Birthday Cake Marci from La-La Land Crafts



I am back with another celebration card, this one is Birthday Cake Marci from La-La Land Crafts.  I have the digi stamp version which looks like she is unavailable in the digi version but is available in rubber here.








I colored her with Spectrum Noir Illustrators:

FS2, FS6, FS7, FS8, DP1
IG2, IG4, IG6 True Black
GT1, GT2, GT3
GY1, GY3, GY4
AP2, AP4
BG2, BG4

White Gel Pen

I created a sequin effect on her dress and colored the cake to coordinate as I had the pattern paper (from Simple Stories) picked out and wanted it to match.




I used some party dies from Recollections for the banner, Party time speech bubble and party hats.   I added a lace border die from Crafter's Companion and also the CC Designs Inside/Outside dies which I used for the frames.  A few paper doilies added the finishing touches along with a few coordinating sequins.





I hope you enjoyed this fun card.

See you soon!

Lucy Vitameta-Vegamin from Simply B Stamps

I colored her with Spectrum Noir Illustator markers.  

Colors:

FS2, FS6, FS7, FS8
MG2, MG4, 
PP4, PP6
BG2, BG4
TN1, TN3, TN5
AB1, AB3



I used the Stamp Doctor Circle dies for the base and cut pattern paper from Authentique from my stash. 


I added some mini pearl embellishments to her necklace and earring and some enamel dots to the sentiment strip. 

I added a vial (of glitter) to the bottom- my concoction or the Vitameta-Vegamin so to say.


I hope you enjoyed!  

See you soon!



Marci with Headphones from La-La Land Crafts

Happy Monday!

Today I am back with another fun digi from La-La Land Crafts- Marci with Headphones (she is also available in Rubber stamp).




As with most of my cards, I picked out my paper first then based my colors on that.  I knew I wanted fun patterns and bright colors so when I found this Pink and Main 6 nx 6 paper pad I knew it was perfect.

I printed her on Neenah Classic Crest card from Crafter's Companion, then cut out with my Scan N Cut machine.

I colored her with my Spectrum Noir Illustrators

FS2, FS6, FS7, FS8, DP1
DG1, DG2, DG3
AP1, AP2, AP3
MG2, MG4, MG5
EB1, EB4, EB7



I used the Pierced Scallop Dies from La La Land Crafts and the mailbox die from the January Club La-La Land Crafts.   I cut just the top off and used it to be like a tab.  I used the hearts from it to add to my banner and card.  Don't ever be afraid to re-purpose a die which adds to the versatility.



Cardstock was from my stash, and some enamel dots added the finishing touches.

I hope you enjoyed! 

See you very soon!

Fabulous Marci from La-La Land Crafts

Happy Friday and Valentine's Day!   I have been on a mission- one card a day and so far I have succeeded!  Today I share another fun digi-  Fabulous Marci from La-La Land Crafts.  



I printed Marci on Neenah Classic Crest Card Pack from Crafter's Companion.
I then cut her out with my Scan N Cut machine.

Colors used:

PP2, PP4, PP6
GT1, GT2, GT3
FS2, FS6, FS7, FS8

I paper pieced the dress.   You can paper piece even with a digi.  I printed a second copy and used it as a template, traced and fussy cut.

I used Mintay 6 x 6 Love Letters Paper pad and a few pieces of cardstock from Doodlebug.


I distressed the edges and added a bit of ink to create a shabby chic look.   I added some lace and a paper doily.  I used a few Crafter's Companion Vintage Lace foliage dies and added some gems from my stash.   


I hope you enjoyed!  

See you soon!

Heart Garland Marci from La-La Land Crafts


Today I am back with a card featuring Heart Garland Marci from La- La Land Crafts.  I just had to get one more Valentine's card done this week!



I printed this digi on Neenah Classic Crest Card Pack A4 Solar White cardstock.

FS2, FS6, FS7, FS8

My ultimate goal for her dress was to look like red velvet so I went for a darker blend





I used pattern paper and cardstock from my stash, and added enamel dots from my stash.   I used the Pierced Scallop Oval die to put behind her in a coordinating cardstock to match the teals in her dress, shoes and banner.  



I added a Love die from Hero Arts, and some pierced hearts from Sizzix.
I popped Marci up with a bit of foam tape.

I added a red Doodlebug paper doily from my stash to add a bit more frill to the card. 

A few enamel dots added the finishing touches
  

Hope you enjoyed!

Hilarious Cupid from The Paper Shelter


Today I am back with a fun Valentine's card featuring Hilarious Cupid from The Paper Shelter. 







I colored this adorable image with my Spectrum Noir Illustrators:

FS2, FS6, FS7, FS8
DR2, DR4, DR7
IG2, IG4, IG5, IG7, True Black
BG2, BG4, BG7
IB1
Colorless Blender

I added a few highlights on the glasses with a white gel pen.

I cut the image out with my scan and cut and decided I wanted a bit of a border on him so I increased it a little.  

I used pattern paper and cardstock from my stash, and added enamel dots from Doodlebug- Lady Bug in Glitter Dots.

I used the envelopes border die that I received in my Club La-La Land Crafts kit this month, and some Sizzix Nestabilities Heart dies so add a bit more to my card.

I decided to omit a sentiment for now as I will most likely give to my hubby for Valentine's Day and am not sure if I want something funny and snarky (after 15 years I can go funny) or sweet and romantic.  


I absolutely love how this one turned out.   

Hope you enjoyed! 

See you soon!
