glittery vine cards

I needed some cards to put in my stash basket and also a few more for my mom for her birthday. I wanted something soft and pretty and vintage looking.

So I started out with Pine's Papertrey Rustic Branches stamp set. Pine's sets are so simple in design, I love that her images are so easy to work with. Using New Leaf ink, I stamped the vine and wreath images onto Kraft cardstock. I cut the vines into cardstock strips and punched the wreaths out with a scalloped punch. I also tied up some Sweet Blush Vintage Buttons with Rustic Cream Twine.Next, I reached for some supplies from my stash...pink Stickles and pink Martha Stewart glitter. Onto each stamped piece, I squirted a little Stickles, rubbed it with my finger, and sprinkled on some glitter. Just a little sprinkling will do ya. Let that dry.

I then went to work, assembly line fashion, and created a whole stack of pretty cards. I used PTI Rustic White cardstock for the card bases, K & Company patterned paper and various PTI ribbons. Doesn't it feel good to finish a bunch of cards?

For my cards sentiments, I used several from Vintage Picnic Sentiments. The vintage typewriter font paired with the nice script is one of my favorite looks right now.

And here's a few more.....

Look how pretty the pink glitter is, along with the tied pink buttons. Be still my heart.

I challenge you this week to put down the Popsicles and dig into your crafting stash. Find a few items that you haven't used in a while and make some cards! It's a new month, have you made out your list of cards you need to send? Doooooooo it! :) And have fun!!
