Another vintage sewing card


I hope you enjoy this card as much as I did making it! It was very quick and easy too.


Like before, I adhered the cut outs down to some thin chipboard for durability. Then I cut them out.


I lightly inked over the size measurements from the back of the pattern package.


After that I gently crumpled it up. A few small tears may occur, just adds character!


Ink it again using a darker color. This really brings out the creases, making it look even more aged.


Spritz a piece of vintage seam tape with water.


Now squish it up and start drying. This will give it great texture. Dry thoroughly. Set it aside and work on the next step.


I keep a stash of sewing pattern paper flowers close by, you never know when you may need some. These are cut from Tim Holtz's tattered florals die. Paper pierce through the centers and add a small brad. After this I just free formed a center out of the ribbon and put it over the brad with a glue dot. Sorry I forgot a picture.


Next I adhered the size page to card stock. I then took some tinted tape by Vintage Street Market and ran a couple of strips along the bottom. I just love these tapes!   
                                            

Now it is time to put it all together. The tape measure was also from the back of the package.
