Lavinia

Hello

We are taking a little trip to the land of myths and magic today.
Stamps from Lavinia were used for these cards.

Backgrounds were created on white card using masking techniques and distress inks.

All stamping was done with Versafine inks.

Panels were then attached to card bases and designs highlighted with white gel pen, liquid pearls glitter glue and Wink of Stella pens.

The background for this blue card was created on patterned paper.

Stamped panels were matted on to coordinating coloured card, then on to the card bases.

Gems and glitter add highlights.

The outside edge of all image panels was framed with glitter glue.

Have a great day

Till next time

Myths & Magic - Stampin'up

Hello

Here are a couple of ideas for kids cards, featuring stamps, dies and papers from Stampin'up Myths and Magic set.

For the first card, the cloud paper was added to the card front, then a second torn paper layered to the lower section, and a strip of washi tape added. A scalloped oval was die cut from purple star paper and tucked behind the edge of the torn piece. A stamped and coloured dragon and a knight were added. The castle is cut from patterned paper. Sentiment labels were stamped and die cut and added, and rhinestones finished off.
The second card uses the negative piece from which the purple star oval was cut, with a glitter card frame behind the aperture. Stars were stamped on to the card base in the oval area. The wizard is stamped, coloured and die cut.

Mermaids and seahorses were stamped, coloured and die cut, then layered over die cut ovals onto a paper covered card base. Flourishes are die cut from glitter card. Rhinestones added to finish off.

Stickles glitter glue and glossy accents were used to highlight some areas.

Enjoy

Fairies Mini Album

Good Morning

I haven't shown you a mini album for a while, so here is a fairy album recently created.
Stamped images and rhymes are from Lavinia stamps. Other magical sentiments are from Kaszazz.

The album is 6 inches square and has 8 internal pages.

I have added pockets and tags through the album so there is plenty of room for photos and stories.

The album is bound with rings to allow pages to be added or removed

Rhinestones, Stickles and Wink of Stella pens add sparkle.

Till next time

have a magical happy time
