Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing a lovely vintage Christmas card that I have created for this months challenge over at Sparkles Christmas challenges  The theme is 'Christmas flowers/foliage'.

Please carry on reading to see how I created my card: 

I first took a blank piece of pre-scored kraft card stock and then adhered these beautiful papers from my my porch prnts. I have distressed all edges of the papers with vintage photo distress ink. 

Next, I adhered this wonderful image from the graphics fairy. You can find so many great free images over there to print for personal use. 

Here I have used a vintage music sheet along with a Poinsettia die. I have used vintage photo distress ink on the edges of the Poinsettia to make the flower look aged. 

 

To finish my card,  I have adhered a small piece of washi tape and a word label.

I really hope that I have inspired you to make you own vintage Christmas card and hope that you will enter the challenge!

Thanks so much for stopping by the Den, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments!

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing a recreation of a vintage Christmas altered gift bag that I have designed. I loved making this first time round, so I sat down at my desk and created another one! I have to say it is one of my favourite creations!

There is a brand new challenge over at Sparkles Christmas challenge  and the theme is 'use a sleigh' so I thought this would be perfect as my DT creation.

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing a lovely vintage CAS card that I have created for this months challenge over at Sparkles Christmas challenge  The theme is 'Clean and simple'. 

To make my card I have used this beautiful vintage music sheet from Vintagebyme and beige floral paper from Nostalgie Grafikland.

I layered the paper on to a piece of pre-scored Kraft cardstock. I also inked the edges of the paper with vintage photo distress ink. 

Next, I adhered a Tim Holtz Christmas ephemera image. 

I don't normally make CAS cards, so I found this to be a little out of my comfort zone. But, I like the outcome! 

Thanks so much for stopping by the Den, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments!

Cute dog Christmas card- vintage style

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! I have some great news to share with you all; I am thrilled to announce that I am now part of the Sparkles Christmas challenge Design Team! 

For my first design, I have created my vintage Christmas card. The theme of the challenge is Christmas cute critters. As a dog mom to my fur baby Roxie (a seven year old Staffordshire Bull terrier) I wanted to use a vintage image of a cute dog. 

 

I have also created my own Christmas calendar which I have used on my card. 

I have used this sheet of lovely checked paper from Nostalgie Grafikland.

To finish my card, I adhered this cute dog image and a 'Merry Christmas' label that I printed out. 

I have also created this lovely Poinsettia arrangement along with some frayed cheese cloth. 

Thank you so much for stopping by the Den, I really appreciate your visit and lovely comments!
