Vintage flower card - Sparkles Monthly challenges

 

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing my DT creation for sparkles monthly challenges. This month's theme is 'Floral frenzy'.

I have created my card using a pre-scored kraft card and these wonderful papers from the Sepia ephemera and the Christmas vintage stripes paper packs. 

I have also used a vintage bingo card, fussy cut vintage flower and label stickers.

Vintage masculine card

 

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing a card that I have created for sparkles monthly challenges.  This months theme is 'For men only'.

I have used these beautiful forest grunge papers from Pink monarch prints. A Tim Holtz paper doll and a vellum vintage advertisement from my own stash.

 

I took a pre-scored kraft card, inked the edges of the papers with vintage photo distress ink and then adhered them to the blank card using double sided tape. 

I have also used a small piece of film strip ribbon. 

I have adhered everything with cosmic shimmer glue, which dries clear underneath the vellum advert and film strip ribbon. 

I also added an eyelet to the film ribbon using my Cropodile. 

I also added a small Tim Holtz ephemera snippet underneath the paper doll. Finally, I added a quote sticker to finish. 

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

Setting sail for Sunday Postcard art

Hi lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am hosting over at Sunday Postcard Art. I am really thrilled that Mandy asked me to design something for her challenge! I chose the theme 'Nautical'!.

 

To create my postcard, I have used a kraft cardstock base that measures 6x4 Inches. I have used this wonderful French blue receipt from Taylor made journals and a vintage music sheet from my own stash. This stunning image is from Ireland Rose studio.

Thanks so much for stopping by the Den! I hope that you will hop over to the challenge!

It's a mystery! .... A tale of Sherlock Holmes!

 

Hi lovelies, hope you are well? Today I am sharing some Sherlock Holmes artist trading cards that I created for a swap over at My Altered Reality.

Each month, Kim hosts an ATC swap, with free image sheets to use in your creations. Please do visit her Blog for more details on how to enter the monthly swaps. 

Using the 'It's a mystery' image sheets, I created three ATC's for my swap partner. I started with three blank kraft cards measured at 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches. 

For the card on the left, I decorated it with the dog tooth design paper and one of the Sherlock newspaper clippings. I then fussy cut the image of Sherlock Holmes and adhered them to the card. I have edged everything with Vintage Photo Distress ink. 

I then cut some cogs using a cog die and black cardstock. I ran those through an embossing folder to give them some extra interest. I then glued them to some vellum to give a see-through backing. 

For the card on the right; I added some vintage style washi tape, vintage ticket and a Tim Holtz mini quote sticker. 

Lastly, for the middle card, I again used the images from the free sheets provided. I took a piece of ephemera which I backed on to Kraft card stock and then used my Cropodile to add an eyelet. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really do appreciate your visit and kind comments!

White Christmas - Gecko Galz Challenge

Hi lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing my DT creations for the brand new White Christmas challenge over at Gecko Galz. 

There is only one rule and that is, you need to use at least ONE product from Gecko Galz! It can be one of the free products, stamps, collage images or digital papers! it's up to you! The winner will receive a $25 Gecko Galz shopping spree. 

 For my creations I have designed a mini stamp folder . For the cover, I have used these beautiful Christmas papers from the Merry and Bright  collection. This wonderful vintage image from the Cuties at Christmas digital collage sheet.

I decorated the inside of the folder using the same coordinating papers and I also created pockets using strips of Kraft card to store my handmade vintage stamps. 

To create the stamps, I also used Kraft card stock and decorated them with the same paper from the collection. I then printed out some of the images from the cuties at Christmas collage sheet and adhered those onto the stamp shapes. 

I have used a rubber mail art stamp to give them some postal marks.

Thanks for stopping by the Fairy Den, I really appreciate your visit!

Good evening lovelies, a bit of a late post tonight! as I have just finished working on these vintage journal pages.  I have had these beautiful photo booth photos for some time now, so decided to use them to create my pages. 

This wonderful old sheet music paper and coffee & script  paper is from My Porch Prints and the vintage shabby newspaper  is from 'Vintage by me' over on Etsy. I also added a vintage flash card and grunge labels.

Finally I adhered a Tim Holtz film strip die cut and some fussy cut butterflies. Thanks so much for stopping by the Fairy Den, see you on the next post!
