Birds of a Feather - La-La Land Crafts

Hi there!

How are you doing guys?! Does anyone read the blog posts or have we (crafters) almost completely moved to Instagram in search of inspiration, ideas and relaxing time spending?

I am still enjoying the Blogger platform and think that it's pretty convenient, especially because you can see the pictures of a normal size without having to use a magnifying glass :)

Below is a tag that was created with an awesome toucan from the recently released clear stamp set "Birds of a feather" by La-La Land Crafts:

I have also used the papers from the "Golden Sunset" pad:

La-La Land Crafts September 2019 Release Showcase - Two more cards

Hello!

I am running late posting the cards below which I created for the La-La Land Crafts September release, but it is better late than never :))

I have prepared the drafts for the posts with all the links and the pictures and did not have a chance to add the blurb.

If you are following me long enough, you probably know that I am not a fan of long posts. My posts are more of the visual character. I myself do not have time to read long posts on other people's blogs, I just look at the pictures and get inspired. 

Anyways, below you can see two more cards which I created for the La-La Land Crafts design team.

I've used the following products from the September release:

Vacation Mona Rubber Stamp
Stress Free Zone Background Stamp
Golden Sunset Paper Pack
Tiki Hut Island Die
Monstera Leaf Die
Tropical Leaves Die

A stamped image was colored with Copics:

Skin: E04, E11, E00, E000
Outfit: W5, R32, R30, R11
Hair: E59, E57, E55
Shoes: BG49, BG45, BG34, BG11

The second card is super fun and colorful, with a shaker and a sweet penguin from the new stamp set called "Just Chill":

Here is the list of the products that I used for creating this card:

Just Chill Clear Stamp Set
Stress Free Zone Background Stamp
Get Inky Paper Pack
Luggage Tag Die
Camera Die
Mandala Doily Die
Photo Elements Die

Copics:

Penguin: BV29, BV25, BV23, BV20
                W4, W2, W0 + R20
                T6, YR16, YR14, YR01 + Y38
Balloon: V09, V06, V04, V01

I appreciate your visit and hope you are enjoying your day!

Interactive Mini Album For Beginners - Tutorial

Hello-hello!

It's been a while since I posted a tutorial on my YouTube channel or here on the blog, but today it's going to change. After a long brake I honestly feel that making a tutorial in the video format would take me too much time, that's why we will be going back to when only picture tutorials were available.

In a very detailed way, I will teach you how to make a mini album with a couple of interactive elements and will include pictures for every step of the process. 

The tutorial is created for the La-La Land Crafts and will feature some of the amazing products of the brand:

Summer is Here Collection Rubber Stamp

Celebrate Collection Rubber Stamp (some of the sentiments are from this set)

Summer Dress Marci Rubber Stamp (full size version of the stamp)

Wood Planks Background Stamp

Simple Joys Background Stamp

Pierced Scalloped Ovals Die

Double Stitched Ovals Die

Curved Pocket Die

Large Stitched Tags Die

Long Flags Die

Stitched Nested Circles Die

Pierced Scalloped Circles Die

Double Stitched Circles Die
Stitched Slots Die

Filigree Flowers Die

Last year at the La-La Palooza Retreat I taught a class on this album, although the cover and he papers were different back then. A dear friend of mine, Patti, owns this album now :) Hi Patti!!

Let's begin!

Creating the Cover

First, we will need 3 pieces of medium weight chipboard measuring 6 1/4" X 6 1/4" (2 pc), 6 1/4" X 1 1/4" (1 pc). These will form our album cover.

For wrapping the cover we will need two pieces of cardstock measuring 11" X 7 1/4" & 4 1/4" X 7 1/4". I am using the 8.5" X 11" paper, hence the measurements. If you are using the 12"X12" cardstock, please figure out the measurements based on the pictures that you see below. We need a continuous piece of paper, which will be enough to wrap the chipboard pieces.

I added a strip of score tape to the long side of the smaller paper piece and drew guidelines 0.5" away from the left and bottom edge of the larger paper piece, as well as 0.5" away from the bottom of the smaller paper piece. See the picture below for the reference.

Treat Box using the La-La Land Crafts Products

Hello everyone!

How is everyone doing? I am here today with a little treat box which was created for the La-La Land Crafts design team using some of their products.

Although the box is super small (3 3/4" X 2.5" X 2 1/4"), I managed to accommodate quite a lot of die cut pieces on it. Below you can find the full list of the stamps and dies which have been used:

Best of Cluck Clear Stamp Set
Filler Words - Print Clear Stamp Set

Pierced Scalloped Ovals Die
Double Stitched Ovals Die
Small Stars Die
Double Stitched Stars Die
Large Stitched Tags Die
Nested Frames Small Die
Nested Frames Large Die
Stitched Elements Die
Stitched Pennants Die

The box is expanding once opened, for making it easy taking the sweets or other treats out of it.

The stamped image was colored with Copics:

YR18, Y38, Y35, Y15
YR18, YR14

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

August 2019 Club La-La Land Crafts Kit Reveal

Hello everyone!

Today Club La-La Land Crafts is celebrating the 5th Birthday and you are the ones who's going to get some wonderful prizes for this occasion. 

If you have never heard about the Club and want to know more details, you can find all the related information and subscribe here. Note that project tutorials are now included in your subscription!

This month's Product Kit values at $71.99. The "Thank You" Gift (Balloon Numbers Die and the Coaster Tag) are valued at $24.99

If you are ready to subscribe and wanna get the August kit, the deadline would be August 29th.

The design team is showcasing their projects created with the Birthday Kit and I am happy to share what I have made:

My eldest daughter is turning 6 in a few weeks and this is a wall hanging that I'll put in her room as one of the birthday decorations. 

I really like the sweet "Birthday Present Marci". I colored her with Copics:

Skin: E11, E04, E00, E000

Hair: E18, E15, E13

Dress: R89, R85, R83, R81

Boots: E57, E55, E53

Box: W5, W1, E71, E70

Ribbon: R59, RV06, RV04

The "Birthday" and "Happy Present" dies can be used on your birthday card over and over again. I don't know what about you, but I am constantly making birthday cards and these dies will come very handy.

My personal favorite from the kit is the "Balloon Numbers" die. They are great size and look like thick chipboard stickers if you glue a couple of them together and seal the top layer with Glossy Accents.

At the picture above you can see how the number six looks like, done in this technique and glued on top of the "Balloon" die cut piece.

Besides the products from the kit, I've used additional dies by La-La Land Crafts:
Mandala Doily
Filigree Flowers
Double Stitched Ovals
Scalloped Ovals

By the way, with the August kit, each subscriber will get this adorable coaster/tag:

My second project is the card below, with a fun bunch of different characters from several previous Club Kits:

They can all be found now in one big red rubber stamp which is a part of the August Kit - 

"From All of Us":

Here is a list of the Copic color that I used for coloring each one of the little friends.
