It’s Thursday and time to play at Pals Paper Arts! This week the talented Margaret Moody designed a fabulous sketch…which I flipped over. Literally. I turned it upside-down and created a quick, vintage-style card using the new Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper and the new Forever with You stamp set, both of which will be available June 1st. It uses simple design tricks to achieve the vintage look. I hope you enjoy today’s card!
This card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ tall.
- Vintage colors! Cajun Craze, Always Artichoke, Early Espresso and Not Quite Navy are perfect choices for inking up this vintage sentiment from Forever with You. Add a few Waterspots using the image from French Foliage and your focal point will look like it has been around for ages!
- Vintage accents! Scalloped edging was created using Adorning Accents Edgelits. Embellishing it with Basic Pearls adds a delicately feminine flair.
- Satin and Lace! Very Vanilla 5/8″ Satin Ribbon is perfect for a gorgeous bow! A snippet of Victoria Crochet Trim is reminiscent of an earlier era. Tip: If you are a fan of 5/8″ Satin Ribbon it is still currently available on the Retired List…but only while supplies last!
- Rolled Roses! The patterns in Comfort Cafe are perfect for preparing a trio of rolled paper flowers. Add a sprig punched from Always Artichoke using the Bird Builder Punch, and you have instant ephemera!
Isn’t this Designer Series Paper fabulous! I LOVE the collections that are being offered in the new catalog! And I think that Comfort Cafe will become one of my “go-to” papers.

The entire Schach Family can breathe a collective sigh of relief. Muffy Lin will be fine. This weekend she had a severe reaction to her new heartworm preventative, and became unresponsive. We really appreciate the actions of Dr. Rita, who spent her Mother’s Day mothering our baby girl. And speaking of Mother’s Day, Muffy is no longer fixated on her “baby”…which makes Brody extremely happy! He now has his football back!
So what do you think of today’s card…and the new products I used? Won’t you let me know in your comment? Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one of them. Of course, if you ever have any questions about the cards that I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…
I love this card, another beautiful creation. So glad that Muffy is on the mend and is doing ok. Must of been a scary day.
Ann, vintage perfection. Your flowers are gorgeous. Love these colors together. Another fabulous card.
Hugs

I know how stressful it is when our fur babies get sick. So glad to hear that Muffy is okay. Beautiful card! Love the colors!!!
So glad Muffy is fine! what a scare….LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card ~ those rolled roses are fabulous…hoping to play along ~ enjoy your weekend!
a fabuloussketch and you turned it into a fabulous vintage card Anne-love all the new stuff you are showing us and the rolled flowers are wonderful
glad to hear Muffy is fine-what a scare for you
Ann – I’m so glad to hear Muffy is going to be OK! That sounds like it was a stressful day for everyone. Thank goodness for a wonderful vet!!!! I really like your card – especially the color combo and the flowers. It’s funny, I didn’t particularly care for that stamp set in the catalog, but your card made me really like how it was put together!!!! TFS Beautiful job!
Another Ann Schach stunner – complete with pearls!
stunning along with showing your signature pack of pearls. love the quilling and every special A not K touch! hugs, m
Oh Muffy! You just had to be a part of Mother’s Day – at least the ending was a good one. When Henry switched his med the vet called checking to make sure he was o.k. but no problems. It seemed a few dogs had problems too. Anyway, glad she is A-OK.
Your card is as gorgeous as ever! I just can’t decide which is my favorite detail.
Mike is recovering nicely finally. He had a sleep study last night. Of course, that meant another trip to the hospital with him for that but better than the ICU!

I love that sentiment! Your roses are so pretty.
So glad Muffy is OK. Sorry for the scare.
Another beautiful card, Ann! Love your pretty floral embellishments! So glad Muffy’s OK too! What a scare! Great job with the sketch!
Beautiful card Ann!! Love the rich colours and that is a great stamp with the wording!
You must have got a scare with Muffy! Our dog is on heartworm preventatives too but had never thought about her having a reaction to them. So glad Muffy is over her false “baby” too. Poor girl!
Beautiful! Love the colors!
What a beautiful card, Ann! Every detail and layer is so perfect; love the rolled roses. Loving the roll out of the new products you are using. So sorry about Muffy; that had to be horrible for you! Glad she is doing better. Hope you are well. New room painted, now to put everything together and try to get rid of the headache from the paint fumes, even after using no VOC and low odor paint! Hugs
What a lovely card! Your rolled roses are so perfect, I must learn to make those. Your vintage cards are my favorites.
I am looking forward to seeing all the products that you’re showcasing here (love that paper!).
What a scare with Muffy. So glad she is doing fine now.
How pretty, Ann! I could tell from your Sneak Peek yesterday that it would be and I’m never disappointed! I’m glad Muffy’s back to herself again!
Gorgeous card. As always, you add just the right touches to make your card a stand out. So happy Muffy is back to her old self and I’m sure Brody is too.
Thanks for showing us the new sneak peeks! I’m so excited about all the new products. I’m picking up my catalog tonight & can’t wait to see all the new goodies.
I’m so relieved to hear that Muffy will be fine. So scary when our fur babies have a health scare! Poor little thing. I’m so glad she’s feeling better.
Your rolled roses and the signature folded corners make this card very special. I see a lot of you in it. I ‘m so happy Muffy is better. I hope you did not miss out on your week-end activities. I know you had a lot of plans.
Ann, your card is GORGEOUS as usual! I haven’t had a chance to play with my new goodies yet, but I will soon! And so happy to hear that Muffy is okay!
Wow, simply gorgeous!!

another beautiful card; how big is your circle, so you can cut & roll, for the flowers? so glad to read Muffy’s on the mend; animals are helpless when it’s about sickness & then turning into a big illness; thanks for the health report

Absolutely gorgeous!! What an awful scare – glad it’s over with and all is well.
This is beautiful Ann! It really gives me a cozy, down home feeling! Love the colors, and that gorgeous die cut with the sentiment! I am loving all the peeks of the new products!
I’m so glad Muffy is ok! That had to be a very scary experience! We never know how our furbabies are going to react to a new medication. What a great vet to spend the day taking care of her!
What a beautiful card, Ann! I love the focal; the way you’ve laid it out almost makes it look framed. Beautiful colors, beautiful posies…beautiful bow!
Gorgeous!! Figures you would make me re-think not really caring for this stamp set, lol! You always do miracles!!!
OOH! Love this! Just gorgeous!
Think I will have a little time to play with my new toys when I get home from work this afternoon!
