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.

On to my 4th and finial CHA project. Which just happens to me my favorite one!

Meet Jaunty Luka! Isn't he handsome?!?

I made a box card for Jaunty Luka. I filled it with lots of vintage die cuts from the new release. 



The books are old bibles. They belonged to my grandparents. They made the perfect props for this vintage box card.

My favorite thing about box cards is that it's a 3D card that will fold flat for mailing. 

Jaunty Luka is colored with Copic markers...

La La Land Crafts Fireman Luka Clean and Simple Card

Good morning! Popping in with a clean and simple card using the La La Land Crafts Fireman Luka Rubber Stamp.



Isn't HE the cutest!? Perfect for the clean and simple them we are creating with on the La La Land Crafts Blog.

I colored Fireman Luka  with Copic markers.

                                SKIN:

                                HAIR:

Uh oh! forgot to snap a picture of the clothes combo.
Clothes: E35, E33, E31

                                HAT:

                               HOSE:

                                WATER DROP:

I used burlap and colorless blender solution to create texture in Fireman Luka's clothes.
After coloring his hair, and skin, I colored the tan part of Fireman Luka's clothes and waited for the ink to dry. Once dry, I took a scrap piece of burlap and put some colorless blender on it and dabbed it on his clothes.

This is really a fun technique. You can do this with many other fabrics. Jeans, canvas...I've even used a beanie once. Give it a try. Remember not to soak your fabric with the colorless blender. It really doesn't take much to get the desired effect.

OOHHH!! I just had an idea! I will try it out before I tell you about it. I want to make sure it works before I tell you about it =)

Until next time, have a craftastic day!

La La Land Crafts Luka's Stocking

Merry Christmas everyone! I am so excited for Santa to come! My husband and I stay up late setting up the gifts and stockings. Then we go to bed and lay there talking about how excited we are and end up waking the kids up at 3 or 4 in the morning. 

In the spirit of Christmas, I made a stocking card for La La Land Crafts Friday inspiration. 

I used the Christmas Sweater Luka stamp. Which is just perfect for a stocking. 

I colored Christmas Sweater Luka with Copic markers

Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000

Hair: E29, E25, E11

Jeans: B99, B97, B95, B93

Stocking: R89, R29

Sweater, (tree, Y11, YG25 R29) Hat, and Boots: 110, C10, C7, C6, C5 

White Fluffy Parts: C3, C1, C000 and white gel pen

I love this Pretty Poinsetta die! It pairs perfectly with the Shabby Flourishes die. I cut the Shabby Flourishes into pieces and made a little leafy arrangement for the Pretty Poinsetta. 

The stocking is made from Mulberry paper. I love how it looks fluffy like a real stocking. The checkered fabric was in my scrap stash. 

This might just be my favorite Christmas card of the year! 

Christmas Sweater Luka is so stinking cute!
