A Year of Vintage Postcards ~ August

Hello creative friends,

I’ve already had a few emails this week, asking when the next instalment of the A Year of Vintage Postcards will be coming out.

So, to please the many crafters collecting them, I’m getting them out early for August.

If you are new here or haven’t joined in on this year long project yet, you can visit the January post to find out all of the details.

 

 

For August I decided on two beautiful French fairy postcards that were first published in 1901.
Although I don’t know who the artist was, both postcards were painted by the same artist and are part of a 4 piece set.

I also love that the back of the postcard is also in French.

 

 

The August Vintage Postcards

If you are new to this year long project, we are creating a collection of vintage postcards.
Every month I will be providing two vintage postcard printables to add to your collection.

Each postcard measures 9 cm x 14 cm (3.5” x 5.5”) and has both a front and back image.

 

 

To construct the postcards:
1. Print the August PDF – 2 pages (see below).
2. Cut the postcards out as one complete card (front and back) and score down the centre where the front and back of the postcards meet.
3. Fold in half along the score line and use glue to adhere the front and back of the postcard together.
4. If desired, ink the edges for a vintage look and I also added a dusting of opal dust glitter over the wings and scarves of the fairies.
