Vintage Jewelry

Shelley Haganman is currently making her own jewelry using photos but thought Lisa's vintage lady stamp from her "Antiquated Collection ~ Society Lady" would make for a great vintage charm. First, Shelley stamped the image from the "Society Lady" set and tinted it with walnut ink. Next she scanned the image and reduced it to the size of her glass piece which was 1" x 2". Shelley then placed Glossy Accents on the glass piece and attached it to the stamped image. Once the glossy accents was completely dry Shelley set the glass charm into the setting! Using a Fabric adhesive Shelley attached a piece of burlap to the back and hung the charm from a piece of velvet ribbon.


The canvas piece Shelley used stamps from "Society Lady" and "Stylish and Fashionable". She stamped both images on to old music paper and tinted it with walnut ink. Then Shelley used Glossy Accents on the bird and the center part of the scrolled piece. These accents finished off her project just the way she wanted!!!!


Thanks Shelley for sharing your projects with us. To see more of Shelley's work please visit her blog ScrapperGirl: scrappergirl.typepad.com

For the Fine and Dandy Gentleman in your life.

Vintage stamps are perfect for Christmas themed cards or projects.  The new stamps from Lisa Pace's Antiquated Collection Fine and Dandy stamp set are perfect for a more masculine project or gift tag. 

Wendy Vecchi combined the Fine & Dandy gentleman with some of her Art Parts and they work perfectly with the stamp set!  Wendy inked the gentleman with Ranger Festive Berries Distress Ink, then she cut the color and pocket out of a second stamp and layered it on the larger image to give it a little more detail.

Lisa Pace made this beautiful ornament or gift tag using the gentleman's puff from the same Fine and Dandy stamp set. 

Lisa shares lots of details on how she made the gift tag on her blog here.  We are also sharing lots of project images over at the Antiquated Collection Facebook page, be sure to join us!
