DT Spotlight Tutorial - Zowie

Hello, Zowie here with a quick tutorial on how to create a vintage nostalgic Christmas Postcard. 

To start, I chose these beautiful papers to adhere to a tag that I made from plain white card stock measured at 5.5" x 3.5"

* Wood design- Wild at heart paper stash

* Digital music sheet- LaBoutiqueDeiColori

* Vintage Reindeer image- GraphicMarketplace

Next, I used a North Star and two Reindeer metal dies along with Kraft card stock. I distressed the edges with Vintage Photo Distress ink and created some small white decoration on the Reindeer's body. I have also embossed the star with a embossing folder. 

Medium Reindeer - Xcut mini die 

Small Reindeer - Marianne Design Christmas village decoration set 

Star die - Xcut mini die  

Snowflake embossing folder - Crafters Companion Vintage collection

Finally I printed out the words 'Merry Christmas' on to white cardstock and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. 

Hope that you've enjoyed this tutorial! You can find more photos on my blog Crafts from the Fairy Den

Design Team spotlight tutorial - Vintage index card

Hello everyone, Zowie here with a quick and easy altered Index card tutorial.. vintage style!

I've seen so many wonderful altered Index cards on the internet and wanted to make some; they are highly addictive and perfect for a quick and fun project, especially if you are having creative block! 

Here I have used a plain index card and adhered a book page and vintage map design paper, which has been torn at the edges.

Next, I chose these elements to compliment the paper that I used, including this wonderful vintage photo. 

I have used a Tim Holtz star rubber stamp along with Tiramisu Archival ink. 

Vintage photo distress ink has been used on all edges of the card and elements.

Finally, I chose some book text and adhered it to the card along with a fussy cut butterfly.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial,

happy crafting!
