Black, White and another color with La-La Land Crafts

 Happy Monday all!   Today I am back with another Inspiration Monday post.  This week we are using the colors Black and White and another color (of our choice).   Since my favorite color is Purple, and Halloween is less than a week away- I just knew I needed a Halloween card, with my added color of Purple.


I stamped Witch Marci Rubber Stamp on Neenah Solar White Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, and cut her with my Scan N Cut.

I colored her with Spectrum Noir Illustrators:

Skin: BG1, BG3, BG5, BG7, BG9
Hat, Dress, Stockings and shoes : CG1, CG3, CG5, CG7, CG9, PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4, White Gel Pen
Hair: PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4, Hair ties- BG1, BG3
Broom: BG1, BG3, BG5, PL1, PL3



I used some black and white patterns from the Love You More Paper Pack from La-La Land Crafts.





I used both the Pierced Scalloped Circles Dies as well as the Stitched Nested Circles Dies with glitter cardstock in Black and Purple.  I used the same glitter cardstock with the Cobweb Die and cut them down the middle and then layered the purple and the black.

I used the Cauldron from the Halloween House Add on Die, with the same Purple Cardstock. 


I then took some purple and white enamel dots and made them look like they were coming up from the cauldron.   I also added to a few other places on the card.



Lastly I used the Stitched Pennants Die to cut the sentiment out, along with the same Purple glitter cardstock.

Cozy Mona with La-La Land Crafts

 Happy Monday!   Today Team Monday is back with a Fall Theme.

There are so many awesome products in the La-La Land Crafts shop that can be used for a Fall Themed card.  I chose Cozy Mona.   Fall is one of my favorite seasons- I love long sweaters, tall boots and cozy leggings or jeggings.







I stamped Mona with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Classic Crest Cardstock and then cut with my Scan N Cut.

I colored her with Spectrum Noir Illustrators:

Skin: FS2, FS6, FS7, FS8, DP1
Hair: TN1, TN3, TN5, TN7, TN9
Sweater: BT1, BT3, BT5, BT7, Colorless Blender and piece of terry cloth bath towel to achieve fleece like look
Shirt: BG1, BG3, BG5, BG7
Jeans: TB1, TB3, TB5, TB7, TB9 Colorless blender and piece of denim for jeans look
Boots: MB1, MB3, M4
White Gel Pen

I used the Daisies on My Mind Stencil, on both the Double Stitched Square die with Spectrum Noir Ink Lagoon and the Double Stitched Rectangles with Spectrum Noir Bordeaux Ink.


I used Colorless Blender and a piece of an old terry cloth bath towel to create a fleece look.

I wanted to try to replicate one of my favorite fleece sweaters and love how it turned out.   

I used colorless blender and a piece of demin on the jeans to add a bit of denim texture to her pants.



I used the Jingle Bells Wreath minus the bells to create a fall look.


I cut the sentiment with the Large Nested Frames die, and then inked with the same Bordeaux ink pad.

I used the Lets Get Inky 6 x 6 paper pack and the new Scalloped Square Die for the base of my square layer.

I used the Halloween House Add on Die- for the trees and the pumpkins.

I pulled the barn from the May 2020 La-La Land Crafts Club Kit as I saw an old spooky barn in my head.  I even added one door slightly wonky to give the look of old and dilapidated.




I used the Double Stitched Hills Border Die to create my hills.


I added the Spooky Fence die behind my Frenchie.  


I used the Long Flags Die to do the sentiment.  I added a few enamel dots to the side.


Lastly I used the Boo Die with Black and Purple Glitter Paper.
