As you know from some of my previous posts, my mother-in-law loves Vintage Schoolhouse stuff. I must say, I do too! I found this Authentique paper called Curiosity. It has some of the most beautiful color combos and is so distressed and vintage looking. I made my mother-in-law 5 cards out of it. The greys, yellows, teals and cream colors are so beautiful and I absolutely loved working with it. I used the cream Recollections cards and envelopes from Michael's and inked all the edges with Walnut Stain distress Ink, by Tim Holtz. I made chipboard pieces out of the tag pages in the 6X6 paper pad. It was easy! I just cut them out, inked the edges and glued them on a heavy, smooth piece of chipboard with my EK Success permanent glue stick. Then I cut them out with my Tim Holtz scissors and used my hot glue gun to add them to the cards. I love how the cards came out. I tied them up with a big piece of burlap ribbon and put them in a vintage paper bag to give me MIL for her birthday. She loved them and we are excited to make more with my leftover paper!
