Card Box Featuring Birthday Present Luka with La-La Land Crafts

 Happy Friday!   This week our theme is 3D and I have created a fun card box featuring featuring Birthday Present Luka Rubber Stamp.  

I stamped him on Copic Xpress It cardstock and cut with my Scan N Cut and colored with Copic Markers:

After creating my box, i  used the Hello Life Paper Pack, and coordinating cardstock to create my base for the box decoration. 

I cut various Balloon Dies, as well as streamers in different colors, then cut several of the Double Stitched Stars Dies, and several of the Three Candles DIes.

Next I cut the Happy Stitched Die and then stamped the Birthday from the Absolutely Perfect Clear Stamp Set on the Hello Life Paper Pack and added over the bottom of the Happy Stitched Die.  

I added the Stitched Chevron Die behind Luka and then popped Luka up with some foam tape.   

I love how this turned out and hope you enjoyed.

Crafty Marci from Club La-La Land Crafts May 2021 Kit

Happy Tuesday!   Today I am back with a bit more inspiration featuring the May 2021 Club La-La Land Crafts Kit.     May 31st is the last day to join and start with this kit so there is still time to join.

To start off today I have a gift card holder featuring Crafty Marci.

I used the Curved Pocket Die as well as the Large Stitched Tags Die to create my gift card holder.   

I stamped Marci on Copic Xpress It cardstock and colored with Copics:

Copics:

E00, E11, E21, R20

E11, E13, E15, E18

V04, V05, V06, V09

BG10, BG13, BG15, BG18

White Gel Pen

I added some foam tape behind Marci and added her to the front of the pocket.

I used the same V and BG markers for my pencil and paint brush dies, and added one to each side.   I added my sentiment with a bit more foam tape and inked the edges with Dusty Concord Distress Oxide.

Next, inspired by fellow Design Team member, Cheryl Luu, I decided to play a bit in my Plum Paper Planner.  I usually only decorate in my planner with stickers bought, or printables and cut out by me, but weekly I see her fun planner spreads featuring stencils, dies and stamps and decided to try my hand at it.

I started by using the Everything is Rosy Layering Stencil- in the checked one- with Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide.   I inked in random spots, leaving some areas white.  

Next I stamped my mice from the Makers Gonna Make Rubber Stamp Set on Copic Xpress It Cardstock, and colored with Copic Markers.

N1, N3, N5, N7, R20

V04, V05, V06, V09

E31, E35

BG10, BG13, BG15, BG18

White Gel Pen

I colored the pencil and paint brush with my same V's and BG's as used above.

I die cut the roll of tape die, and colored with N1- wanting to give it a bit of color.   

Next I die cut the Ink Pad Die and colored with my V's as above.    I added a sentiment on top of the Ink Pad Die Cut.

I cut the second from the largest Scalloped Rectangles Dies, and Inked with Rose Gold Metallic Ink from Spectrum Noir and added to my page with a mini paperclip.   

I added one of my mice to the card, and now I have a card I can move week after week and add notes that I need in the future.

Sky's the Limit with The Cat's Pajamas

 Hey everyone!   I'm back with another fun card featuring one of the new digis from The Cat's Pajamas - Sky's the Limit.  I just love this character and was so excited to use him for a card.

I printed the image on Copic Xpress It Cardstock and cut out with my Scan N Cut.  I colored with Copic Markers:

Bunny: N1, N3, N5, N7, R20

Balloon: B00, B02, B12, RV55 White Gel Pen, Gold Gel Pen

Basket: E11, E13, E15, E18, RV06, RV55, RV66

I used the Going Round and Round Die (I believe this is no longer available as of the time of the post- as we are going all digital) to create my circle and scalloped border.   I used black cardstock, blue and pink cardstock from Simon Says Stamp, and pattern paper from the Mintay Happy Place 6 x 6 Paper Pad.

I created a standard A2 Sized card and then sized each layer down by 1/4".

After creating my layers, I inked everything with Lawn Fawn, Black Licorice Ink.   I love layers and I love inking so this card was definitely a fun one for me.

I popped my circle behind my bunny and hot air balloon up with foam tape, and before adding my image, added a strip to add some more layering and break up the pink a bit.

Next I added the image with foam tape, creating a bit more dimension to the card.   I used the Stitched Squares and More Die for the banner flags at the top left, and the Arrows Dies in pink and black add the perfect embellishments to the card.

Next I added some enamel dots and crystals to the corners of the card, and some crystals to the hot air balloon.

Lastly, I added my sentiment to the strip behind the image.

