Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace die of the Month April - Vintage typewriter

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog.

 I'm presenting my inspiration card made with this month's die set from 

Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace Club .

Becca Feeken designed a very special die cut and here's the card I've made with it.

Isn't it amazing?!!

This typewriter die set has no less than 14 elements. 

And once put together it is a 3 dimensional type writer which can

 lay flat so it fits in an envelope.

I started with the base of the card. A top fold square card from kraft cardstock.

I glued on Tim Holtz papers, which are the perfect background for my vintage typewriter.

After I cut out all the elements using black, grey, brown and silver cardstock

 I assembled the typewriter. It is a bit of a job but the die set comes with a very clear instruction.

I wanted my type writer to have a vintage look so 

I aged the metal parts using Ranger inks and vintage distress collage medium.

I really love how it turned out and the best part is the dimension of the type writer 

as you can see here:

This is also a  great die for your masculine cards and projects!

Vintage tags

Hello, toaday I'm sharing three vintage collagede tags I've made to put in future junk journals.

I've tried to make the tags in 3 different styles.

The first tag is made in my favorite style with Tim Holtz papers and ephemera.

There's also washi tape, stickers and stamped tea bags on it.

 I added metal buttons and a little nautic charm.

The second tag has a more 60's fibe.

The background paper is old sewing paper and there are sewing related elements on it.

Buttons, some stitching, lace and a scissors charm.

The lady I cut from an old magazine.

The last tag has a more nature feel, with the plants and duck.

The charm is a little leave.

I would like to enter these tags in this challenge:

Miniature Apothecary

Hi, my next project is something I wanted to make for a long time and I finally did it. 

It's a miniature apothecary shadowbox.

I used a lot of Tim Holtz products. 

The box is a Tim Holtz divided vignette, 

Most bottles are covered in a layer of Ranger Distress collage medium 

to make  them look vintage.

The paper I used in the boxes is also from Tim Holtz: the Etcetera paperstash.
