My Vintage Valentine Blog Hop Feb 12 and 13 with KinderStampO

Welcome to "My Vintage Valentine Blog Hop" being hosted by Jesse of KinderStampO. If you have arrived here from Jessica - Thatzuneek than you are heading in the right direction but if you want to start at the beginning go back to Jesse-KinderStampO because I know you wouldn't want to miss any of the fabulous projects, ideas or tutorials that will be shared today Feb 12 and tomorrow Feb 13. Jesse said the sky is the limit for our projects because she loves vintage....lace, pearls, distress, ribbon, etc.
Here is my gift bag that I made for the hop and I tried to at least reach the clouds with it!!!
I had a burgundy bag from my Christmas stash and decided it would be perfect to do up in vintage. If you don't have a burgundy that use a Kraft bag.

I made the flowers using Valentine Cupcake liners. I cut 3 different size circles, sprayed them with Cranberry Glimmer Mist. Allow them to dry and then just wad them up, open and layer them and add a clear jewel gemstone to the center.

I took one of the Tim Holtz Adornments and using Glossy Accent I placed it right on top of the crown that I used from the Tim Holtz Urban Grudge Stamp set. I used this stamp set on all of my bags' project. My tag was distressed with the Tim Holtz distressing tool and Pumice Distress Ink. My glass embellishments I made by going to the jewelery department at Hobby Lobby and buying the pieces, went at home and put them together. I saved a lot of money doing these this way. I now have lots and lots of left over supplies to make more.

With my left over paper I made these 3" x 3" mini cards. They will make great gift cards. I will use one for my bag and save the other for another gift.

I toke a piece of 3/4" x 10" strip of the Making Memories Je T Adore paper, scored it every 1/8" and then I accordian folded the strip, glue the two ends together and then adhere it to a 1" circle. I placed a 3/4" red circle to the top. My heart is a from a piece of the scrap that I fussy cut; I added Glossy Accent to the top to make it look like a raised embellishment. It had to dry overnight but once it was dried I was able to put it on my red circle.
My second 3" x 3" card is again used from the scraps but this time I just distressed all of the pieces using the Tim Holtz Distress Tool and Pumice Distress Ink. I used Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher to give some dimension to my card. My stamp is a Hero Arts Hearts and Flowers , colored with R81 and R83, and then I added just a little Clear Stickles to some of the flowers. My little Valentine sticker comes from Mrs. Grossmans.

  28. Love your creation =) What i love about vintage is that there is a feel to it that takes you back to times where women were ladies and the men were gentlemen. There are still a few selected ones that is a gentleman but it is getting rare.

  52. This gift bag is absolutely gorgeous and the cards are sweet and nostalgic. I love vintage because it reminds me of simpler, more innocent era when beauty was part of everything from art and clothing to home decor. I think I must have lived in the Victorian or Elizabethan time periods in a former life! LOL I'm already a follower.
    Thanks for sharing more of yourself with us.
