Happy Sunday, peeps! Claire is our Paper Players hostess this week, and since it's the fifth Sunday, it's a Tic-Tac-Toe! She has some wonderful choices for us! She must have known how much I love vintage, so my automatic choice was the right column of Vintage, Patterned Paper and Sparkle! Let's go!
I had a couple of pieces of some lovely vintage papers from Simple Stories left from a pad I got several years ago....they're almost all gone, but I salvaged one piece with this wonderful Santa against a collage of vintage prints. I didn't want to cut it down, so I made it into a large slimline card measuring 4" x 8"...here we go:
I did have to make the paper a bit narrower, so I trimmed it down and cut out the holly leaves, then added a strip of red glimmer paper and re-attached the remaining paper behind it to fit my card. I stamped a vintage sentiment in Cherry Cobbler on some of the same paper and diecut it, then adhered it to the front:
Another vintage sentiment on the inside, along with some plaid paper to accent the bottom:
I do love my vintage images and this was a treasure to create! I hope you'll find some good inspiration using Claire's grid for your own card. Share it with us at the Paper Players blog! Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

LeAnne, I do know how much we both love vintage. This is just fabulous! I love the gorgeous DSP and the way you cut out all the holly! The vintage sentiment is just perfect and the red glimmer paper makes it pop! Thank you for making my challenge shine! Have a wonderful week. My Friend!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with this card!!!!
perfect sentiment!
Oh, LeAnne! My vintage loving heart is going pitter-pat! This piece of paper is gorgeous. I love how you snipped out the holly leaves on the edge. What a great detail! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteA lovely vintage card, LeAnne! I really like how you stamped the greeting on patterned paper too, that makes it feel much more like it goes along with the vintage Santa. The glimmer paper is a great touch that doesn't steal the spotlight from the Santa too. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw vintage on the board, I knew you would use that block! This is fabulous, LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw Vintage in the grid, I knew you'd produce a beauty like this! The collage of papers makes a great playground for the glorious Santa, like the ones I remember from childhood. The font is vintage all on it's own. Great card!
ReplyDeleteI was so hoping you'd choose the vintage option LeAnne - and your card doesn't disappoint! I love a vintage Santa too and that band of pretty glimmer adds a lovely festive sparkle. Just beautiful!
