La La Land Crafts Diabetes Awareness

Good Morning Everyone 

Today I have a card to share with you that I created in honour of a little girl with Type 2 Diabetes. 

I have used a stamp from Club La La Land Crafts December 2019 Kit, this stamp is now available to purchase on it's own and Digital Version so I will link those up for you.

I actually used the Digital Version only because I had some already printed out (there was a manufacturing fault in my original rubber so I purchased the Digital whilst I was waiting for my replacement stamp to be sent out). I now own the rubber version also. 

The image was printed onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock using my Brother Laser Printer, I use a laser printer as I know that I will never have an issue with bleeding from my Copic Markers. I added some extra details to the image using a white Gelly Roll pen which I will link up a few options for you.

I used patterned papers from Kaisercraft Little One Collection, this is an old paper collection so I do apologise if you have trouble tracking it down. I love the aqua colours in this paper pad and it was exactly the colour I was after for this card. 

I fussy cut the image using my EK Success Cutterbee Scissors, I recommend these all the time because they are perfect for fussy cutting, they have a nice sharp point on them and allow a nice roll around cut of the image. 

I cut the layers of patterned paper down using my Cutterpillar Pro and adhered them to a Couture Creations Pre Made Card Base, then adhered the image. 

The card needed more to finish it off before I added the sentiment so I punched out some Stars using EK Success Star Confetti Punch and some leftover white cardstock (I keep two small boxes next to my desk with offcuts of white and black card stocks for these things). 

The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions Simple Strips, I stamped them out using Memento Tuxedo Black ink then ran them through my Sizzix Big Shot.

I decorated the inside of the card using matching papers, sorry I forgot photos before I sent it out.

Everything was adhered using Helmar Acid Free liquid Adhesive. 

I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).

La La Land Crafts - Awareness Marci

Hi Everyone,

Today I am working on a card using a Digital stamp from La La Land Crafts, this is Awareness Marci.

I printed the image onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock using my Brother Laser Printer, then coloured her using Copic Markers. I coloured this one a while ago so I do not have the list of markers used. 

I fussy cut the image using my EK Success Cutterbee Scissors, I didn't want any white outline so I cut all the way up to the line then used a Tombow marker to go around the outside and make sure it is all covered. 

I used pink cardstock from Kaisercraft for the base layer.

I ran some patterned papers from The Craft Stall though my Sizzix Big Shot - I used a MFT Stamps crossed stitched circle stax for the denim looking paper and the sentiment (part of the stamp set)

I added Wink of Stella to the pink ribbons and to her bows.

  

The little pink ribbon I added to the sentiment is a hole punch, I couldn't find anything similar to link up - I do apologise I have had this for almost 10 years. 

I used Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Drops in Blue Babe and Carnation Pink to add some enamel dots.

I used leftovers of the patterned papers to decorate the inside of the card. 

I went in add added some details to the image whilst it was drying - using a Uni-Ball Signo white gel pen.

I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).

You Rock Harry, Happy Birthday

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing with you a card I created last week for a friend, she needed a card to give to her Nephew Harry for his 13th Birthday. 

Harry has started playing guitar and I knew this image would be perfect for him. This is Luka with Guitar from La La Land Crafts, he is available as a Digital Stamp and a Rubber Stamp. I love when companies do this as everyone's needs are met. 

I used the Digital Version of the stamp as I needed it straight away. I sized it up using the Pages app on my MacBook Air, then printed it onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock using my Brother Laser Printer. 

I trimmed the stamp down from the A4 page I printed (I always print a full page of images when printing Digital Stamps), I then fussy cut him using my EK Success Cutterbee Scissors, I know I probably sound like I'm on repeat but these scissors are my go to for fussy cutting as they are super sharp and pointy which is exactly what you need for fussy cutting. 

I began by colouring his skin, I used E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 and R20, this is usually my go to blend for skin although I do have a few others up my sleeve. 

I added a light coating to his hair, I didn't go any further at this stage because I was waiting for my friend to let me know what colour hair Harry has. 

I moved on to colouring his jeans, I used B95, B97, B99 for his jeans and used his skin tones on the patch I created (Irina from La La Land Crafts did a video on this last week, ill see if I can link it up). I then coloured up the rest of the jeans. I added some details to them using a Uni-Ball White Gel Pen. 

