Altenew | Vintage-Inspired Card with Parchment Scrolls and Roses

Hello friends!

Today, I’m excited to share a vintage-inspired card featuring the Parchment Scrolls Layering Die Set—a product that truly speaks to my love for all things old-world and elegant. The charm of parchment scrolls, with their timeless appeal, makes them a perfect focal point for a classic yet sophisticated design. Naturally, I couldn’t resist creating a card with strong vintage vibes using this stunning set.

CREATING THE SCROLLS

I began by die-cutting the elements for both a rolled and an open scroll using the layering dies from the Parchment Scrolls Layering Die Set.

To achieve a realistic, aged parchment effect, I used Crafty Necessities: Espresso, Mocha, Sand Dunes, and Vanilla Cream Cardstock.

For additional depth and interest, I inked up some of the die-cut layers with coordinating Fresh Dye Inks from the Coffee Break and Delectable Delights Sets, giving the parchment a rich, warm tone.

After inking, I assembled the parchment scrolls, adhering their layers with liquid glue. However, for a touch of dimension, I popped up the top layer of the open scroll using thin adhesive foam squares. This slight elevation gave it a more natural, curled-paper appearance, enhancing the realism of the design.

To further emphasize the aged look, I lightly splattered brown ink across the open scroll.

SENTIMENT AND FLORAL EMBELLISHMENTS

For the sentiment, I die-cut a phrase from the Scripted Sentiments Die Set out of Crafty Necessities: Jet Black Cardstock and adhered it at the center of the open scroll, making it the card’s focal point.

Once the roses were die-cut, I arranged them on the open scroll, allowing their soft hues to contrast with the warm parchment tones.

BACKGROUND AND FINAL ASSEMBLY

For the background, I used Crafty Necessities: Mountain Pine Cardstock, embossed with the Motif Tile 3D Embossing Folder.

FINISHING TOUCHES

As a final touch, I crafted a few matching embellishments by repurposing leftover melted Enchanted Gold Wax Beads from my spoon.

I love how this card turned out—it captures the timeless beauty of parchment and florals while embracing a rich, vintage aesthetic. I hope it inspires you to create something with old-world charm, too!
