Make Embellishments Work for You

 Hello friends!

I have a stash of the latest Spellbinders Happy Thoughts Miscellany Printed Cuts. This is part of the Flea Market Finds Collection by Cathe Holden. 

 Happy Thought Miscellany Printed Die Cuts is part of the Flea Market Finds Collection by Cathe Holden. This set of 39 die cut shapes include flower seed packets, old envelopes, bank checks, and more. These elements would be fun to add in any projects!

Flea Market Finds is Cathe Holden’s debut collection with Spellbinders. She utilizes her vast compilation of vintage treasures to help create collage, junk journaling, cardmaking and more for makers. Combine these wonderful stamps, papers, stickers, stencils, and shapes in this assortment to assemble delightful, vintage-inspired projects.

I am no expert on making vintage cards. This one is my modern take on it.

One tip I have is..... when you have lots of embellishments on hand, choose one thing that you love to focus on and then go from there.

 I stamped the sentiment "A Token of Friendship" in the label die and fussy cut it.

Next, I added the colorful birdie and stamped sentiment on the lacy pattern paper.

Love your take on this! Not vintage,
but not ultra modern either!

Nice design share. Good tip on how to create and balance the pieces.

Great design, I see a bit of vintage with the lacy background and a touch of modern with the various tags and sentiments.
