Witch Marci by La La Land Crafts

So what did you think about the La La Land Crafts Halloween/Super Hero Release? Aren't they just the cutest stamps ever? I love them all and I'm having so much fun coloring them with my Copic markers!

If you picked up some of these cuties or any La La Land Crafts images, don't forgot to share your beautiful cards with us at our CUSTOMER GALLERY! Each month, we have a random winner selected from the gallery to win a prize! Who knows, the lucky winner might be you!

For my card today I used Witch Marci she's a new release drawn by the very talented Irina at La La Land Crafts.  I colored her with Copic markers to match the patterned paper.  Her dress looks black but it's actually purple!    I also used a Silver Copic Spica pen for the buckles on her hat and shoes.  She's cut out with a Spellbinder's die and my card layout is a Mojo Monday sketch from back in August that I really liked.

Witch Marci is one of the wonderful stamps in the Marci Halloween line at  La La Land Crafts!  This cute Halloween line was released just this last week, if you haven't seen it yet run to the La La Land Crafts store because you really don't want to miss these cuties!

My card today used Pumpkin Marci, I just love coloring these fun images!  Pumpkin Marci is colored with Copic markers and the layout is something that I just kind of came up with as I went along.  The spider came with the patterned paper package that I bought on clearance last year and she's cut out with a Spellbinder's die.  I'm going to keep my post short today because there's a lot of Marci goodness for you to see!

There will be blog hop candy for one lucky winner so don't forget to leave a comment at each stop so you'll have one more chance to win!   I hope you're having a great time!

Cheerleader Marci

I'd like to share my Cheerleader Marci card with you today!  Have you had a chance to go by La La Land Crafts and check out the new Marci line of stamps?!  This Cheerleader Marci is one of them!

My card today was inspired by a cute little girl named Lexi, she's my husbands granddaughter.  Lexi is 7 years old and a cheerleader.   She had a game to cheer for Saturday and after her game she visited with us.  I told her how inspired I was by her cheer outfit and asked her lots of questions about the colors of her pom poms, shoes, socks, etc.  The trim on her cheer outfit was silver metallic and she said her pom poms had light blue and silver metallic streamers.  

For my card I used Stampin' Up! Brocade Blue  and Silver metallic card stocks along with Carnival Navy and Neenah White.  Marci is colored with Copic markers, B91, B93, B95 and B97 went really well with the SU Brocade Blue.  I also used the Copic Spica Silver glitter pen on her trim and in her pom poms.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is computer generated so I could make it personal.

Be sure to check back here later in the week, there's more La La Land Crafts fun coming...

Birthday Wishes

Irina's new Marci line was released yesterday at La La Land Crafts!

Did you get a chance to go and see all the cute Marci rubber stamps she's come out with?!

There are more coming soon but that's all I can tell you for now!

For my card today I used Birthday Marci and Basic Grey Kioshi paper.  I just love her little panda bear!  Instead of using black for my panda I used a darker brown and like the way it looks with these Basic Grey papers.  My layout is SC283 from Splitcoaststampers, I haven't used one of their sketches for quite awhile!  The flower is a Papertrey Ink die that I cut several layers of flowers and put them together and bent and scrunched until I was somewhat happy with it.  The ovals are Stampin' Up! punches as is the photo corner. 

Sweet Dreams Marci

My card today features La La Land Crafts Sweet Dreams Marci, isn’t she the cutest?!

She’s colored with Copic markers to match the Basic Grey Offbeat paper.  The layout for my card is sketch #107 from Clean & Simple Stamping, the flowers and scalloped die are made by Papertrey Ink, the “smile” sentiment is made by Verve Visual and it’s on a Spellbinder’s tag die.  Clean and simple!

Sweet Dreams Marci will be available on September 15th along with 4 other Marci's in RUBBER! However, you can purchase the digital images of Cheerleader Marci and Marci with Rose at the Online Store now!

For my lucky readers who  live in Northern California, you can join the fun at one or

I have another Marci card for you today!  This is cheerleader Marci, she's going to be available for purchase as a rubber stamp September 15th with Irina's new Marci line at La La Land Crafts.  In the mean time there is a 25% off sale on existing rubber stamps going on! 

I colored cheerleader Marci with Copic markers to match a pad of Martha Stewart scrapbook paper I have.  I'm sorry I don't have the marker colors for you, I colored her on a day that I was just coloring for pleasure.  It took me longer to fuss over the layout of the card than it did to color Marci!  Speaking of that, the layout is a sketch from A Gem of A Challenge blog that posts monthly challenges. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing the new Marci, have a blessed Sunday!

With Faith All Things Are Possible

My card is  for today's Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown challenge, the challenge is to use embossing, heat or dry and use a die cut and a ribbon, kind of a recipe of sorts for your card.
 

