Paper Nest Dolls Goth Family Christmas Card

 Hello friends! Are you ready for Christmas?!! All I have left to do is wrap the gifts. I make that sound like it's not much, but you know I will be doing that for hours. That's ok though...it's all a part of the fun. RIGHT?? 

On Halloween, I did a live on the Goth family from Paper Nest Dolls. If you were watching, I promised to make them into a Christmas card and share. It took me awhile to get to it, but here it is!! 


I am in love with it!! I know my mom is going to love it too. 

It was fun using an image that we usually think of as creepy or strange and using it for a Christmas card. 

The poinsetta is a FREE SVG that I found online. Here is the link to that...https://ginaccreates.com/mini-paper-christmas-poinsettia-free-svg/

If you missed that live, you can still go back and watch it on my Toadally Love to Craft Facebook page. Here is the link...https://www.facebook.com/ToadallyLoveToCraft/videos/1222739114766213 If you haven't already please like my page. This will alert you of future lives and other projects that I do.

La-La Land Crafts December Club Kit Reveal

Good afternoon friends! Only 10 more days until Christmas!! Do you know what you should give to yourself?!! A subscription to the La-La Land Crafts Club Kit!! It's only $39.99 a month (plus shipping) and it's something you can look forward to every single month! Let's face it, we all need a little happy mail. 

 With that being said...today is the reveal of the December 2020 Club Kit! It's all about knitting and crocheting. Oh! And kitties!! Who doesn't love kitties?


I love these kittens! So of course I chose to create with them for my first two club projects. 

These cuties are a bunch of trouble makers...getting into the yarn. I'm glad they are just stamps because if I was knitting they'd be driving me bonkers! 

As some of you already know, we foster kittens for our local no-kill animal shelter. Our shelter has the most loving employees and fosters. I know the animals there get the best care. 

Having kittens is a lot like having a baby. They get into everything. They demand your attention. They eat, poop, and sleep a lot. They love to snuggle! 

Ok, enough about that... let's get back to the cards! 

I started out by grabbing the paper. I almost never do that. I usually color and then choose my papers. I like to live on the dangerous side. 

Since the paper has gold accents, I went with a yellowish/gold yarn color. I wanted my kitten to have a lot of contrast from the yarn so black it was. He turned out looking a lot like our current foster kitten, Lucy.

Siamese kittens!! Siamese kittens are often favored by a lot of people. Which is why my next card has two of them. You can watch me color one of them on my Club Reveal video HERE


It took a lot of time to color all of these balls of yarn by hand, but I love the dimension and contrast you achieve by doing this. 

You've heard me say it before and you'll hear me say it again, it's the little details that make your card stand out. Details like hand-colored die cuts.

La-La Land Crafts NEW RELEASE Winter Wishes Marci Card

 Hi there! You may have seen that La-La Land Crafts is having a New Release. We finally get to see what's in the Winter Box! Well, you get to see it in the shop. Unfortunately, my DT package has been lost in the mail. So my projects only showcase the new stamps. 

It's ok though! The new stamps go well with old dies too! 

The first card that I made showcases Winter Wishes Marci. She is gorgeous! As are all of the new rubber stamps that were released. 


I got a tiny bit carried away filling my shaker with microbeads. To read the sentiment you have to swirl the beads around. 

The sentiment reads "sending warm hugs and lots of love." 

The background paper is from the New Home for Christmas Paper Pack. I love the colors in this paper pack! It's full of nontraditional Christmas colors. 

Fireplace Die is what I used for the bricks. I cut the fireplace apart and glued each brick to the background paper. 

Check out what this release includes!!!

3 New Clear Stamp Sets
New Stencil Set
New Background Stamp Set
6 New Red Rubber Stamps 
New Paper Pack
10 New Dies! 

So much crafty goodness! You can view all of the NEW products HERE. There are a lot of MUST HAVES! Start making that wish list for Chirstmas and send your family the link to La-La Land Crafts!! 

Since all of the Winter Boxes sold out during the preorder, La-La Land Crafts decided to add all of the contents to the shop for those that didn't get the box. 

The La-La Land Crafts Boxes are a really good deal. When the Boxes are listed for presale, the contents are kept a secret. BUT the price is always like half off of the retail value. The Boxes are always a huge hit. Totally worth the price. Even if you can't see what you are buying. 

Now that you've seen my card, head on over to the La-La Land Crafts blog and see what the rest of the DT made to inspire you. I promise you, there are some really fantastic projects!
