Fun Easter Tag with La-La Land Crafts

Hello everyone! Welcome to Tutorial Thursday!

ANGELA here with you today to share a tutorial with you!

Today's tutorial is:  FUN EASTER TAG

I wanted a fun tag to include with some cookies for my neighbors, so I decided some of the newest products from the March 2021 New Release would be perfect.  I will be honest and say that (as funny as it may sound) sometimes tags intimidate me.   Will it be too busy?  Will it be too plain?   I decided that they shouldn't intimidate me and to just go for it.

SPECTRUM NOIR COLORS

Bunny: IG1, IG3, IG5, PP3, White Gel Pen

Egg: AB1, AB2, AB3

PAPER CUTS & SCORING

This tag is done with all die cutting- for the most part I used scraps of my pattern paper and cardstock so its a fun- and easy tag- no measurements to remember!

~ now for the tutorial you have been waiting for ~ 

I started by picking my paper and die cutting everything for easy assembly.

Once everything was cut I decided to ink the edges of my papers to match the blue theme.  I used Distress Oxide in Peacock Feathers but you could use any ink (or color) or even skip this step.

Next I added my Stitched Zigzag Dies to the tag.   I had done in coordinating colors and placed just a bit apart from eachother.

I adhered my circles together, and added to the tag with some foam tape.  I also added the tag top piece to the tag.

I had cut my Happy Easter Die with both White and Yellow Cardstock and layered the two together.   I then added a bit of ink to the white.  I then layered my Easter Egg Dies towards the bottom of the tag.

Next I added my bunny from the Oh, Crop! Clear Stamp set with a bit of foam tape behind.

My last touch to the tag is a bit of jute type string tied in a bow at the top.

I hope you enjoyed this tag as much as I do!

We hope that you are inspired to try out your own creation with the amazing stamps and dies from La-La Land Crafts!

Oh, Crop!

 Hey everyone, happiest of Tuesday's to you.   Today I am back with Day 4 of the March 2021 New Release Showcase from La-La Land Crafts.   Today I am showcasing the newest clear stamp set Oh, Crop! As well as the Happy Easter Die and the Build-A-Bunny-Die as well as the Double Stitched Eggs Die.  

The minute I saw the Double Stitched Eggs Die set and the Build-A-Bunny Die I knew that I needed to have a Bunny behind sticking out of tree- as if the bunny is going down into the tree and I absolutely love how it turned out.    

I used the Happy Easter Die with the Hello Baby Paper Pack as well as white cardstock with the Happy Easter Die.    I assembled my bunny behind, and colored with Spectrum Noir- the pads on the feet.   I lightly inked with Pumice Stone Distress Oxide.

Next I used the Wood Planks Clear Stamp Set to create my tree look- with Icing on the Cake Ink - from Catherine Pooler.    I used the Double Stitched Circles Die to create my hole in the tree and did my sentiment bar with the Double Stitched Rectangles Die- just got creative to make a bit smaller cutting over and over and layering.

I stamped my Bunny from the Oh, Crop! Clear Stamp Set and colored with Spectrum Noir.    I then added him to the bottom of the card.   Lastly I added a few dew drops to the card. 

Bunny: BG1, BG3, BG5, BG7, BG9, PP1, PP3, White Gel Pen

Egg and Bunny Feet: PP1, PP2, PP3, PP4, PP5, White Gel Pen

Poultry in Motion - Interactive card with La-La Land Crafts

Happy Monday!   Today I am back with a fun interactive card featuring Poultry in Motion and Best of Cluck from La-La Land Crafts.

I created a slider card, which allows the cute little chicks to move along the grass.   

   

I thought it would be cute to have the Rooster in front of the gate.... the chicks are cute- but maybe a bit mischievous or playful so maybe he is taking a break from the kids.

I used the Grass Border Die as well as the Grass Patches Die to create the scene with the grass- and hide my slider system.

Spectrum Noir:

Chicks: CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, OR1, OR3

Bows: BP1, BP3, BP5

Rooster: DR1, DR3, DR5, IG1, Colorless Blender, OR1, OR3

Grass: JG1, JG3, JG5, JG7

White Gel Pen

Clouds: Cumberland Ink- Catherine Pooler

I used the Scalloped Rectangles Die-overlapping a bit to create a slimline- with the Spring Has Sprung Paper Pack, and used the Summer is Here Layering Stencil to create the clouds in the sky- using Catherine Pooler Cumberbund Ink.

I added some flowers from the Flower Bunch Die and behind Mr. Rooster, added two Garden Gates.   

And for the card in action:

February 2021 Club La-La Land Crafts showcase

 Hi everyone!   Today I am back sharing a few more cards featuring the February 2021 Club La-La Land Crafts kit.   I just love everything about this kit.   

First up, I have Retro Marci sharing her get well wishes.    I stamped Marci on Neenah Classic Crest Cardstock and cut with my Scan N Cut.   

I colored with Spectrum Noir TriBlends and Illustrators:

Spectrum Noir Triblends:
Skin: Fair Skin Blend
Dress: True Blue Blend
Belt and socks: Ice Grey Blend
Shoes: Ice Grey Blend, True Blue Blend

Illustrators:
Hair: RB1, RB2, RB3, RB4, TN9
Lips: AP2, AP4

White Gel Pen

I wanted to give Marci more of a preppy look, which is why I colored both the top and skirt the same color.   

I added the Jukebox Die- Cut with Tonic Mirror Card- in Black Velvet, and layered blue and pink cardstock behind to match the pattern paper.

I used the Celebrate Paper Pack (it's from the February 2021 release- and I have to admit one of my all time favorite packs).

I used the Double Stitched Squares Die as well as the Stitched Pennants Die- layering behind Marci.

I wanted Marci and the Jukebox to take center stage so I kept my layers simple for this card.

A few enamel dots- add the finishing touches.   

Next up, I have the Good Times Rubber Stamp- and I just think these poodles are the cutest ever.

I colored the poodles with Spectrum Noir Triblends:

Bowtie: True Blue Blend
Poodles: Ice Grey Blend
Hairbow: Bright Pink Blend, Bright Pink Shades
Cherry: Dark Red Blend

I used the Double Stitched Squares Die to create a dance floor for the poodles to have a bit of fun dancing on.

I used the Jukebox Die- cutting just the top off- reminding me of the jukeboxes you would see tableside at a diner like Gunther Toody's (not sure if they are located everywhere- but we have them here in Colorado).

I die cut the milkshake and added behind the poodles- I am thinking maybe they had a few milkshakes before dancing.

Again- I used the pattern paper from the February 2021 Release- Celebrate- have I told you it's my favorite so far?  Ha ha.

I added a few enamel dots to the card, adding the finishing touches.