I used Maya by La La Land Crafts, she's a rubber stamp and is available at the LLLC store here and there's a sale going on!  25% off!!  I added one little detail to her that she didn't come with, googlie eyes.  She's colored with mostly cool gray Copic markers and cut out with a Spellbinders die.  I embossed the card body with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and cut the scalloped border with a new MFT Stamps die.  The ribbon is a dotted organdy.  My sentiment stamp is by Papertrey Ink.  I tried to go pretty clean and simple for my card, I really enjoyed doing the last couple of white on white challenges I kind of had that on my mind while I was making this card.  Maybe it's more black and white with a pop of color?

Don't forget to go check out the Midweek Throwdown challenge over at Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps, I hope you'll play along!

Also there's a new challenge over at the Michelle Perkett Studio blog, it's Back To School and there's more stuff going on so you'll have to go check it out so you can read all about it!  Have you seen Michelle's  new Willow digital image yet?  She's gorgeous!

Ballerina Marci

I'd like to introduce you to Ballerina Marci drawn by Irina the owner of our La La Land Crafts!

Isn't she a cutie?!  She was available as a digital image for a very limited time and will be released and available  as a rubber stamp September 15th at La La Land Crafts. 

I colored my Marci with Copic markers and cut her out, she's attached to a Spellbinders large circle that was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  The layout is sketch #69 from Sweet Sunday Sketches, the patterned paper is Basic Grey Kioshi.  I added the flourishes made with Spellbinders dies after I'd set the card aside for awhile, it needed something else but I wasn't sure what at the time.  

Have a blessed Sunday!

La La Land Crafts Christmas

Are you ready for today's challenge over at La La Land Crafts?  The challenge is Christmas!  You can make a Christmas card and enter it into the challenge for a chance to win a prize!  

My card today was totally fun to make!  Most of La La Land Crafts stamps come in the form of rubber stamps but I didn't have anything Christmas that I hadn't used yet so Irina being the sweet person that she is sent me this Down the Slopes Rosie to play with.  

I colored Rosie with Copic markers and cut her out with an old Sizzix tag die.  It looked really WHITE so I was going to soften the edges with some Tim Holtz distress inks and the rest is history.  Distress inks are too fun NOT to spritz with a bottle of water so I did, then I just started playing in it.  Rosie looks like she went out sledding, the weather warmed up, the snow started to melt and it got a little muddy... 

The patterned papers are a what's left of a Stampin' Up! package I had, I cut a square and then two triangles from it and rolled the edges to make them a little distressed too.  I added "enchanced" rhinestones to the snowflakes I punched.  By enhanced I mean I colored them with a Copic marker and the "Tis The Season" stamp is by Papertrey Ink from the set Signature Christmas.

We have a NEW CHARACTER to share with you today!! Irina has been working hard (and enjoying every minute of it I'm sure) on her fabulous new line of stamps and she's decided to share a new stamp each week and have it available for one week only in the shop as a digi!! So far we've seen "Birthday Marci" and "Ballerina Marci" and you can see cards made with them by visiting Irina's blog HERE.

Introducing Pirate Luka!

Challenge day at La La Land Crafts!!

Are you ready for this weeks challenge over at La La Land Crafts?!

Maureen has challenged us to make a shaker card!  

It's been a very long time since I'd made a shaker card.  

I've really enjoyed being a guest design team member for La La Land Crafts, the challenges each week have gotten me to think more and more outside the box and I like that.

I made a Christmas card for today.  It's pretty simple in design the patterned paper is called Mistletoe by Memory Box.  It's so pretty I didn't want to cover it up with lots of layers or embellishments.  I colored Angel La La with Copic markers trying to match my paper.  I'm really happy with her hair color, red hair runs in my family so I'm rather partial to it!  I didn't get it but my oldest son has my Mom's copper red hair as do all my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.  Here are the marker colors I used for her hair: R22, R37, R46, R59, E37, E44 & E59.

I built the shaker part of the card with Spellbinders Oval Nestabilities, that took a little thought!  Filled it with some different size and shape white beads and hoped for the best.  I had to take it apart twice...  you really don't need a whole bunch of beads I found out. 

Maureen used Princess La La for her card so she's on sale at La La Land Crafts for 20% off through Tuesday.  You can find Angel La La there too!
Challenges for Angel La La:
Tuesday Taggers - Christmas In July
Tuesday Throwdown - Christmas In July 
Operation Write Home - Christmas In July 
Little Red Wagon - Christmas In July

Challenge day at La La Land Crafts!!

It's challenge day at La La Land Crafts, are you ready?!

The challenge:  Upcycle It!

The challenge is to take something that you would normally throw away and "upcycle" it into something fabulous to use on your card. It might be a bottlecap, or a colorful tag off of a new pair of pants, or a strip of old lace from that blouse that needs to go into the dustbin, or maybe even an earring that long ago lost it's partner. The idea is to look at everything we throw away in a new light!

