Is there such a thing as clean and simple vintage?  I have truly gotten excellent mileage from the Nature Walk stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog.  Sponging the edges of all the layers in Crumb Cake ink and a shot of Vintage Wallpaper texture are quick ways to pull together the "clean and simple" vintage look.

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • Stampin up punch bunch saleabration The 1", 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" Circle Punches allowed me to dress up the "true friend" sentiment in a flash (Sale-A-Bration "Punch Bunch"). 
  • Vanilla Rosettes can be customized to match Stampin' Up! colors using a Stampin' Write Marker.  Watch my 1 Minute to WOW! Video Tutorial to learn how.
  • Naturals Ivory Card Stock is so rich . . . I used it recently on this card after ignoring it for ages.  I'm hooked all over again!

  1. If anyone can make CAS vintage-it’s you! This card is lovely and a perfect use of these colors. I love the punched circle for the “true friend” sentiment–wonderful! Thanks for inviting me to play along this week–it’s truly an honor. 🙂

  2. I am wondering about the no. 147 stamp. Does it refer to numbered items in a collection? Of butterflies, perhaps?

  3. Mary this card is beautiful, love the way you embossed the soft suede strip under the focal point & “lifted” the identifying # of the graphic, just like a real botanical print, very classy!

  4. Two really cool things on your card Mary. The Rosette flower matching the Baja Breeze card stock which led me to your video…helped me out alot! And the cut out behind the True Friend Sentiment, just a small touch making a big impact…..love it!
