Humor on Canvas by Pinky!

Hey there to all the amazing VLVS fans!

Pinky here today with a canvas project (I know right? She's artsy too??!)

Using the ever amazing Viva Las VegaStamps to add some humor to your day!

Of course I started with Plate 1404 because it was perfect to give

my giggles every day! People are always telling me to lighten up, so

I thought if I made a canvas to hang in my room I would remember

that life is not always serious....and I think it's hard for mom's to remember

that with the every day business. 

I made this canvas colorful and filled with sarcasm. 

It has a very feminine touch with the butterflies and crystals. 

Plate 1404 is amazing- Grab it just for fun, believe me you will use it!

Here is how to create your own canvas:

1. Spritz canvas generously in 3 colors.
2. Blot/smear Smooch and blend. 
3. Dictionary paper- spritz same colors onto paper. 
4. Adhere Dictionary paper 
5. Spritz Kraft paper and allow to dry.
6. Stamp VLVS Sentiments from Plate 1404
7. Ink wooden letters (from Pink Paislee).
8. Spritz canvas butterflies and doily- adhere. 
9. Adhere embellishments as shown on canvas photo. 
10. Fine Point Copic- apply hand drawn lines. 
11. Seal Canvas
12. Remind yourself to laugh daily! 

Will you remember to laugh today? I hope so.

Just have fun with it, get creative, be artsy, and be sarcastic...makes you feel happy

ok maybe it only makes me happy- but it's still worth it. 

Until next time- keep on giggling- keep on creating, have some fun.

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!

When I saw this Daily Routine Stamp on Plate 1404 

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!

Wear SASSY As A Badge Of Honor!

Hey there Viva Las VegaStamps friends,

Guess who? Oh yea it's me Pinky! You know the sassy one.

I have a fun project today. 

You know since I hit my late 30's and begun the slide into 40

my sass has come out loud and proud!! I mean you only live once so why not. 

Have you seen this saucy little number? Plate number 1404?

Not gonna lie- pretty much the best plate evah!

I was looking at all these fabby quotes and decided why not make myself

a badge of sassiness to wear when I am feeling extra snarky.

Here's how I create my "Badge Of Sass"

Stamp Viva Las VegaStamps image onto heavy duty cardstock. 

I used 2 colors of brown and gold. 

Spritz image with a sealer such as Preserve Your Memories Spray. 

Coat entire stamps piece in Glossy Accents. (You could use Utee or Crackle is you wanted).

Set aside to dry for 4-24 hours. Paper will warp.

 Take a strong piece of thick acrylic (I used Clear Scraps) trim to size of badge. 

Trime dark background cardstock to same size. 

Using Miracle Tape to adhere stamped image to dark cardstock. 

Adhere to front of acrylic sheet to smooth out any warping that occurs from the 

Glossy Accents or sealing layer. 

Tarnish using alcohol inks OR StazOn inks. 

 Adhere piece to PIN backing. 

 Wear with pride! After all if you do not have your sense of humor what do you have?

Have fun with it. I think I will make a badge for every one of my friends.

We can has "Badge Of Sass" day!

Until next time- Keep on CREATING my friends!
