See 2 New Print-n-Fold Baby Cards, Links, Beautiful Samples and My Miracle Grow Photos.

Hi Everyone, in honor of the little new prince we have 2 new adorable print and fold vintage style baby cards for .99 cents each,  plus some beautiful new samples by our Design Team, and Miracle Grow photos of my flowers and some cuties.


This Print-n-Fold style Baby Boy card is a digital download you can print over and over to create adorable baby boy cards with a sweet vintage style fit for a prince.  The image is 300 dpi/ppi high resolution jpg file which you can re-size, crop and edit (just be sure to save edits with a new name to keep your original file).  The finished printed card is just over 6.5" high and 4.5" wide when closed and 9" wide when open.  Ooops, don't look at my crooked 'door knobs' I did when I added 2 brass office brads.


 Here are some directions but I probably made it look more complicated than it really was. 


This is the cute Print-n-Fold style Baby Girl Card,  a 99 cent digital download you can print over and over to create adorable baby girl cards with a sweet vintage style. The image is 300 dpi/ppi high resolution jpg file which you can re-size, crop and edit (just be sure to save edits with a new name to keep your original file). The finished printed card is just over 6.5" high and 4.5" wide when closed and 9" wide when open.

Here's a photo I came across when searching under 'baby' of some old dolls for sale at the antique show we sold at a few weeks ago. There was a sea of dollies covering several tables.

Here's a pretty card by DT Member Melissa Bove who used the button card from our Button Up Digital Stamp Set with some of our printable papers, some seam binding a pretty rose and I love the stick pin!
Check out DT Member Darlene Pavlick's Sweet Blessings box set of cards she made for a friend with matching envelopes using the rose image from our Garden Printables , sentiment from Digital Flower Garden and some faux embossed 99 cent paper.


DT Member Kathy Clement has created another beautiful card in a garden theme with a matching envelope and the detail and layers she's added are wonderful and so worth seeing!


Kathy used the little girl from our Vegetable Garden Digital Stamp Set and she has a bunch of photos of the card including the matching envelopes she made and the beautiful inside with the sentiment 'Have a Bloomin' Great Day' from our Flower Garden Digital Stamps $9.95 Set.  I am so in love with this stamp set from the cool lettering to the jumbo size veggies!

I'm also in love with these 2 sweet kids, my niece and nephew, who my 80 year old mom looks after weekdays for my brother.  He's a single dad and doing an amazing job but I have to give my mom credit for teaching these kids all about gardening among 1000 other bits of wisdom she has passed on to them. They live downstairs so the kids were on my deck today when I took photos of my flowers that are growing so well - thanks to Miracle Grow and the kids who know all about 'dead heading old flowers' to get more new blooms.

We've had a Azalea topiary tree in our bathroom for about 5 years with no blooms but I started feeding it Miracle Grow after I saw the constant buds that keep coming on this one. I will let you know if it blooms. Scott bought me this one for $16.00 this year and I plan on bringing it indoors for the winter so it can do this all over again next summer!


I love this flower box outside my kitchen window as our kitchen table is right by the window

I love container gardening and always keep my eyes peeled for second hand pots at thrift stores and flea markets. Just toss some rocks in the bottom so you get good drainage.

Lastly, I will leave you with a photo our daughter Holly sent me of her puppy Fred which made me burst out laughing because it totally shows his naughty, funny personality. Not sure if this was taken after he snacked on about 6 pairs of her shoes but doesn't he look like a little trouble maker?

 Don't forget our next Design Team Challenge and August Linky Party starts next Monday, August 5/13 and runs for a week.  You can submit any sample you have created with our products and you will receive a $6.00 CS Gift Card and be entered to win a $50.00 CS Gift Card (picked by random.org) you can use in our www.craftyvintagegirl.com store.

I've been adding more samples to our Pintrest Boards  if you want to get other ideas, access all our Free Printables and Tutorials!

I came back to add these Linky Parties I've joined in on

Free Flower Printable, New Digital Stamp Sets, See Awesome Samples, Tutorial and Michele's Giveaway!

Hi Everyone

I have a variety of great projects to share today, plus 4 fabulous Stamps Sets now converted to digital, an awesome Giveaway by Michele Kovack and a pretty Summer Flower Printable Gift!  

