Vintage in thirty minutes? No way! Well guess what…YES way! Sure, I used a standard layout and one of my favorite techniques, but I really do like how it turned out. Be sure to watch the video for some tips and tricks…but please ignore the barking dogs! And because this is a “From Me to You” card, I will provide detailed instructions. Enjoy!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Quick Vintage Monochromatic Card
The finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- Stamp the Floral image from the Fresh Vintage stamp set in VersaMark ink onto Naturals Ivory card stock. Heat emboss using White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Using a Stamping Sponge, apply Crumb Cake ink in a circular motion over the surface. Add Crumb Cake waterspots with the Waterspot stamp from the French Foliage stamp set, curl the corner using the Round File from the Distressing Essentials Kit, and don’t forget the Pearls! Distress the edges with the Seven Sided Tool from the Cutter Kit. Apply Soft Suede ink to the edges with a Sponge Dauber. (The image mat measures 3″ wide by 2-1/2″ long.)
- Dry emboss a piece of Naturals Ivory card stock which measures 2-11/16″ wide by 4-11/16″ long using the Finial Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Big Shot. Apply Crumb Cake ink using a Brayer. Distress the edges with the Seven Sided Tool, Soft Suede ink, and a Sponge Dauber. Add instant speckles with a Color Spritzer Tool and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Marker.
- Tint a section of Very Vanilla Seam Binding using a Brayer and Crumb Cake ink. Add Crumb Cake Waterspots. Make a bow, and position the tails as you like, holding the ruffles in place with Mini Glue Dots.
- Use the Color Spritzer Tool and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Marker to add speckles to the card base. Add a few waterspots, and daub the edges with Soft Suede ink. Assemble as shown!

This is gorgeous! I try to get my ribbons to sit like you do but never quite get it, maybe a ‘tute’ on that would be great? Mine seem to look flat’ish’ … Thanks Ann xxx
Your card is totally awesome! Maybe at my age, I should say “grovy” instead! Seriously, it is quite beautiful. Had never seen anyone show how to roll the edges before, so a great big thank you for that! Also interested in the spritzer thing you used. Is that a Stamping Up item? Love your dogs and they just add to the video. Thanks so much!

Ann great card and the bow is the bomb! Perfect colors for this monochromatic beauty. I LOVE your video… twins and all. Hugs
Awesome card, video, and pups! Thanks for sharing your fabulous talent … so informative!
Beautiful card Ann. I really like the monochromatic look and the white embossing. When I see cards like this, I can hardly wait to get home and get ink on my fingers.
LOVED the video, Ann. Chuckling at the twins in the background and your giving them the “evil eye”. Some really great tips on adding the vintage looks to both the card elements and the ribbon. Going to give this card a try over the weekend. Thanks SO MUCH for the inspiration!!
WOW!!! This card is absolutely beautiful!!! It’s just amazing the ideas and technique you come up with using this stamp set!! Fabulous job my friend!!! Amy L.
What a beautiful vintage card… and so simple. I enjoyed your video, barking dogs and all. Thanks for the tips on distressing corners.
Ann what a treat to see some of your techniques all in one video. I have one question though, how did you get the emboss resist to start out?
Loved the classical intro, the do do do do rhythm with the daubing, and your Tada fini. The twins added to the fun too you know!

There were no bad, barking twins in the background–they just wanted to have their say in the video too! I’m sure Muffy was anxious to help to distress.
Thanks for an awesome video. Loved your tips, especially about the seam binding.
beautiful vintage card Ann-and I love the fresh vintage set-I am so impressed with the 30 min completion time-I must be the worlds slowest stamper-
Oh so pretty. That is my favorite look.
First of all I love your vintage monochromatic card. No one does vintage as well as you do.I have the french Foliage stamp set and never thought to use the stamp that you did to make my cards look more vinatge. When I can stamp again I will be using that stamp a lot! I loved watching your video. Now I know how your roll your corners to look the way that you do. Thank you for sharing so much of what you do Ann. I had to chuckle when you said that you were giving the twins the eveil eye. It was fun to hear them.

