Quick and Easy Crafts
with a Time-Honored Look -
Using Vintage Images.


Vintage images are the inspiration behind these crafts and scrapbooking projects.  From the romantic to the whimsical, Victorian and turn-of-the-century postcards can give your creativity a distinctive touch.  These classic illustrations and photographs are rich in color, artistic technique and symbolism.  This bygone art captures the essence of life's highlights - holidays, celebrations and sentiments - vividly.  

The projects teach you techniques for decoupage, collage, reverse-glass painting, embossing, antiquing, card-making and paper crafts.

VintageImageCraft is your online resource for ideas, inspiration and the finest-quality images.  Here, you'll find:
  • Free craft ideas and instructions for using art to make art. We went for fun and easy. Inexpensive to make, with materials and tools – and skills – that you probably have. Many are perfect for children or small crafting parties.
  • Free digital images for each craft project, easily downloadable in PDF format with a click of your mouse.
  • Tips and techniques. A full glossary of helpful information about crafting terms and FAQs about acquiring, manipulating and printing digital pictures. Check the craft tools reference and craft techniques for information about the basics you'll need to get crafting.
  • Artist reference. The stories behind the drawings may inspire you. Between 1890 and 1920, printers in America and Europe produced hundreds of thousands of postcards bearing photographs and illustrations, and their artistic creators established world-wide reputations.
