Hello! I'm stopping by to share a few cards using the fun Flea Market Finds Collection that released recently from Spellbinders. I used some of the paper and embellishments from the collection to create these fun layered cards so quickly and easily! By keeping lots of bright white space and adding gold foiled sentiments, I love the mix of vintage and modern that came together in these cards. I used a Speckled Eggshell cardstock to create the cardbases, then white panels to set everything off and provide a touch of contrast.
First up - my favorite card! I made a full size slimline card featuring the pretty trio of birds in the Happy Thought Miscellany Printed Die cuts. I fell in love with them, and originally thought I would create three separate cards, but they came together so pretty all on one slimline card!
Using the same cardstock as the cardbases - Speckled Eggshell - I also die cut 3 small ovals to use as a base to anchor each of the bird images. I also used one of the Etiquette's Stickers, trimmed in half, to add some interest to the top and the bottom of my panel.
I popped the birds up with foam adhesive, added a hot foiled sentiment created from Mini Everyday Sentiments, and a sprinkle of Pinkfresh Metallic Gold Pearls to finish this card off!
The next 3 cards all feature the same sentiment hot foil set, some Pinkfresh Gold pearls (this time in the Matte version), and a bit of white torn cardstock under the layers for texture. First up, this card featuring more of the Miscellany and Stickers:
I loved that green shutter, and of course the detailed butterfly sticker. Since I wanted to pop the butterfly up with foam adhesive, I used a trick I had seen years ago - use an embossing powder tool all over the entire sticky side of the sticker, until it isn't sticky anymore. Then, I could just add foam adhesive to adhere it to my card!
Next up, this fun vintage and sort of masculine design!
This piece from the Miscellany looked so classic and vintage - perfect for a more masculine design. And adding the pearls in a row on this card, helped keep it from changing over to a super feminine design as well.
And one more pairing the Stickers and Miscellany! And I did mention I loved those shutters...so of course I had to use them both. :)
I did the same thing with this sticker, only I adhered part of it directly to the window shutter and then used the powder tool on the rest. I also added a twist of gold thread under the sentiment on this one for some extra texture!
And then one final card - this one utilizes some of the pretty Floral Palette Sampler pattern paper. I will be making more simple cards with this lovely paper for sure!
I used my Distressing tool to add texture to the edges of the pattern paper panel, and also matted it with a bit of white cardstock to help it pop. Sentiment is from Essential Glimmer Sentiments hot foil, I hand trimmed it down to a strip with an angled edges after hot foiling it, and popped it up with foam adhesive!
And there you have it! Despite this collection having a super strong vintage feel, I had fun creating light and airy cards with a bit of a modern twist to them! I hope you enjoyed as well!
