Hello Friends! It's Kristine Davidson here today and I'm sharing a few cards I created with the NEW Vintage Blessings collection.  This is a great collection for those Thanksgiving invitations, Thank You Cards, or really any other themed card. 

 

 

Using a few pieces of paper and some bits & pieces will gives you the option for creating so many beautiful cards. You can also use your left over pieces to create cards.

Hello Friends! 

 

It is Kristine Davidson with you today and I'll be sharing 2 layouts using the latest collection from Vintage Blessings. 

The first layout is called " Love & Laughter " 

 

This layout was created with 1 piece of 12x12 patterned paper and the rest was used with 3x4 journal cards that I cut out from the Journaling Card Elements paper. So simple to create a layout using these cards as 3x4 pieces of paper and not necessarily journaling cards. You can use the reverse side, only parts of the card or trim what you need! 
 

 

I added a few pieces of stickers from the 4x6 sticker pack, a few chipboard pieces and some enamel dots. I did add some glossy accents on the hearts to add a bit of glossy shine and dimension.

My second layout is called " Thankful "
 

 

I used a bit more papers on this layout. I love how they are match each other and the picture kind of fits perfectly with this collection! 

 

 

 

I used the Thankful chipboard piece to create my title. For some extra depth and dimension I used some dimensional adhesive underneath and of course layered around the title and photo.

 

I hope you enjoyed and found some inspiration today !  Remember to share your pages with us on instagram using #SimpleStories

Hello Friends! It's Kristine Davidson here today ;) I am here to share 2 layouts using the NEW simple set OLD SCHOOL. It was perfect for a few recent photos of my niece and nephew. Getting back to school is such a big event. I remember those new school supplies. I loved them!  
 
This first layout is called Grow Learn Discover. 

I used the 4x6 journal element and cut it up to create my title. No hard decisions or doubts about a title. Nice and Easy! The one thing I really don't fuss over too much is a title. I usually find inspiration from a sticker or diecut from the kit. This was no exception. 

 
As you can see from the element sheet - I cut out the clock, Used a 3x4 card to add details to my page. This is a simple set collection and you get 2 sheets of 3 papers and a sticker sheet. So you make the kit last by using some elements from one single sheet! GENIUS! Not really, but it does help add details to your layout ;)

My second layout is called Back 2 School
 
Time for my niece to head off to grade 9. I still can't believe she's 14 and will probably be driving a car in 2 years. OYE! 


 

This layout was created on a 12x12 piece of black cardstock and I wanted to had some white. Instead of using white as my base I layered it with a patterned paper and the black cardstock. I find it breaks it up as I used some neutral colors for my die cuts. I still added dimensional adhesive and created my layers. 

I still have a few pieces of scrap paper left from this collection - enough to create a card or two for those teachers ;) 
 
I hope you feel inspired to create today and perhaps we'll see your " Old School " layouts on social media! Tag us @SimpleStories_ and of course you can come follow me @KristineDavidson 
 
Thanks everyone!
