Vintage Fa La La Christmas

Happy Tuesday, peeps! I am squeaking in a sweet little vintage Christmas card for the "belles" at Jingle Belles, where their theme is "Walking in a Vintage Wonderland"!  I love Christmas and I love vintage!  So I searched in my stash of papers and found a few that worked for my collage-style card today!  I did some trimming and sponging and diecutting and did not do a bit of stamping, at least on the front! Here we go:


I cannot begin to tell you who makes these papers; I bought just a few pieces loose from an online seller and there is no name associated with them, but they are all from the same package.  You may be able to see the background print peeking out from the elements that I cut apart and mounted on top.  Before mounting, I sponged each edge and roughed them up with the edge of my ruler.  I also added some glittery holly leaves (white glimmer paper with some Soft Sky ink sponged on them) and a little diecut bow (Real Red with some white ink sponged on it),  Here are some closeups of these delightful little scenes:




Everything went on a Naturals Ivory card; I stamped a sentiment from Flonzcraft on the inside with Crumb Cake ink.


These images all just remind me of Christmases from when I was a little girl!  And I  promise, one of these days, I'll do some actual stamping on a card! It's just so fun to pull out some neat papers and let them do the work though!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Ok first off WOW!!!!!! so amazing! Second: Those papers are from Prima's Candy Cane Lane collection, designed by Frank Garcia a few years ago. It is one of my all-time faves, and I've seldom seen anyone make anything as lovely as this using them so again I say WOW!!! So happy you could come "Walking in a Vintage Wonderland" with us at Jingle Belles! ♥
