When I was first asked if I wanted to work on several shabby and vintage cards for the book, I was thrilled! Hello, creating shabby cards is my favorite thing to do. I spent some time looking through my favorite galleries and thinking about all of the elements I'd want to include in my card. The only challenge I faced, was narrowing it down. (Yeah, I had enough ideas to do a whole book!)
I love all things soft, worn, pastel-y ( I know, not a word), glittery, flowery and vintage. This is why I love the shabby style so much. And I love that it's such a hot trend in papercrafting right now.
So, the purpose of today's blog hop is twofold. You get more inspiration and you get the chance to win an awesome prize package.
First for the inspiration:
Kraft and cream are my favorite shabby/vintage colors. I added some Prima paper, a MME tag, Melissa Frances heart, and Jenni Bowlin die cut paper. I painted the MM frame and added glitter to it. The pin, button and trim are all vintage.
So, where can you get this awesome book? Right HERE.
And you know there has to be a prize package included in this blog hop.
Be sure to check out the Moxie Fab World Blog as well as the Paper Crafts Blog to see a peek of what you are trying to win!
Now, it's time for you to leave me. But don't be sad, because I'm sending you to one of my most favorite scrappy friends. I'm sure you'll love her card and her post will leave you smiling!
But, before you go, leave a comment for a chance to win. Let me know what your favorite 'shabby/vintage' supply is. And comment on the other 17 designers' blogs as well as PC and MFW blogs for a total of 20 chances! (All comments must be posted by Sunday, July 18. Winners will be announced on both the Moxie Fab World and Paper Crafts Connection blogs on Tuesday, July 20.)
Thanks for stopping by! Now head on over to THE NEXT MYSTERY BLOGGER!

I've always looked to you for Vintage/Shabby Chic cards, cos I can never pull it off! lol... Need to try much harder..
I struggle to make a shabby/vintage card, but I love the ribbons and lace I see on them.
I am a fun and cute girl so I just can't do shabby but you rock those cards girl!
I don't really have any favorite shabby/vintage supply, since I don't make shabby cards. However, I do use lace...
I love your card. I cant pull it off but love to use chipboard
Tim Holts distress inks, they will make anything shabby and aged in a flash
fI do not have a favorite vintage supply. :( I find it difficult to create in that genre, although I can truly appreciate the style. I love your card!

It's seeing a card like this that just confirms to me how much I love the vintage and shabby look. It's totally brilliant!
lOVE IT!! Great job with the shabby style. XOXO
Wow! Your card is breathtakingly gorgeous!! Love your style!
My favorite shabby supply right now is using hand dyed seam binding.
I recently found a HUGE bag of vintage laces and hand crocheted doilies at an estate sale. The doilies are not in great shape, so I don't mind cutting them up to give them a new life!
How simply beautiful. Glitter, seam binding, lace, I love it all when it comes to vintage style.
beautiful card, I see your work all the time and its always breathtaking
Oh definitely glitter! Love your cards always!!
Lace all the way! SU! just came out with some beautiful lace ribbon. Thanks!

I am not very good at making shabby vintage cards but when I do I use lace.
glitter and lace by far are my fav. yours is like a work of art!
probably using distress inks
Great card! I love the colors and details. Such a delicate look.
Thanks for all of the vintage-y inspiration.
I just love the crown on your card.
I, too, love the shabby chic and you have totally captured the style!

I LOVE the look of german glass glitter on vintage cards! So pretty!
Hat pins and lace are my faves!

I'm not sure I've technically made a shabby/vintage card, but I think I would probably say some sort of ink to soften edges :)

