Birthday Robots from La-La Land Crafts

Today I am back with another fun birthday card featuring images from La-La Land Crafts.   I love Birthday Robots and it was perfect for a card for a boy.    I used the digi version but you can also get rubber as well.

There's still time to join this month's challenge over in the Spectrum Noir Creative Community on Facebook where the theme is birthday!

I printed the digi on Neenah Classic Crest card and then cut with my Scan N Cut.

I colored with Illustrators-

BG2, BG4, BG7

DR2, DR4, DR7

OR1, OR3

GYI, GY2

IB1, IB3

SN Gold Metallic Marker

I wanted a long skinny card so I made my base 4" x 8".

I pulled some pattern paper from my stash that coordinated with the image and then some cardstock as well.  

I cut some gear cogs and balloons and stars on my Silhouette and then cut the Happy Birthday sentiment die with coordinating paper.

I bought this die back before I did a better job of labeling so I am not sure the vendor.

I popped some items up with foam tape and others kept flat.

I added a few enamel dots from Doodlebug in coordinating colors.  

And here you have it a fun birthday card for a boy!

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

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!
