Simple Stories Flea Market Collection

Hi friends! Today I’m excited to share EIGHT cards made with the Simple Stories Flea Market Collection! Just as the name implies, it captures the excitement of a treasure hunt! If you’ve ever gone antiquing or to a flea market you know that there is nothing better than finding that special something that brings back memories of a different time and a different place.
You’ll love the retro prints and eclectic mix of patterns and colors. You’ll find vintage furniture (settee’s, armchairs, lamps), collectables (plates, china, books) and handmade items (paintings, macramé, textiles) to make your heart happy.
I had fun creating scenes with the vintage items. There’s lots of fun prints perfect for wallpaper and flooring. Reimagining the labels in the collection I created throw rugs and framed mirrors.
There are three different packs of bits and pieces in this collection so you have lots of images to work with. Add in the chipboard and 12” sticker sheet in the collection pack and you’ll have more than enough for lots of pretty cards or pages.
I used the decorative brads in the collection to look like pillows on furniture, a plate on the wall, and on one card a clock! I added flowers to empty vases and added hangings to walls.
I like to arrange the different images on sheets of clear plastic the size of my card bases. If you’re not sure where you want to put the stickers, just add some powder or corn starch to their backs to remove the tackiness from their backs so you can take your time with placement. When your ready to adhere just add a little liquid adhesive.
I like that the collection has different sentiments that are appropriate for every day and just staying in touch. I will never get tired or receiving a handmade card in the mail – it’s like a big hug from the recipient. I like to put them on display because they make me smile every time I look at them!
I used Simple Stories Color Vibe 12” cardstock sheets to add solids and to matt my designs. Simple Stories has a Color Vibe solid to match EVERY collection they have. For this collection I used Sunshine Peony and Robin’s Egg.
Celebrate the thrill of the hunt in finding the treasures that make your heart happy with Simple Stories Flea Market Collection!
