Using the Tailored Tag Punch, I punched a label from the centre of the Flirty Flamingo panel before adhering the Daffodil Afternoon dsp.

I added the contrasting strip of dsp before adding the panel to the Basic Black card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Flirty Flaming ink and punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. The Flirty Flamingo label was cut across the middle and added to the back.

I added a bow using the metallic ribbon and a trio of Classic Matte Dots.

We die cut the scalloped border using the Scalloped Contour Dies along the edge of the Daffodil Delight panel.

The Daffodil Afternoon dsp panel was added to the Daffodil Delight panel with liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink before the whole panel was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The Daffodil Afternoon dsp was glued to the Pale Papaya panel and the panel was added with the same glue to the Mossy Meadow card front.

The strip of Pale Papaya was stamped using the dotty image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Pale Papaya ink. I then tore the strip down each side and added it to the card front.

The sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on the small piece of Very Vanilla card and punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. The label was then added on Dimensionals. A trio of 2021 – 2023 In Color Jewels completed the card.

Vintage Harvest for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on January 11, 2022January 11, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects with a vintage theme. I have to say ‘vintage’ is way out of my comfort zone so this was quite a challenge for me.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the vintage harvest card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Very Vanilla card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Blushing Bride card – 5¼” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride, Soft Suede & Early Espresso

Using one of the images from the Natural Textures stamp set, I stamped all over the panel of Blushing Bride in Blushing Bride ink to give a subtle texture. I then tore down the right side of the panel. I used a Dauber to Crumb Cake ink around the edge of the piece.

I tore the edge of the smaller Very Vanilla piece and inked along the torn edge with the same ink.

A rustic, vintage style card made for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop using Stampin' Up! products

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I wrapped a length of Lace Trim around the Blushing Bride panel and added it to the Very Vanilla piece. The whole panel was added to the Crumb Cake card base. I inked around that as well with the Crumb Cake ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Using the Harvest Dies, I die cut the stems and flowers from scrap Soft Suede and Early Espresso card. I though the flowerhead was too dark so die cut it again from Blushing Bride and Very Vanilla card……….couldn’t make my mind up which I would like better. I used the speckle image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set to stamp on the potential flowerheads with Soft Suede ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

The Soft Suede stems were added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the Early Espresso stems with Mini Dimensionals. I added the Blushing Bride flowerhead, then decided I liked the Very Vanilla so I added it on top, on Dimensionals, but slightly offset so that you see both. How’s that for indecision……….

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink on scrap Very Vanilla card and die cut using a label from the Harvest dies. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

A bow made from the Lace Trim and a scattering of Brushed Metallic Dots completed the card.
