New Vintage-inspired papercrafting products

Just wanted to share a few of the fun art supplies I've picked up recently:
Making Memories just came out with a darling line of papercrafting embellishments called Vintage Findings. It's available at Michael's (so you can use those handy 40% off coupons!) and the line is made up of reproductions of some of the vintage art supplies that we know and love. I picked up these repro velvet flowers and leaves--they look just as good as the real thing to me! These little brown-bordered labels look just like the red and white Dennison labels that I ADORE but are very hard for me to find outside of paying through the nose on eBay. I love the red and white but I also like having another color option in these little guys.

The other item in this photo is a bottle of Tim Holtz Distress Stickles in Antique Linen. Stickles are one of my top 5 papercrafting must-have products! I love the look of German glass glitter but let's face it--it's a mess! Stickles are little bottles of glitter glue that have a tiny nozzle so it's possible to get a very fine application, and it's VERY sparkly and comes in a rainbow of colors. The new line of Distress Stickles are made in more muted colors and they're not quite as sparkly. I love this Antique Linen color--it's hard to tell from the photo, but it dries a pale gold that is very vintage looking and so pretty!At Archiver's I found this fun sheet of Perforated Tickets by SEI. The tickets are all different colors and sizes and look just like antique ephemera, plus they're cheap! Only $1.99 for a 12x12 sheet of tickets--I could never find real ephemera for the same price. The other item is a box of K & Co. chipboard letters from the Life's Journey line. These chipboard letters look like they were punched out of old ledger sheets with spidery handwriting. They're even double-sided--not strictly necessary for letters that can only face one way, but a nice finishing touch if you use them in a project where the backs might show.

Now to play with my new goodies!
