Making vintage tags.

 I'm finished with Counterfeit kits for the moment so I'm playing catch up with some long awaited projects. 

At the moment I'm working on vintage tags using up scraps of paper and shop tags I kept because they were interesting.

During covid and just afterwards I stocked up on new underwear and leisurewear etc and threw out quite a lot. I kept these tags.



I'm combining those to get the wavy edge on to tags I can use in future.

Some came with tassels, so I used those too.

While decorating the tags I've opened Pinterest to an appropriate page for inspiration.



Crafty Animals

 This card is for Crafty Animals.


I made it as a retirement card, but it could work as a birthday card or anniversary or a holiday wishes card also. The paper features flamingoes. I added some thin washi tape along the bottom plus "Good Times" and "So happy " as my sentiment.

li"l red wagon

 Last card for today. This one is for Li'l red wagon. 

They want spring flowers. I've made this card to cheer up a friend. The sentiment says Happy Days because I wish her that. I used a small posy of tulips and tiny white lily of the valley. Very spring I think.

My background is metallic corrugated card



The male room

 I've made a man's birthday card for The male room where they want food or drink.

It features a barbecue and the word "sixty". My neighbour is turning 60 and quite often cooks BBQ so it is very appropriate. We can't actually see food on the card, but it is food related.



Allsorts challenge and Heartsquest fantasy challenge

 This card is for Allsorts challenge. where they want monochrome or anything goes. It is almost all yellow, but if not, it can be anything goes.


While I had the yellow cardboard out I also made this thank you fairy card. 


Again, I used scraps of patterned paper, then matted it on yellow card. The fairies are from Graphic 45.

Inspire create challenge plus Love those pretty papers.

 At Inspire create challenge they want black and white. I'm making a few thank you cards as they are always handy.

Here's my card for this challenge


My next card is for Love those pretty papers challenge.

I've used 3 smaller pieces of patterned paper on this car.It features a deer trotting through a rose garden and has gold edging down one side.


It is also a thank you card.

The paper players

 At the Paper Players they want a CAS card featuring food.

I had a filmstrip from Darkroom door featuring lollies so used that plus some foam words.

Makes me hungry just looking at it.
