Congrats To The Grad & Found Vintage Goodies

I forgot to include this card in Tuesday's post, which was all about graduation cards.  This one uses the same line of designer patterned paper from Stampin' Up! (retired, of course; it's all I own) and a 3D butterfly sticker from K & Co. as the other cards, but I used a Verve sentiment this time.

I thought the kraft bottom looked a little bare, so I added a doily stamp from Inspired By Stamping with kraft ink.

The twine on this card is old, and it's from Ireland.  I'm going to assume maybe there's linen in it, since Ireland is known for that.   I'm going to enter this card at Make It Monday / The Kraft Outlet.  Their challenge is to include kraft cardstock as well as Felt, Twine or Burlap.

Check out the goodies I unearthed from the trash when a neighbor down the street moved into a retirement home:

It was a quiet thrill, finding these old sewing items.  I almost let out a 'whoop' on the street, but waited until I was back inside my own home before doing that happy dance.  ;-)
