Newsprint Amour…

By far, my favorite new line in the entire new catalog is the "Vintage Suite" line. You can get an overview on pages 124 and 125 of the new catalog. Here is a card I created using some products from this line!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• Stampin' Up! describes the "Vintage Suite" line the following way…
  • Aged, Typographical Art
  • Weathered, Antiqued Paper Designs
  • Tools to Distress
  • Accents to Embellish
  • Basic Color Palette
  • For Cards, Pages and Decor
• You're going to be seeing this line a LOT from me, because I find it just delicious! On this card, I've used the Newsprint Designer Series Paper and Antique Brads to create the overall tone for the card.
• I'm not sure that I've ever created a card so simplistic in it's color choices! But it works. I just love how crisp simple usage of black and vanilla is. I did throw in some Crumb Cake for another neutral addition.
• To make this wide striped grosgrain ribbon narrow, I just folded it in half!

WHAT TO ORDER:

Artistic Etchings Stamp Set (Wood – 118517, Clear – 120573), Newsprint Designer Series Paper (117166), Antique Brads (117273), Crumb Cake Cardstock (121043), Basic Black Cardstock (121045), Basic Black Classic Ink (101179), Very Vanilla Cardstock (101650) and Basic Black 1 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (115615)

Happy Birthday to Mom!

Finally!! I can share my mom's Birthday gift with all of you!!! Her Birthday is the same as mine, January 17th, but our family Birthday party just kept getting pushed back and back, finally we got together yesterday to celebrate January & February Birthdays so she's received it and I can share it!

First, here is the card:

And a close up of the card…

Then here is the box for her gift that I made to match the card:

And a look at the Simply Adorned Bracelet & Charms!

A close up of this side of the charms…

The charms are reversible, here is the other side!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• This set is ALL about vintage stamping!! Shelli gave a Vintage Stamping Presentation and Leadership and I fell in love… ever since, I've been ALL over it! In fact, I'm going to be teaching a Vintage Stamping & Stencils Class as part of our Spring Retreat in April!
• The thing I've been using most in my vintage stamping is the "Color Spritzer Tool" and a Chocolate Chip Marker. That's how I've gotten the splattered look you see here and there, see the flower pictured to the right for a sample of what I mean.
• I've also been using the heck out of the Pretties Kit with Vintage Stamping! I just love pulling in some pearls and "bling". While the Pretties Kit has some fabulous Rhinestone Brads, I've actually been using the Self-Adhesive Rhinestones in the Egg Decorating Kit right now. I just love the ease of peeling and sticking them on!
• Another great element to Vintage Stamping is creating some Shimmer Paint Mist by combining Rubbing Alcohol and Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint in a water spritzer and spritzing your cardstock or DSP with it.