Gorgeous card!
I just love it!
very cool!
Sandra
Beautiful card. Love all the layers.
Fabulously stunning card! I love the Vintage style...wish I could master the art of it. Love the ribbon, lace and pins!
Too hard to narrow it down to one, a great shabby card has a little of this and some of that!! Lace, ribbons, distress, glitter, baubles, on and on......:)
I would have to say that ribbon and crochet lace make a card look vintage/shabby chic. Love your card.
WOW!! you do shabby & vintage very well! I love the gold crown with the glittery goodness.
While I love looking at the vintage cards I have yet to make one. You've inspired me though-thank you.
This is beautiful!! I love all the glitter, and that crown accent is fabulous!
♥Lea
I don't make shabby chic well at all but love looking at that type of project. Your card is stunning!
Yipee! I found another blog I love. I absolutely love the shabby/vintage style. Love these blog hops!
Such a pretty card!!
This is wonderful!! Love it :)
Anabelle, this is breathtaking. I so love the glimmer and the pins
I love looking at shabby chic style, but somehow not good at making them, though. TFS. :)
My favourite vintage supply is ribbon. Love your cards!
Welll your card doesn't look too shabby to me (hee, hee). I like vintage better though. My favourite vintage 'tool' is the medallion stamp by SU.
Lovely card, all the soft colors and glitter are fantastic!
My favorite shabby chic supply is buttons!
Shabby/vintage isnt really my style, but your card is beautiful! Not sure where I would go to for supplies, probably rely on distressing inks.
What a beautiful card for the vintage theme! Love the colors.
Love your cards!
Beautiful card, great deatails! I love using dollies!
I don't have a favorite shabby chic/vintage supply because it's a style I have lots of trouble creating in my cards and scapbook pages. I love your elegant version of it and I envy you for your ability to achieve it. Maybe one of these days I'll "get" it. lol Just for the record, I'm working on doing collage, too.
Chic/Vintage is just a style i haven't delved into; it's so intimidating!
I just love your card. It is so beautiful and shabby/vintage for sure. Thank you for sharing this wonderful card with us. Have a great weekend.
I love your shabby chic style. Great Job!
Beautiful! Love the rose!
Oh my heart....just gorgeous! I love the craft and cream together.
Your style is lovely! I'd love the opportunity to win some goodies! Thanks for sharing!
I love the mix of textures and shapes, and the overall fun quality that the tension between elegant and shabby creates. Takes real skill to put all these elements together. Bravo!
Wonderful card! I love to destress my papers.
My style isn't really shabby chic so I don't really have an opinion regarding it just yet.
Love your shabby style - I'm hopeless at it myself!
I'm not much of a shabby chic card marker myself, but I do love the little stick pins
I love Melissa Frances's vintage products the most! And gorgeous card, btw!
What a beautiful card.
I always visit your blog to admire your shabby chic/vintage style! I am in awe, especially since it is soooo not my style. I love your work!
What a gorgeous card. I just haven't been able to put together something that detailed, but it certainly is inspiring!
Beautiful! I cannot get this style down, but you have it mastered...lovely card!
WOW, vintage, sparkly...Gorgeous!
oooh, love the cream and kraft, very lovely
My favorite would have to be all of the lace.
Lace trim would probably be my favorite shabby/vintage item. Followed closely by stuff like bingo cards, office supplies, etc. Thanks for the chance to win. Alicia E
love the feminine vintagey look!

My favorite vintage element is buttons or distressed look book plates. Tim Holtz is a great enabler. Ha! My style is classic with an unexpected element added to my cards, taylored to the who is getting the card.
This is SOOO stunning! You are such an inspiration with your fabby shabby chic style! I love it so much!
OH MY! that card is simply delicious!
Wow! I have been to your blog before, but I seem to lose some of the ones I like to keep track of. This is gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing your talent!

I'm not a shabby/vintage card maker, but I love the look of old lace on those types of cards.
Love this!! I enjoy using distress embossing powder to give a vintage-y look.

I would have to say lace. But my distress inks are a given too. I know, that's more than one...but it's So hard to pick just one! THANKS, love your cards and your style! It's my fave!
Beautiful Card!
I have a hard time with shabby vintage but I love my Aged Mahogany Distressing ink. Great card.
This such a beautiful card!!
My favorite shabby supplies are hat pins & frilly ribbons :)
Wow, what a lovely card. Love the layers, love the colors, love the glitter!
I lvoe to see the shabby vintage style and I love to try all styles. This is probably the one I do the least though. When I do try shabby vintage I love to use old sewing items my grandmother handed down to me.
I love to use bits of lace, trim and ribbon when in the shappy chic mode.Inking and distressing are important too.Your card was outstanding. Thanks
Stunning card.
Gorgeous card! My fave "shabby" supply is vintage lace. I love the look of it and try not to hoard it!
I love the lace embellishments!
I love your beautiful card and I love the shabby chic/vintage look with all the beautiful layers of lace, glitter, ribbon and the soft colors. But for some reason I really haven't tried it. Guess I should pull out my lace and ribbon and try to create a vintage card.
Shabby Chic is outside my comfort zone, though I think it is beautiful, just like your card. I think I love the ribbons best...they are just so pretty!
I love lots of stuff:) ...seem ti be drawn to the ribbon roses lately
Beautiful card! That vintage flower button is gorgeous!
I like using prima and graphic 45 when I am doing something vintage/shabby.
simply gorgeous....love the glitter
Absolutely gorgeous! I love every detail! I love the look of shabby/ vintage, even though my style is anything but! I love all the fabulous lace I'm seeing these days! It really adds so much to a card!
This is so gorgeous! Love all the cream. My favorite shabby/vintage supply is Papertrey Ink's Tea Dye Duo ink.
Such a pretty card! My favorite shabby chic/vintage supply would have to be ribbon. Got to have lots of ribbon!
I love my vintage ribbon/lace I found at my local antique mall - LOVE IT!
I love the look of old book paper to give something a vintage style...
I LOVE your card. I'm really not good at this style although I have access to infinite amounts of vintage-y supplies at my local thrift store so I'd really love to try more often....thanks for the inspiration!
Shabby's not necessarily my style 'cause I just can't seem to go there, but your cards are just lovely!
Wow you sure do know how to vintage it up! Love the card!
The thing I use the most is distress ink. I really like the worn edges, too.
I adore your work, Anabelle, and have followed your blog for quite a while now. You inspire me. My favorite shappy chic/vintage element would have to be delicate lace, the kind that looks crocheted. Love that stuff! Thanks for sharing!
My favorite shabby/vintage supply is probably distress ink. Love your cards.
I'm not so great at shabby either - but seeing your awesome creations (all the way back to Self-Addressed) really inspires me to try it on occasion.
My fave shabby chic tool is my Tim Holtz distressing tool.
I have to go with ribbon, lace and Antique Linen Distress ink. Your card is beautiful!!
I love 7 Gypsies product for a good vintage look.
I just started to dabble in shabby/vintage myself. I LOVE the wrinkled/crinkled ribbon (bias tape) so much!!!
Beautiful! I love the button and the pin together.
I LOVE hand made pins and glitter, and doilies, and well... all of it! Your a master at shabby!
Beautiful card...my favorite shabby/vintage item would be lace.
And this would officially be my favorite Anabelle card ever.
*EVER*
Wow, this card would make anybody feel like royalty! I think my favorite shabby/vintage product is either crocheted lace or soft pastel papers.

