Lavinia World Challenge #22 ~ Fairy Prince, Oberon!

Hello crafting friends and welcome to challenge #22 at Lavinia World,
where the theme is always Anything Goes!

I have a very handsome fellow to share with you today.

This Fairy Prince, Oberon, has my faeries all atwitter 😀

Isn't he just a handsome fellow?

And yes, word has spread that he's coming to visit!!!

I used a clear Wink of Stella pen to give his wings this beautiful sparkle.

As much as I would love to tell you all that my colouring has improved this much, it just wouldn't be true. I didn't colour him at all. When you go to the Tattered Lace webside, they have a Floral Fantasy PDF download. Once you've downloaded the images, you can then use your die to cut him out.

He is a rather large fellow, but so handsome. My card is 5.75" x 5.75". With his wingtip sticking out, the whole card does fit into a 6" x 6" envelope. It may cost a little extra in postage, but he's totally worth it 😀 Please note that the above craft mat is in inches

On the inside of my card, I sponged some of the same inks I used in the front and then continuously stamped the Vine in VersaFine Clair, Shady Lane ink.

I had a lot of fun making my scene on this card. I love the combination of using dies and stamps. It really is the best of both worlds 😀

Now for the supply list. I've linked each item to the
Lavinia Wold store for your convenience.

Anniversary Card for Hubby

Hello crafting friends. Today, I would like to share the card I made for my hubby for our 32nd Anniversary.

I love the Art Deco die collection from Tattered Lace. I think I would have been happy living in those days of glammer and glitz :-)

I must admit that I'm very happy with how this card came out.

With this pic, I wanted to show you that I added a heart scroll to the middle fold of the card. To put one on every fold seemed a little too busy to me, and to leaved it all white ... well, it was ALL white and a little blah, so I opted to put a little something just in the middle. What do you all think?

Although you can put your message panel on the inside, I put mine on the back instead.

I used the same art deco die and a little left over heart.

Now to share the details of how I put this card together:

These are the dies I used:

Tattered Lace - Art Deco Stepper Card

Tattered Lace - Glitz & Glam Grace & Charles

Memory Box - Hearts Flourish

Start by cutting the base of your card. This is a large card, 8" x 6", so you'll need a 12" x 12" sheet of cardstock. Even though it's a large card, it fits into an A9 envelope which mails with regular postage.

I cut my background pieces out of Bazzil cardstock and my fancy cuts out of a sheet of the Making Memories Wedding Paper Pad. I used my fine tip Zig glue pen to glue it all together. Next time though, I'm going to adhere the fancy paper to a self adhesive sheet before die cutting. It would have made life a lot easier :-) I edged all my fancy paper with a C5 copic marker.

So here is what the card base looks like once all the bits and pieces are adhered together and placed on it.

Isn't it pretty?

Next, I cut out my Grace and Charles. I cut them out twice so that I could do some colouring and some paper piecing.

Here is Grace all ready to be put on the card. I used the Rose Collection of the copic markers (R81, R83, R85) to colour her dress, wrapper, hat and shoe. I added a little bit of sparkle with a Wink of Stella clear pen and some pearls to make it more glamorous. Next, I worked on Charles. I adhered foam tape to the back of each and placed them on the card.

I cut the hearts flourish in grey and in pink and paper piece the hearts in the opposite colour. Lastly I trimmed and adhered the flourishes to the card.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope I was able to inspire you to use your dies, create a project, and come play along at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog for your chance to win a gift voucher to the Dies R Us Store. A new challenge begins on the first and fifteenth of every month. Be sure to Follow Us on Facebook too.

Celebrate in Style!

I'm back to share a card with you that I made for my DT post at the Dies R Us Inspirational Blog.

I'm totally in love with the Art Deco dies from Tattered Lace.

So for this card, I started with the Art Deco Card die.

The way to use this die is to cut, score and fold your card stock to create a 5 7/8" x 4 1/8" tent card base. Place the die about 1/4" over the fold and then run it through your die cutting machine.

This is what you are left with once it's cut. Since I wanted to paper piece the pink decorative paper in the cut out slots, I made a backing mat for my inside of my card, both front and back.

In order to this, I traced the card onto black card stock and cut the shape out by hand. I've traced it onto white card stock, on the pic above, so that it shows up more clearly. Make sure you cut a little on the inside of the line so that it does not stick out when you adhere it to the card base.

Using the Art Deco Card die again, I cut it out of the pink prism paper. By doing this, you are left with the correct sized pieces to paper piece your card on the front. You're left with a negative cut which you can use on another card. I punched out two little hearts and added them for a little more interest and stamped the greeting on the inside.

Once the card base was ready, I cut out Tattered Lace's Eliza, coloured her with copic markers, and used foam tape on the back to adhere her to the card base.

And there you have it ... a very stylish card that was easy to make and put together :-)

Here is a quick recap of the dies I used.
