Vintage Artistry Cards - 49 and Market

BLOG HOP NOTE...click here is you are looking for the blog hop.  
 
 
Hello 49 and Market fans!! Today I have a card set to share featuring lots of the gorgeous NEW products from 49 and Market.


 
To start I created the cards using the Vintage Artistry Collection. I just used layers of the beautiful papers as the base.  
 
Next I added a bit of stencilling with Shimmerz Paste-eez and Gabi’s Butterflies are Free stamp set in the background.
 

The new blooms are so lovely…and each package has lots of different sizes and styles to play with. For my clusters I used Blush Melange and Ivory Melange from the Shimmer and Shine collections. I also tucked in a few Roses in green…these packages of flowers are perfect as little filler flowers!
 

The sentiment stamp is from Gabi’s Hibiscus Stamp Set. Here you can see some of the NEW 49 and Market “3D Embellishments”…those beautiful layered leaves and that adorable dragonfly! These will be in the store very soon! I finished it all off with a bit of Shimmerz Inklingz splatters.

She Was a Wildflower - Shimmerz Paints

Hello Shimmerz fans!! Today I have a fun project to share. I bought a wooden mixed media placque and altered it with lots of Shimmerz products. The wood is like an old barn wood so a vintage photo was perfect to start. The photo is of my mom and sisters.


I started with lots of layers of stencil work in the back ground with the NEW Paste-eez in Salt of the Earth, The “Cream” Team and A Little Nutty. Paste-eez is a wonderful thick paste and perfect for stencil work.


The Creative Embellishments chippy gears are finished with Penny 4 Your Thoughts and French Twist Inklingz.


I also love the NEW Acritonez paints and used 3 Sheets to the Wind for the splatters and Peas Be Mine of the leafy chipboard.


A few more close ups of all the Shimmerz layers!

Recycled Gift Tags - Creative Embellishments

Hi everyone! Today I have two tags to share. Two tags that were created from flower packaging. I find the packaging is a nice size, already has a hole in the top and a perfect way to recycle!
 

After I covered the packaging with left over paper and tissue pieces, I added some masking and color with Shimmerz products. I cut the Circle Vine Frame in half…one half for each tag. All of the chippys are finished with a coat of heavy Gesso and some added beads.
 
The sentiments are from the Baby Word Set…the word sets are perfect for sentiments and project titles, and there is a large selection of sets to pick from! These two tags will be perfect to add to a baby gift!
 

 
That is it for me for today! Don’t forget to check out the February challenge …. Make sure to share all of your creations on our Facebook page… Take care and Happy Scrapping!
