My daughter had a pair of plain white slip-on tennis shoes that she decided were too plain... So we came up this this idea to dress them up.
We used the new Scrappy Moms Stamps Chevron/Rick Rack Die to cut Chevron strips out of vinyl. Then we placed them on the shoes for the "negative" or white space. Here is a photo of one completed shoe and the second on the vinyl and painters tape around the rubber bottom and white piping accents...
After the fabric paint dried slightly we removed the vinyl and painters tape (I have read that if you wait until fabric paint is completely dry it is difficult to remove cleanly).
Here is the final product on some happy toes!
Here is the Chevron/Rick Rack Die and the brand new stamp set we are releasing this month - Lean on Me!
Please come back and visit with me later this week, as I will have more projects using these new Scrappy Moms Stamps products. So will the rest of our SMS Design Team members, including our July Guest Designer - Suzanne from Scrap with Suzy!
Have a wonderful day!

Omg Mel, this is GENIUS!!! Such a clever way to use a paper crafting product for something other than paper crafting! Thank you for the inspiration!
Mel, this is a fabulous idea!! I love it! ~Hugs, Saundra
wow that is fantastic! I would have never thought you could cut vinyl with the die. Your daughters shoes turned out so cute! I might have to steal that idea, love it!
