Retro Style Card – Will Trade Coffee For Gossip

June Cleaver is going to pop out of one of my kitchen cabinets some day, I'm sure of it. I live in a 1950's ranch with the original pink kitchen made by GE. Yup, the one you see at the start of the Tomorrow Land ride at Disney. That's fine with me though, because I love 1950's design.

I've collected Heywood Wakefield furniture and Russel Wright designs for 20 years. So when I saw the two woman drinking coffee (or tea) on Viva Las Vegastamps! plate 1364 I immediately thought of June Clever, pink, turquoise and retro wallpaper.

With those thoughts in mind, this was a quick card to create.

1. Round the corners and then use sepia ink to edge the turquoise, tan and background layers of the card.

2. Stamp the two woman drinking from plate 1364 on white paper and color with Copic markers. Fussy cut.


3. Stamp the sentiment "Will trade coffee for gossip." on turquoise and punch with a scalloped oval punch. Add three small pearls.

4. Layer the mats and backgrounds on an A2 card using Miracle Tape. Adhere the sentiment. Adhere the two woman with pop-dots for dimension.

There are so many sentiments that would go perfectly with the image of the two woman drinking. How about "Hi! We were just talking about you..." or "We start our day with coffee, but we end it with booze."

What sentiment comes to mind when you see this image? I encourage you to share your ideas in a comment. Who knows, maybe one day it will become a stamp!

Steampunk Divas

Hello, my name is Terri Sproul and I am so happy to talk to you about Rubber Plates that Viva Las Vegastamps! has to purchase.
Here is a Card I just made using stamps I got from one of the plates I purchased.

What is a plate you may ask?

Well this is a great bargain for us stampers. It's a wonderful selection of unmounted rubber images measuring approximately 7" x 9". The best part is the cost - Viva Las Vegastamps! makes and sells these plates for  just $21.95 (+ tax and shipping) and there are a lot of images on each plate. I purchased plate #1336 - which has over 25 stamp images on it... do the math! WOW! I also purchased the Bingo Card stamps - this is a large background stamp measuring 4 3/4" x 5 3/4"... fell in love the minute I saw it. I know you understand that!

Supplies: - each stamp will have a link to purchase...

Directions:
1) Stamp all images onto cream cardstock. I stamped the Bingo Card in both "Artprint Brown" ink and then in "ruby"... cut the ruby letters out and pop-dots to other Bingo card. Cut card out and aged edges with Brown Chalk ink.
2) Stamp both Ladies in India Ink Black onto cream cardstock and cut images out... colored in images with colored pencils (I personally like color pencils... the color is NOT so sharp). Added brown Chalk ink to edges to age image..
3) Stamp Steampunk Shoes with ArtPrint Brown inside and outline with fine black marker... cut out images.
4) Stamped "Steam", "Punk" and "Diva" onto cream cardstock with Ruby Ink - cut out images.
5) Adhere Bingo card to Card base with my Miracle Tape.. add all the other images and adhere with my Miracle Tape. Made a pop dot with my Miracle Tape and pop up "Fan Lady with Balloon".

This was a fun card to make. That Plate has so many different fun image to play with I just could not help myself. Hope you like. Remember to head over to the store and purchase that plate or at least a stamp or two.
