Shabby Chic Heart Cards

Hello,
Today I'd like to tell you about these lovely layered shabby chic heart cards.
I made these using one of Calico Collage's newest printable kits, as well as some string and lace.
These adorable little cards would make an ideal Valentine's Day gift for your Galentine.

How I Made These Shabby Chic Heart Cards  

What you need:

Calico Collage's Layered Heart Cards
Glue Stick
Scissors
Twine or Lace
Distressing ink

1st you will need to print out your layered heart card from Calico Collage.  This kit includes enough to create 6 to 8 cards.  I did print these out on 32lb cardstock.

Select 1 large card, 1 smaller card, 1 to 2 heart & 1 word phrase from the kit.  Ink all the edges of your paper.

Experiment with how you want to layer your card.  Keep in mind that the smaller card does not have to be perfectly in the center of the larger card; feel free to place it at an angle or even off to the side.  When you're satisfied with how your layers look, glue the smaller card to the larger card.

Now, wrap the twine or lace around the layered card.  I used tacky glue to keep the twine in place, but I later realized I didn't need to do so after adhering my hearts on top.

Glue your heart(s) over the twine, followed by the word phase.   And you are done!  Your adorable cards are ready to give or use as a journaling card in your junk journal!

Hello everyone!  Valentines is only a month away and I thought I would share these cute little retro valentines day ephemera cards with you.  

Free Valentines Ephemera

When I first saw these adorable little characters, my attention was drawn to the flowers, and I knew I had to have more of them.  So I changed the background in both designs to a pattern effect created with the flowers. 

This single digital download include 2 designs, 1 bear & 1 fairy, and is repeated for a total of six 3x4 inch cards.

Sunflower Junk Journal Ephemera

Hi all! Hi all!
Today I want to showcase the latest printable ephemera from Calico Collage, Sunflowers!
I love yellow and wanted to create something that has this bright happy color highlighted.
I was going to make an all yellow rose kit at first, but that idea was scrapped when I remembered the story of Clytie, the girl who was turned into a sunflower.

According to Greek mythology, a nymph named Clytie fell in love with Apollo, the God of the Sun.  Clytie was obsessed with the sun and would spend her days outside looking at it.  This irritated Apollo.  As a result, he transformed Clytie into a sunflower as punishment.  But, because she loved him so much, she watched him move across the sky every day, just like sunflowers do.   

There are numerous versions of this story, but this is the one I was told as a child. 

Now with out further ado, Sunflowers!

Sunflowers Printable Junk Journal Ephemera

Sunflower Junk Journal Papers 

First is this lovely set of printable papers. These pages are so versatile that they will look great in any spring or floral journal! Fold the pages in half to fill up your junk journal, or cut them up to collage into your own ephemera embellishments.
