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.

Distress ink and Melissa Francis dsp are my goto products when I'm doing shabby chic. Pastel and cream and ribbon, oh my. It's all so pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Love crocheted trim!
Your card is FAB!!!
your card is gorgeous. I really am drawn to the vintage look of it....way to go!
I just can't get enough pretty, vintage-style paper! Like fabric, it is easily addictive.
Love the glitter, lace and soft tones of your card.
Shabby vintage YES! Love it!
I would love having the problem of too many ideas...
I think you made an awesome card love the look :)
Gorgeous card! I love using dollies and glitter on vintage.
Such a lovely, sweet card.
That flower button with the pin just jumps out and grabs me.
I do love to see an old lacy look on a card, but I am not quite able to get that shabby vintage thing right on my cards.
I'm a sucker for anything w/a crown.
I love your card....all that glitter...yum!!! Some of my favorite cards are the shabby vintage look and my favorite vintage supply right now is the dyed seam bindings....in love with them!!!
I think I'd add pink to the cream and kraft pallet as another of my favorite shabby / vintage shades. It suggests wonderful flowers like peonies, roses, and hollyhocks. Neat card!
I have to admit Vintage/Shabby Chic scares me! But I love it when other people do it! :)
That card is absolutely stunning!
Now that is yummy in every possible way!
You've done a fabulous job with this beautiful card. TFS!
Wow - vintage isn't my style but what a lovely card!!!
I love that button!! I so appreciate how you pull all those elements together to create the shabby look. I get the vintage part but still struggle with the funky/shabby elements, so I love seeing your work!
Distress ink and stickles
Wow, what a great job. I have tried shabby chic/vintage a few times and I am not sure what they really should be called but they do not end up shabby chic. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I am working with beginners materials and not a lot of them at that. In other words, I am missing some vital materials.
Currently my favorite shabby/vintage supply is dyed and wrinkled seam binding! It's super fun and oh so shabby chic!
What a gorgeous card! I love all the glitter you used on it.
Beautiful! My favorite style.
I think it would be lace! Love it! But am rather a C&S kind of gal... Still, I find your card really beautiful!
Glitter, glitter, and more glitter!
I have to say my favorite supply is just the colors, so pretty and girly. :)
your card is beautiful!
my fave shabby product? can't seem to live without my stash of vintage buttons - the older & dirtier the better. :) and I really love the ones that still have bits of fabric and thread attached. after that it would have to be my old trims and ribbons.....
Stunning card Anabelle....I love your style!
Lovely card. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love this card. It is everything I try to do when I tackle shabby and vintage.
I think one of the only supplies I own that would work on a vintage card is glitter.
THIS is the style I WANT to be good at. I tend to make rather clean, graphic cards, I think. But I just LOVE this look.
Ooh, I love lace in shabby cards but have a hard time using it!
Your card is just lovely. I'm not cool enough to take on shabby chic/vintage papercrafts just yet, but I'd have to say that whenever I try to come close, my standby is cat's eye chalk ink to distress. :)
Ribbon is a great look for shabby cards.
DeniseB

My avorite shabby supply is soft ribbon. No, it's buttons, preferably with a shank. Wait, I've changed my mind, it's pins. You get the idea, I need layers of paper and goodies.
My favorite shabby supplies are distressing ink, lace and ephemera. I think the style is beautiful, but I don't make cards in that style very often!
