New Release At La La Land Crafts

Hello everyone I'm here today with my DT creation for La La Land Crafts & this week all the girls are showing you the new release......have you seen it yet?
If not I know its because you have been abducted & kept hidden away from cyber space ;-)

Well you are in luck because I will show you the new release here & show you what I made with a super duper cute stamp.
Arn't they awesome!! Oooh so hard to choose a favourite as well....
Ok I will now show which of these fabulous rubber stamps I used...
I have used 'Baby Pumpkin Luka'....isn't he so cute!! The 2 baby pumpkin's I think would also be fabulous for a baby's first halloween........little baby dressed up in a pumpkin...too cute ;-)

I used all the dies from the new release I love them ALL!!!
Sentiment at the bottom comes with the stamp.

The awesome spider wed I covered with Webby stuff & added a plastic spider in there too......well they came with the webbing so it seemed rude not to use one of them ;-)

Baby Pumpkin Luka was coloured in Copics..........yep hubster brought me some copics at the weekend & this is my first image with them. Gosh I'm so rusty but practice will make me better lol.
Colours used....
Skin - E11, E21, E00, E000, R81 for the cheeks.
Hair - E29, E25, E23
Outfit, shoes, pacifier - Orange - YR02, YR04, YR09, R89, Green - YG21, YG03, YG23, YG25(inspiration from J. Dove) Grey - W7, W5, W3, W1

The 'Broom' (LOVE) I cut out twice, once in Black cardstock then again in the co-ordinating paper. I stuck just the edges of the paper down & once dry I then rounded it inside.......to give it kinda a 3D look instead of it being flat.........although these dies look awesome no matter what you do with them.
I finished off around the top with some twine. It looks fab IRL.

Paper I've used is Authentique 'Moonlit' 6x6 pad. I've stitched all around as always & matted onto black cardstock.

Hello everyone.....yayyyyy its Friday not only is it the weekend but me & my hubster are going away for the weekend just the 2 of us........I think its only ever the 2nd or 3rd time we've gone away without the family but the family couldnt make it this weekend & Natalie is away to respite for 3 days......looking forward to some quality time though.

Anyhoo I'm here today with my DT card for La La Land Crafts & this week our theme was Anything Goes...........now I did have something else planned but its been one of those weeks & didnt get time to finish it...
So here is my back-up for when all else fails lol.
No I know no image :-0 However I have used fabulous dies!! I love these dies, they are awesome for anyone getting a new doggy, which is what my card is for ;-)
The paper is Aunthentique, its called Devoted I think & perfect for our pet projects.
All layers have been machine stitched as always.
You can also see the Paw Border at the top better on this piccy.


I lurve this little dog house, its so cute!!. I also used the paw inserts to put a little blue paw print.
The grass I used Maja Design Summertime paper for that.

Inside decorated as always to co-ordinate with the front. I also added double ruffle trim along the bottom from Noor Design UK.

LLLC Dies used...........

Pop on over to the La La Land Blog & check out my teamies creations & the new design. You could also pop on over to the store here & see the new design website........they both look fab, but hey dont take my word for it....go on & have a peek ;-)

Blue and White at La La Land Crafts

Hello everyone I'm here today with my DT card for La La Land Crafts & this week us ladies were set the theme of Blue & White.
I decided use another one of the fabulous new release Christmas images as I lurve Blue & White crimbo cards....
So here is Marci.........
Now there is something different about this card on the first & last photo.....see if you can spot it ;-)
I have used my favourite dies, the 3 christmas trees & North Pole.........just lurve these!!

The sentiment Marci is standing next to are Life Cards from Authentique, they are fab. Of course I machine stitched around mine & thought it would be perfect use as a focal point with Marci.

The papers I've used are First Edition 'Silent Night' 8x8, I saw them last week & ordered them from Amazon on Prime so were here the next day. As I wasn't crafting properly last christmas I didnt get them.......I didnt get anything. It WILL NOT be the case this year lol.
The silver chrsitmas tree Marci is standing next to I fussy cut around one side of the paper so the tree stood out a bit more & wasn't hidden by Marci.

