- Pick the right stamp! Not every stamp is suitable for a vintage-style card! With its flourishes and bird, Friends 24-7 fills the bill!
- Pick the right technique! Emboss Resist works well in creating the vintage look. Here is a video from the archives to review this technique with you!
- Pick the right details! Curled corners and flagged ends add a vintage flair! Distress the edges with Crumb Cake, add a snippet of Victoria Crochet Trim, a Linen Thread mini-bow, and a few watermarks (courtesy of the Watermark stamp from the French Foliage stamp set), and the sentiment takes on an aged appearance in an instant!
- Pick the right embellishments! Baja Breeze Glass Glitter, soon to be retired, accents the image circle, while Basic Pearls are always the perfect vintage touch! A Trinket Key and a Baja Breeze Seam Binding bow completes the look!

Hugs

Ann this is stunning!
I LOVE the color combo and that seam binding is gorgeous!
I love your style and you’ve taught me soooooo much about the vintage style. You ARE the queen of vintage…in my book anyway.
PS: Loved seeing the trip down memory lane too, all the cards are so cute. I never purchased the bots or those types, but still so cute to view.
I’ve been sooo busy at work I’m behind in my comments and replies, but thanks for aways leaving me a comment too. Hope to play along this week, but not sure I have a ‘style’? Hugs.
Well, I hope my name is picked too!!! You could just make 45 of them? Your card is stunning! I love the technique, the colors and how you used the baja breeze glitter. I’ve been playing around with some glitter, but nothing to show for it yet. Hows the twins? Hugs,
Another beautiful card and that certainly reflects your style! So many great vintage details and wonderful tips for “going vintage”! Thanks for sharing!
I love your vintage style, I always learn something when you share how you’ve created your latest beauty! You make it look so easy. Thanks for all the inspiration!
I had a good idea that you would choose Vintage as being your style. I love all of your Vintage cards and I look forward to seeing them weekly. You are such an inspiration Ann. I love that you added your ideas on what to use and ways to make a card look vintage, things I had not thought of. Love your tutorial thank you for sharing it.As for your card…….it is gorgeous! All of the details in this card are wonderful. When it comes to making vintage cards you rock! 🙂

yes I agree that vintage is your signature style-this one is gorgeous ann-the embossed resist technique is so beautiful as is your ribbon treatment-thanks for sharing with us
What a beautiful card, Ann. I, too, love the vintage style. Card afer card, you never fail to come thru. You are a true inspiration to all of us. Thanx for sharing.

Oh, Ann – this is so “you!” Everything about this card says Ann Schach made it – the curled edges, the ruffled ribbon, the watermarks, the sponging, the embossing and even the colors used. And more importantly, the friendship sentiment. You welcome each and everyone of us to your blog wholeheartedly that we can’t help but become blog friends.
Oh Ann! I just love, love, LOVE your vintage style. You do it SO well! I would be honoured to be chosen to receive this GORGEOUS card! Keep up the awesome work!
Ann, you rocked the vintage again! Love the color choice you used!
Ah, a breath of cool, fresh air and boy do I need it! Havig no a/c this week has been really rough! Today, the new one was to be installed and it stormed so it was a “wash-out” they said! This is a fabulous card with all the details. Ribbon, lace, pearls, trinket,and glass – oh my! It is definitely in the details and this rocked it! Since you are going to have a lot of disappointing fans – I think you should make one for each of us or at least give a card a way every few weeks! I think each one of us would be honored to have it! I think I need to get that stamp set after all just so I can “try” to make something similar – just like that is really going to happen! It would be fun to try though! Thanks Ann for all the inspiration and friendship you provide!

Hi Ann,
….I cannot find the right words to say what I´m feeling by seeing your card on todays post. The card is really an artwork, it´s breathtaking. I love the vintage style.Thank you for your tipps to create such an adorable card. It would be a great pleasure for me if you picked me out of the comments.
hugs and smiles Conny
Beautiful as usual. I love the rows of scallops and seam binding right above. Love accents.
Wow – gorgeous! I love everything about this card. Thanks for blessing my day. 🙂
woof, woof (sigh)
Beautiful of course! Love this card.
Wonderful color combination and of course then there’s the famous Ann layers – gorgeous!

