Hello Crafters! Today I'm back with my Vintage style card and matching tag! I used Prima's Lavender Frost Collection for this project.
Supply List:
Blank card and chipboard tag, any size you like. My card measures 6 & 1/2 x 5 inches. My tag measures 3 & 1/2 x 6 & 1/4 inches
Prima Lavender Frost papers, flowers, crystals and chipboard
Black cardstock and any frame diecut
Hole punch and trimmer
Helmar assorted craft glues ( I'll specify glue types in instructions
Pebeo Gliding Wax (Renaissance Gold)
Prima crystals, pearls
Pearl trim and fuzzy trim
Stickles Diamond glitter
Liquid pearls White opal and Petal Pink
For card:
Choose 2 different papers you want to use for your card base and other layer. Take any diecut frame and cut out of black cardstock. Rub gliding wax lightly over your diecut frame. This gives your piece a nice shimmer. Make sure to only use a tiny amount of wax at a time.
Trace an image from your scrap papers to fit inside of your diecut frame. Cut it out leaving a slight edge and glue to the back of your diecut frame using Helmar Craft and Hobby PVA Craft Glue. Set your frame aside.
Next take one of your papers and glue to your card base surface. I used Helmar Craft & Hobby PVA glue for this step. Take your second piece of paper and cut slightly smaller than your card base. Leave about 1/4 inch of your base paper still visiable around the edge of the card. Glue down onto the previous card layer using Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots. This will add extra dimension to your card.
Now take your diecut frame and add more Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots to the back and glue to the center of your card.
Next add some pearl trim around the inside edge of your diecut frame. Helmar Super Tac Glue is perfect since it dries clear and adheres firmly.
Next choose some flowers, chipboard and other embellishments you like. I don't glue anything down until I'm pleased with my placement. I like to use Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to attach my flowers and embellishments.
To finish off my card I tucked some pearls here and there between the flowers and scattered some Prima crystals onto my card. I also added some Stickles Diamond glitter on the birds tail feathers . Lastly add some liquid pearls around the edges of your card if you like.
Tag:
Choose 3 different papers you would like to decorate your tag with. Trace your tag onto your front and back papers. Cut them out. Make sure to punch a hole at the top of your papers. Then glue down onto your chipboard tag. I used Helmar Craft & Hobby PVA glue for this step.
Trace and add your second layer of paper to your tag base, leaving 1/4 inch edge all around as you did with your card. I used the Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots to the back to add more dimension. Trace and add your last piece of paper on top of the your previous layer again using Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots.
Next add your flowers and embellishments you like and glue to the front of your tag surface. I also added a wooden phase piece I found in my stash.
Thread some tulle, ribbon or anything you like through the top hole in your tag and tie a knot to secure.
Lastly scatter some Prima crystals onto your tag. Then add some Liquid Pearls around the second layer of your tag.
I hope you enjoyed this project and are inspired to make one for yourself. Until next time, Happy Crafting.