I have two photos for you today, the first is of my finished card, "what it is", then I'm going to show you "what it was"!  

We get these magazines every Sunday at church and not only do I enjoy reading them cover to cover I find the artwork in them very inspiring.  I've been hanging on to a stack of them because I've wanted to use them for some of my cards.  Cheryl's challenge at La La Land Crafts this week was a perfect chance to get these out and play!   

I knew exactly the stamp I wanted to use for this project and pretty much had the layout in my head, I just needed to take the time and get it out of there...  

The stamp is La La In The Window from La La Land Crafts.  I used the colors in the magazine pages to determine my colors for La La's top and hair, she's colored with Copic markers.  The frame around her is made from two square Spellbinders dies.  I did use cardstock under the magazine page for stability.  I next covered a piece of white cardstock with the magazine page and started layering scalloped borders I'd cut from the magazine over each other and added a strip of magazine page at the top.  I popped the frame over La La using foam tape and attached the frame to my card.  I then added six Want2Scrap black half pearls to balance it and add just a little more visual interest.  The scalloped border die is made by Papertrey Ink.

I feel a weird need to keep cutting up the magazines and make something else, oh no...  

Now that you've heard my story you need to go visit La La Land Crafts challenge blog and see all of the awesome creations the rest of the design team came up with.  Then go find something in the trash to make something out of for the challenge, you know you want to?!

Did you notice the La La Land Crafts banner at the top of my page?  There's going to be a birthday party going on soon, I hope you'll join us!

One more thing... don't forget to check out Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps today for a new Midweek Throwdown Challenge.  If you like free digi images you're gonna love it!   We even have a prize sponsor this week...

Challenge day at La La Land Crafts

Are you ready for today's challenge over at La La Land Crafts?  

Lori has challenged us to make a card using black and white with a pop of color.  The pop of color from my understanding is to be one color and/or shades of one color, I hope I did this right!  

Right or not I had a really good time making my card!  

I thought La La with the rose would be perfect for this project, I imagined her rose to be the pop of color and I'm really liking BG11, 13 & 18 with black.  My La La is a digital image so I made her just the size I wanted  to fit into the Spellbinders Labels 10 die I wanted to use.  After coloring her, I used the Waltzing Mouse Vintage Labels 10 stamp set to stamp the dots around her then cut her out with the die.  I'm living dangerously, I know...  I should know better, I'm really disappointed when I mess one of those up too.  

After all that I looked through my pads of designer papers and found the perfect match to her rose, I just had to find some black or black and white pattered paper from my stash.  I used a sketch I'd saved from a Stamping Bella challenge in June and really like the way it all came together.  The black panel is embossed with a Papertrey Ink floral embossing plate and I made an insert for the envelope out of the leftover patterned paper using the Papertrey Ink die for that.  I love the look of an envelope with a liner, very fancy!

Lori used Bubble La La for her challenge card this week so she's 20% off this week at La La Land Crafts!

Challenges my card is entered into:
Crafty Hos' - Black White & ______
Penny's Paper Crafting Challenge - 7 of Something
Danni's Dreams - Layers

Stair Step Challenge @ La La Land Crafts

It's challenge day over at La La Land Crafts and the challenge is Stair Step cards!  This is my third challenge with them as a design team member and I must say I have been challenged!  I've never made a stair step card before so I went to Splitcoaststampers to see if I could find a tutorial and they had a good one by Beate Johns that I followed.  Folding and scoring the card was pretty easy, then I had to decide what next...  oh ya, that took me a couple of days. 

I had La La and Rosie all colored and ready to set in there but it looked so...  empty!  My friend Ami was over for bible study last Thursday evening and saw my attempt on the table and said, "ah, what's that?!", lol.  So I told her about the dilemma I was having.  As we sat there and talked about other stuff it just kind of all came together.  There was this old bottle of sand and tiny sea shells behind Ami's head on a shelf that caught my eye and the rest is history.  Ami had to leave before I really got going but she said she wants to see the end result when she's over again.  

La La and Rosie are colored with Copic markers and cut out.  Rosie's dress and headband are paper pieced.  I had the waves in place when Ami was here.  They are made from a scallop border die made by Papertrey Ink, I used the part you usually throw away and put the pieces through the Cuttlebug Swirls  embossing folder.  To get the sand and sea shells to stick I used rows of Scor Tape.  When I tipped the bottle I got shells and sand all at once and really liked the accidental arrangement.  Next they needed a sky line so I cut a scrap of white cardstock to 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and sponged Palette Seascape ink around a Cuttlebug cloud I'd cut from a die and kept moving around.  I thought it needed my little sunshine made with a Quickkutz die and yellow cardstock to finish the scene.  I'm happy with it, or at least I will be until I see what the other design team gals made!  

I'm happy to have it all made up, photographed and blogged about.  Would you believe Inky the cat had the audacity to step right in the middle of it?!  lol, have a good day!
