Happy weekend everyone!
You might have noticed some changes to my blog over the past few days. At the end of July, my design team term finished with Shimmerz. I will not be posting as many Shimmerz projects, but you can click on 'Shimmerz Projects' in the sidebar categories section for plenty of shimmering inspiration. I will now have more time to devote to my other commitments - my Stampin' Up! customers, Gingersnap Creations and having some good old stamping fun!
Enough of that, it's time to share another sweet & simple card with you. This one is a little different, but it does reflect my split stamping personality.
Some days I love to make cards like this:
And other days, I like to create projects like this (which are the kind you'll find on Gingersnap Creations):
Most days I find it hard to combine my love of vintage with my love of clean lines and white space. This card is an attempt to do just that. At the center of the main panel is a rusty old key that is embellished with a rhinestone and ribbon. The key is adhered to a chipboard heart covered with a scrap from an old dictionary and all this is mounted onto a silver paint chip from the hardware store.
You can see more of my vintage CAS cards here and here.
Enjoy what's left of your weekend and please visit again soon!
These are wonderful! I really love how you married the vintage look with the CAS style. Very pretty!

Great projects! The first card is my fave! Just love that pop of color off the white.

Oh, these are ALL lovely!! You really struck a chord with me, when you talk of "split stamping personality." I have it, two!! In fact, I may be split into several fractured pieces, LOL!! But I think we're the ones who have the most fun! TFS

I just found your Gingersnap Creations blog and I can't wait to participate! I love both CAS AND vintage, so I can sympathize when one wants to war with the other!!! So I just go with the flow! You've combined both styles nicely here!
