Muggles and 2nd Cake!

So I was in a very literary frame of mind! When I bought them my thought process was - Oh! Love! Must. Have. Then they sat in their little Lavinia http://laviniastamps.com Stamps Folder on my laptop. And sat there. And sat there...

Last time I popped in to take a gander I finally came up with an idea on how to use them. The first one will end up going to daughter Amy's friend Jennie to give to her mama for her birthday. Her mother is an uber-fan of all things Harry Potter! I didn't know that until today. I thought she was just an uber-fan of all things quilts.

When I belatedly realized the store front on Fairy Houses sold WANDS - I immediately thought of HP! I printed more than the one set so I could have a marketplace, downloaded a HP looking font, and got busy!



Inside of card: From One Muggle to Another

HB not HP
~Base card PaperTrey Ink Sweet Blush card stock
~Basic Grey design paper Blush (used outside and inside)
~Crest hand created with Harry Potter like font on white card stock

~Lavinia digital image printed on white card stock, colored with Copics, edges smudged and distressed with Tim Holtz Edge Distresser
~Inside sentiment printed with laser printer
~Lined post it note for additional message (I always use lined papers inside for note writing...don't know about you but I like lines when I am writing!)

NEXT UP:
This cute Lavinia Hobbit House was obviously, as the name implies, destined for a Hobbit theme card - but what to do with it.... I decided that a Hobbit birthday card would call for an inside sentiment of something about "second cake".

Such fun designs. I will be NEEDING a few more digi purchases from Lavinia Stamps!


Hobbity Birthday!
~Base card - PaperTrey Ink Summer Sunrise card stock
~Layer of DCWV Once Upon A Time mat stock
~Spellbinders Scallop Circle die
~Lavinia digital image colored with Copics
~Sentiment laser printed using Hobbit-like font punched using SU Word Window dotted with Smooch Gold
~Layer of gold glitter tape across the top (had to represent "my precious")
~Inside sentiment Is It Time for Second Cake?

Inside sentiment on both Hobbit cards: Is it time for second cake?

A Very Hobbit Birthday!
~Base card PaperTrey Ink - New Leaf card stock
~Layer of design paper: The Paper Studio Little Safari
~ Two layers of scallop circle die cuts
~Image printed on Cryogen White colored with Copics
