Cardmaking is a Breeze with Altered Pages Vintage Images

to Altered Pages and I hope you are enjoying your Sunday! Susan here bringing you a lovely assortment of Christmas Cards I made using Altered Pages Digital Collage Sheets, assorted papers, ribbons and bling. It doesn't take a lot of time or supplies to make beautiful vintage greeting cards.


If you haven't been online ALL weekend, then you might have missed the 48 hour whirlwind of events across the creative world that was World Cardmaking Day. There were all kinds of fun live streaming festivities, events and demos going on all in celebration of making CARDS. 

So, in honor of card making - I wanted to share a few Holiday cards I've put together using my stash of goodies from AlteredPages.com.


This simple card is created using a vintage beauty from "Lovely Winter Blue Girls AP-2045" digital collage sheet from AlteredPages.com. This image has the sentiment included, so there's not much to be done. I added some pearly photo corners to the top, a distressed matted border then added some beautiful ribbons to tie everything together. Simply LOVELY! 


Forest green and brick red adorn this traditional card featuring vintage images from AlteredPages.com. I just love the Jolly St. Nick from AP-1677 More Vintage Christmas Tags peeking in the window of this snowy scene from AP-1678 Vintage Christmas Cards. Some punched corner mats and layered punched pieces are accented with shimmery ribbon and pearls for another festive greeting card.


This is a fun Christmas card using these adorable mischievous kittens around the tree is a single vintage Altered Pages image AP-CH608. It just makes me laugh out loud - our pets were always knocking the tree over...if we hadn't done it ourselves already!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
