DIY Faux Antique Cabinet Cards

Learn how to use antique photos (or age your own photos) and create your very own DIY Antique Cabinet Cards! Watch as Lisa transforms printed photos and advertising in to cabinet cards, that look like real Antiques. These are wonderful in genealogy projects, in junk journals and art journals, and are adorable when incorporated in to a wedding.

Glad you enjoyed it

[@JoansJunkJournalsAndMore]

Oh my goodness. I absolutely love these and wondered where I could get some from. I never thought of making my own as I'm still new to junk journaling. Thank you so much for this easy tutorial. Going to look for that digi now. Thank you so much ☺♥ Liked and subscribed ♥

[@thegraphicsfairy]

You are so welcome!

[@jneigler]

Very nice. Real looking.

[@Shane-us4ks]

🧚🏻‍♀️Thank you for this great tutorial! I love the vintage cabinet cards but they are hard to find in New Zealand. Now I can make my own!❤

[@thegraphicsfairy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rubyandpearlxo]

I love this!! I love how you used the modern photo too! It occurred to me when you showed the decorative edge with the gold.. it would be fun to just touch the edge with gold paint too. :)

[@EliaBachman-sm2gs]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome work!!❤️💯🎉

Very nice. Blessings and Hugs 🤗

This is so cool! I see you print one picture on a page. I print several on a page because I have a "per print" ink contract. HP Instant Ink for my HP printer. Uses less paper, too.

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

Why cardstock as the middle instead of printing one of the pictures on cardstock then glueing the copy paper one onto the backside of the picture? They turned out really nice! I just happen to have a birthday card to make for this week and will do this for it with a photo from Graphics Fairy . I'll be using my Silhouette machine instead of trusting my inconsistant X-acto knife skills!

[@MissGroves]

I scanned in a load of my own pictures ages ago. Never really knew what to do with them. Thanks

[@thegraphicsfairy]

Scanning them in is a big job! Let us know how they turn out :)

[@laurenbutler3452]

So sweet! Tfs this was a great tutorial!

[@thegraphicsfairy]

Thanks so much 😊

[@jolenethetoolwomantaylor5973]

This is probably a dumb question, but does this method have to use a laser printer? I watched back, but could not see if you said it. Thank you for this very cool tutorial!

[@phillip2446]

i looked for the back of the cabinet card but they changed the free download. do you still have the template for photogapher c mithcell to download?

[@karenschifman5169]

Could you please provide a link for the scissors you used or at least what brand and what they are called. Great video, so thanks.

[@thegraphicsfairy]

Hi Karen, thanks for asking...the scissors are Scotch brand Titanium. They're great, here's the link: www.scotchbrand.com/3M/en_US/scotch-brand/products/catalog/~/Scotch-Precision-Ultra-Edge-Titanium-Scissors/?N=4335+3294529207+3294603627&rt=rud

[@beverlytazangel]

Is there direct links to the graphics, please? I couldn't catch what bundle you said it was from on the video. Thank you.

[@thegraphicsfairy]

Thank you, we will add the links! In the meantime, the back of the cards are from the Mini Ephemera Pieces Bundle. The photos are from the Instant Ancestors 1 & 2 Bundles, including the little dog. Really appreciate you letting us know, have a great weekend!
