While the Cat’s Away – Final Day: Rose Cafe
Filed under Cat's Away... 2014, French Vintage/Belle Epoque, Giveaways, Kits, Newsletters, Sale
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.
Hey, it’s Day 7 of the While the Cat’s Away Giveaways! And today’s theme is Rose Cafe.
I really like this group. The scrapbook papers that started my process are so much prettier than I expected. And any chance to trot out a vintage French theme is fine by me. Plus (to go with the old letters and envelopes on a couple of the papers), I found a rubber stamp with French handwriting (not in the kit, but see below for a photo/link).
Starting with the big items in the kit:
Rose Cafe 12×12 Collection Pack
A big set that includes 18 double-sided 12″ x 12″ papers (2 each of 9 sheets) and a sheet of cardstock stickers, in a beautiful mix of French blue, tile designs and yellow roses.
French Floral Collage Rubber Stamp
An Alpha Stamps exclusive collaged stamp; just a bit larger than an ATC (so you can stamp a full bleed off the edges of your ATC).
TWO new sets of velvety mulberry paper flowers:
– Teastained Dahlias – Nightfall
– Petite Teastained Cream Pansies and Leaves
Paris Printed Book Covers
Beautiful, heavy chipboard covers with printing (that looks like a vintage leather book… the embossing is only printed but looks real). Punch holes for binding or use “as is” for an accordion-folded book.
See the Rose Cafe Kit page for a detailed list of all the items and more photos.
