Lavinia World Challenge #7 - Christmas Card

Would you say there is still plenty of time to make all the Christmas cards? Well, I started earlier :) You know what they say, The early bird ... 
So because it is time for the second Lavinia World Challenge of this month, I made a simple and elegant card, using the Mary stamp from Lavinia 

I used:

- a piece of white card stock of 29 x 10 cm which I folded in half to get the card base, 300/gsm white card stock

- the base panel is made out of 200 g white card stock on which I played with Distress Oxides and a stencil from my stash

- I die cut using a snow globe cutting die, a piece of velum on which I embossed the stamp using golden embossing powder - I absolutely looveee the result

- I glued the snow globe on the base panel and also added a purple ribbon bow

- I die cut the sentiment using a piece of red thick card stock and then added Glossy accents for some more effect

And this is it!

As I told you, it is a very beautiful stamp and you can used it is soo many projects!

Now it is your turn!!!

Challenge #119 - Scrapy Land DT

First Wednesday of the month? Well my friends, it is time for a new challenge over at Scrapy Land!

It looks like I am starting to get the hang of masculine cards :))) or not. 

For you today I have a very simple card, which I think is perfect for a man. It is a birthday card but you can transform it any other way.

For my project I used 

Amy Design - Dies - Daily Transport - Brick Wall

The car is from a stamp set I got long time ago, but you can use the one from Lawn Fawn and any Balloons cutting die that you find here.

The sentiment is from Tonic Studios, but you can also use any other cutting die from here.

I cut the card base from white card stock - 300 gsm, 14 x14 cm. I glued the brick wall after I cut it out of blue card stock.

This cutting die is just adorable and so versatile. 

I stamped, cut and coloured the car. I used Promarkers. Added glossy accents for the windows and 2 yellow gems for the lights. Also, stamped, cut and coloured the balloons. I glued them using double side adhesive tape for some dimension. For the car I used a wobble, just for fun. :)

Stamped and cut the sentiment and added it to the card.

This is the final result. Hope you like it.

And now it is your turn.

                                          

For the Scrapy Land challenges the theme is always ANYTHING GOES. 

All you have to do is to use for your project at least one brand of die that you can shop over at Scrapy Land.  

There is one WINNER, randomly chosen, the winner will receive a generous $15 gift certificate to Scrapy Land.

Please link back to this Scrapy Land Challenge and include the link to this challenge on your blog post.  It would also be extremely helpful if you would list the brands of dies used in your project.  

We cannot wait to see what you create! 

Until next time, stay safe and take care :

#6 Lavinia World Challenge

Hello my lovely friends,

I have another project for you. It is my inspiration for the #6 Lavinia World Challenge.

For you today I have a card I made using Distress Oxide backgrounds :) They are quite the challenge for me, but due to a dear friend of mine :) I manage to get out of my comfort zone.

The card itself is pretty easy to be made.

I first stamped and black heat embossed the stamp Moon Fairy 

 Then I proceeded to making the main panel on which I blended Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet and Blueprint Sketch. I die cut a circle in the middle and added double sided foam tape.

Before assembling I added Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade over the fairy. 

I assembled the 2 panels and then decided it needs some sparkle in order to match the sentiment - which is also black heat embossed. The sentiment is Fairy Dust is Like Love.

As final touches I added some Nuvo Glitter glue pen and 3 transparent sequins.

Now it is your turn!!!

Enter your project and win a $15 gift certificate to use it on a shopping spree Lavinia World! and a challenge badge :)

Keep Swimming - Goha Digital DT project

Hello, hello

Today I have a very cute and interactive card to share. I am not really a sea person, I cannot swim therefore I prefer hiking and mountains, but I do love the cute seahorses :) 
So, seeing this cute stamp designed by Goha , I just had to make a card with it :)
Because I am blessed with having a wonderful crafty friend - @Alina Tanner from Happy Crafts, that always comes up with the craziest and funniest ideas, this is what I ended with ...

Isn't he adorable? An it spins and goes round and round :))

I used a watercolour paper as background panel on which I splashed green and blue and added plenty of water.

Printed, cut and coloured the seahorse - I used Deco Craft coloured pencils.

Stamped, cut and coloured some sea plants.

The mechanism is just a circle in the middle of the main panel and under there is a slightly bigger on on which I added 4 layers of foam tape to glue down the sea horse.

As final touches I added some glossy accents and the sentiment.

And this is the result :)

Really hope you will enjoy it and make sure to check out the beautiful stamps created by Goha.

Until next time, stay safe and be creative :)
