Sweets for you!

 Hey there!  Amy here checking in for the month of September.  I have two projects to share with you using a mixture of goodies so let's dive right in!

I made  this card using  Twirly Twine red and aqua paired with Dimestore Vogue brown crepe paper, Kitchen Ephemera,  and Cosmo Cricket's Rose paper.  I added a feather, two butterfly stickers accented with liquid pearls, a paper rose, vintage button and green velvet trim .  I distressed the card lightly with ink for a viintage feel.  The green velvet trim was a gem find for me at the thrift store.  I found it on the bolt still with yellow stickers intact that dates over 20 years ago!  

Here's a close up:

Next up is a small frame I altered.  I wrapped red Twirly Twine around the frame and added a yellow paper rose.  

I used Echo Park's For the Record's Picket Fence paper to mat my picture and then made a polka dot banner layered with a vintage piece of paper from the Kitchen Ephemera pack accented with a vintage red bingo marker.  Next I cut out a ticket from the red Twirly Twine and used rhinestones to embellish.  

Items used to create both items:

• Twirly Twine red and aqua by Vintage Street Market
• Dimestore Vogue Paper Sheets and Tags by Vintage Street Market
• Kitchen Ephemera
• Vintage  Red Bingo Markers
• For the Record paper by Echo Park

 Thank you for stopping by and happy creating to you!

Yum yummy mini and tin

I am oh so lucky to share with you two projects for Vintage Street Market today featuring their newest collections.  We now have vintage items mixed with new  I used items from Kitsch Kitchen for my projects and have included a list below for you to find the items in the store.

First up is the mini album. I used corrugated cardboard for the  covers and added Vintage Street Market's Kitchen Ephemera with Cosmo Cricket's Rose pattern paper.  Using pinking shears, I cut a strip of chocolate brown crepe paper and stitched down the middle.  I wrapped  aqua Twirly Twine around the bottom  and stapled  to attach.  Can you see the two strips of Tinted Tape at the top of my book ?  They are kinda hidden under the red foil but love how subtle the tape is.   I made a pennant from  red foil and punched out  two hearts and then accented the middle with Liquid Pearls.  The stickers are Live Life What's Cookin'? and Express Yourself  Recipes from SRM Stickers. Isn't that fork the cutest?  That's a vintage set offered by Vintage Street Market right here.

Here is my little book opened.

 I kept the pages simple inside by using the Kitchen Ephemera again taped down with Linen Tinted Tape and then adding  a SRM Sticker.  The pages are mini coin envelopes covered in pattern paper in three basic designs.    This is the first  simple page with an embellishment of three red foil hearts.

These are the two other designs. I used Cosmo Cricket's Rose paper to cover, accented with a Kitchen Ephemera piece and a scallop punch out from For the Record by Echo Park.  The buttons are Dimestore Vogue die cuts tied with  aqua Twirly Twine.  The second page used Crate Paper's Farmhouse Farmer's market paper with the chocolate brown crepe paper and aqua Twirly Twine stapled.

 The last page with the back cover.

Items used:

• Dimestore Vogue brown crepe paper by Vintage Street Market
• Farmhouse -Farmers Market by Crate Paper
• For the Record-Picket Fence by Echo Park
• Kitchen Ephemera
• "Linen" Tinted Tape by Vintage Street Market
•  Party Games red foil by Vintage Street Market
• Twirly Twine by Vintage Street Market
• Vintage Playset Knife and Fork set
• Vintage Red Bingo Markers 

I repurposed a candy tin to create this next project.

 I covered the tin with Cosmo Cricket's  Rose pattern paper.  I then wrapped  Linen Tinted Tape around the top and bottom to give better wear.

 I added a strip of stitched chocolate brown crepe paper under the tape seam.  A small panel of the Kitchen Ephemera was added next.  I tied a vintage button with  aqua Twirly Twine, added a few cream card stock  pennants with SRM Express Yourself Stickers, and a Vintage Street Market aqua ticket to embellish.

 I wrapped lace trim  around the bottom tape seam and then added the red library card holder, two red roses, and another SRM Sticker.

For the top, I added a piece of the Farmhouse Farmer's Market by Crate Paper and applied Liquid Pearls around the edges.  I placed vintage red bingo marker on top.  

Items used:

• Dimestore Vogue brown crepe paper by Vintage Street Market

Summer Fun for Vintage Street Market

 It's the most wonderful time of the year for me!  Summer!  I love  hot weather and being able to sit outside  on my patio and enjoy nature's beauty.  Right now the temperatures are perfect for outdoor events and my creations for this month were made for my sweet nephew's birthday which we celebrated recently with a cook out.  I wrapped a gift with a home made pompom and made a money pocket.

My nephew is really into saving money for a trip the family is taking to Universal so I gave him cash and wanted a cute holder to tuck the money in.  I decided to make my own with a manilla folder.  This is super easy and I will share with you how.

First cut down a folder to the size you want.  I made mine 4 1/2 x 10.  Fold in half and score with bone folder.  Mat a piece of Party Games decorative print paper to front and stitch sides together.  I love the vibrant colors of the paper paired with the shiney finish.  Voila!  A gift card pouch is made and it's nice and sturdy.

Next I added a scallop crepe paper border that I sewed along the bottom.  I covered the seam edges by creating little bows with red Twirly Twine.

I then made a label with white card stock and cut a tiny strip of red foil also from Party Games.  The pennants are cut from the diamond die cuts in the set as well and then I used stickers for the date and sentiment.  The Paper Sheets and Tags sets offer a wide variety of items and are a tremendous value for all you get!  Plus they are on sale this month.  Check it out here.  A few yellow rhinestones completed my project.

If you want a contrasting background for the inside of the pocket, line with gift wrap paper.

And because I like to give something for him to open, I wrapped a box of candy in the decorative print paper and made a pompom from yellow crepe paper from the Party Games set.

I cut strips of the crepe paper and tied together in the middle.  It's as easy as that!  I wrapped the gift and tied a piece of aqua Twirly Twine around it to make a bow with a red button to secure.

I used the ice cream die cut and added the letter "C" from the decorative printed paper sheets.  It is attached with a bull frog clip.  I didn't realize the irony of this till later with the frog print.  ;-) A small rhinestone again to embellish and my gift was wrapped.

I hope this inspires you to create a fun birthday gift or even a Father's Day gift.  Happy Summer to you!
