Vintage Cards with Quietfire Designs Cut Files

I am guest posting for Quietfire Designs this month. Today, I am highlighting the QFD cut files that you can purchase HERE. These cut files are so delicate and I was afraid my Silhouette wouldn't cut them right, but was I wrong! I love their elegant design and they make a great focal point.

My first card uses the Friend cut file and is vintage shabby with girly pink all over.  The doily is by SRM Stickers. I also embellished with a Spellbinders Moroccan die cut, Want2Scrap pearls, paper flower and seam binding.

My second card is also vintage shabby, but milder on the girly scale (just my style). This time the focal point is the lovely Thank You cut file. I did some distressing and stitching on the edges and placed buttons to matched the strip of patterned paper (from Crate Paper's Maggie Holmes collection).

I think this is the first time in a while that I didn't do any stamping on my cards. With these stunning Quietfire Design cut files, I didn't need to. The cut files added more dimension and a different look from my usual stamped cards. And I love the results! On Friday, I have another guest post for another favorite company that offers so many different products I love.

Quietfire Designs Mixed Media Card Set

I am thrilled to be guest designing for Quietfire Designs this month. I love their exquisitely lettered sentiments that come in many sizes. I have a set of three cards to show you today. They all follow the same layout and together make a nice card set to give away as a gift. I do this a lot and the Quietfire Designs sentiment stamps are just the perfect focal point in each card.

For all three, I first stamped the big Penny Black Awakening stamp in aqua, melon and light pink. I then heat embossed with white the lace stamp (from PB Lace Delight) on the bottom and leaves stamp (from PB Tweet Tweet) on the top. Starting from the corners, I then inked Distress inks (Brushed Corduroy and Antique Linen) to show the white embossed images. I made sure there's enough room on my panel to stamp my sentiments on. I then framed that panel with kraft cardstock before I mounted it with foam squares on card bases with coordinating colors. I embellished them with matching buttons and seam bindings with a small Want2Scrap pearl in the center.

My first card uses QFD's gorgeous Thinking of You stamp with Versafine Vintage Sepia ink to make sure it stands out.

This pink card is stamped with No Act of Kindness stamp. I just love that sentiment.

Finally, this card uses All Our Best Wishes stamp.

Thank you for joining me today and I hope you were inspired to create card sets with Quietfire Designs stamps.

I love you by E.B.Browning

Here is another Valentine card in a vintage shabby chic style that I made for one of my daughters. The lovely sentiment is by QuietFire Designs. Don't you just love it? The elegant calligraphy complements this lovely quote from one of our most beloved poets, Elizabeth Barret Browning. I remember memorizing her most famous work, How Do I Love Thee?, in elementary school because I was enamored by her poetry.

I watercolored the background for the quote to match the Pink Paislee papers. The pearls are Want2Scrap and the panel was framed with Spellbinders' Exquisite Labels 11 die.

So, what are your plans for Valentine's Day? And don't forget to enter my giveaway below. More info HERE.
