Stampin' UP! Shabby Chic Style

Back with my third installation as a Guest Designer at The Friday Mashup J We were given a cute sketch and sweet theme this week. I was not totally sure what “Shabby Chic” meant but after some clarification from one of the lovely design team members I was off and running.

I accidently came upon this set when I made a mistake on an order I made and to be honest it is one of my favourite sets now. Though it was not really my style (or so I thought) I have used it a number of times and I am always happy with the results!!!

My Challenge:
1.    Make a project using the "Sketch". 
2.    Or Make a "Shabby Chic / Vintage" project. 
3.    Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Shabby Chic/Vintage project using the Sketch".

My Card:
Tiny Tips:
Paper Rosettes!
1.    Cut a 1 ¼” x 12” piece of card stock or designer paper
2.    Trim along one edge with punch desired
3.    Using your score tool, score along every ¼”
4.    Then mountain/valley fold along each score line
5.    With a strong adhesive glue the two ends together (overlapping the mountain/valley folds
6.    Punch out a circle piece of cardstock (which you will not see)
7.    Pull together at the center and use a STRONG adhesive to glue your punched out circle to the backside of your paper rosette
8.    Decorate as desired

Thanks for stoppin’ by!

  3. Love it!! You are totally rocking Vintage in this card. I love the colors you used. That pop of pink adds that little extra something. Great choice of stamp set too.
