on her card.  I am so sad that both the Tea Shoppe stamp set and the French Foliage set are retiring at the end of this month.  If you would like either set, then hurry to My Online Store and click on the Shop Now  button to order these today!

Best of Flowers Friend Card

This pretty swap was designed by Kristi Mansur and features one of the flowers from the Best of Flowers (133342) stamp set.  Kristi  also used the Labels Collection Framelits to layer her stamped image.  What a pretty card to send to a friend for just about any occasion!  If you would like to purchase this stamp set, visit My Online Store and click on the Shop Now  button!

 

With spring comes green grass, blue skies, and of course flowers! Then what could be better for one of the Stampin' Up! “Best Of” sets than a collection of the best flower stamps from the past quarter-century?  This set also includes a never-before-seen flower image that coordinates perfectly with the 1-1/4" Scallop Circle punch.

Oh, Hello Card

  

What a pretty way to say hello to someone special!  This cute card was a swap designed by Julie Dilley.  Julie used the Oh, Hello (130730-wood, 130733-clear) stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog.  On the back of her swap Julie listed the items she used for this card.  I love when demonstrators do this because it makes it much easier than trying to guess what items and colors were used!
