Art Journaling + New Stamps!

Hi Folks! :) Today I'd like to share with you two things...

1) A bunch of new stamps I designed for Viva Las VegaStamps!

and

2) the outcome of one of our Art Journaling Classes!

Every 1st Sunday and 3rd Sunday of the month I teach a class down at The Crafting Place on Russell (By the airport for you local peeps!) all about art journaling. We go over supplies, techniques, tips n tricks. Each class is different, and each is fun! You bring yourself, $10, an apron, a journal and a non stick craft mat. I bring everything else.

{From our most recent #artjournalingclass}

Now let's move right into new stamps...

This is Plate 1455. 

FULL of Art Journaling background bits.. patterned pieces, grunge pieces, textural elements and more! YUM. It has a Double Coffee Ring, Stitching, Tape X, Paper Clip, Mesh Texture, Texture Background, Writing Circles, Smear/Smudge, Bubble Wrap Texture, Measuring Tape Section, Six Staples, Staple X, Three Staples, and Writing Triangles. And those are all just on this one plate!

I've also done a few new stamps on other plates... 

Grunge Circles | Sheet Music Background | Your Time as a Caterpillar
Seahorse | Wonderland | Wilderness | Seedling | Deliver To | Checklist Cube

SO much goodness! I can't NOT use it all. I swear I've stamped every new stamp at least once. and most of them a hundred times!

Today on the VLVS! Blog I'm sharing an Art Journal Spread of one of our December #Artjournalingclass (es) that was all about cohesive background stamping and faux metal bits. Stop by there to see more details about the stamping.

The faux metal bits came from UmWowStudio's chipboard Layered Squares covered in metal tape and distressed! Other supplies include Prima Marketing / Finnabair's Black Gesso, Archival Ink by Ranger, Tim Holtz's Mini Attacher, pens, adhesive, and drywall tape. :)

I'll be back to post more about #artjournalingclass soon! ♥
