Not sure "vintage lovers" was the right phrase there, but you know what I mean right? Lol.
Here's a vintage card I whipped up on the weekend using one of my fave sets from the new Stampin' Up!catalogue, Established Elegance.
Can I begin to tell you how excited I was when there were TWO new ribbons with Always Artichoke in this years catalogue? This is one of my fave colours and it's easy to use for traditional cards and also to freshen up a little like I have here by using Pretty in Pink and Very Vanilla. The seam binding is great for doing double bows and also scrunching up which you will see in all it's gorgeousness on the blogs in months to come.
A couple of other new but already firmly entrenched favourites I have used here are the First Edition DSP and the Designer Frames Textured Embossing Folders Set (you get this embossed frame and an oval one too).
I hope you like today's sample. I hope to get back in here by the end of the week, but then things will likely be quiet for a few weeks while I have a little blogging break to spend time with the boys on the school holidays. We will be spending time just hanging out at the beach house and doing the usual round of playdates and movies and park expeditions. I really love the school holidays and the chance to really relax and chill with the boys. I printed out 200+ photos on the weekend and have lots of new goodies to play with so I suspect there will be some crafting in there somewhere, so I will have lots to blog when the boys are back at school for term 4 (?? where did this year go?).
Whatever you do this week, have a happy time doing it and thanks for popping in,
Claire xx
