Vintage ~ Just for you best wishes

Hello bloggers today's card is a birthday card made using vintage papers.

This card began as an 8x8 white card blank.  First I cut down some gold holographic mirror card stock and adhered it to the card front.  Next I cut a rectangle mat from some yellow gingham paper and adhered this to the card.  Using some vintage papers I die cut the scallop square using Spellbinders 'grand scallop square' die set.  Next using some more vintage patterned paper I die cut the center shape using Spellbinders 'labels 14' die set.  I then cut out of the middle of this die a butterfly shape using Spellbinders 'les papillions' die set.  Next using the same butterfly die I cut 2 butterflies from vintage patterned paper.  These were layered up and some faux pearls added to the body.  The butterflies were then added to the void in the labels 14 mat.  Using some patterned paper I made a paper bow and adhered it to the card.  I added two sentiments one at the top and one at the bottom.  Finally I added a faux pearl to each corner of the Grand scalloped square.

Shabby Chic easel card ~ love

Hello bloggers today's card is a pretty shabby chic easel card.  The first photo is the card when it is closed and the second photo is when it is open

This card began as a 6x6 white hammered card blank.  First I folded the front cover in half to make my easel card.  Next using some vintage papers from my stash I die cut a scalloped square using Spellbinders 'grand scallop squares' die set.  I die cut two of these one for the front of the card and one for the inside.  As the vintage paper was flimsy I die cut another scalloped square out of white card and adhered the paper die cut to it for strength.  This was then adhered to the front of the card.  The embellishments on my card were from my stash and are self adhesive so I attached the heart and love to the front of the card.  The butterfly was die cut using Spellbinders 'les papillions' die set and vintage paper.  This was attached to the card with dries clear adhesive.  Next I added some flower embellishments to the bottom of the card.  The strawberries were mounted up with foam tape to make the stopper for the easel card.