I thought it would be nice to have a pretty printable image as a free Summer gift and changed the poem a bit. Simply click the image gift below with the left side of your mouse and right click to save it to a picture file. For personal use only please but feel free to share the link.


Perfect for Summer! We only have 8 actual Bathing Beauty Clear Art Stamps left so they have been turned into a new Bathing Beauty Digital Art Stamp Set with 21  designs and large 'fun to color' bathing beauties. All of the digital designs are larger (up to 6.5” H) in the digital download set, re-sizable and we have a variety of digital tutorials for every level linked on Pintrest. There are 10 fun sentiments and  “Life's a Beach" and "Dive into Fun" fit inside both frames. The border of 6 bathing beauties on the bottom is 5” inch long and covers a century of styles.


There are 14 actual Art Studio Clear Art Stamp Sets left and here is the Digital Art Studio download link.  I adore the creativity this set offers with so many detailed, quirky and versatile designs. Create all sorts of altered projects, embellish ATC cards, art journals, greeting cards, scrapbook pages and more. The ATC date stamp and word 'Handmade' are separate from the decorative frame. Spell ATC,  ART or CREATE with decorative letters. The quote 'Art washes away the dust of everyday life' fits inside the paint tube. 'HANDMADE' fits on the front of the stamp with handle.


We have 13 actual Photo Studio Clear Art Stamp Sets left and here is the link to the new Digital Photo Studio download. It includes 24 separate stamps and offers many creative possibilities for printing on the fronts and backs of photos, digital and hybrid layouts, albums, journals, cards, labels, stationary and an array of altered art projects.  The designs are all larger in the digital download set and include a Date and No. stamp, a Photo Log Label, words, quotes, 4 cameras, 2 decorative toppers, 3 corner styles and various bits to embellish with.  *Note. this sample shows the 'new-old tripod camera' now on the digital set as the original was weak.
 

We have 12 actual SL41 Born To Fly Clear Art Stamp Sets left and here is a link to the new Born to Fly Digital Download Set - with 32 separate images -  The fairies are larger now ranging from 4.5"H to 6.5" tall now with many mix and match words, accessories and fun embellishments. The tickets and scallop border will work as a stage. The fairies can hold the wand, star, butterflies, the birdie, flower banner or a sign you create. The outfits and wings are perfect for paper piecing.


DT Member  Michele Kovack has a great Giveaway on her Blog for 3 Crafty Secrets CD's - plus all sorts of other goodies from Cricut, Maya Road, Pink Paislee, SEI and more! You have until tomorrow - to enter on Michele's Blog and she will pick a winner Wed, July 24th at 10 PM CST.



I missed this beautiful lemon tree card Michele just posted so I came back and added it.  She used Inktense Watercolor Pencils and Stickles on the lemons and leaves. The tree is from our Garden Memories $9.95 Digital Stamp Set with an amazing 31 garden theme jumbo sized images and words. The lemon tree is smaller than most and 3.5"H.


Check out this great How to Make Paper Roses Tutorial by Melissa Bove showing step by step how to make gorgeous roses like her sample below made with our 99 cent Rose Swirls Printable Paper and faux embossed 99 cent Pink and Yellow Paper. Garden images are from Garden Paper Set.


You have to see DT Member Kathy Clement's beautiful card box set with vintage floral cards using a cracked glass technique with our Flower Art Printables and Embossed Gold Printable Paper.


DT Member Rebekah Fairies has a great Garden Album she created using our Garden Printable Papers.  Look at the cute envelope she made on the left with the vegetable paper

Rebekah also made this sweet wedding card using our Classic Blue Damask and Pink Class Printable Papers and the jar is from our adorable Button Up Digital Stamp Set.

Lastly a cool idea for creating a stage using ribbon by DT Member Elizabeth Lincoln. We need music stamps and a piano stamp as Elizabeth is a piano teacher and classical pianist. The red sheet music is from our Valentine or Christmas printable papers

I would love to hear what you think of digital stamps and if you ever use them or what you would like to see in new themes?

I hope you are having a great summer and staying cool.  It is cooking hot here!
