All the stamps on this card are Lavinia Stamps and have been inked with Stampin’ Up Night of Navy. The smaller circle has been edged with Weathered Wood Distress Ink, the centre swooshed with Peach Pastel Color Box Chalk ink. Lots of white glitter has been sprinkled here and there – I find the Quickie Glue Pen ideal for this job. Lace and machine stitching added, and Basic Grey Granola papers layered onto Bazzill Bling Blind Date (used with the plain reverse side uppermost).

Thank you Sylvia…i love this.

This took about ten minutes to do! I used my new, Large Stag stamp that I purchased from you at Ally Pally last Sunday and the small star stamp. Versafine Onyx Black ink. My Hougie Board for the scored lines and a quickie glue pen and glitter …nice and easy does it !x

Thank you Eileen…you are very clever.

This card was great fun to make ..I used various colours of Adirondack inks and all the images are, of course,Lavinia Stamps! I used my brayer for the background and tore some copy paper for the mountains. The images are stamped using Versafine Onyx Black.I have posted it on my blog.http://eileenscraftyzone.blogspot.com/ Your designs are so lovely Tracey … best wishes to Kevin x

Thanks so much Eileen…this is lovely.

I used the Vine and Nigela Damascena stamps. I cut a tag shape out of card and stamped the Vine on one side in Versamark ink. I used clear embossing powder (would use white next time to make the vine brighter) over the top and heated it to create a resist. I then used foam to blend distress inks over it: Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Aged Mahogany. Using black Staz-On ink, I stamped the Nigela Damascena image over the top a couple of times. On a separate piece of card, I blended the same inks and stamped the Nigela Damascena image in Versamark ink to create a watermark effect. I then stamped my sentiment over the top in black Versafine ink. I attached the small piece to the tag with 3D foam pads and added Opal Liquid Pearls followed by fine gold glitter.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write how you created these lovely cards Theresa

I used the Leaf Trail, Group of Poppies and Fern Leaf stamps. I cut a circle out of a post-it note to create a mask for the moon and placed this on my card. I used foam (having attempted the brayer yet!) to blend Worn Lipstick distress ink over the entire card, followed by Dusty Concord distress ink over the bottom portion and overlapping the bottom of the moon slightly to create a mist-like effect I then tore a piece of paper to create a mask for most of the card, leaving the earth section exposed. I used foam to blend Black Soot distress ink over the exposed area. I removed the masks and stamped the poppy stamps beneath the moon and the Fern Leaf round the base (using the second impression for some dimension). I stamped the Leaf Trail from the top (using the second impression again), overlapping the moon a little. I then added Stickles.

I’ve tried adding liquid pearls and glitter to a previous project and it stuck to the distress ink (it did look good though!). I probably could have heat set the ink first, but I didn’t want to risk it at this stage! I’m sure if I used dye ink I wouldn’t have this problem, but having invested in my distress inks, I don’t want to start having to buy a similar set of dye inks!

I love these stamps!

I love this card!! Thank you for sending it in Theresa

Stamp Used : Fairy Shops
I shaded the background using cut and dry foam and ink from the big n juicy pad, mountain meadow.
Stamped the image and added gels pen accents to look like fairy lights.
Added snow paste for effect and glitter stickles.

What a lovely Christmas card Emma, thank you for sending it in.

This is my official first attempt at using the Oriental collection of stamps following a couple of trial and errors. It’s getting there I think. Used Eggplant and stream for the background images. The trees were stamped in Versafine, vintage sepia and either Olympia green or crimson red and the foliage in imperial purple. The 2 Chinese buildings were stamped first with versamark, then onyx black and lastly embossed with black powder.

Thank you for sending this in Wendy, like the subtle colours.

These are all the beautiful free stamps I got with Craft Stamper magazine. I stippled the inks on as I find I keep getting lines with the brayer. Used distress inks pumice stone and tumbled glass and Adirondack Twilight Lavender.

Thanks for sharing this with us Lisa
