A Vintage Style Thank You

I made this card to show my thanks to the wonderful group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that I am a part of:  The Pretty Pals.  It's an delightfully eclectic group of stampers of all types, styles, and backgrounds and a continual source of encouragement and enthusiasm.

I wanted to stretch (just a little) outside my comfort zone and style for this card so I decided to reach for a color that I rarely use:  Rich Razzleberry.  I mixed it with Very Vanilla, Perfect Plum, and a pop of Summer Starfruit.  I really love the results!

It has the vintage appeal that I love and the purple colors give it a very regal, royal appeal.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Ex Libris, Daydream Medallions, Papaya Collage, Lovely Little Labels
Ink:  Rich Razzleberry, Early Espresso, Summer Starfruit
Paper:  Very Vanilla CS, Perfect Plum CS
Tools:  Stampin' Trimmer, Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Floral Framelits, Little Labels Punch Pack
Embellishments:  In Color Dahlias, Linen Thread

Fun with Fabric Part II

Creating beautiful projects with fabric is so easy!  Here is a sweet hair clip - made with Tea for Two Designer Fabric and the 5/8" Flower Trim.

• Cut a 2" x 18" strip of Designer Fabric.  Fold it in half lengthwise and then fold in half lengthwise again, so you have a strip that's 1/2" x 18"
• Roll it tightly starting at one end, apply glue (I used a hot glue gun) as you go and twisting/folding the fabric strip as you go
• I then glued the Flower Trim around the edge
• I used craft bobby pins (purchased at Beadaholique.com).  They have a special round pad for glueing that makes it so easy to attach the flower.  
• I used Fabric glue to attach the flower to the bobby pin