Gorgeous monochromatic card! Love the ribbon treatment.
Hugs, m
Just fabulous, Ann! It’s…get ready for it…”sepia-sational!” Thanks for the awesome video tutorial, too. Hello twins! Hee hee! ๐
Oh, I loved the video from the added canine comments to the phone ringing to such technical terms! Love the tutorial video almost as much as the card! Great job!

Stunning, gorgeous, fantastic, whatever else can come out of my thoughts and keyboard! I loooove this card! Just almost made me gasp when it came on the screen. All those fantastic details! I just can not say enough how much I really like this. Enough, idle chit chat before your head gets too big to fit through the doorway! I gotta go check out the video and listen to the kids in the background!

P.S. Can you tell I really loved this card?
Love this Ann – I pinned to my card favs! Thanks for all the wonderful tips today…Barb
Thanks for all the hot tips Ann, You make it look so easy my friend! Your card is as usual STUNNING!
I enjoyed your video, Ann. There were a lot of good tips in it. I especially liked the barking dogs!
Beautiful card! Love your vintage style. Thanks for the terrific tutorial.
Love how you kept the video recording while you scolded the boxers. Sounded a lot like me when I have to make our boxers behave.
Love this look Ann. Thanks for the great tips. I guess the twins had something to say to add to the tutorial. They need their own blog!!
Love the video and how the twins helped you out!
Enjoyed your video very much and the barking dogs made my day (I have 2 labs)!!! I appreciate your lay back manner of instructing techniques that I have wanted to learn. Thank you so very much. BTW – I love all of your cards. You are such an inspiration!

I have a feeling that the camera does not do these vintage cards justice. You have to actually see them to fully appreciate them.
Very informative and you make it look so easy ๐ I especially like the tip about coloring the ribbon – thank you
Beautiful card and great video as well.
Thank you.
You do know that Muffy and Brody where just trying to put their 2 cents worth in helping as well on making of the card. :}
Nice to hear the twins as well

what a fabulously fun tutorial Ann! I felt like we were sitting together and creating….how fun would that me for me….one day!!!! all the little tips and helps along the way were perfect ~ thank you SO much for this Ann, enjoy your day ๐
Beautiful card Ann and the directions were clear and helpful. Can’t wait to watch the video!
a great WOW & more WOW tutorial; every stampers dream, to have b.g. “music” during their taping…luv it!!!! thanks!
Great tips and you make it look so easy. I will be trying some of these ideas to try a vintage card. It’s out of my norm but your video made it look easy. Thanks.
OMGosh! I LOVE IT! As soon as the page loaded, those were the first words out of my mouth! I’ve cased one of your cards before, with just a few minor changes to make it easier for a class, but I honestly would not change a thing on this card! AWESOME CARD! BTW, I also gave you credit for the card I cased! ๐
Such beauty in 30 minutes! You’ve still got so many gorgeous “Ann” touches here. ๐
Ann, I loved your video. Also the dogs barking! That’s how it goes at my house when I try to record a video ๐ Quick question about the ribbon: What do you do to prevent the ink from rubbing off of it? (I know when we dye it, Even when try, it seems to bleed onto the paper later still). Does the brayering not give off as much ink maybe?
WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! Love this!!!!
Ann, I forgot to add that I really enjoyed learning how to brayer dye the ribbon too. Very cool!
Hi Ann! What a treat to see you create one of your vintage style cards! I love the video and all your tips. I liked seeing how you turned the corners and broke them down and the twins saying “hi” of course. lol! This is a beautiful card. Thanks for sharing with us.
Beautiful sepia tone – like an old photograph! Now I have to watch the video because I want to hear the dogs and I want to know about the wonderful ruffled bow!
Beautiful – as usual, and I particularly love how you’ve done the ribbon. I’m off to case!
Beautiful card and a great video. Loved that the twins helped you tell the story!
So beautiful, Ann! Even I could make this one I think. Love that you add the video tutorial. Thanks!
Utterly brilliant, thankyou so much, I am always so inspired when I’ve been here! So funny with the twins joining in, though, and you stayed so calm!
That was really informative, Ann. Love your dogs! I’ve never noticed the water mark stamp before! Gotta get that one!
Yummy! I will be so sad to see the SAB goodies go!