So did you see the difference?? Well I couldnt decide if the Bark Star in the first photo looked right on the card, so I didnt glue it in & took pics with & without....what do ya think??

Rubber Stamp used........

LLLC Dies used.....

Distress Markers & Refills......
Skin - Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose
Cheeks & Lips - Spun Sugar, Fired Brick
Hair - Hickory Smoke, Black Soot
Coat & Hat - Weathered Wood, Black Soot, Pumice Stone

That's it from me, I'm off looking for new bedding & wallpaper today for my bedroom, it got done last summer or just after & I let hubby pick the colour........to say I hate it is an understatement lol. He chose blue.....I hate blue in the home, yet its one of my faves in crafting....strange isn't it lol.

Anyhoo's lovelies enjoy your day &; hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Take care & big hugs to all

New Christmas In July Release

Hi everyone I'm back today with my 2nd card for the Christmas In July Release from La La Land Crafts.
List & links to the new Rubber Stamp & Dies used will be at the bottom.
Today I have a girly card with another one of the new rubber stamps & she's my favourite ;-)
This is Winter Coat Mollie.......I lurve Mollie I think she is so pretty.......she's the type of gal that would suit anything isn't she....you know the ones that would look good even in a tetty (potato) sack ;-)
She reminds me of my daughter..........there isn't a colour that she doesnt look pretty in.

I have used the new Snowflakes Set 1 die which you get 2 dies in, I've cut them each twice & layered them up & added a scalloped pearl to the centre.
I've also added in the Lamp Post as I love that & the North Pole sign although in hindsight I should have cut it out in different paper or card as it kinda blends in too much lol....oops. Mental note taken ;-)

I have used the 3Trees die....lurve this die so much & I've cut this out 4 times laid down 2, then popped the other 2 on foam pads to give them dimension. Mollie also got the foam pad treatment to give her dimension too.

The papers I've used are Authentique 'peaceful' 6x6 pad. I've added Pom Pom trim along the bottom which I think was from Live & Love Crafts, as were the bells which got the gesso treatment. The white silky crush ribbon is from my stash.

Pop on over to the La La Land Crafts Blog to see the other truly stunning makes, those girls over there are so darn talented.

New Christmas In July Release At La La Land Crafts

Hello everyone how are you all?
We are so excited today to show you the brand new Christmas In July release. There are 5 super gorgeous rubber stamp & a fantastic array of 10 Dies......I love them all!!!
So do you want to see the collection?........of course you do ;-)
These are the new stamps....

......and below are the new dies....
Now aren't they just fabulous!!
Today I've used Winter Luka & made a christmas card for a male........I love making Christmas cards, it's my favourite time of year.
I soooo lurve these new dies, the list of dies used with links & colours used will be at the bottom of the post.
The sentiment here was on the inside of the cover of the paper pad I used which is Authentique 'christmas Time' 6x6 pad.... I added 2 gems to it for some extra bling ;-)
You might be able to see the glitter on Luka's hat & on his lantern.

I made a card for someone who you would prefer to give either money or vouchers too....we all have that person in our family. On one side I made a tag using paper from the pad, card & I used a bit of border die along the top....the paper I folded back up on itself at the bottom.......plenty of space to write on.
The sentiment came with this rubber stamp.
I used one of the large border dies along the bottom.....the small border die I used on the inside.

I used the Ornate Scroll Flourish die either side of the middle layer. The Icicle border die I cut twice & layered it up. The trees I also cut twice & the 2nd one I popped onto foam pads to give it some dimension.... Have you seen that North Pole die.....OMG that is my favourite........& the trees.......ok ok I love them ALL!!!!

Pop along to the LLLC Blog to see all the fabulous inspiration the DT girlies have done......they are soooooo yummy fantastic.
