Art, Arts, DIY, Handmade, Scrapbook

Bright funky colors, bold designs, groovy lettering—what’s not to love about retro? Everything old is new again—whether it’s the hip sophistication of the 1940s, the lounge-chic feel of the 50s, or the free and loose styles of the 60s and 70s. And making cards, party favors and scrapbook pages with that retro appeal has never been easier.

Share the retro fun with the groovy gals and guys in your life by creating these all-occasion cards. There’s something in this section for you, whether you’re looking for a quick card with a fabulous 50s look or a special occasion card for your favorite flower child. And don’t forget to say thanks (or ā€œThanks-A-Lavaā€) with a card. Just seal with a kiss and send it on its way.

    wooden flower pink, let dry and
    then add a bit of red paint to the
    edges for an aged look. Set the
    flower aside to dry.
  2. Trim a piece of coral cardstock to 10″ x 7″ (25cm x 18cm) and fold to make a 5″ x 7″ (13cm x 18cm) card. Cut scrapbook papers into strips of different widths and use glue stick to adhere them to the front of the card, in the following order (bottom to top): photo daisies, cherry blossom, brush strokes and flowers on white.

3. Print “Peace Love Flowers” on a
transparency in a red-orange ink
color. Trim to the width of the
flowers on white strip and secure
to the card with pink and orange
brads. Use a T-pin or needle tool
to create the holes first.

and, using orange embroidery
floss, sew the hot pink button in

    cardstock to 6″ x 12″ (15cm x
    30cm). Create a gatefold
    card by folding in the card at
    31⁄2″ (9cm) on either end of the
    cardstock. Trim a piece of
    both the orange cardstock and
    patterned paper to 57⁄8″ x 27⁄8″
    (15cm x 7cm). Dip the edges
    of both pieces into the
    watermelon chalk ink pad.

    orange piece to the front right
    flap and the patterned paper
    to the front left flap.

paper, punch several circles of
color, using the two circle
punches. Alternating 1⁄4″ (6mm)
circles and 1⁄2″ (1cm) circles,
glue the ā€œbubblesā€ in two rows
up either side of the lamp. You
may wish to dip the orangecolored circles into the ink pad
first, to provide more contrast
against the orange cardstock.

4. Print ā€œthanks aā€ and ā€œLava!ā€
onto watermelon cardstock,
in the Charade font. Trim
the pieces to fit the card,
and round the corners using
scissors or a corner rounder

    second piece of white
    cardstock to 51⁄2″ x 31⁄4″
    (14cm x 8cm). On the
    front of the folded card,
    stamp the Hawaiian print
    stamp in brown ink. Stamp
    along the folded edge and
    the opposite edge.
  2. In the center of the smaller piece of white cardstock, stamp a row of the four Tiki idol images, using brown ink. To create a mask to protect the images, stamp them again, in the same order and the same spacing, on a piece of scrap paper. Cut out the images with scissors, leaving the idols connected at the top, to make things easier.

3. Set the mask over the
previously stamped Tiki
idols on the white
cardstock. Ink up the palm
tree stamp with khaki ink
and stamp repeatedly over
the white cardstock to fill
in all of the white space.
Hold the mask with one
hand as you stamp.

4. Remove and discard the
mask. Using double-sided
tape, adhere the idol and
palm trees piece to the
center of the card. The
fold should be at the top
of the card.

ALUMINUM TREE card

  1. On a piece of aqua pearl
    cardstock, print ā€œHave a Cool
    Christmas!ā€ in the Fontdinerdotcom font. Trim the piece so that the text is at the bottom and the finished size is 31⁄2″ x 5″ (9cm x 13cm). Round the corners of the piece, using scissors or a corner rounder punch.
  2. Using glue stick, adhere the text piece to the textured turquoise cardstock. Trim, leaving 3⁄16″ (5mm) of the turquoise cardstock on all sides (finished size will be 37⁄8″ x 53⁄8″ [10cm x 14cm]). Trim the silver cardstock to 6″ x 81⁄2″ (15cm x 22cm) and fold to make a 6″ x 41⁄4″ (15cm x 11cm) card. Adhere the layered pieces to the front of the silver card, using craft glue.

3. To make the tree, cut silver pipe
cleaners into graduated lengths.
Twist the middle of each row of
branches around a piece that will
serve as the trunk. The trunk here is 4″ (10cm) long, and the horizontal branch rows are 3″, 21⁄2″, 21⁄4″, 13⁄4″ and 1″ (8cm, 6cm, 5.5cm, 4cm and 3cm).

4. Place a dab of craft glue onto the
ends of the branches and slide on
the beads. Glue the tree to the
front of the card, centered above
the text, using craft glue.

VALENTINE KITTY cards

  1. Trim a piece of red cardstock to 81⁄2″ x 71⁄2″ (22cm x 19cm) and fold to make a 81⁄2″ x 33⁄4″ (22cm x 10cm) card. Trim a piece of white cardstock to 31⁄4″ x 6″ (8cm x 15cm).
  2. Using magenta ink, stamp the heart once at the top left of the white cardstock. Stamp the heart again in peach ink at the center right of the cardstock, just overlapping the point of the magenta heart.
