Creating a Vintage Mixed Media Charm

Hello friends!

Today I’m sharing a step-by-step tutorial for a vintage-inspired mixed media card using some amazing AALL & Create supplies. If you’re a fan of creating layered, nostalgic designs, this project is for you. Let’s dive in!

Steps to Create the Card:

  1. Background Preparation – I  started with a gel press print featuring a book page. The page added both texture and a timeless feel to my card.
  2. Stamp the Inking Gears – I used the AALL & Create Inking Gears stamp and Versafine Clair Twilight ink to create subtle industrial details. The deep blue ink provides a rich contrast while maintaining a vintage aesthetic.
  1. Add Clipped Mailers Ephemera – I added the AALL & Create Clipped Mailers onto the background to evoke a sense of nostalgia. These elements contribute to the layered and storied look of the card.
  2. Highlight with Petalled Wings – I stamped the AALL & Create Petalled Wings design and painted the butterfly in colors that match the Clipped Mailers. This coordination ties the elements together beautifully, ensuring a cohesive design. 
  1. Final Touches – I completed my card by adding the AALL & Create Cobalt Swallowtail washi tape for an additional layer of detail. I then finished with a sentiment from the Funny Bones Funnies Ephemera collection to add a playful yet meaningful touch.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope this tutorial inspires you to experiment with your supplies to create a charming vintage vibe in your next project. If you give this a try, I’d love to see your creations. Feel free to share them and tag me on social media.
