Tutorial Tuesday: Stamping on Vinyl

Tue, Aug 31, 2010

Paper Crafts, Projects

We’re going to embellish a sketchbook today.  I usually buy mine in packs of 3 plain ones and embellish them depending on my mood or favorite color.  This weekend I finished filling up one sketchbook and needed to get another one ready to go.  My last one was embossed paper and velvet ribbon:

I went with something a little more fall feeling this time around.  I had a scrap of red vinyl in my scrap bag and stamped a pattern on that.  I really like how it turned out!

Want to make one?  It’s easy:

Use pinking shears to cut a 1″ strip of the vinyl.  This gives it a nice zig-zag edge.  Stamp directly onto the vinyl with a permanent ink.  I used the Memories Dye Ink pad in White with one of the border stamps from Build A Border.

Adhere the vinyl onto the notebook and trim the edges.  (I used the Crafty Power Tape from 3L Scrapbook Adhesives!  That stuff sticks to ANYTHING!!)  Add a little bling to your stamped image.

Put your sketchbook in your purse/clutch/bag and you’re ready to go!  These would make great little party favors or gifts too!
