La-La Land Crafts In The Garden Marci

Hello!  Today, I have the cutest little Marci Card to share with you!  This is In The Garden Marci and she is part of the new June Release at La-La Land Crafts!  

For my card, I chose some fun and bright summer colors.  First, I colored up my image and cut it out using my scan N Cut 2.  Then I trimmed a piece of white card stock to fit my card base and stenciled a red plaid background.  Then I used the cloud die to stencil in a cloud background on another piece of white card stock.  I added a die cut fence, some grass, vines,  and flowers to my scene.  Then I popped Marci on top with some foam tape.  I stamped my sentiment in the top right corner and layered the whole piece on top of a blue die cut doily.  For a little extra interest, I added a yellow scallop die to the left side of my card.

La-La Land Crafts Best of Cluck!

Hello!  I'm back again today featuring another fun stamp set from the NEW June Release at La-La Land Crafts!  Today, it's all about chickens!!  The NEW Best of Cluck Stamp set is all kinds of fun with two mother hen stamps, 4 baby chicks, and lots of matching sentiments!  

For my card, I created a little farm scene!  First I used the NEW Daisies on My Mind Layering Stencil to create by background.  Then I layered on a little barn using the Country Hill Die.  In the foreground, I created a fun little scene complete with picket fence, vines, grass, flowers and of course...chickens!  After layering together the whole panel, I stamped a daisy background and adhered it on top.  I just love how fun this is!

CC Designs Tutorial- How to Create a Total Background Using the Clouds and Grasses Stencil

Hello!  Today, I'm so excited to share a fun tutorial using the NEW Clouds and Grasses Stencil from CC Designs!  This stencil is an absolute MUST!  You can create so much with it! 

Step #1: Gather your supplies.  You will need the Clouds and Grasses Stencil, colored ink (light blue, green, and darker blue), a blending tool (brushes or sponges), smooth white card stock. 

Step #2: Use the lightest blue ink and cloud side of stencil to create clouds on top portion of the card stock.  To get a more natural look, blend ink in selected spots instead of all the way across the stencil.  Vary the position of the stencil and chosen areas for blending. 

Step #3: Clean ink off of stencil with a baby wipe and dry.  Then use green ink and grass side of stencil to create a grassy hill in the middle of the card stock.  Use the straight grassy side just below it to add some depth to your scene. 

Step #4: Clean green ink from stencil.  Use darker blue ink and the cloud side of stencil to create waves at the bottom of the card stock.  Flip the stencil upside (I'm creating a grassy scene here, but this is also a great way to create a beach scene). 

Step #5: Clean stencil.  Allow card stock to dry for about 30 min.  Then use colored images to create a fun card.  Here, I've used images from the April & May Stamp Set to create my spring scene. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day! 

La-La Land Crafts This Little Piggy!

Hello!  It's time for the June La-La Land Release!  So many awesome stamps, dies, and stencils released this month!  Today, I'm featuring This Little Piggy!  This seat includes 4 adorable pigs and several coordinating sentiments!  For my card, I decided to create a little gardening scene.  First I die cut a scalloped rectangle from white card stock.  Then I used the new Simple Joys background stamp to stamp my background in blue.  I trimmed it to fit inside the rectangle and adhered the two together.  Then I die cut two lattices in white and layered those on top.  I added some "dirt" to the bottom of my scene with the stitched hills die and added some grass and vines.  Then I colored up my piggy, die cut him out using my Scan N Cut 2 and popped him on top with some foam tape.  A few flowers and my sentiment finish it all off.

CC Designs Release Day!

It's Release Day at CC Designs!  So many fun stamps and dies being released today!  Be sure to head over to the shop and check them all out!  For my card today, I'm featuring Bree and the New Fashionista Dies!  To create my card, I cut a piece of patterned paper to fit my A2 size card.  Then I trimmed a piece of black card stock so that the sides were slightly shorter.  I die cut four circles and layered that on top of my patterned paper.  Then I used the NEW Fashionista die set to create the fun fashion accessories and placed each one in the center of my circles.  I stamped out my image, colored her up using Copics, and cut her out with my Scan N Cut 2.  Then I popped her on top with some foam tape.  For my sentiment, I used the NEW Paris Dies set.  

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!

CC Designs June Release Preview Day 2

Hello!  It's Day #2 of Previews for the NEW CC Designs June Release!  This release includes everything "girly" from Stamps to Dies!   For my card today, I'm featuring Isabella!  Out of all the new stamps being released, I think she might be my favorite!  To create my card, I started with some pretty patterned paper and die cut that into a scalloped rectangle for the background.  Then I layered on a couple of journal cards.  I colored up my image with Copics, cut it out with my Scan N Cut 2, and popped it on top with some foam tape.  I also clustered a cute little Eiffel Tower die cut, some pretty flowers, and my sentiment.  To finish it off, I added a couple of flags and some die cut hearts.

La-La Land Crafts: Masculine Card

Hello!  Today, I'm sharing a fun Masculine Card for this week's theme at La-La Land Crafts!  This adorable stamp is called Jaunty Luka!  Isn't he adorable!  To create my card, I layered up some masculine patterned papers, colored my image to match, and cut it out on my Scan N Cut 2.  Then I die cut and pieced together my coffee cup and tucked that in behind Luka.  I stamped my sentiment on a strip of white card stock and added that across the cup.  Then I layered on two little coffee beans!  I just love how this turned out!
