La La Land Crafts - Curtain Call Challenge - Nov. 1 - Cider & Sunday Stamps Challenge # 164

Hello stampin' friends! We have a yummy inspirational challenge over at the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Nov.1 - Cider. I hope you can join us! Remember you can take inspiration from the festive photo that we have for you or anything goes! I used Hot Cocoa Marci Digi from La La Land Crafts for this card.

 I used MFT Heavyweight Card Stock in Hot Fudge, Kraft, Paver Red, Orange Fizz and Primitive Cream 

And I used this GREAT sketch that they have over at Sunday Stamps # 164 but flipped around the sketch to work with my image. 

I took inspiration from the photo for the autumnal colour combo and coloured up the darling Hot Cocoa Marci digi from La La Land Crafts. I started off by stencilling with the Reverse Confetti Lotsa Dots Stencil with Rusty Hinge and Festive Berries Distress ink on Kraft Cardstock. I used my all time favourite MFT Horizontal Stitched Strips Die-nmaics to cut out a scrap of Orange Fizz Cardstock stamped with the MFT Wood Plank Background Stamp. I also used the MFT Vertical Stitched Strips and my MFT Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics for all the different layered strips.

I coloured Hot Cocoa Marci with my Copics, fussy cut her out and then popped her up on the card front. I stamped a sentiment from the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Harvest Blessings Stamp set on Primitive Heavyweight Cardstock with Paver Red Premium Dye Ink. I embellished with Orange Hemp cord and a sprinkling of sparkly Red YNS Gumdrops. 

 I finished up the inside of my card too....a shadow image of Hot Cocoa Marci and the sentiment is from the MFT DC Trick or Sweet Stamp set and Layered Treat Tag Die-namics.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a little look at my Hot Cocoa Marci card for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge Nov. 1 - Cider and the Sunday Stamps Challenge #164. I hope you can find some time to get crafty and join us!

Curtain Call Challenge - Sept. 1 Dreamcatcher- La-La Land Stamps & Chameleon - Hello

Hello stampin' friends! We have a beautiful inspirational photo for the Sept. 1 Curtain Call Challenge - Dreamcatcher. I hope you can join us for as we LOVE to seeing you beautiful creations. Remember you can take inspiration from the gorgeous Dreamcatcher photo that we have or anything goes!

I used MFT Heavyweight Cardstock in Kraft, Natural, Sno Cone, Pink Lemonade and Steel Grey. 

I made my card with several colours found in the pretty feathers and fabric flowers on the dreamcatcher. I didn't have any of the fun and trendy dreamcatcher stamp sets that are out on the market right now but thought I would colour up this sweet La-La Land Crafts Digi image of Marci with a Quill.

I decided to pull out my Chameleon Color Tones and NEW Chameleon Color Tops to colour up this sweet girl. This was my first time colouring skin (NU00, NU1, NU2) and hair (BR2 with BR5 Color Top) with my Chameleons. It definitely gives a different effect than what I have typically been able to achieve with my Copics but I still like the look. With a little more practice I think I can achieve a more dimensional look like I get with my Copics. I used BG1 for her jeans and PK2 for her T-shift. For the hairband I used PK2 with PK4 Color Tops.    
I cut the image out with my Circle STAX Die-namics, left the image in the die and inked with Broken China Distress ink. I then cut Steel Grey Heavyweight Cardstock with my Spellbinder Nestabilites Lacey Circle Die and popped the image panel on it. I cut several flowers from MFT felt to mimic the pretty fabric flowers on the dreamcatcher. I embellished with some Hemp twine and pink sequins. I stamped the sentiment from the Reverse Confetti Bitty Banners Stamp Set in Grout Grey Premium Dye Ink and cut it with the Bitty Banner Confetti Cuts.  I finished up the inside of my card too...I printed a shadow image of Marci with a Quill and coloured in the hearts on her T-shirt with a pink Stardust Sakura Gelly Roll Pen. I added another cluster of felt flowers and stamped a sentiment from the Reverse Confetti Stamp set A Friend Like You Stamp set in Grout Grey Premium Dye Ink.  Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a little look at my card for the - September 1st Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Dreamcatcher!

La-La Land Stamps...CTD457 & CAS(E) This Sketch # 236...You're a Class Act

Hello stampin' friends! I made some time today to get crafty, colour up this darling La-La Land Digi stamp - Reading Marci and play along with a couple FUN challenges! I made this card with the pretty colour combo over at the Color Throwdown # 457 and I followed the sketch that they have over at CAS(E) This Sketch # 236. 

I used MFT Heavyweight Card stock in Pink Lemonade, Banana Split and Grout Grey 

I LOVE this sketch that they have over at CAS(E)This Sketch! CAS is not my go-to style but I really tried to keep this card simple...at least it is simple in my books! 

I finally did some inking with the Distress Oxide Inks that I recently bought on Strathmore Bristol Artist paper. Using the Bristol paper was highly recommend by Laura Bassen over at laurafadora in this video.... it is a GREAT tip for effortless blending! I used Worn Lipstick and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink and the sprinkled, flicked and dripped on some water for a few little water droplets. 
I coloured up Reading Marci with my Copics, cut the image with the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle Sugar Cuts from SugarPea Designs. I left the image in the die and inked with Spun Sugar Distress ink then matted it with Grout Grey Heavyweight Cardstock. The sentiment is from the Reverse Confetti Class Act Stamp set and stamped on Reverse Confetti Polar White Cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I tided the tag with Hemp cord and added a little sprinkle of sparkly gold YNS Gumdrops.  


I finished off the inside of my card too....I printed another digi image of Reading Marci as a shadow image and then stamped the sentiment from the Reverse Confetti Shine from Within Stamp set on a tag cut with MFT Traditional Tag STAX Die-namics. I used the "cut and re-cut technique" to shorted the tag.  Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a little look at my La-La Land Stamps - Reading Marci card for the Color Throwdown # 457 and CAS(E) This Sketch # 236!

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.
