La-La Land Crafts October 2020 Club Kit Reveal

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.

Hey friends! It's the 15th which means the NEW La-La Land Crafts Club Kit is here! This month the critters are hedgehogs!!

Aren't those hedgehogs adorable?!?! I gave them chubby cheeks. Everything is cuter with chubby cheeks.

In the October Club Kit, there is an Apple Orchard Border Die. I love the border dies. If you cut them out in white you can color them in and give the appearance of a hand-drawn background...without having to decide what on earth to draw/color. Sometimes, that is the hardest part.

When you sign up for the La-La Land Crafts Club Kit, there are a few perks.

1) Each month every DT member does a tutorial just for Club Kit members.
2) There is a Facebook group just for Club members.
3) After the first month as a Club member, you can purchase past Club Kits at the Club Kit price! That's my favorite perk of all!

This month, I did my tutorial on the hedgehog card above.

My nine year old told me that Marci needed yellow boots. So, I obliged. Of course, I had to give her a matching sweater and hat.

I've been layering the insides of my cards. I like the extra stability it gives to them and the way it looks.

I decorated the inside too. When I show my husband the cards I make, he always opens the cards to see if there is anything on the inside. He once said "one time when I open a card there will be something on the inside. Now he will have something to look at! Lol.

La-La Land Crafts You Are One Smart Cookie

Hello! Happy Friday. I am hopping right back into crafting. It's been a busy week getting all these projects. I am enjoying the time in my craft room.

Today I am sharing a card for La-La Land Crafts Team Friday. Our theme this week is Critter Fun. La-La Land Crafts has LOTS of critters. The newest of which is a monkey! If you missed the monkey's debut, you can see him in my last blog post HERE.

I decided to pair Baker Luka with the adorable hamsters from the Eat More Cake Clear Stamp Set.

I have had Baker Luka colored and sitting on my craft table since he was released a few months ago. I knew exactly what I was going to do with him. I just needed the time and energy to make the card.

I used the Everything is Rosy Layering Stencil to create the patterned paper. Then I cut the center out with the Double Stitched Squares Die to create a frame.

I cut the Electric Mixer out using the Spring Has Sprung Paper Pack. The colors were not the right ones for this card so I colored over the patterned paper with Copic Markers. You can still see the pattern, which I love.

La-La Land Crafts Take Care of Yourself

Hello crafty friends! I cannot believe it's already Friday again. We have been busy remodeling a bathroom for my Great Aunt. She wanted a walk-in shower installed. Andrew did all the hard work. I got to do the fun stuff like painting.

This week at La-La Land Crafts, we are working with the May Release again. For some reason, I was thinking that Nurse Marcy was part of the release, but I was wrong. It's ok though. She works perfectly with the new dies that were released.

I wanted to put more depth into my images. So, I've been doing some reading on coloring with Copics. To achieve depth you use shadows. When I say shadows, I don't mean adding a darker shade of the color you are using. I'm talking about adding in cast shadows.

Definition of cast shadow: a shadow cast by an object or figure in a painting or other picture.

If you look closely at Nurse Marcy's hair, you can see a bluish, grey color. By adding in BV29, BV25, BV23 I was able to create shadows where the hair lays on top of other hair. Doing this makes Marcy's hair look fuller.

Have you seen the new papers?! I am so in love with them! So many beautiful floral patterns! I almost don't want to use them. Hahaha Are you like that? Do you have papers that you don't want to use? I'm going to have to buy another pack just to keep!

Below you will find a list of products and Copic markers that I used on this card.

Safe at Home with La-La Land Crafts

Good morning once again friends! Popping in to share more of the La-La Land Crafts New Release.

I had a lot of fun making this card. I used the NEW MASKING VINYL that coordinates with the NEW WINDOWS AND THINGS STAMP SET. I have not done a lot of masking so this was a learning experience for me. Turns out I LOVE masking!

Right now I am in love with pallet walls. Why am I telling you that? I tried to make it look like the inside of the house had a pallet wall. It turned out looking like the window was boarded up behind the curtains. I added some depth by adding BV29, BV27, BV25, and BV23 along the curtains and above the window sill.

I still wasn't happy. The window still looked boarded up. That led to hanging a picture on the wall. I think it made it look a little better. Still not 100% happy with it.

