Vintage Notecards

Here's another set of vintage notecards. They are flat, with a postcard-like back.  The little images are sweet.  Feel free to use for your own project.  Simply click on the image, then right click to save to your own files.   Perfect to use for your own notecards, collages, scrapbooking or other paper project.

Christmas Elves

To get you in the holiday mood, the jolly little elves wish you Merry Xmas!

This card would be delightful on your own homemade cards, as a scrapbook embellishment or in a seasonal collage.

The postmark is Fonda NY, Dec 22, 1911.

Tango Club

Another crazy German card.  Just like the one I posted earlier, all the people are on ice skates.  These six, all women, are in costumes.  Probably originally black and white photograph with hand colored touches with a vibrant pop.

This one would make a great party invitation or be fun in a funky collage.

Uses for Postcards

 You may be wondering what I do with all these postcards.  My goal for all my postcards is to share them with others.  I have so many images which I may not use, but someone else may find them interesting.

You may be wondering what you can do with all these images.  You should be able to click on the image and see it in a larger format.  If you like it, print it or save it for your own personal use. What to do with them?  Here are some ideas:

• scrap booking
• homemade greeting cards
• make a mini book
• use in collage
• school projects
• print and frame
• frame in a series
• crop and use an image in your own art
• print and send as a card
• use as place cards or name tags
• make holiday ornaments with the images
• use in decoupage
