Vintage Love Note Cards

Happy Friday my friends, I'm back to share Vintage Love Note cards made using products from Simon Says Stamp Distressed Vintage Notes February 2025 card kit. The kit, not surprisingly has sold out, but if you wish, you can still buy individual items from the kit HERE.

I created 3 cards with pastel Distress Oxide backgrounds and tone-on-tone watercolour stamping using Simon Says Stamp Vintage Love Notes 6" x 8" stamp set and decorated with the Simon Says Stamp Silver Metallic Cord and Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Typed Tags both included with the March 2025 card kit.

I trimmed 3 panels of Distress Watercolor card to 3.3/4" x 5" and coloured with Milled Lavender, Stormy Sky and Old Paper Distress Oxide inks, spritzed with water and dried.

I stamped the floral spray image from Simon Says Stamp Vintage Love Notes, inked with the same ink and spritzed with water to create a watercolour tone-on-tone effect on the backgrounds. I did the same with the sentiment, inked with Scorched Timber Distress Oxide ink.

I inked the butterfly from the stamp set with Dusty Concord, Faded Jeans and Forest Moss Distress Oxide inks, the postmark with Scorched Timber, spritzed with water and stamped on to Distress Watercolor card.

There are dies available for this stamp set (linked below) but I don't have them yet so I used my trusty Tim Holtz/Tonic Studios Mini Recoil Snips to fussy cut around the edges leaving a small border.

I scribbled Picket Fence Distress Crayon over the Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Typed Tags, pushed the crayon into the crevices with my finger and wiped with a cloth to remove the excess.

I fixed Simon Says Stamp Silver Metallic Cord behind the butterflies to add antennae and fixed the butterflies and postmarks to the panels using Simon Says Stamp Thin 3D Foam Squares to add dimension.

I added the Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Typed Tags, fixed the panels to A2 panels of Simon Says Stamp Fog Gray cardstock and matted on to A2 White card blanks.

The weather has turned definitely spring like in my neck of the woods, so I'm planning on having a pottering around in the garden kind of a weekend. Enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned.
