A Little Bit Vintage........

I thought I'd go vintage with mine........

So I made the ATC cards into a book......

I cut a front and back using chipboard, the same size as the pages..

Covered the pages with some old K&Co Life's Journey paper and stamped them with dress forms from Lost Coast (Out of stock at the moment but keep checking!)

Added bits and pieces from the 'bit box'

Scanned some pages from an old needlework book and printed onto cream paper.

Added bits of lace

Hope you like it

A Matchbox Card ...

Hello, this is Andrea and I'm here to sahre my Matchbox creation. I've loved seeing what the other girls have made and how different they have all been from the same starting point. I thought about this little matchbox for a long time and dithered about what to do with it but then I had a brainwave and it all came together quite quickly one morning

So, this is the outside, I used the Cosmo Cricket Delovely papers and a 7Gypsies handle

Inside is a concertina mini book with each 'page' spelling out the word Birthday

I thought it would make a lovely alternative to a birthday card and there is still room even with the book closed up to tuck a few trinkets and birthday memories inside

I used:

7 Gypsies ATC matchbox kit

Cosmo Cricket Delovely papers

Purple Onion butterfly and sentiment stamps

Nestabilities scalloped rectangle die

Stampin Up alphabet dies

Papertrey ink

and ribbons from The Ribbon Girl
