Stamping With VLVS On Glassine by Pinky

Hey there VLVS fans!

Pinky here today with a fun project tutorial- 

A how to make this acrylic card and stamp on Glassine paper by Tim Holtz. 

I used the amazing Plate 1350 and several images to create this vintage style card

of encouragement and love. I stamped right on the Glassine paper and love it!

 Using Plate 1350 and Colorbox Mixed Media ink- stamp images onto

Glassine paper. Drying with heat gun in between each image. 

I found that a blow dryer did not work you will need a heat 

gun for this ink/paper combo but it dries beautifully. 

 After all images have dried- crinkle paper thoroughly and smooth out after. 

 Stamp an extra Violet Nosegay Flower Plate 1350: Item 17819 onto Glassine

dry, then cut out. Crinkle just like before. 

 Adhere stamped paper to base of card.

Take single flower and pop up over stamped image using foam pop dots. 

 Add embellishments pearls and gemstone.

Using Acrylic Expression- coat wit Alcohol Ink and light dusting of glitter. 

 Adhere vintage lace to front flap wrapping around flap. 

Add Gemstones. 

 Adhere Courage Expression to from flap on outside. 

 Assemble card as per instructions being careful not to touch clear stickers. 

Take Glassine paper scrap and insert "Sending You" alphabet sticker. 

Place into Momenta Metal Frame. 

Adhere to front of card.

 As you can see because the card is clear I adhered gemstones to both sides

of the scallop and you can clearly see the lifted flower for dimension.

Vintage style, beautiful and full of heart- ready for the recipient. 

Until next time- Keep on creating!

Get Well Soon With A Sense Of Humor!!

Good morning VLVS friends, 

Pinky here today with a quirky sense of humor "Get Well Soon" card. 

When I saw these stamps I knew I HAD to use them but I wasn't sure

how I was going to incorporate them into a card, I asked friends and the

consensus was that it HAD to be done (of course) and maybe a Get Well card. 

1. Trim out 4.5X6 black cardstock.
2. Trim out 4X5.5 kraft cardstock.
3. Trim out 9X6 sturdy cardstock for card base. (I used plain white 80 weight).
4. Using black ink- stamp King Henry VIII  image onto kraft cardstock.
5. Layer trimmed pieces as shown on card using 1/2" Miracle Tape & Miracle Tape Dispenser.
6. Trim out 3" pieces of ribbon.
7. Using 1/2" Miracle Tape lay tape onto back of ribbon- adhere to card.
8. Using scraps of kraft cardstock & dark purple ink- stamp sentiment Ask Me About 1X1 1/2". Trim out. 
9. Matte sentiment in black cardstock. 
10. Using foam pop dots, pop sentiment up over ribbon. 
11. Add "Go Ahead" using sticker alphabet. 

The Miracle Tape works great on the ribbon and cardstock!

In my opinion it's a must have. 

And this card is a must have for any friend with a quirky sense of humor!!

I really love the VLVS outrageous, 

modern stamps that leave the perfect impression!

I hope you try your own card today, until next time-

Birthday SASS!

Hi there VLVS friends!!

Pinky here for my first official 

Viva Las Vegastamps post and I am so very excited!

I went for a card this time just to get my toes wet and

to check out the incredible stamps I found- 

can I just say I LOVE THEM?

I really do! Brash, Sassy, and FUN!

Since it is my birthday this month I decided to create a

 birthday card that  says exactly how I feel this year....

and the Older I Get 1X2 stamp was perfect. 

Because I wanted a more faded vintage style for this card I pressed

black ink onto the stamps, then I spotted grey ink over it. 

It leaves a more vintage ad style impression. 

Instructions:

1. Trim out 9X6 card stock for base. 
2. Use bone folder to crease middle (fold for card base).
3. Trim 4.5X6 patterned paper for card front. 
4. Trim out 4X5.5 to layer. 
5. Layer card front using Miracle Tape 1/2". 
6. Using die cut or die cut machine- trim out 2X3" scalloped oval and slightly smaller straight edge oval (Cream card stock).
7. Using VLVS Housewife in Kitchen 1 3/4X3 stamp pat stamp using black in, then layer on gray ink. Stamp image onto 2X3 straight edge circle. Repeat using VLVS Older I Get 1X2 Stamp onto scrap Cream card stock. 
8. Trim out VLVS Older I Get 1X2 Stamp image -1.5X3.
9. Layer stamped images and embellishments as shown in photo. 

And this I will proudly display all month long!

Until the next project, I hope you check out the fun and sassy products
