One of the perks of being a demonstrator is being able to get our hands on stamp sets before everyone else.  With the four sets that are available to earn with the Sale-a-bration event, we were allowed to order one set.

The vintage labels set really caught my eye because of the …. well, the vintagey feel!  I love that style!

Here are two cards made with that set.

Some of you will look at this card and think – really? tempting turquoise? but sometimes you need something bright, and besides the colours of turquoise, cameo coral and chocolate chip look great together!  The circular image coordinates with the scalloped circle punch too!  I punched out the center of the image and popped it up and put the greeting inside.  At the end, I realized it needed something a bit more and played around with putting the paper piercing in various different spots, and finally came up with just 5 or 6 of them inside the circle.

This card uses the rectangular image.  I created a frame by stamping it on some heavy card, and cut out the centre by hand. Then I stamped the image again on vanilla card stock, placed the frame over top and stamped an image in the centre.  This card also uses bits of designer paper from the Bella Bleu series.
