La-La Land Crafts November 2020 Club Kit Reveal

 Hey friends! Back with my second post for today. The La-La Land Crafts Club Kit reveal! I know you have been anxiously awaiting this kit. The La-La Land Crafts Virtual Retreat set the release back a few days. 

Here is the first card that I made...


The dies that come in this kit create the perfect little village. And how about those bears!? They are so freaking cute! I added eyelashes to the one above to make her look a little more feminine. Little details like eyelashes can make a very big impact on the way your image looks. It's the little details that matter the most. 

I wanted to color Marci's coat to look like one of those puffy coats. I'm not sure I achieved that, but I do love how it turned out. I used E44, E43, E42, E41 and E40 to color it. I think the E40's have become my favorite brown combonation. The E40's are the colors I used on the bear as well.

La-La Land Crafts Tag

 Hi friends! Today is a busy day for my blog! I have the La-La Land Crafts November 2020 Club Kit reveal and my La-La Land Crafts Friday inspiration project. 

The theme for our Friday inspiration project is tags. I know a lot of people really enjoy making tags. I however am not a fan. They just never seem to turn out good for me. 


Although the tag I made is super simple, I do like how it turned out. It looks clean. I really like that. 

I put a pocket on the tag to make it a gift cardholder. More than likely one of my girls will find this in their stocking on Christmas morning. 

I'm not sure why Winter Molli looks like she has a skin disorder. Hahaha...she doesn't look like that in real life. 

Below you will find a  list of all the La-La Land Crafts products that I used and a list of all the Copic markers used.

Marker Plans- Sweet Sentiment

 Hello friends! Today I am sharing a couple of cards made from a NEW Sweet Sentiment stamp set. The stamp set is called Marker Plans

When Jammie Clark, the owner of Sweet Sentiment, asked me to create with her new stamp set, I was super excited. The images look just like Jammie. I think she's super cute. I actually got to me Jammie at the Flordia Paper Nest Dolls retreat in September. She is a lot of fun. 


Take a look at the stamp set. 


Super cute, right!?

For the first card that I made, I used the single marker stamp to create a marker paper. The patterned background paper looked like marker flicks to me. So the marker paper coordinated perfectly. 


This card really took me a long time. To be honest, as I was putting it together, I was not liking it at all. Once I finished it, I walked away. When I came back to it the next day, it wasn't as bad as I had thought. It's still not my favorite, but I do like it. 

The second card I made was a lot easier for me. I love the colors. 

I know a lot of you will like it too. Simply because it's coffee themed =)


The images were colored with Copic markers and all of the dies that I used are from La-La Land Crafts. 

Sweet Sentiment carries a variety of crafting supplies. Cardstock for coloring with markers, colored pencils, and/or watercolors. They have some really cool stencils too. Recently, they added Copic markers and refills to the list of things they sell.

La-La Land Crafts Dear Santa I Can Explain Card

For your convenience, I have placed links to the products used in this post. These links are affiliate links which means I receive credit for the products purchased (at no cost to you) when they are used. 

Hi everyone! Can you believe that Christmas is only a month and a half away?! I'm so not ready. I haven't made many cards, I haven't done any shopping, heck, I don't even know what I want to buy. I guess I'd better start thinking CHRISTMAS! 

This week, the La-La Land Crafts design team was given the theme of Naughty or Nice. In other words, Christmas. 


I love making cards with Luka. He is my favorite La-La Land Crafts character. I always get super excited when a new Luka is released. 

I wanted my card to have a vintage feel to it, so I distressed the sides of the cardstock and inked the edges. I haven't made a card like this in a long time. I used to make a ton of them when I was on the Renea Bouquets design team. A lot of her products scream vintage. 

Like usual, the card has lots of depth and layers. Foam tape is your best friend when creating layers! 

I used a ton of La-La Land Crafts products. Here's a list...

Christmas Sweater Luka Rubber Stamp
Dear Santa Clear Stamp
Little Merry Christmas Paper Pack
Two Trees Die
Three Christmas Trees Die
Double Stitched Hills Border Die
Wreath With Bow Die
Filigree Reindeer 1 Die
Small Lacy Border Die

La-La Land Crafts October 2020 Club Kit Inspiration

Hi everyone! I have been playing with the La-La Land Crafts October 2020 Club Kit again. 

I know I have said it before, but I love these Club Kits!!  The stamps are always adorable and the dies are so cool. 

When the October 2020 Club Kit was released, I colored the Apple Die in my reveal video. (You can find that on my YouTube) I love the Apple Die so much! It's definitely my favorite die in this kit. 

To create the tree, I used the Double Stitched Hills Border Die and the October 2020 Club Kit Apple Orchard Die. Using the Double Stitched Hills Border Die was an idea I got from one of my teammates...Jo. She actually used it as a stem and used the leaf in the Apple Die set to make a sunflower. The Apple Pie Die was the center of the flower. FREAKING GENIUS!!! I love the creativity that my teammates have!

La-La Land Crafts Farm Fresh Z Pop-Up Card

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! I have a new type of card to share with you today. It's called a  Z Box Pop-Up Card. I had not seen one of these cards before. I found the Z Box Pop-Up Card on the Split Coast Stampers Blog. It was perfect for the La-La Land Crafts 3D theme. 

I used the Comfy Sweater Marci that I colored recently for the Thursday Tutorial. You can find that video HERE.


The card lays flat for mailing. 


Here's a look at it laying out flat. SO many die cuts to color!! This card was really a labor of love. It took a long time to make, but I love how it turned out! 


The barn and the truck dies are from the May 2020 Club Kit.
