3D Inspiration Monday - La-La Land Crafts

Hello and welcome!

 This Monday the design team members over the La-La Land Crafts team were asked to create 3D projects. Here is an easy gift box with a shaker lid, that I have put together:


Marci is placed in the little chamber on the lid of the box and is behind a piece of acetate, which allows to add sequins inside the lid:


For embellishments, I used the die cut flowers using a few La-La Land Crafts dies:

A Slide Box and a Freebie

Hello!

I've wanted to make a slotted box with a bunch of slides, and I think it worked well!


Now, I am thinking of making a pretty little filmoscope. The "films" can actually be taken out of each frame and replaced/rotated. 

A die that I used for making the slides is the one by Tim Holtz from the set called "Specimen" (#665930).  For creating 20 slides, I needed 60 slide halves with the window.

The box was made with the medium weight chipboard.







Here are the measurements for the box's parts:
The base: 
2 3/8" X 4 5/8" (2 pc)
2 3/8" X 2 1/4" (2 pc)
2 1/4" X 4 3/4" (1 pc)
The lid:
2 3/8" X 4 7/8 (1 pc)
2 3/8" X 1.5" (2 pc)
5" X 1.5" (2 pc)

I have also created a journal that you can see on the pictures below. I haven't taken any photos of the inside pages yet, but I will do it later :)





I don't think that there will be a tutorial on creating the box, cutting tiny 1/8" X 2 1/4" pieces of chipboard for the slots was quite a tedious task and I am not sure that anyone will want to repeat that. There are 44 of them in the box. Phew!!!


If you want to create the slides though, and you'd like to use the images of the "films" and the side labels, like the ones that I have, you are welcome to use a freebie that I have for you. In this blog post you can only find a preview of them, but a hi-res download is available in my Ko-Fi here. You can find my previous freebies there as well. 


Thanks for stopping by my blog and have a wonderful day!

Inspiration Monday - Heart/Valentine - La-La Land Crafts

Hello everyone and another happy Monday to all!

Our current inspiration theme for the week over the La-La Land Crafts blog is Valentine's/Hearts

I am happy to share a card that I made for the theme with the cute Ladybug Marci Rubber Stamp.


I have wanted to color this image for a while, but didn't have either time or a reason to do it. For the Valentine's Day though, I think it suits perfect! Red will always be one of my favorite colors :)

After I made fabric poinsettias using the Layered Poinsettia Die, I decided to try out some other floral dies, too. The red flowers on my card have been created with the help of the Daisy Die. I still need to keep experimenting and getting a better shaped flowers, but for now I was pleased with how they fit 
on a card. Here is a picture of the WIP:


Among other dies, I used the Rose Bouquet Die. It is awesome! Airy and delicate!


I like how it looks in combination with other die cuts:


You will be able to find the list of the products that I used right below this picture:




Marci was colored with Copics:
Skin: E04, E11, E00, E000 + R20
Hair: E18, E15, E13
Reds: T6, E09, E07, R17
Blacks: W8, W6, W4

I want to wish all of you a great week and talk to you soon!

Inspiration Monday - La-La Land Crafts - Get Organized

Hello and welcome to the first post in 2023!

This week our theme over the La-La Land Crafts blog is "Get Organized". I decided to create a January calendar-card, which can be put on a table and not only remind me what day of the week it is today, but also inspire.


The Notebook Pages Die and the Notepad Die perfectly link my card to the theme. I adore the clip die so much, it look very real!


I also used the layered poinsettia flower and the pine cone branches created a bit earlier in December for a tutorial that you can watch here:



Below are the links to all of the LLLC products that I used for my today's card:
