La-La Land Crafts Take It Sloth Valentine Card Tutorial

Hello Everyone! I'm so excited to share a fun Valentine Card tutorial using the NEW Take It Sloth Clear Stamp Set.  These little cuties were part of the Love Box, but now you can purchase them in the STORE.  So be sure to pop over there if you missed out on them!  


Here is what you will need...



Plus...

Blending Cardstock

Momento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad

Distress Oxide Inks: Cracked Pistachio and Peeled Paint
Ink Blending Tool
Scissors
Polka Dot Patterned Paper
Foam Tape
White Gel Pen

Copic Markers: E30, E31, E34, E35, E37, E49, R22, R24, R27, R56, R59, YG21, YG23, YG67




Step-by-Step:

STEP 1: Cover your blending cardstock with Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink.  Then use the It's Snowing Layering Stencil to create darker green stripes with the Peeled Pain Distress Oxide Ink.  


STEP 2: Then trim a piece of red polka dot patterned paper to fit the front of your card base.  Mine has been cut to 4x5.25 so that it's slightly smaller than the front of my card (this will give me a white border when my card is finished).  Next, use the Double Stitched Square Die to cut a window in the paper.  


STEP 3: Trim the inked square to that it fits behind the window in the polka dot paper.  Then, use the Birch Trees Die to cut 3 trees from kraft cardstock and adhere them to the inked square.  Cut approx. 5 sets of leaves from the Open Leaf Flourish Die in two different colors of green and arrange them on top of the trees so they cover most of the square.  Adhere and trim off anything that hangs over.  


STEP 4: Adhere polka dot paper to the "jungle" square so that it peeks through the window.  Stamp, color, and fussy cut sloths, and hearts.  Cut a little slit in one of the sloth's arms so you can tuck in the die cut hearts.  Cover the backs of each sloth with foam tape.  


STEP 5: Arrange sloths on the card and adhere with foam tape.  Add stamped and colored leaves to the branches.  Use the Scalloped Rectangle Die to create two scalloped borders for your card.  Simple trim off and adhere to card.  Stamp greeting on the flag die from the Stitched Elements Die Set and adhere to the bottom of the card.  


STEP 6: Use white gel pen to add finishing highlights to the scene!  


For the inside of the card, I die cut a Scalloped Rectangle, stamped out my sentiment, and added a small strip of patterned paper along with another leaf die cut.  


Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope this tutorial has inspired you to create your own card using this adorable new set!

La-La Land Be Unique

Hello!  I'm back today sharing yet another New Stamp set released for Creativation!  This adorable set is from La-La Land Crafts and is called Be Unique.  It features the sweetest little unicorns and a bunch of coordinating sentiments!  

For my project, I made a shadow box card.  I measured out and scored two pieces of white cardstock, attaching them together to form a little box.  Then I added my 3D hills, a rainbow with clouds, some tiny hearts, and my unicorns, of course!  The background was created using the new Magical Sparkles Stencil.  I decorated the front of the card with a scalloped rectangle, stage curtain, and ribbon corner die.  I also added several of the small stars as well.  I just love how this turned out!  So much fun!

Hello!  I'm so excited to be sharing so many new stamps, dies, and stencils from La-La Land Crafts!  I've been working with these goodies for several weeks now and it's been killing me to keep them a secret!  But...the wait is over, now I can share all this crafty goodness with all of you! 


Today, I'm featuring the NEW Traveling Cats Clear Stamp set, Dream Come True Clear Stamp set, Unicorn Marcie Rubber Stamp Set, and Love Notes Rubber Stamp Set!  All of these sets are currently available in the La-La Land Crafts shop.  Be sure to hop over there and check them all out! 


First up is the oh-so-cute Traveling Cats Clear Stamp set.  This adorable set features 4 fun cats and 7 matching sentiments!  For my card, I chose some cute star patterned paper, colored up my little airplane cat to match, and fussy cut him out.  Then I used the NEW Cloud Border Dies to sponge a sky background on my die cut circle, stamped out my sentiment and popped my cat on top with some foam tape.  I used 3 clouds from the cloud border set to tuck at his feet and then I die cut some red chevrons for my background.  I layered the whole thing on top of my die cut scalloped rectangle and finished it off with some stars from the NEW Small Stars die.

The next set I'm showcasing is the NEW Dream Come True Clear Stamp.  This sweet set features a princess, knight, and two dragons along with several sentiments that coordinate.  I have to tell you, I had so much fun creating with this set.  The possibilities are really endless.  For my card, I decided to create a little castle scene.  Again, I used the NEW Cloud Border die to sponge my sky background.  The I used the Castle Border die with the NEW Castle die to create a full sized castle for the background.  I stamped out my images, colored them up with Copics and popped them on top of the NEW Once Upon A Time Background Stamp.  I also create a little rainbow, stamped out my sentiment, and added a few stars for interest.  I just love how this turned out.  It's quite possibly my favorite card so far this year!

Keeping things magical, I also got to create with the NEW Unicorn Marcie Rubber Stamp set.  I just love how cute she is in her little unicorn costume.  So fun for any occasion, even Halloween!  For my card, I kept the colors soft and pastel.  I stamped out Marcie and colored her up with my Copics.  Then I fussy cut her out and popped her on top of a scalloped rectangle.  I used the new stencils to emboss the background behind her.  Then I rubbed a little ink over the top to help it stand out.  I die cut several stars using the NEW Double Stitched Stars die and placed those throughout the card.  I also added a border across the top using the NEW Stage Curtain die and Small Stars die.  My sentiment, some enamel dots, and a couple of Shooting Stars finish it off.

For my first card, I decided to create a sweet Valentine's Day card with Heart Locket Marci.  I stamped her out, colored her up with my Copics, and fussy cut her out.  Then I die cut several pieces of patterned paper, layered them together and popped Marci on top with some foam tape.  I tucked in a couple of die cut wings to make her look like an angel.  Then I added my sentiment, a die cut key and a heart locket.  Some enamel dots sprinkled throughout finish it off.