Ann, I love your emboss resist cards and this one is certainly another gorgeous creation. The Baja Breeze seam binding, ink, and glitter add a subtle touch of color.
This is definitely your style and you’re a pro at creating the most gorgeous vintage cards! Beautiful Ann!
Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is a fabulous example of true “Schach-Style”! This is beyond gorgeous, Ann! As always, every last detail is perfection. Love it!! 🙂
Love the peaceful serene feeling your card instills, Ann; love the Baja Breeze seam binding, glass and of course, the pearls! I like how the scallops relate to a birdhouse also. TFS the video also, very helpful! Have a wonderful day! Someone is going to be very lucky to receive it! Hugs, Pauline
THIS card is the PERFECT ANN CARD! I am thrilled to look at every single detail of it. When I saw on the opening page “anything goes” I was so excited to open the entire link, knowing I would see your signature VINTAGE and tada! better than PERFECT (hmmm.) Ann – the colors are like heaven on earth to my eyes, my breath was a deep sigh (you do this to me with your signature cards) and I just looked and looked. I was SO glad you described every inch of your process of it PLUS the video. Gosh, you are a pro at this video stuff! (my son says I use “stuff” too much! lol) so videoing/video taping and presenting!! lol The baha (couldn’t resist) baja FRIENDS is SO amazing on the sentiment. My eyes just went BOING from the ribbon to the FRIENDS and back and forth. It was only after I saw the Key..and thought of friendship as a Key to My Heart saying (Gosh, you are brilliant in the subtleties.) The watermark adds so much…have to look that one up. Who would have thought. And the every other pearl on the scallop – Geesh – you go out of the box on your cards…which is what I love! Suffice to say this one is what makes your so spectaculoso in my view as a creative soul. G-d sure looked fondly on you Ann when handing out the artistic talent! And man oh man…how you could part with this one? All part of who you are: Kind. Samara xox
WOW, more Ann Signature Style! And, I’d love to have the card. Your cards are a treasure! Of course there is a bow, pearls and glitter!
Gorgeous card, Ann. Thanks so much for the tips!
Hugs, M
Beautiful card and vintage is my style too. I thanks for the tips. 24-7 is one of my favorite all time stamps. Sorry to see it go–mine will stay right on my shelf. Dar
This card is absolutely stunning; totally your style.
So pretty, love your style and the colors are beautiful.
Ann, this card certainly shows your style. I love all the vintage elements you have included and especially the ideas you have given us on what makes a vintage card. The verse is perfect for your card and I agree that friendships are so important. Stampin Up has been a catalyst for me in meeting (even though it is through cyberspace) so many wonderful talented people.
Very, very nice Ann. Love the vintage look and the resist embossing.
I would LOVE to receive this beautiful card! Vintage is my favorite style (which is why I read your blog all the time!). I have a friend who sends me a handmade card a couple times a year and I so treasure them. Those of us who make cards know how much time, care and love is invested in each and every card. Thanks for the opportunity and I would certainly treasure it as well! Gorgeous card as always!
You are truly the queen of vintage! Your style is unequalled in this realm.
{sigh} Such genuine Ann Schach beauty! I love it. 🙂
Another beautiful card Ann and I’d agree vintage is definitely your style! So many details on your card make it gorgeous, love the pearls. Maybe I’ll win this fabulous card, wouldn’t that be nice. Quick and easy video also.
Thanks for sharing.
WOW..this is stunning Ann…Love the video too! You always do such jaw-dropping work! 🙂

I love your card….I will so miss this stamp set too! (I am going to keep mine for personal use forever)
Thanks for the tips on making a successful vintage card…I think this is one of my favorite styles and you definitely have the knack for it. Thanks so much for being willing to part with this card to one lucky recipeint! (Secretly I hope it is me…grin)
