Lavinia World #38 ~ Halloween Lantern

Hello crafting friends and welcome to challenge #38  at Lavinia World,
where the theme is always Anything Goes!

 I'm not sure if you remember the Halloween lantern I made last year using Lavinia Stamps, but if you want to take a look, you'll find it on this post.

This year, I thought I would make another Halloween lantern, but this time on a card.

I didn't use a lot of stamps on this card and it came very quickly together. Unfortunately, I had a dickens of a time photographing the first photo due to the acetate that I put on the lantern to give the illusion of glass.

On the inside, I used some of the same stamps, did some ink blending using the same inks and left enough space to write my own personal message.

Now for the small list of supplies I used, each linked to the

 Lavinia World store, for your convenience.

Willow the Witch

Fairy Web

Bats

Sea Bubbles

Fairy Hugs Glitter - Translucent Pearl

Fairy Hugs Glitter - Ocean

Distress Oxide - Milled Lavender

Distress Oxide - Dusty Concord

Memento Ink - Paris Dusk

Memento Ink - Cottage Ivy

VersaFine Clair - Nocturne

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I hope I have inspired you to grab your stamps and make a project to come play along with us.  Although our theme is always Anything Goes, you do have to use physical stamps, either rubber or clear.

Lavinia World #35 ~ Oliver

Hello crafting friends and welcome to challenge #35 at Lavinia World,
where the theme is always Anything Goes!

Meet Oliver, the owl...

It's a cold winter's night and Oliver is perched on a log, attentively looking around for the slightest sound or movement as it could mean dinner!!!

Isn't he awesome.  Oliver is from the newest release from Fairy Hugs stamps, as are the Logs.  I turned the largest log into a tree trunk in order to place Oliver in the moonlight

I added a little shrubbery from Lavinia Stamps, by using the Fern Branch and the Snow Shrub images.

I love how Fairy Hugs stamps work so beautifully together with the Lavinia stamps I already have on hand.

Here is the list of crafty ingredients, each linked to the Lavinia World store,

 for your convenience.

Lavinia Stamps - Snow Shrub

Lavinia Stamps - Fern Branch

Fairy Hugs Stamps - Oliver

Fairy Hugs Stamps - Logs

Distress Oxides - Stormy Sky

Distress Oxides - Faded Jeans

Memento Ink - Paris Dusk

Dies R Us #148 ~ Anything Goes

Hello crafting friends and welcome to a new challenge at Dies R Us.

Challenge # 148 ~ Anything Goes

(As long as you use a die that is sold by Dies R Us)

Unfortunately, sometimes, we just need one of these cards.

I started with a white A7 card base. Using navy blue card stock, I cut out the mat for the front of the card, the inside of the card and also the die cuts.  I cut another mat in white and dry embossed it using the Stone Wall embossing folder from Crafter's Companion. I used  Pumice Stone Distress Oxide ink to highlight the distressed look of the wall.

Then it was just a matter of adhering the die cuts to the front and the inside of the card.

The sentiment was computer generated.

Here is the list of supplies I used:

Amy Design ~ Sympathy Corner

Marianne Design ~ With Sympathy (Special Order Sale)

Memory Box ~ Mini Butterflies

Distress Oxide Ink - Pumice Stone

Once again, I used a die from Marianne Designs. I get these and other International dies, when Dies R Us have their Special Order Sales.  The best way to know about these sales is to subscribe to their newsletter. That way you won't miss out on International die sales and other special events that take place every so often.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I hope I was able to inspire you to create a project, and  play along with us at the Dies R Us Challenges for your chance to win a gift certificate to the Dies R Us Store.  A new challenge begins on the 1st and 15th of each month.  Be sure to follow on Facebook and Pinterest too.

Before I go, I'd like to remind you that Dies R Us' sister store,  Didi Crafts, is now open. It has warehouses located in the USA and Canada.  It has some products that are the same as Dies R Us, but in addition, it carries international dies, including Marianne Design, and other crafty supplies for a variety of crafts.  Go take a peek and be pleasantly surprised!

Till next time,

stay safe and healthy!

Lavinia World #29 ~ Fairy Door

Hello crafting friends and welcome to challenge #29 at Lavinia World,
where the theme is always Anything Goes!

Edger dies are quickly becoming one of my favourites. Love their effect on a card, they're easy to use, and the possibilities are endless.  For my card today, I used the Fair Door Edger die from Creative Expressions.  Doesn't it work beautifully with the Lavina stamps?

It didn't take long at all to put this card together, yet I love the look of it.

I cut the edger die out of black card stock. Remember that African Twilight paper pack I recently used in a couple of other projects? Well, my friends these beautiful papers are from the same pack.

All that was left to do was to stamp the ferns and the vine, sponge a little ink on the sides all the way around it, and that was it.  Oh, yes, I also added a few pearls. 

List of crafty ingredients, each linked to Lavinia World Store, for your convenience.

Fairy Door Edger

Fern Heads

Silver Lining

Distress Oxide - Broken China

Distress Oxide - Peacock Feathers

Memento Ink Tuxedo Black

Lavinia World #28 ~ Sky

Hello crafting friends and welcome to challenge #28 at Lavinia World,
where the theme is always Anything Goes!



I recently purchase the African Twilight paper pad and while going through its pages, I thought that this beautiful fairy would sound magical during an African sunset :-)

Since I wanted to capture Sky's silhouette on the rich and warm colours, I didn't add too much to this card front. I stamped a variety of mushrooms, just the two bunnies and a few luna lights. You can find the full supply list further down in this post.

On the inside, I added the fairy birthday wishes and a vine corner to add a little interest.
All images were stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, except the greeting. I used Memento Lilac Posies for that.

Here is the list of crafty ingredients I used, each linked to the 
Lavinia World store, for your convenince.

Sky

Pipin

Whimsical Hares

Toadstool

Mini Toadstool

Meadow Mushroom

Mini Slender Mushrooms

Luna Lights

Trailing Ivy

Fairy Happy Birthday

 
Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black

Memento Ink - Lilac Posies


Distress Ink - Hickory Smoke