I love how this card turned out and hope you do too!  I would love to hear your thoughts!

Until next time,

Angela

Marci in Tunic Dress with La-La Land Crafts

 Happy Friday!   Today I am back with another fun card from La-La Land Crafts.   This week our theme is Anything Goes and I was so excited to play with this image that was released last Fall.

I used black glitter cardstock from my scrap bin to cut the Asian Landscape Border Die. Next I used the A Pocket Full Clear Stamp set for my sentiment and stamped on one of the Rectangles from the Curved Pocket Die.

My Boy Toby with Cut Cardstock

Hey everyone!  I am back with another fun scrapbook page! This month at Cut Cardstock we are featuring Basis Cardstock This month, one of our themes is masculine. When I think of Masculine- I see reds, blues, and browns. As I was going through my pattern paper and photos to coordinate, I came across this adorable photo of my 12 year old Pomchi Toby. 

My husband and I adopted Toby when he was 3 months old, just a few months after we got married and he as been Mr. Faithful over the years (and is so patient with our 3 year old – very playful and sassy Rat Terrier. I then found this pattern paper from Authentique and figured the colors would be perfect to bring across our masculine theme.

To start I cut a piece of Brown Basis Cardstock at 8″ x 8″. Next I cut a piece of Dark Red Basis Cardstock at 7 3/4″ x 7 3/4″. These 2 pieces make our base. I scrapbook in all sizes, but lately am drawn to the 8″ x 8″ layouts for some reason.

Next I inked the edges of my cardstock with Brown Ink.

Next I adhered the 2 layers together. I typically use a tape runner like Tombow Mono Adhesive, but you could also use wet glue, or double sided tape.

Next I cut additional pieces of pattern and cardstock- additional cardstock used- Aqua Basis Cardstock,- 8″ x 4″and Teal Basis Cardstock– 8″ x 3″ and my pattern strips are 8″ x 5″ and 8″ x 2 1/2″.

Next I inked my strips. You don’t gave to do the ink the edges, but I love the look of the distressing on the layers.

Once everything was inked I layered all of my strips to create my layout base. I love the mix of the stripes and the pawprints. I love to combine patterns- but I will usually break up between with solid cardstock.

Next I cut some various dies- Circles from Stamp Anniething. Tags and clipboard die from La-La Land Crafts. In the end I did not use the circle tag, but just stashed away for another day. I inked the edges of my dies with the same ink.

Next I cut my photo at 4″ x 4 3/4″ and the mat at 4 1/4″ x 5″, as well as a quote card at 3″ x 3″ and the mat at 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″, and then inked those mats and the quote card.

And can I add- how cute is this boy??

Next I added my tag to the layout tucking under my panels, and then added the clipboard tucked in as well.

I played a bit with my photo and quote card a bit as I wasn’t sure how I wanted to arrange- or if I wanted straight or wonky- but settled on straight.

Next I added some letter stickers that I found in my stash- making my title to the page. I also added a bit of red polkadot ribbon to the tag- along with the die that goes top of the tag. You could use white or brown floss to tie the ribbon at the top of the tag, but today for this page I brought out my Tim Holtz attacher and added a few little staples.

I decided to add the other tag to the right, hanging off slightly. If you were going to put in an 8″ x 8″ protector, you would not want hanging off, but for this page I am actually going to add to a larger shadow box so the overhang wasn’t an issue.

I hope that you enjoyed this scrapbook layout as much as I had fun creating it. I may be a bit partial to the dog in the photo but he’s pretty adorable! Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Until next time my friends,

Angela

Free Spirit Marci from La-La Land Crafts

 Happy Friday!   The design team is still having some fun with the April 2021 New Release from La-La Land Crafts.  This week I wanted to play with Free Spirit Marci.

I stamped Marci on Copic Xpress It Cardstock and colored with Copic Markers:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E93, R20, BV20
Hair: BV20, BV23, BV25, BV29, Black
Dress and shoes: R11, R22, R32, RV14, RV42, YR02, YR15, Y17, Y38
White Gel Pen

I used a sketch from Cristena Bagne's book Inspired by the Sketch and did my take on the sketch below.

I used one of the Zigzag Dies with coordinating cardstock  to be my middle piece and tie my colors together.  

I used the Linked Squares Die behind Marci and the Long Flags Die for my Sentiment.

I added some Doodlebug Beetle Black Assorted Jewels to the card, and inked the edges of pattern paper and my sentiment with Midnight Ink from Catherine Pooler.

I love how this turned out and hope you enjoyed.
