La-La Land Crafts July 2023 Release - Candy Shoppe Marci

Hello!

Today I'd like to share the third card that I created with the products from the recent "Sweet" Release from La-La Land Crafts, and I chose to use the new "Candy Shoppe Marci" Rubber Stamp.

The colors for this card were fully inspired by the colors of the papers from the new "Candy Shoppe" paper pad.

As I have mentioned in my several previous posts which were dedicated to this July 2023 release, the dies are amazing and super fun to use. The tiny candy jars that come with the candy cart are a miniature copy of the larger candy jars die.

Here is the list of the products I used for my today's card:

Candy Shoppe Paper Pack

Candy Shoppe Marci Rubber Stamp

Candy Shoppe Die

Candy Cart Die

Marci was colored with Copics:

Skin: E04, E11, E00, E000 + R20

Hair: BG09, BG18, BG15, BG13, BG11

Pink: RV09, RV06, RV04, RV02

Purple: V09, V06, V04, V01

Yellow: YR24, Y38, Y18, Y06

Thanks for visiting my blog and have a great day!

World of Flowers - Third Journal for the Junk Journaling Station - Tutorial

Hello again!

I am excited to share with you the third part of the Junk Journaling Station Series of tutorials. Our current journal will be full of flowers, as it features the digital paper collection from Vectoria Designs, called "The World of Flowers".

You can view my previous posts related to this project here and here. In each of the blog posts you will also be able to find links to the corresponding video tutorials on You Tube.

Getting back to "The World of Flowers", here is how my third journal looks like:

I made a see through window on the cover, as well as a pocket with a pull out tag. The spine is embellished similar to the two previous journals. Since we are working on a series of journals here, I wanted all of the books to look related :)

Below you can find the pictures of some of the inside pages (click the pictures to enlarge):

You can watch the journal flip-through on my You Tube channel here - https://youtu.be/HrqjNfzifkE

The tutorial for making the journal is available at this link - https://youtu.be/ZrmYqF27o7M

Our last journal in the series will be animal themed. It will be ready soon!

Thanks for stopping by. Have fun crafting!

La-La Land Crafts July 2023 Release - Candyland Marci

Hello-hello!

La-La Land Crafts have released a new bunch of products this July and they are all related to candies and sweets. This release is truly amazing, must be one of my favorite releases so far. Each die and each stamp, as well as the paper sets are gorgeous! Everything is matching in a perfect way too!

You can have a look at all of the new products under this category on the La-La Land Crafts site.

In the meanwhile, let me show you my first card that I created with the products from the Candy release.

The star of the show here is, of course, Candyland Marci. She reminded me of the cute doll-looking girls from the candy pop music video clips on You Tube. I am not a fan of this music, but I do know that it is a female punk-inspired musical style, popular in Japan and South Korea. The singers look exactly like this Marci!! :)

The new paper pack "Candy Shoppe" inspired the bright colors on this card. Candies have to be bright, colorful and draw all of our attention, don't they? :)
