Vintage clothing, antique furnishings and vintage papercrafts are all the rage right now. Stamp Express reproductions of vintage postcards on our quality parchtone cardstock make wonderful greeting cards, scrapbook pages and mini-books. Cut them into tags, die-cut shapes, or just rectangles. They look great when sprayed with Glimmer Mist, distressed with ink, or used plain. Get started by purchasing packs of various themes at our on-line store. These will be added to the store next week. Here are some examples.

Right now butterflies are very popular. Stickers, stamps, digis, die cuts, and papers are fluttering around at high speed. Below are the winners in the Stamp Express butterfly challenge. The Grand prize was awarded to Brenda Trimmer for her unusual butterfly shaped book. It features quotes about butterflies on one page with pictures and scientific facts about each species on the following page. Very cool!
The #1 card was designed by Pat Knecht. She used Outlines stamps and a discontinued butterfly stamp from Stampin’ Up for her project. Tracy Myers took 2nd place with teabag folding surrounded by various butterflies on vellum. Sheila Roos has a photo card with her new grand-daughter’s picture. So clever for the 3rd place winner. Then Betsy Gibney punched and layered the 4th place card. And Jan Vick submitted the 5th place card with a vellum butterfly and scalloped Nestie. Enjoy these cards. They’re like a breath of Spring!
