Social Media & Humor For Teens

 Hey there VLVS friends, 
Pinky here today with another fun project using the amazing Viva Las VegaStamps!

I have your typical teen in my house, and he is always
trying to sneak his phone to the table and other places that are off limits. 
Being the incredibly cool mom I am (not even a little) I decided to "nudge" 
him with a little humor and of course my first thought was VLVS!
This stamp plate was PERFECT!
I just added magnetic strips to the back of this and stuck it right on the
fridge and move it to my napkin holder at dinner...subtle hints right?
Yep...I am kicking butt! 
  1. Trim patterned paper to desired size (I used 5X5).
  2. Layer papers using Miracle Tape. 
  3. Take October Afternoon label sticker. Sticker to spare piece of paper. 
  4. Stamp Aghast Lady VLVS onto sticker- overlapping edge. 
  5. Using white cardstock- stamp VLVS- I Was In My Kitchen image onto cardstock. 
  6. Trim out sentiment. 
  7. Layer all alphas and images onto paper as shown using Miracle Tape and foam pop dots. 
  8. Adhere Magnetic strips to back.
  9. Sit back and admire you amazing parenting skills!
That's it for me today! Until next time- keep on creating and remember
to have fun with it, you only have one life...enjoy it!

Don't Forget Baseball Season-Pick Me Ups!

Hey there VLVS friends, 
It's Pinky today sharing a fun card project with you. 

You know baseball season is rampant in the Hobbs home and I 
think it's so important to let my boys know that even in mid sports season
win or lose they are completely awesome!

I knew it would give my boy a giggle and a lift for the day. 
See? Not all my snarky stamping is for evil! haha
 I used some very sporty Kraft papers to create this sports themed
card and I just know my little man is going to love that mom made him a card too!
  1. Trim out 9X6 Cardstock.
  2. Use bone folder to fold card in half at 4.5".
  3. Trim out dark blue cardstock base ay 4.5X6".
  4. Trim out patterned paper to 4"X5.5". 
  5. Adhere card front to each other using Miracle Tape. 
  6. Pop out Jillibean Soup Game Day Chili die-cut.
  7. Use Clearsnap Ink to stamp Viva Las VegaStamps My Daily Routine Stamp onto die cut.
  8. Trim out pennant shape.
  9. Adhere to card using pop dots. 
  10. Adhere extra die cuts. 
  11. Add stickers from paper pack. 
Give with a cookie and a smile! Watch your child's face light up.
Until next time, I hope you enjoyed this spirit lifting card!
