Technique Tuesday Blog Hop - January 2022 Vintage Techniques Blog Hop

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today features the monthly Technique Tuesday. Decembers theme is Vintage Techniques, where the team of creators will share their favorite vintage technique, tip, or hack!

Vintage cards are definitely outside of my comfort zone. I think the Very Versailles Stamp set is a perfect choice for vintage cards. 

Creating a vintage look also lends itself well to neutral, muted colors. Lots of texture is another element of vintage cards. Sponging, along with torn paper, is a perfect technique to make your card look vintage. You can see in the below tags that I added all sort of texture with sponging, random stamping and some ripped paper. 

Ribbon/embellishments is another element with vintage cards. I did not add any embellishment, but I did add ribbon/twine, perfect for tags. I selected both a notecard size base card a regular 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 size card base along with coordinating designer series paper. The Simply Elegant paper definitely has a vintage look to it. I really liked how the Beauty of the Earth paper coordinate well with the tag. I mounted the tags onto the card bases with dimensional.

Crafty Collaborations Jan - June 2022 Mini Catty Blog Hop

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today the team is sharing projects made with products from the new 2022 January - June Mini Catalog. A perk of being a demonstrator allows us to order products and create with them prior to the catalog going live on January 4, 2022.  

I chose the Brave Viking stamp set. It is found on pg 73 in the new catalog for $20. Remember, during Sale-A-Bration, every $50 order can choose a free Category 1 item from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. 

If anyone is a MN Viking fan, and many of us in MN are, I'm guessing many customers in MN will purchase this set. Additionally, MN has many citizens with Scandinavian heritage. I am half Swedish and lived a year in Sweden when I was 16. My husband is mostly Norwegian and I refer to him as my tall Viking man, so I just had to get this set.

Aren't the images just so cute? I am not one to color much, but I had a lot of fun coloring these. I actually made 10 of these cards for a Card swap with the DO Stamper STARS.   

Card Details

• Stamps: 
• Brave Vikings and Sweet Conversations- sentiment inside the card 

• Paper
• Real Red Card Base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored 4 1/4 
• Blushing Bride 5 1/4 x 4 
• 2 1/2 x 1 3/4 for tag die/sentiment
• Basic White: 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 for large circle, 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 for smaller circle 
• 5 1/4 x 4 for inside layer
• Ink
• Real Red 
• Jet Black StazOn  
• Many Marvelous makers in variety of colors or Blender pens and variety of ink pad colors
• If using Stampin' Blends, use the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
