Vintage Cards for any Occasion

Hello!! Kelly here with some Vintage Card for any Occasion. I like having cards around to use with a blank inside, then I can pick the card that best suits the person I am giving it to and for the occasion. These cards are easy to make and will fit many celebrations.

Start these cards by running a piece of white cardstock through the embossing machine with the Bingo folder and the Flourish folder. Then color the Flourish cardstock with Bundled Sage ink, set aside. Color the Bingo cardstock with Vintage Photo, set aside. Darken the edges of the Bingo Card with Ground Expresso.

Stamp the Classic Car on to white cardstock with black embossing powder and heat set. With the white embossing powder stamp the Lady and Man Clock with Writing onto white cardstock and heat set then ink with Worn Lipstick. Cut out both images and set aside.

Assemble the pieces and see how they will fit together. For the Bingo Car, layer black cardstock behind the bingo card then put down a strip of coordinating washi tape along the bottom of the card front and attach the bingo card layer to the front. Using foam tape add the Classic Car to the bottom left of the card.

For the Flourish card, cut out a black circle to fit behind the Clock image and another piece of black cardstock for the back of the flourish design layer them onto the kraft card front.

When finished, stamp Handmade by: on the back of each card.
