Invitation for Coffee or Tea

Happy Monday!

As soon as I saw Deena's Primitive Pantry Labels Sheet I couldn't resist it! I love the vintage look -- the scripted lettering, color and decorative style! You will get eight printable labels on a sheet and each one is approximately 3.5 x 2.35 in size.

While these labels would be perfect for a kitchen or pantry decor, I decided to use them on invitation cards. What a lovely way to organize a get together with loved ones or friends you haven't seen in a while.

I created this card using a white cardstock base and layered it with a panel of ivory and brown scripted paper. After printing and adhering the "Let's Get Together" panel, I glued the "coffee" label at an angle to give a bit of interest. I then decorated the card with a strip of white lace trim and ivory rose embellishment. 

Of course, if you're inviting guests for tea, you can use the same card with the "Tea" label. The rose and lace embellishments certainly make this a charming invitation.

This label sheet offers lots more possibilities for your home decor and vintage projects. I hope you were inspired as much as I was with this wonderful downloadable!

Stocking Stuffer Notebooks - Primitive Labels

Hello everyone!

Are you filled with the holiday spirit yet? Where I live (northern Ohio) we're usually facing snow, cold and blustery weather at this time of year. But right now we're having a heat wave and it's been in the 60s!! Kind of hard to get into that Christmas mood, but that didn't stop me from making a couple of delightful stocking stuffers.

Today I'm featuring Deena's Primitive Label Sheet - Dash Away Reindeer Grains.

I simply adore this vintage image -- it just captures that old-fashioned Christmas feeling. You will get this image in two different sizes and you'll get three of each size -- for a total of six images on a sheet.

For my project today, I used two of the small size images to create two little journals.

These little notebooks measure 3-1/4 x 4-1/2 and make great stocking stuffers. I used a light turquoise cardstock from my paper scraps and adhered that to the front and back covers of the journals. I then glued the printed image to the cover of each notebook. My post from last week featured cards I created using similar labels -- and I also used a blue background. I just love the way it sets off these vintage images!!

I decorated the edge of each notebook with a piece of white felt rick-rack that I purchased on clearance earlier this year. It has come in handy for so many projects!!! For the finishing touch, I adorned each notebook with some sparkly snowflake embellishments!

Super easy -- and so festive!

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you're looking for last-minute gift or stocking stuffer ideas, you're sure to find lots of inspiration here -- and be sure to visit the Ewe-N-Me Printables website for more awesome downloadables.

Live Love Laugh Cards!!

Happy Monday everyone - Beth here! I'm so pleased to be continuing on as part of the design team for Ewe-N-Me Printables in 2015!!

Today I'm featuring several cards I created using Deena's Primitive Labels - Live Love Laugh. You will get nine printable images on an 8.5"x 11" sheet -- with three of them being mini labels. I used three of the larger labels (3.5" x 2.5") to create three different cards. I printed the downloadable page on white cardstock and cut out three labels.

I adhered a piece of a vintage book page to a card, stapled a strip of ivory burlap ribbon and then glued on the label. The paper butterfly gives this card a bit of whimsy!

I love the fresh and simple look these labels gave to my cards. I used both ivory and pale blue cardstock. And, the subdued colors are a nice change after the vibrant colors of the holidays!

Most of all, though, I love the "Live Love Laugh" message! A wonderful way to start the new year!

So glad you stopped by today!

Vintage Vegetable Label Note Cards

Hi everyone! Beth here again.

End of summer is harvest time, and what better way to enjoy it than to feature these great Vintage Vegetable Labels which you can find here. There are six different label images (two of each appear on an 8-1/2 x 11 page). For today's project I'm featuring them on a set of small note cards.

White note cards are tucked into an adorable miniature brown paper bag envelope!

After printing the sheet, I cut out four of the images and distressed the edges with dark green ink. I stamped the bottom of each paper bag with a decorative floral image in the same green ink and inked the edges of the bag as well.

I glued a label on the front of each bag and then adhered a green button. I stamped the top of each white card with the floral image. The size (including the paper bag envelope) is 2-1/2" x 4."

Aren't these fun for the end of summer and the beginning of autumn?

Thanks for stopping by today! See you soon!
