La-La Land Crafts Use New Release - Gnomes

Hello! Hello! Hello! 

Is it me, or are the weeks just flying by? I mean, It's already the end of March! 

This week the La-La Land Crafts Dt is working with the new release again. This time I chose to work with the Clear Stamp Set Best Gnomies.


I am in love with the woodland scene that I was able to create using La-La Land Crafts dies. A gnome just looks at home in the woods. 

I love being in the woods. I love the smells. I love the sounds. I love the animals. I love how peaceful and relaxing it is. 

I colored the gnome, the Mushroom and Grass Border Die, and the twig from the Stump with Twig Die with Copic markers. You will find the color combinations below. 

Copic markers
Skin: E11, E00, E000, E0000
Beard: W6, W3, W1
Hat: C00, C1, R89, R29
Shirt: YR15, Y15, Y11

La-La Land Crafts Use New Release

Good morning! Today is La-La Land Crafts team Friday's time to shine. This week we are creating with the NEW RELEASE


I chose an image that I have not worked with yet, Spa Marci Rubber Stamp. I am thinking that I need a spa day like Marci. Surely before open toe season! I like to have pretty toes =)

I colored Spa Marci with Copic markers. The skin tone is just a tad different then what I usually use. I added E15, and E13. I found that blending the E04 was a little easier using the two extra markers. 

Copic markers used...
Skin: E04, E15, E13, E11, E00, E000, E0000, E93, R30
Hair: E35, E33, YR23, Y21
Wood: E29, E25, E31, W3
Bubbles: BG11, B0000, RV00, V000
Lou fa: RV19, RV17, R85, R83, R81
Bath Gel Tube: Y15, Y11, C3, 
Towels: V09, V15, V17
Nail Polish: YR02, YR01, YR000, C10, C8, C6

The papers that I used have been in my stash for awhile now. They came from in a magazine that I bought. I love the colors and different patterns. 

Copic markers YR02, YR01, YR0000 was the combination I used to shade the die cuts and give them a little depth. This color combo matched the papers perfectly. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a craftastic weekend!

Reneabouquets Shaker Card

Good morning friends! I have a Reneabouquets shaker card to share with you today. If you haven't tried one of these new shaker boxes, you should! 


They are so easy to put together! Another thing that I love about Renea's shaker box is that there is plenty of space so the shaker pieces move freely. 

The image is from Saturated Canary. This was one of my favorite places to get digi stamps. Unfortunately, the artist does not sell many of her stamps anymore. I collected several of her images while her shop was open. This one, I colored well over a year ago. I have a bunch of images that are already colored. From time to time I will look through them and grab one for a card. 


Images that I really like get put on a card with Reneabouquets products. Because they make the most gorgeous cards!

La-La Land Crafts New Release Relax Unwind Clear Stamp Set

Good morning! I'm back with my second project for the La-La Land Crafts new release. This project was made using the Relax Unwind Clear Stamp Set. The critters in this set are adorable! 


This card was super simple to make. I found two different patterned papers, cut them down to the size I wanted and then matted them with a coordinating solid cardstock. Then adhered them to the card base. I cut a coordinating rectangle and adhered it to the patterned paper as shown.

I stamped the image with Memento ink (works well with Copic markers) and then colored the stamp with Copics. Then I fussy cut the image.

I cut two stitched circles using the same size die. On the white circle, I cut along the stitches to make it a tad smaller. I adhered the circles together, white one on the top. Then I adhered the image to the circles and put the circles on the card using foam squares for a little added dimension.

 Finally, I cut one set of Candles, one Enjoy and one Spa Set and attached the die cuts as shown.

La-La Land Crafts items used...

La-La Land Crafts March 2019 New Release

Good morning friends! La-La Land Crafts is having ANOTHER new release! I just love how often they put out new stamps and dies! 

So, for the next three days, you will be seeing a post from me and the rest of team Friday. Get your cuppa and get ready for some inspiration! 


The first new stamp set that I worked with for the new release is Hippos in Paradise Clear Stamp Set. These hippos are so cute! The fact that they are on the beach make them even better. The beach is my favorite place ever! 

I started out by coloring the scenery and then moved on to the hippo. Copic markers was my choice of medium. You will find all of the markers that I used listed below. 

 My Anchor Background Set was used to create the pattern on the swimming trunks and the patterned background paper. La-La Land Crafts has several Background Stamps now. I am excited to see this section expand. 

I used several dies on this card (listed below). I am finding that I really like to cut white dies and color them with my Copic markers. It really changes the way they look. 


Stamps:

Copic markers
Flowers: R29, R24, R32, R0000
Hippo: W6, W3, W1, R30, 
Shorts: R29, R24, R32
Beach: E35, E33, E31
Water: B16, B14, B12, BG45, BG53, BG11

Take a look at the entire NEW RELEASE! So much cuteness! 


That's it for now. I will see you again tomorrow!

La-La Land Crafts Darling Molli with Sloth

Good morning! How are you this fine Friday? I am good! Excited to be teaching my second coloring class today.

We are on our third week of using the new release for La-La Land Crafts. I decided to put one of the new sloths with one of my favorite older stamps, Darling Molli. Don't they look adorable together?!?


I've used the new heart stencil behind the images. I very lightly inked the paper with distress inks. OH! I need to try this stencil with embossing powder! I bet it would look amazing! 


I have tried different color combos for the sloths. I think this one is my favorite. You can find the colors I used listed below.

Reneabouquets Pegasus

Good morning! I am excited to share today's project with you! A magical mixed media Pegasus. 


My daughter, Echo, just had to have this Pegasus. So, we bought it. She immediately started working on it. She got as far as coloring eyes on it and part of the tail. Then it sat in my craft room for six months. I finally asked her if I could decorate it for her. She was super excited about that. 

I started by putting a few coats of gesso on it. Echo had colored on the Pegasus with Sharpies. The color just kept soaking through the gesso. I decided that I wasn't going to fight that after about 4 coats of gesso. Thankfully, the dark colors did lighten quite a bit. 


Once the gesso was dry, I went crazy adding flowers. You know I love me some Reneabouquet flowers! 


Next, I added the Beautiful Board Heart Bits, Skeleton Leaf Bits, and the Small Butterfly Flourish. Then it was time to add a little texture to the wings and hooves. I first put down a layer of Mod Podge and then sprinkled it with Teal Glass Microbeads. After the first layer of microbeads was dry, I added another layer. 


More drying time! This is the worst part. I am so impatient! 


Once the Mod Podge and microbeads were set, I gave the entire Pegasus one more coat of gesso. After that was dry, I added the butterflies and the Beautiful Beads Unicorn Candy Iridescent Pearls.

La-La Land Crafts Sloth Card

Hello there! Happy Friday! We are working with the new release from La-La Land Crafts again this week. Of course, I am happy to use this adorable Sloth Set again!


I was able to make both of my background papers using items from the new release. One with the Hearts Harlequin Layering Stencils and the other using the coffee ring stamp in the Java Nice Day Clear Stamp Set.


I used distress ink to stamp the coffee ring and then smeared the ink around with water and a paint brush. After that, I dripped ink on the paper and then dripped water on top of that. I then took a paper and soaked up the extra water and ink. I set the paper aside and worked on something else until the paper was dry. 


La-La Land Crafts items used..

Stamps:
Take it Sloth Clear Stamp Set
Java Nice Day Clear Stamp Set

Stencil
