Vintage style Loaded envelope

I made the Loaded envelope myself by following a tutorial on you tube. The base of the envelope is made using Kraft card. The pretty rose paper that I used for the background is from a digital patterned paper set that I purchased on Etsy. I printed out the rose patterned paper image and covered the Loaded envelope front, back and inside I also made a pocket for the bottom front part of the envelope. I cut a slit down the centre on the front at the top and rolled each edge out so it gave a pretty look then I decorated the envelope using lace and pearl embellishments. For the top section I used pink and cream flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. The large flower at the bottom is metal and I layered that and used a pale pink fabric flower and an embellishment in the centre. The tags are also made out of Kraft card and again the images are digital purchased from Etsy. For the front of the tag I made a ribbon bow and I also added an embellishment to the centre of that. I hand made the paper rosettes and added a digital image to one front and back and then for the other rosette I used a fabric flower and and embellishment to decorate the front and back. I mounted each rosette onto a paper straw and slotted those into the top of the Loaded envelope together with the tags

Vintage style tag

I used a large mdf tag and padded the front of it. To match the Loaded envelope I printed out two different designs from the digital paper pack that I had purchased on Etsy onto printable canvas and then I adhered the canvas over the padding and adhered it to the tag. The pocket is also made out of the printable canvas and I used a piece of felt on the inside back of it to strengthen as I had made the tag to use the top part as a pin cushion I wanted the pocket to hold scissors and other sewing accessories. I added pretty lace to the top of the pocket and also the bottom of the tag and added a fabric flower on top of the pocket and a pretty embellishment and also at to the top of the tag. I used two strips of pearl string to go around the tag and to the sides to give the tag that finished look

I also included a smaller pretty tag with a lady image on the front to make a set that all matches

A Shabby Chic style Fabric and Lace mitten

I found a free template on the internet and printed it out. Then cutting around the shape of the template I cut out two pieces of cream felt. As I am not a sewer I glued the two pieces of the mitten shape together around the edges using fabric glue leaving the top part open so the mitten can be used as a pocket. Using a wide white lace I laid that over the front and the back of the mitten and glued it down using fabric glue. To edge the mitten I used two different widths of cream lace and pearl trim around the edges on the front and the back of the mitten. The image I purchased from Etsy and printed that out onto printable inkjet canvas.

I cut out the image and glued that down to the mitten then I used a crocheted frame and some pearl trim to decorate around the image. I cut a plastic snowflake in half and slotted those in either side of the frame to add decoration tucking each piece underneath the crochet frame. Around the top part of the cuff I used gathered net lace and edged that using lace and braid in colours to match the mitten. I added a handmade flower to the top right using gathered lace and sections of eyelash wool then added two separate gold coloured appliques and tucked those in either side of the hand made flower, I also added an embellishment to the centre. For the smaller flower next to the image I used two fabric flowers one white and one in gold and added an embellishment to the centre. Finally I added a cream tassel and sections of eyelash wool and attached the tassel to the top section of the mitento finish off the whole look
