One of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! is its gorgeous Designer Series Paper, especially the Everyday Enchantment collection from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. It reminds me so much of my grandmother’s aprons from many, many years ago. For today’s card, I decided to pair this paper up with the large flowers from the Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper collection. I hope you enjoy my vintage creation!
This card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- Label! I selectively inked the lined image from Apothecary Art in order to delete the lines. I then fussy-cut it out. Because I thought it needed something larger for balance, I created mini-blossoms using the Flower Punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. This resulted in covering the stamped flowers. Oh, well! Because the So Saffron label looked too plain, I used the Waterspot stamp from French Foliage for a little aging and added a few swirls with the Elegance Wheel. Tip: Notice how the bottom margin is wider than the top margin? This helps to anchor the sentiment label. And yes, there is wee bit of sparkle, courtesy of Vanilla Shimmer Smooch!
- It’s the bow, don’t you know! After creating this double-looped bow from Very Vanilla and Pool Party Seam Binding, I smooched it with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz and crinkled it up. It is stamped with the Waterspot stamp! (Coming Soon: Double Loop Bows Video)
- Flower Power! So Saffron paper curls add a touch of whimsy to the popped up blossom snipped from Attic Boutique paper. Of course, I couldn’t resist adding a circle of Pearls!
You did if you are Kathi! Here is what Kathi said:
What a beautiful, romantic card! I love the pretty colors, all the pearls, and how you added the little flowers to the banner! What an honor it would be to win this beauty!
Kathi, just send me your address and I will mail your card out to you! Thanks to all of you who left comments.
So what do you think of today’s card? It will be heading out in the mail tomorrow to one of my very talented downline members as a belated birthday card. Did I hit the mark with feminine and vintage? Your comments are always important to me, and I do read each and every one of them. So please, won’t you leave me a comment. Of course, if you ever have a question about the cards that I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…

Beautiful vintage card. I do love these papers but haven’t had a chance to use mine yet. x
Oh Ann, my “vintage” just doesn’t hold a candle to yours! Your card is SO ELEGANT!
Love this card!! The colors are fantastic and so vintage and the ribbon treatment is awesome. I will have to rember this one too.
I’m not usually a fan of bright colors, but this is really gorgeous, Ann!
OMGosh! Those tiny little flowers under the greeting just made my day!!!
This card is STUNNING!!!!
This card makes me think that Iowa is a more romantic place than SC. Must be the “Bridges of Madison County” syndrome.
How beautiful, ANN! I never would have thought of combining these two papers but I love them together. Your bitty flowers are a sweet addition too.
Is this a fun card or what? I love all those little details but I think I like the little curls the best! I have been trying to come up with a good card using that paper and just can’t capture it yet. Love that bow! I will wait patiently for the video!

Brilliant card. You continually knock my socks off with your creativity!! well done as always!
Love the placement of the little flowers, leaves, and pearls under the sentiment. The paper curls bring the big flower to life. Perfect!
Great color palette! Typical Schach artistry!
Very beautiful! Your paper curls caught my eye right away. Such a great idea! I’m sure the recipient will love it!
That is a really beautiful card!
GORGEOUS card!! I love all the little details you added to your card! FANTASTIC idea with the ribbon!! I gotta try that!
Your card is lovely Ann. I really like the sprigs you added and stamping on the ribbon is an idea I will have to try. Really adds to the vintage feeling of your card.
Wonderful how you used the DSP – the large flowers are so dramatic! And the paper sprigs are sweeeeet – what a cute effect!
So beautiful! The colors just jump off the page and I think this in one of my very favorite DSP ever. Thank you for sharing all of your incredible creativity.
Definitely vintage!! The paper curls are such a creative idea. You always manage to come up with some new creative idea to share with us. Beautiful.
Oh my gosh, I almost fell out of my chair when I saw I was the winner of one of your gorgeous creations! I cannot tell you what an honor it is to receive an Ann Schach creation, I will cherish it always.
I love, love, love this vintage birthday card! That label with the flowers and pearls is so pretty! And only you could think of doing those paper curls, what a nice touch!
Thanks again for allowing us to win one of your cards, I can’t wait to see hold it in my hands!
I hadn’t thought about it but you are right the paper does remind me of my grandmother’s aprons! Great card. Love the paper curls.
Gorgeous, Gorgeous Card! Love the ribbon, love it all!
Hi Ann! Such a beautiful card!! I really like the label with those dimensional flowers. That is such a pretty look. The paper pieces are a cool look too. And I can’t forget your stunning bow! I like the water spots on the seam binding. Very clever!! I’m looking forward to your videos.
Beautiful! Very vintage! Love the ribbon treatment.
LOVE that label, Ann!
Gorgeous card – love the sentiment. The paper curls are very intriguing! Wouldn’t they make wonderful seaweed in an “under the sea” card?
I love the little sprigs on your card. You are so clever! The label with the pearls and the little flowers is so attractive.
Give hugs to the Twins from the Girls!
