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? :)

Marci was colored with Copics:

Skin: E04, E11, E00, E000 + R20

Hair: E18, E15, E13

Green: YG97, G24, G12, YG00

Pink: R39, R85, R83, R81

Candy 1: BG18, BG15, BG13, BG11

Candy 2: V09, V06, V04

Candy 3: YR24, Y38, Y18, Y06

The links to all of the LLLC products that I used for putting this card together will be in the list below:

Candy Shoppe Paper Pack

Candyland Marci Rubber Stamp

Candy Shoppe Die

Candy Jars Die

Suckers and Lollipops Die

Small Candies Die

Music Notes Border Die

I hope you like this release and feel inspired to create a good amount of colorful and happy candy themed cards :)

Be back tomorrow for more inspiration!

Looks like my post for the Day 6 new release showcase wasn't scheduled correctly, so I am publishing it later.

As you might have seen from my previous posts, there are new great products in the La-La Land Crafts store. Among the rest, there are quite a few images and dies which are "cavemen" themed :)

My today's card features the sweet Stone Age Marci. She is really beautiful, I especially like her hair.

Here is a list of the LLLC products that I used this time:

Sparkle and Shine Paper Pack

Stone Age Marci

Volcano Die

Fern Leaf Die

Palm Trees Die

Sun Smiles Die

Three Clouds Die

La-La Land Crafts June 2023 Release - DAY 5

Hello!

The members of the La-La Land Crafts Design Team keep on sharing their projects created with the products from the June 2023 Release. 

My today's card will feature a stamp which was once part of the club kit set (back in April 2021). This Marci used to be called "Pet Loving Marci". As she's being released into the regular range of the LLLC products she will be called "Marci with Goldfish". 

I really like the Fish Tank Die. It's size is just great for creating either shakers or interesting scenes under a layer of acetate (which I did on my card here). The fishes are from an older set, called "Little Fishes".

Marci was colored with Copics:

Skin: E04, E11, E00, E000 + R20

Hair: W8, W6, W4, W2

Blue: B39, B18, B16, B14, B12

Pink: R39, RV09, RV06, RV04

Yellow: YR24, Y17, Y08

Fish Bag: BG45, BG34, BG11, BG10 + W3, W1

Fish: E57, YR09, YR07

Check out this post from the La-La Land Crafts blog to see other creations from the Design Team members,

I have one more card to show you tomorrow. Cheers for now :)

In the meanwhile, let me show you a card that I made for the DAY 4 of the release showcase:

I really like this new Cave Girl Marci and of course, as usual, she goes so well together with all the themed dies. You can create beautiful scenes using other die cut elements.

I also wanted to pay your attention to a new large clear stamp set with a whole bunch of new characters. It is called "Light My Fire". It is currently available for pre-order, but will start shipping real soon (in just a few more days). I didn't make a card with the images from this stamp set just yet, but I surely plan to in the near future. Isn't that mammoth adorable?

Thanks for stopping by and come back tomorrow for the DAY 5 release showcase.

A Simple Birthday Card with the Alphabet Letters Die from La-La Land Crafts

Hello there!

I have a simple card to share with you today, followed by a video tutorial. It was created for my La-La Land Crafts design team.

Although all of the characters and critters stamps that La-La Land Crafts have are very cute, sometime we need an elegant and simple birthday card. Here is the one I've made:

A version with the gold foiled letter was my first, and then I also created another card with the holographic rainbow letters. 

At first I wanted the letters to be super thick and dimensional:

But eventually I ended up using the single layered letters, gluing them a bit to the side from their initial die cut negative spaces.

Below is the list of the few La-La Land Crafts dies that I used:
Bold Letters Die 

Vintage Car Die

Motorcycle w/Side Car Die

You can watch how I created this card on my You Tube channel here - https://youtu.be/ZR6CjuqUpM4.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
