La-La Land Crafts....Inspiration Friday Guest Designer...Circle Card!!!

Hello stampin' friends! We have a fun La-La Land Crafts Inspiration Friday theme for you this week....CIRCLE Card! 

Sadly, this is my last week guesting with La-La Land Crafts. I have had such a wonderful time and want to thank Irina and Sandie for their kindness and generosity. It was SO great being a part of the Inspiration Friday team for the last few months and all the LLLC Designers have just been so sweet and wonderful to work with! Thank you Irina and ladies for letting me play along with you for the last 3 months.

So for my card, I decided to put my Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter to work and cut an Open Scallop Doily GSD file. I cut two and scored the top of the back scallop circle, to bend and act as the easel. I adhered it with a little scor-tape so it is good and secure. I also cut the circle cardstock mats and my pattern paper circle on my Silhouette. I created the circles with the Draw tool and made it so that they nested. 

I bought a 12X12 My Minds Eye paper pack at Winners for like $4.00 called Good Day Sunshine Girl. I don't normally like to use 12X12 papers for cards as I think that the pattern gets lost but I cut the scalloped circles rather large so the papers worked perfectly. I also used several of the die-cuts from the co-ordinating die-cut sheet from the paper pack.   

I used the super cute NEW Summer Marci and the sentiment is from the NEW Popsicle Marci. I coloured Summer Marci with my Copics and cut her out and pop-dotted her on the card. I added a few buttons and some cotton trim for embellishments.  

Well, thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my CIRCLE card for this week's La-La Land Friday Inspirational. Now head on over to the LLLC Blog and check out all of the gorgeous creations my the other LLLC DT. You can upload your creations to the La-La Land Crafts Customer Gallery too…you just might be the next lucky winner at the end of the month!

Happy Stampin'!

So, I made a card and decorated my new button storage jars! First up  though is my card...I used the Artist Palette and Brush Die-namics and the Clearly Sentimental About Art Stamp set. I also used the Medium Simply Scallops border Die-namics and used each scallop as a "home" for a pretty button from the Cherries Jubilee and Strawberry Cheesecake Color Blenders packages from BG&M. I also used some Maraschino Twinery Twine from MFT. The sentiment from the CS About Art stamp set is stamped on white card cut with the Fishtail Flags Die-namics.

This is the inside of my card...I used the sweet PI You Color My World Girl and another sentiment from the CS about Art stamp set and a little cluster of pretty Cherries Jubilee Buttons from Buttons Galore and More.

I needed a pretty way to store the buttons so I bought a few jars at the dollar store. I wanted to get all the tall glass jars with the glass lids but they only had 4 so I had to settle for 3 smaller jars. I cut chalkboard paper and mats with the Designer Label 3 STAX and ran everything through my Xyron for a good strong adhesive and adhered them to the jars and then added a coordinating button on each of the labels. I think it adds a little splash of colour to my craftroom shelf.

Here is a closer look at the pretty jars of buttons!!! I wrote the names of the button colours on the chalkboard paper label with a chalkboard marker.

Well, thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card and button storage for the MFT and Buttons Galore and More blog hop.

So for my first card, I inked up the NEW Pure Innocence Piggy Bank Stamp set....isn't she just the cutest and such a smart girl to be saving her pennies too! I coloured her with my Copics and paper pieced her out fit. I used my BasicGrey Konnichiwa 6x6 paper pad and stamped one of the adorable sentiments form the EXCLUSIVE Simple Pleasures Sentiment Mini - it will never be offered for sale or be available again and is $9 value for FREE!!!! I stamped the sentiment on Kraft card cut with the Say What Die-namics and used one of the coordinating stamps from the Say What set too. So, I am totally loving the NEW Lead the Way Die-namics set. I love arrows and I am thrilled to have this great new collection of fun and funky arrow dies to add a great little element to a card or project!

Here is the inside of my card...I stamped the PI Piggy Bank Girl again, this sentiment is from the NEW PI Piggy Bank Stamp Set and I cut another fabulous arrow from the NEW Lead the Way Die-namics.

My second card is with the precious NEW Picture Perfect Stamp set and I paired her with some pretty BasicGrey PB&J 6x6 papers. OMGosh, I love this Picture Perfect girl to bits! I coloured her with my Copics and paper pieced too. I went the extra step and paper pieced her so that it appears that you can see through the frame to the paper behind her. I love this fun sentiment from the EXCLUSIVE Simple Pleasures Sentiments Mini set and I used the fabulous NEW Lead the Way Die-namics again....you will be seeing a lot of fun arrows from me, that is for sure!!!!

here is the inside of my card....I stamped the Picture Perfect girl again, another cute arrow (to help make the point) from the NEW Lead the Way Die-namics set and I stamped a sweet sentiment from the Picture Perfect Stamp set on white card cut with the Sentiment Strips Die-namics.