Beautiful card...Wow! I can't make a shabby chic card without ribbon or glitter!
Love! the card. My can't live without product is (are) distress inks by Tim Holtz. I usually use Vintage Photo or Old Paper. Of course vintage lace is one of my faves.

LOVE your card....I'm more of the fun and cute style but would like to try shabby and vintage
I love your card. I also like light colored cards. I am not great at shabby-chic but I try anyway. I am trying to use up lace that I acquired during my sewing days. Some of it is very vintage.

I love distress inks and kraft cardstock. I gravitate towards broken china and tumbled glass distress inks. I really love your card. My style is not shabby and vintage - but I admire the style so much
Can't do justice with the Shabby Chic style, but love to look at those who can!
Love it! Gorgeousness!
Love Vintage! The detail in your work is wonderful!
I'm always drawn to shabby chic, but have yet to try it myself. I just love how your card looks so soft with just the right touch of sparkle! Leslie
love the monochrome in this beautiful card! thanks!
absolutely beautiful!!!
Wow, amazing to see other folks' styles...
Love your stuff!!! Pretty card. I get alot of inspiration from you. I Love Tim Holtz inks they make everything look vintagey cool.
Your shabby/vintage style is beautiful. Love the look but don't do much of it myself.
Love your Shabby & Vintage style card! I too tend to gravitate towards that style and the one item I turn to each and every time is my Tim Holtz Distress Inks.
I love all the different textures on this card - beautiful
I love the card. My favorite supply would be lace ribbon.
I love the card and the colors!
Kisses
I love your shabby chic style, and I agree that you MUST have kraft or cream paper as a base to anything shabby! :)
~Rachel in Sacramento
Love your card! Love the lace,the colors, just beautiful!
I have a hard time with vintage - this is gorgeous! Love all the sparkle!
Oh! Love this!! Very nice!
I don't really have a favorite shabby vintage supply because that is the hardest thing for me to do. I can't make cards or layouts with that style even though I love it. I know someone who would fall in love with your card right away and probably frame it. :)
Gorgeous project
Great card! I love all of the bling & the lace.
well, I love it all but I am in love love love with lace...every style and color..I use it on everything!
Your card has a vintage romantic look. My favorite vintage items are the vintage graphics, tho I definitely love little metal parts.
My favorite Shabby/Chic supply is vintage looking lace trim.

Just beautiful!,, your work is amazing! Thank you for sharing it all.
My favorite supplies are my Tim Holtz visual artistry stampsets :)
I love the vintage look! TFS - I'm going to scrap-lift this one! :)
so pretty and dreamlike!
Lace is my "go to" shabby supply addition. Fabulous card creation!
Absolutely Gorgeous. Not a style I am able to do but I admire those who can.
Wow this is beautiful! I love Jenni Bowlin!
Wow - I love this! All the layers and texture are gorgeous!
Wow! Absolutely stunning!
My favorite shabby vintage supply is probably my Distress Ink pads and ink applicator. Putting an inky edge always makes everything soft and shabby. I also love to use real lace on my cards!
