Welcome to the Vintage Americana collection! We're in the midst of some strange times right now, so perhaps it may prove to be therapeutic to reflect on the good 'ole days with the help of these gorgeous materials.
A Note From Tricia
I'm getting excited about our next Facebook LIVE workshop opportunity. By now, many of you have already received your Butterflies Page Kit, but no worries if you haven't. I'd still love to "see" you there.
We'll meet at 3pm Central on the Club Scrap Facebook page (not the private chat group). If you plan to work along with me, you'll need a 12" paper trimmer and accordion pocket file. If you just want to hang out, that's fine, too! Newbies, this is a terrific way to see how our special editions collections come together.
Our expo schedule continues to remain in flux. As soon as we're 100% certain we can exhibit at a show, you'll be the first to know. The July schedule is on shaky ground, at best, but we remain hopeful. Meanwhile, let's stay connected and motivated at our Club Scrap chat group.
What's Ahead?
We're getting colorful next month with July's Prism collection. I enjoy topics like this because they're essentially "themeless" and provide a wonderful backdrop for absolutely anything. Our plans for the kit are bright, bold and very, very classy.
Inks and Fonts
If you like to dabble in hybrid or digital projects or just want to print a title to coordinate with the collection, download the Rust and Nails Vintage Farmhouse font.
If you're well-stocked with Club Scrap's ink pad selections, you'll find the Tangerine, Sapphire, Red, India Black, and White Pigment pads to be excellent stamping companions. Are you watching for certain colors to return to stock? We continue to experience Covid-related delays from our US manufacturer. Thank you for your patience!
Vintage Americana Page Kit
Vintage Americana is our 253rd monthly kit, and it's the "star" of the show. Can you believe it? That number alone makes my jaw drop in awe. I love the sentiment we've included on one of the border strips. "Memories take us back. Dreams take us forward." The second half of the year is going to be a wonderful one with many beautiful collections to come!
Vintage Americana Card Kit
Many of the sentiments chosen for this set of cards are perfect for honoring those who are working sacrificially for the good of all. We're also featuring two non-traditional folds including a dimensional "box" card that lays perfectly flat for mailing, and the mechanical "wiper" card with a pop-up sentiment. Don't let these unique structures intimidate you. I'll walk you through the easy assembly steps in our monthly video tutorial.
Vintage Americana Stamps
I've only had a few hours to spend with these classic stamps, but I'm 100% in love and can't wait for more playtime! Check back later this month for my blog detailing the "how I did it" for each card shown above. I'm always inspired by what you create with the stamps, as well, so be sure to share on the chat group!
Vintage Americana Hybrid
Lastly, expand your creative options with our hybrid collection. All of the elements can simply be downloaded and printed. With some basic skills, you have even more potential! Subscribe for just $2.95, and it will be in your inbox first thing on the 1st of each month!
I'll share more details about the Vintage Americana page kit on tomorrow's blog. See you there!
