New Release at La La Land Crafts

Hello everyone........so are you ready to see another one of these fabulous new stamps from La La Land Crafts....Of course you are ;-)

I saved Birthday Frenchie for today because.........its my birthday today, happy birthday to me 21 years young lol........yeah I wish lol

This is Birthday Frenchie......& not forgetting his fabulous little cupcake there next to his kennel...this also comes with the stamp as well as the sentiments.

This the card starting to open, one side I shaped like an envelope.
This is the left side inside.........its a pocket to put a Gift Voucher for a Pet Store. Perfect for someone getting a new dog or for someone who wants to celebrate their dogs birthday.
I have of course used a couple of the new dies here.

This is the centre, I have used the Fence die & the Dog Kennel die again. Behind the kennel I have slid a tag to write a message on & a cut out tag form the paper set which I attached the sentiment to,
This is that envelope shape part you saw at the fornt. All of the tags I cut from the paper pack that these papers are form, such a gorgeous pad. ON the inside of the cover was this quote which I thought was perfect for attaching inside.
Under the paw print die is a hidden magnet which keeps it all shut.
The fabulous stamp was coloured with distress markers & refills, colours used are...
Antique Line, Walnut Stain
Evergreen Bough, Coral, Black Soot.
The cloud paper is from another paper pack. I added grass & a fence & hid a bone in the grass.
I also added another sentiment from the stamp


This is the inside in full view.
There is also another magnet on the other side & everything stays shut tightly.
The Birthday Frenchie is actually on a spring so it bounces around. Will add a video of it when I get back off my holiday.

List of LLLC items used.....
Birthday Frenchie
Paw Border die
Paw Prints die
Woof die
Dog Kennel die

All available from La La Land Crafts.

Thanks for stopping by, tatty bye

Matching Baby Box Noor Design UK

Hello everyone, I'm hoping this post has gone live as I'm on holiday with all my family at the lake district...hopefully having a wonderful time regardless of what the british weather has in store for us lol.

This month's new challenge over at Noor Design UK is Anything Goes with the added option of Chipboard, I made a baby card, click here to see & here is the matching box that goes with it...........using lots of yummy Scrapiniec that Tracy over at Noor Design UK stocks......new ones due in anytime now peeps ;-)
So I used the same Lemoncraft papers on the box as I did with the card, only difference is I mainly used 12x12 sheets. I stitched each layer. Around the top I've added beautiful lace which is elasticated but perfect for any project.

I havnt made an exploding box for soooooo long but as soon as I saw this gorgeous Chipboard Crib by Scrapiniec I knew  I wanted to make one of these........I love the Scrapiniec range & got get enough of it lol.
On the 2 squares where I've added tags I've added Name Tags(not sure what they are called lol) going across which is from the Magnolia Club volume 9. The Star die cut you can see under the Scrapiniec Pram & Scrapiniec wording is from Magnolia Club volume 10 which Tracy still has in stock...remember once these are gone you cannot buy these dies anywhere.
The crib I lined with Lemoncraft Trim across the bottom. 


On the other side of the crib I added a Scrapiniec Dress & Scrapiniec Hanger, the dress I covered in matching paper & added fine pearl string to the neck & waist. Along the bottom which might be hard to see in the photo I also added more lace, the double ruffle one which is so pretty.
Just peeking out from the buttons you can just see the Scrapiniec Brick Work....I just cut what I needed from the sheet.
This is the lid & as you can see I've added more Scrapiniec Chipboard & gorgeous flowers from Noor Design UK.

The Maja Design papers are due in this week as well as more new STUNNING Scrapiniec products....I need them all & am hoping my lovely hubster will buy them all for me for my birthday this week lol.

Hope you like my exploding box I had fun doing this.
Tatty bye & take care
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

The papers are actually Maja Design 'A Gift For You', which shows that some papers can be used all year round.

Flowers are from Noor Design UK.
Used some gorgeous lace & tulle trim & attached it along the bottom of the fabulous fence.
The little matching gift bag/box I made using my Silhouette Cameo.......yes hubster brought me one & I LOVE IT!! This is what I made with it, I got the template from the Silhouette Store.
Used more fabulous La La Land Crafts dies, they really are awesome dies, cut brilliantly every single time.
