La-La Land Crafts...Inspirational Friday Guest Designer...O Canada!

 Hey Stampin' friends! It is time for another La-La Land Crafts Inspirational Friday! This week the theme is to use the colour combo red, white and blue or to use the colours of your nation! Well, I'm a proud Canuck (Canadian) so I made my card red and white!

So, I have quite the mix of papers from different pads on this card. I don't normally mix up papers from different companies. I know it is rather odd thing but it bothers me to mix up papers that are from different manufactures :)...I worry that they may not go together or something. Well, It was a good exercise for me to move outside my crafty comfort zone and mix things up, literally!

So, I decided to ink up sweet Capri Marci for my patriotic card. She is my all time fave LLLC Marci stamp...I think she is just so sweet! I coloured her with my Copics and cut her out and pop-dotted her on the circle panel that I cut with Open Scallop Doily Die-namics. I also used my Layered Hearts and Heats of Plenty Die-namics. I added the pretty butterfly cut with the La-La Land Crafts Butterflies Die and added a few white half pearls to the fabulous butterfly.  I used some white cotton lace trim and red and white gingham ribbon with a sprinkling of red buttons. I printed the sentiment on my computer and cut it out with the Fishtail Flags Die-namics.

Here is the inside of my card...I stamped Capri Marci again with Love Letter Memento ink and a sentiment from the A La Modes, Time to Celebrate Stamp set on white card cut with the smallest, Rounded Banner STAX Die-namics die...it makes a fab little tag.

Well, thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card for this week's theme at LLLC Inspirational Friday. Now swing 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'!

La-La Land Crafts...Inspirational Die Showcase...Life is a Journey!

Hey stampin' friends! Today both the Monday and Friday Inspirational teams are holding a La-La Land Crafts Die Showcase to share all the fabulous new LLLC Dies! Today I have made a card with Travel Marci and used the gorgeous NEW Street Lamp Post and one of the pretty butterflies from the NEW Butterflies Set 1. To kick off the new dies release we are having a 10% off sale for 2 days only for June 4th and 5th, just use this discount code INTRO10.

Also, at this time LLLC is not shipping the Dies to Australia and New Zealand. If you are in Australia or New Zealand please contact your local craft store to purchase our dies. If you need to find store location, please email Copic X-Press at jacqui@xpressgraphx.com.au and they will be happy to assist you.

So,  I teamed Travel Marci up with these pretty MME papers called Six by Six, Paris & Co....I love blue and brown together...très chic! I thought I would add a little stitching to my card but sewing machines don't like me so instead I used my trusty 'ol Kelly Panacci Stitching Stamps and stamped with Brushed Corduroy Distress ink.

I coloured Travel Marci with my Copics and cut her out and pop-dotted her on on the card. The Street Lamp Die is cut from AC brown cardstock and I cut it a second time from AC yellow cardstock and adhered the piece behind the lamp so that there is a yellow glow from the lamp post.  I used the sweet sentiment that comes with Travel Marci and cut it out with my Fishtail Flags STAX and inked with Old Paper Distress ink.  I also added blue Satin ribbon, a smattering of blue half-pearls and one of the sweet LLLC butterflies from the Butterflies Set 1. I also created a second little butterfly by turning two of the negative "heart" shaped piece from the butterfly on their side and adding a few pearls for the body and drew in some antenna with a Copic Muliti-liner.  

Here is the inside....I added a shadow image of travel Marci and another little butterfly. The sentiment is a combination of two sentiment from the MFT More Essential Sentiments set. I turned the MFT Sweet Stack Die-namics on its side and a few more blue half-pearls!

Thanks SO much for stopping by today and having a wee peek at my Travel Marci card featuring the new LLLC Lamp Post and Butterfly dies! Please visit the LLLC blog for a list of all the DT with cards to share showcasing the fabulous new LLLC Dies.

Happy Stampin'!
