La-La Land Crafts: Birthday

Hello there!  Hope you are having a great week!  Today, I am sharing a festive birthday card using stamps and dies from La-La Land Crafts!  This week's theme is all about birthdays!  
For my card, I decided to use this adorable little balloon penguin, dressing him up in a few accessories from other sets!  I just love that so many of the clear sets coordinate together!  I layered up some bright patterned paper, die cut a white scalloped rectangle and popped that on top with some foam tape.  Then I layered some pink paper inside of that and added a scalloped oval on top.  I colored up my little penguin and added him to the center using foam tape.  Then I embellished with some ribbon, enamel dots, glitter washi, and my sentiment.  A cute little die cut present finishes it all off.

Hello!  I'm back with a couple more cards using the NEW Club La-La Land Crafts January Kit!  


For my first card, I used Marci with Pen.  I colored her up in some fun "Valentine Colors" and fussy cut her out.  Then I popped her on top of a die cut circle and layered that on top of some cut typewriter paper.  I cut a strip of hot pink paper and layered that on top of some white card stock.  Then I added that to the right side of my card and layered on the envelopes border.  I also die cut the "with love" sentiment from some grey and red card stock and layered them both together.  I popped that on the bottom of my card, just under Marci's feet.  A few enamel dots finish it all off.

CC Designs Gift Card/Treat Envelope Tutorial

Hello!  I am so excited to share a fun tutorial using the NEW CC Designs Patterned Paper!  With just a single sheet of 6X6 paper, you can create a cute little gift card/treat holder envelope! 

Step #1: Start with a 6X6 sheet of patterned paper. 


Step#2: Fold the paper in half to create a triangle shape. 


Step #3: take the top of the triangle and fold one side down just a ¼ of an inch from the bottom.  Use your bone folder to smooth the fold. 


Step #4: Under the fold, take the right side of the triangle and fold underneath the top fold as seen in the photo below. 


Step#5: Do the same to the left hand side. Make sure that the top fold can still lay on top of your folds. 


Step #6: Fold the top down and staple it to the front.  You should have a pocket now.  Do not staple the back of your envelope. 



Step #7: Use a punch to round the corner on the top.  The bottom will not matter, we are going to cover it up. 


Step #8: Decorate the front of your envelope and stuff it with goodies like gift cards or candy.

La-La Land Crafts Blue and Gold


Hello!  This week's theme at La-La Land Crafts is Blue and Gold.  For my card, I decided to create a fun winter scene using the new patterned papers and Snow Amazing Stamp set!  To begin, I started with a sheet of the blue and white snowflake paper from the Blue Christmas Paper Pack.  I trimmed that to fit the front of my card panel.  Then I added a small strip of blue and white checkered paper to the bottom as well as a die cut scalloped strip of gold foil card stock.  Then I die cut a snowy hill for my bunnies and added that just above the checkered paper.  I used the Three Christmas Trees die to cut some gold trees and then I cut them apart to create two individual trees for the background.  Then, I colored up my bunnies and fussy cut them out.  I added them to my scene using foam tape and added a few gold sequins to the background.

La-La Land Crafts New Year/Inspirational

It's a new year and this week the theme at La-La Land Crafts is NEW YEAR/INSPIRATIONAL.  For my card, I decided to use this adorable gecko from the Never Change Stamp Set.  I just loved the sentiment that went along with him and I thought it fit this week's theme perfectly!  To create my card, I started with some speckled patterned paper from the Blue Christmas Paper Pack.  I trimmed it down to fit my A2 sized card and adhered it to the front.  Then I die cut a piece of paper from the Get Inky Paper Pack and layered that on top.  I just love how the La-La Land papers coordinate so well together!  I colored up my gecko with Copics and cut him out using my Scan N Cut 2.  Then I used foam tape to pop him on top of some die cut leaves.  My embossed sentiment and a few enamel dots finish the card off.
