Baby Girl Vintage Card

I love the look of vintage so I jumped at the opportunity to use the brand new Spellbinders™ die template S5-021 Cherry Pickin' Frameabilities® and a Spellbinders™ Impressabilities™ to create this faux vintage look. Here are all the details and step by step instructions for your to achieve this look too:

Supplies

• Spellbinders™ Frameabilities® S5-021 Cherry Pickin’
• Spellbinders™ Impressablities™ I2-1002 Butterflies
• ColorBox Razzberry Pigment Brush Pad by Clearsnap
• Vintage image Cotton Scraps by Crafty Secrets
• Perfect Pearls Embellishing Pigment and Perfect Medium by Ranger
• Pink Cardstock
• White Cardstock
• White Acrylic Paint
• Pink Ribbon from Charles Clay & Sons
• Buttons for embellishing

Instructions:

1. To create the letterpress effect on this card simply apply ink directly onto the large frame of Spellbinders™ die template S5-021 Cherry Pickin’.

2. Lay the inked frame cut side up on the Spellbinders™ Magnetic Spacer Plate and position the white cardstock on top of the frame. Cut/emboss the frame using the Wizard™.

3. Apply adhesive to the embossed images of the frame. I used Rangers Perfect Medium which has a sponge applicator.

4. While the adhesive is tacky sprinkle on the pearl pigment and brush off any excess.

5. Remove the S5-021 Cherry Pickin’ die template to reveal a letterpressed, embossed frame with a pearl shimmer.

6. Position your frame over the vintage image. Trim the image to fit and secure on the backside of you

frame with adhesive.

7. Adhere framed image to pink cardstock and trim around the contours of the frame to form a neat border.

8. To create the vintage looking white background I simply painted the Spellbinders™ Impressablities™ I2-1002 Butterflies with white acrylic paint

9. Once dry adhere the painted Impressablities™ onto white cardstock.

10. Fold the pink cardstock to form a card (size 4 ¾ x 6”). Tie the pink ribbon into a decorative knot and secure it to the front of the painted Impressabilities™

11. Finish by adhering the framed image to the center of the card and embellish with buttons.

Following are all the components of this die template:

Die Name: Cherry Pickin’

Die Sku: S5-021

MSRP: $24.99

Limited Edition

Die Dimensions:

Cherry 11/16 x 11/16”

Leaf 11/16 x ½”

Small Frame 2 3/16 x 2 3/16”

Large Frame 4 1/16 x 4 1/16”

To show you how versatile this gorgeous little frame is, I created a completely different card for my second project:

For this card, titled Inspire, I used both the small and large frames of S5-021 Cherry Pickin’. With the small frame and the Wizard™ I created a window in the front of the card. The super cute cherries are part of a fabulous set of new Shapeablities® die templates called S4-266 Assorted Fresh Fruit.