Next we move on to his jumper, I used R14, R37 and R39 to do this.

My friend has now sent through the colours of Harry's Hair so I will go back and complete this. 

Now let's put the card together. 

I apologise I lost some of my footage off my camera - apparently it was corrupted.. grrr. 

What you missed on the video - I used dies from MFT Stamps Rock and Roll die set and cut out the flames, the numbers are from Lawn Fawn Quinn's 123's I ran them through my Big Shot using Canson Card Stock. 

The sentiment I printed from my computer because I needed it personalised and it was the easiest way to do it - I used some X-Press It Blending Card for this as I like all my white's to be the same. 

The little stars were punched out using an EK Success Star Confetti Punch and American Crafts Black Cardstock. 

Harry's name was a challenging one - I had this great idea to print it out. I printed it onto a scrap piece of paper first, then trimmed down some vellum and adhered it directly over what I had already printed and attached it using Washi Tape. I ran it back through my printer, it looked great... however it just wasn't doing.. aah. I was doing something else on the card and ended up with black ink on my hand - lucky I didn't mess my card up.. I tried to dry it using my Heat Gun but it just wasn't making any difference so I grabbed a permanent marker and carefully went over it, I hit it with the heat gun again really carefully and finally it was dry! 

The big Star on the card was from another MFT die set but now I can't find it to link it haha. It will show up once this goes live im sure, 

I cut the guitar from Canson Cardstock using Guitar die from La La Land Crafts - this item is for sale as a separate die now, however I received as part of the November 2018 Club La La Land Crafts. 

  

I used leftovers of dies etc to decorate the inside of the card.

La La Land Crafts - Snorkelling Luka with BIG OOPS at the end :-)

Hi Everyone, 

Today I am sharing with you a card I created using an old retired image from La La Land Crafts, I believe it is called Snorkelling Luka, I coloured him up quite a while ago so I don't have any Copic Marker lists. 

I do know I printed him onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock using my Brother Laser Printer. 

I fussy cut the image down using EK Success Cutterbee Scissors, I did cut right down to the line on this one as I didn't want the white border. I did run around the outside of the image using a Dual Tombow Black marker.

I stamped the Celebrating with you sentiment using Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Background, I stamped it onto American Crafts Cardstock using Ink On 3 Watermark Embossing Ink, then used Ranger Ink Super Fine White Embossing Powder. I melted the embossing powder using a Heat Gun. I then ran all the stamps through my Sizzix Big Shot using the matching die set.

The papers are all leftovers from other projects - the blue piece I ran through my Big Shot using a Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle die - I have linked up a few options for you.

I adhered all the layers to a Couture Creations Card Base Using Helmar Acid Free liquid adhesive.

Finally I went in with Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Drops in Ripened Pumpkin, Caribbean Ocean and Dandelion Yellow... here's where the oops comes in.. the Caribbean Ocean burst out onto my card spraying Nuvo Drops everywhere.. all over our floors, my desk my card and my shirt!

I couldn't save the card or my shirt I was just glad I could get it off our floor boards and my desk. 

I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).

How to: Fussy Cutting 101

Today I have a quick video for you sharing how I fussy cut, and some tips along the way. 

The images I am using are from La La Land Crafts, I do not work for them or design for them in any way shape or form.

I am a huge fan of Irina's Images and it is just what I chose to use for my video today. 

The Images I am using are not all available for purchase, I do apologise I didn't realise this until I was getting all the links together for my video link ups. 

So, the images I have used that are available are:

Fireman Luka available in Rubber Stamp and Digital Stamp

Singing Luka available as Digital Stamp

Super Hero Luka Rubber Stamp and Digital Stamp

I don't own all of these in Rubber Stamp, I have used the Digital Versions for all, so I printed them onto X-Press It Blending Card Stock using my Brother Laser Printer.

I am using EK Success Cutterbee Scissors to do my fussy cutting, I suggest that you use some sort of scissors that are super sharp and pointy, this will give you a nice smooth cut and this is why I use the Cutter Bee Scissors. 

I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).
