Vintage Tags

I'm back again today to show some more of the Kaisercraft "Vintage" stamps in the collection.  I was really pleased with how the 'Cherish' and 'Believe' tags looked, so yesterday I bought the other 3 stamps - 'Treasure', 'Love' and 'Journey'.  I've been having a lovely morning making the other tags while listening to Kate Miller-Heidke on my I-Pod.  She is really quirky and my DH and I recently went to hear/see her at the Sydney Opera House.  I'm beginning to think music and mojo go hand-in-hand!

I've tried to 'age' all the tags using a distress tool and tearing a little, crumpling up and then inking over the creases.  I think my favourite in this group is the 'Treasure' - the suitcase 3D'd really well.

Next week at Alice's, I'm demonstrating 3D cards, so I think I'll be taking along these tags as samples and perhaps replicating a couple of them to leave in the shop.

The weather in Sydney this week has been gorgeous and our cat Frostie thinks so too.


Have a crafty day!

  1. Great work Helen...your cards are fabulous. Also, great work on your blogging. My poor blog is feeling very neglected.

  2. These are all just stunning Helen and beautifully 'aged'! I love the picture of Frostie who has obviously spotted something interesting going on in the undergrowth! Vicky x
