Merry Christmas Card Box and Cards

 I am starting to get into the Christmas spirit.  I love these Printable Hang Tag Victorian Santa Post Cards.  You can find them along with lots of other wonderful goodness in the Ewe-N-Me Printables Store.

I cut the post cards up and put stickles on the tree Santa is holding and on the holly.  I love old fashioned Santa's and the idea of giving someone a box full of creative goodness is so fun.  These cards print up so perfectly and there are 8 to a sheet so you can use them for so many different things.  I popped up the post card to give it more dimension next to the flowers.  Thanks so much for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Vintage Cards with Postcard Backs Hang Tags

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you are all looking forward to another fall weekend!

Today I'm featuring cards I created using the Hang Tag - Postcard Backs downloadable. Back in August I featured cards using the Postcard Back Collage Sheet -- so as you can see I am just crazy about these images.

There are eight tags altogether (four different images) on an 8.5 x 11 page. I printed mine on a piece of white cardstock and then cut out the tags for today's project. I inked the edges in black ink, but that's not really necessary as they print out with a distressed edge look. I added an eyelet and a piece of red twine to the tags and they could certainly be used just like that. Wouldn't they look wonderful on a gift bag or box for a special occasion this fall?

For the card, I used white cardstock as a base and layered it with rustic colored striped paper. I added a red burlap ribbon, two gold brads and stamped some vintage script in the bottom corner. I cut out a square of the same striped paper and, using my postage stamp punch, added "for you" on top.

The final step was adding the tag to the top of the card.

Wouldn't this card be a fun greeting to send to that family member or friend who loves vintage?

I hope you enjoyed my project today. And as always, thanks for stopping by.

Vintage Postcard Backs

The wonderful thing about downloadable collage sheets is that there are endless possibilities. Today I’m featuring Ewe-N-Me Printables Collage Sheet - PostcardBacks. What fun these were!

I’m so fond of vintage, especially when it comes to anything paper related, so these postcard backs really caught my eye. The downloadable image comes with 6 different images, in two different sizes for a total of 12 printable images. The sizes are 1.5" x 2.5" and 2" x 3.5".

Today I’m using all six images, but in different sizes to create two vintage style cards. I downloaded and printed the images and cut out 4 larger and 2 smaller sizes.

I started with two natural colored cards, one horizontal and one vertical. I glued a panel of red textured cardstock to both and left a sizeable margin on each so the red would stand out. This red paper really pops against the natural stone color. I then adhered two strips of ribbon – a dark brown and a red gingham to each card.

These images are great because the edges have that inked look. I arranged them in a stacked, overlapping style which gives the card a collage feel. I finished the cards by adding a red, shabby chic flower and two pearl beads.

Wouldn’t this be a fun card send to a friend or family member who loves vintage?
