Memories

Hello again,

As you all have probably heard, there will be a new Design Team announced, and this will be the last post from me as a Design Team member. I would like to wish the new team the best of luck, and thank Wayne and Terri for having me. It was truly a pleasure to be part of the team!

Now onto my card...When I saw this couple, called Armchair Lovers, I knew I had to have this stamp. I wanted to make something a bit vintage and romantic. I started out by stamping the couple on white cardstock, then stamping them again on a patterned paper. I die cut the white cs so the couple was centered in the circle, then cut the chair out of the patterned paper, and attached it over top of the white chair. I then coloured in the couple with Copic Markers. I used a die to cut the doily out, and punches for the flowers and hearts. Everything is quite heavily distressed to give it a more vintage effect. The sentiment is a rub-on.

Again, thank you so much for letting me share some of my work with you all. 

Thank you,

Kim Prince

Naughty is the new Nice

Hi Everyone,

It's Kim here with a tag I made tonight. I used a huge amount of Glimmer Mists and Distress Inks on a cuttlebugged piece of white cardstock to create the background.   Then I used 2 stamps from Viva Las Vegastamps! The woman image, Lady with Fan, as well as the sentiment, Naughty is the new nice. Both are stamped with Ancient Page coal black ink, then distressed. After this was done I sprayed some lace and ribbon flowers with more glimmer mists, then adhered to the tag. I decided to cut the sentiment apart so I could use a part of it on top and at the bottom of the tag.

If you love stamping, you will so enjoy the website at  Viva Las Vegastamps
You should check it out and see all there is!

Thank you for stopping by,

If it has tires...

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for stopping by today. It's Kim here again, with another Viva Las Vegastamps project. Today I have the pleasure of sharing a card I made for a friend. I used the Antique Car stamp as the focal point of this card. I stamped it with Ancient Page Chocolate Brown ink on a cream colored cardstock, then used Nestibilities to die cut the shape. I then die cut two Nestibilties Labels and cut them each in half and using Miracle Tape, attached the pieces to the back of the car piece. The sentiment just cracks me up, you can find it Here. I stamped it with the Ancient Page Chocolate Brown, then die cut with a Nestibilities Grommet Tag shape. All edges were distressed with Spun Sugar, and Tea Dye Distress Inks. 

Don't forget to stop on over at Viva Las Vegastamps, they literally have something for everyone! Wishing you a wonderful day,

Kim

Both of us can't look good...

Hi Everyone,

Kim here! I have a wall hanging to share with you today that I made for my studio door.  I wanted something girly that would also make my husband laugh. I started out with a piece of chipboard, painted the back of it, then used Miracle Tape to apply designer paper to the front of the chipboard. I then sanded the edges and distressed them with Tim Holtz Distress Inks. The Pretty Lady in Pearls was stamped with Rich Cocoa Brown Momento inks, then heat set for just a quick second. She is colored in with Copic Markers. The sentiment "Both of us can't look good at the same time...It's either me or the house", can be found here. the  To finish it all off, I used some Nestibilities to cut the layers for the Pretty Lady, mounted her on the chipboard and added some flowers. The sentiment is cut up and distressed and then mounted on the chipboard. I then added a couple pearl flourishes. 

If you haven't been by Viva Las Vegastamps lately, go have a look! There are so many treasures in there just waiting for a new home!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Last time, I promise!

I have been having so much fun with this face stamp called Facial Feature - SKU 5908. You can find the stamp  at Viva Las Vegastamps! I made an Inspirational quote book, and used the face on one of my pages. I used Miracle Tape to adhere the paper to the chipboard. If you haven't tried Miracle Tape, why not give it a go? You can also find it at Viva Las Vegastamps!

Here is the page using Facial Features

And here is another page I did using Marilyn. I will post a link to the stamp I used as soon as the site is back up again. Sorry about that.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, and I promise not to use this face stamp in my next post!!

American Express Called...

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for dropping by. I am so excited to show you a new card for Viva Las Vegastamps! I love this woman image, she looks so haughty, and the sentiment with her makes me giggle.

The lady is called Pretty Lady in Fancy Hat and she can be found here. The sentiment used is called American Express Called and can be found here. The image and sentiment were stamped on high gloss paper, then painted in with tombows using watercolour paintbrush and water. The card was assembled using Miracle Tape. There are so many widths of tapes to choose from and even sheets, and if you haven't tried it yet, you will NOT be disappointed!

Thank you again for stopping by, and I look forward to sharing again on June 15th,

Have a wonderful day,

Sure I shot the Sheriff...

Hi there,

Thank you for stopping by today. It's Kim here, with another project using the fabulous Viva Las Vegastamps! I decided to use the Sure I shot the Sheriff stamp, because I have a warped sense of humour! When I saw this stamp it just made me chuckle, and I knew I had to have it.

The image (Sure I shot the Sheriff - Image 15080)   is stamped on vanilla cardstock with chocolate Ancient Page ink, and then cut out with deckle edged scissors. I then lightly distressed the edges of the stamped image as well as the patterned paper behind it. All layers are put together with Miracle Tape, and lastly the stamped image is pop dotted up.

Please click on any of the links above to be taken directly to the product used, and while you are there, stay and browse awhile at all the FANTASTIC images at Viva Las Vegastamps!

Have a great day,

Kim
