La La Land Crafts - Have You Heard? (Club La La Land)

Image
At the beginning of last year I said I wouldn't start another card kit or stamp subscription...but...towards the end of last year I came across a super cute club that I wanted to be apart of! La La Land Crafts has a fun monthly kit which comes with red rubber stamps and dies and today I'm sharing a few cards I created with my first kit (December).    Each card features the cute Panda Bear stamp/s and also includes the dies available in the subscription kit. I basically added card stock and a few embellishments to finish off each card. I decided I wanted to go really bright and colourful - a nice contrast to black and white bears.  My second card uses the negatives left over from the first card (I love it when I don't waste paper!). I of course added some stitching and coloured the bears in with Copic markers. Copic markers used provided below.  Supplies Used: La La  Land Crafts - December Club Kit  Card Stock Corrugated Card Copic Markers Panda: C00/C0/

Seriously some fantastic designs to create fun jungle themed cards! I can't wait to show you more. Happy Crafting!

Ink Road Stamps: Mr & Mrs (Bella Flora)

Image
It's pretty much wedding season here in Australia - so I'm starting the year off using Ink Road Stamps Bella Flora to create this beautiful, monochrome white card. There is something very elegant and classy about white on white with a bit of gold! Head on over to Ink Road Stamps blog for full instructions on how I created with card.  I've had a few questions about how I got the texture on the fie cut flowers - it's not am embossing folder!... I have a rather large collection of corrugated cardstock. It' perfect for adding texture to cards especially when using dies.  I used Ink Road Stamps Block Party Alphas and Wow Embossing Powder (gold) to stamp and emboss the sentiment. Kept it Simple: Mr & Mrs. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you get a chance to try this very simple white on white technique using dies. I'll be showcasing all of Ink Road Stamps dies this month so keep an eye out on my next blog post for some die-cutting inspiration!

Craftin Desert Divas: Cupid Shot Me (Challenge #1)

Image
Happy New Year! I've had a very relaxed, slow start to 2019...Perhaps a little too relaxed as this is my first blog post for the year!  Today I'm sharing a card I created using a freebie I received from Craftin Desert Divas . A perfect stamp to play with for loved themed Valentines cards. I've paired this stamp with a Craftin Desert Divas cloud die. Coloured in with COPIC Markers. I've also decided to get back in to card challenges. Last year I mainly worked on design team projects and forgot how much I enjoy some of the challenges that are available - its a nice incentive to have a play and another reason to keep the blog updated!
