Hey there Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. This week I visited one of our local scrapbook stores and found a couple of pieces of vintage looking paper. By using the vintage paper I picked up and some of the newly released chipboard pieces, I was able to create this beautiful Vintage Happy Birthday Card. Read below as I share with you how I created my Vintage Happy Birthday Card.
To start, pull out two of the Mini Dress Form Charms. Apply two coats of Antique Linen Distress Ink to each dress form. Once the paint has dried, apply Vintage Photo Distress Crayon to the sides of each dress form, rub the crayon wax in with your finger. After the Vintage Photo Distress Crayon has been applied, apply Walnut Stain Distress Crayon to the sides of each dress form, rub the crayon wax in with your finger. Set the dress forms aside.
Take out one of the small flowers from the package. Apply two coats of Antique Linen Distress Paint to the flower. Once the paint has dried, apply Vintage Photo Distress Crayon to the sides of the flower, rub the crayon wax in with your finger. After the Vintage Photo Distress Crayon has been applied, apply Walnut Stain Distress Crayon to the sides of the flower, rub the crayon wax in with your finger. Set the flower aside.
Apply two coats of Vintage Photo Distress Stain to the Happy Birthday sentiment. After the Distress Stain has dried, apply Walnut Stain Distress Crayon to the sides of the Happy Birthday Sentiment, rub the crayon wax in with your finger. Set the Happy Birthday sentiment aside.
With a Blending Tool, blend Vintage Photo Distress Ink and Ground Espresso Distress Ink onto the Drifting Feather. Apply Walnut Stain Distress Crayon to the sides of the feather and rub the crayon wax in with your finger. Set the feather aside.
Apply two coats of Walnut Stain Distress Stain to two of the Delicate Lace Bars. Once the bars have dried, trim the scroll part off to fit the film strip frame. Set the bars aside.
Cut the Delicate Lace Doily in half and then into two quarters. Apply Emboss It Ink to each doily piece and sprinkle Burnt Copper Leaves Embossing Powder over each doily. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with your heat tool.
The last chipboard piece you'll need is the Film Strip Section Frame. Apply Emboss It Ink to the film strip frame and sprinkle Burnt Copper Leaves Embossing Powder over it. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with your heat tool.
Trim your Found Relative to 3" x 4". Once the Found Relative has been cut down, take the Spun Sugar Distress Crayon and apply a bit to her cheeks. Rub the crayon wax with your fingers.
Before assembling your card front, you'll need to cut one piece of patterned paper that measures 4" x 5 1/4" and cut a second piece of patterned paper that measures 3 3/4" x 5". Distress the edges of each patterned paper piece with an edge distressor. Once the edges have been distressed, ink the edges of the patterned pieces using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a Blending Tool.
Adhere one of the doily pieces in the top left hand corner of the 4" x 5 1/4" piece of patterned paper, making sure the doily sits 1/4" from the top of the patterned paper. Adhere the second doily piece in the bottom right hand corner of the 4" x 5 1/4" piece of patterned paper, making sure the doily sits 1/4" from the bottom of the patterned paper. Once the doilies have been adhered in the corners, adhere the 3 3/4" x 5" piece of patterned paper overtop of the 4" x 5 1/4". To finish the 3 3/4" x 5" patterned paper, roll the top left hand corner down slightly and the bottom right hand corner up slightly to expose part of the doily.
Adhere the Found Relative to the back of the Film Strip Frame. Adhere one of the delicate lace bars to the top of the film strip frame, showing half of the lace bar. Adhere the second delicate lace bar to the bottom of the film strip frame, showing half of the lace bar.
Add foam squares to the back of the film strip frame. Adhere the film strip frame to the middle of the 3 3/4" x 5" piece of patterned paper.
In the bottom right hand corner of the film strip frame, adhere the drifting feather, the flower and a mini dress form charm.
With the elements adhered on the right hand side of the film strip frame, adhere the Happy Birthday sentiment to the bottom middle of the film strip frame. You'll need to add foam squares to the left hand side of the sentiment in order to make it the same height as the right hand side.
To add some interest in the top left hand corner of the film strip frame, adhere the other mini dress form charm, one white carnation, two white roses and four brown roses. Once the flowers have adhered, to add some extra interest to them, apply Vintage Silk Opal Magic Wax with your finger to each flower.
Cut a cardbase out of Super Stock that measures 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4". You'll want to cut a piece of patterned paper that measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". Distress the edges of the patterned paper with an edge distressor. Once the edges have been distressed, ink the edges of the patterned paper piece using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a Blending Tool. Adhere the 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" patterned paper piece to your cardbase. Adhere the cardfront to the
4 1/4" x 5 1/2" patterned paper piece.
Here are a some close ups of the finished Vintage Happy Birthday Card.