Have you seen the entire NEW RELEASE?

Lots of fun stuff! Make sure you pop on over to the La-La Land Crafts Blog to see what the rest of the DT made to inspire you.

Have an awesome weekend!

Black and White with La-La Land Crafts

Hello! Hello! Hello! Today is Friday! Which means it's time for inspiration from La-La Land Crafts.

The theme we were given this week was black and white. Easy peasy right?! Yeah, for me...not so much. I started out by making a book mark, but I didn't like it. Thankfully, my girls loved it and took it off my hands.

I decided to walk away and give it a little more thought. This is what I came up with...

I used the adorable Jaunty Luka Rubber Stamp. He looks like a little stud in his outfit.

I colored Jaunty Luka with Copic markers. I wasn't sure about the pattern I put on his clothes at first, but I think it's grown on me.

Here's a list of the La-La Land Crafts items that I used.

A & M Memories Splish and Splash Card

Hi everyone! Valentine's Day is over, and I am ready for Spring!

It looks like this little lady from A&M Memories, Puddle Jumper, is ready for spring too.

I colored Puddle Jumper with Copic markers. I decided to go with bright and cheery colors.

Hair: E29, E25, E11

Yellow: YR15, Y15, Y11

It's All About Love At La-La Land Crafts

It's inspiration Friday at La-La Land Crafts. We are celebrating LOVE today.

I made my card using Sitting Marci Rubber Stamp. She is so cute with her button nose. She kinda reminds me of my daughter Echo.

I colored Sitting Marci Rubber Stamp with Copic markers. After cutting the Lacy Heart for my card, I took one of the tiny hearts out and put it on Marci's face.

I made the pink flowers with the Rolled Rose Medium and Small Die Set. I love these flowers! They are super cute and so stinking easy to make.

I used the Open Leaf Flourish Die to accent the Rolled Roses. The Open Leaf Flourish Die was my very first La-La Land Crafts die. My very first La-La Land Crafts item ever, actually.

I used the Double Stitched Squares Die Set and the La-La Land Crafts Chipboard to create the shaker portion of the card. I simply cut 3 of the largest Double Stitched Squares out in Chipboard, cut one out in decorative paper (kept the center of the cut), and cut one out in white cardstock.

I glued together the 3 Chipboard cuts, adhered them on top of the decorative xoxo paper, dumped some micro beads in the center, covered the chipboard with clear cardstock and topped it off with the white cardstock frame. It may seem like a lot of steps, but it's actually very simple.

Isn't this Lacy Heart Die gorgeous! I love it. Each one of those tiny little hearts come out perfectly. I save them to use on different projects. They'd be perfect for a shaker.

Thank you all for stopping by for a visit. See you all again soon =)

Reneabouquets Beeutiful You Card

Hello crafty friends! I have a mixed media card to share with you today. It's made with Reneabouquets items, starting with the Blue Fern Wanderlust Paper Collection.
Blue Fern has the pretties papers!

After cutting and sizing the Blue Fern Wanderlust Papers, I distressed the edges and then inked them with Tim Holtz distress ink.

I have been wanting to work with these Queen Bee with Glass Wings since Renea put them in the store. I am so excited to finally have the chance.

These Queen Bee with Glass Wings have so much detail. I love the added touch of glitter.

Reneabouquets has the perfect embellishments to go with the Queen Bees. The Beautiful Board Medium Honey Bee Chipboard is gorgeous. I colored it with distress inks and distress markers. I also added Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits Mini Bee Hive to the card.

The sentiment is a stamp that I have in my stash. It fit the theme of my card perfectly.

I used the Honey Curly Roses Mulberry Paper Flower Set from Reneabouquets for the flower arrangements.

I made the honey from a mixture of Glossy Accents, and yellow and brown acrylic paint. I used a toothpick to put drops all over the card.

Thank you for popping in for a visit. Hope you have a craftastic day!

Reneabouquets Lavender Valentine's Day Card

Good morning friends! What have you been working on? I have have been working with the new romantic Printed Beautiful Board Large Lavender Lilac Heart Frame from Reneabouquets.

I am in awe over the card I put together with Reneabouquets items. I love the colors. It's one of those cards that just kinda fell together. I love it when that happens.
