LLLC: Jaws Because

Posted on by Liz

La-La Land Crafts‘ NEW RELEASE is great! And I’m not just saying that because I’m on the team! I have loved working with all the products and making loads of very different cards. There are just so many possibilities and it doesn’t get any better than that, right?!

I’ve used the Seas the Day background stamp to make the background inside the shaker area look like waves in a pale blue colour. Then I’ve glued some coloured in fish on top of that before I’ve added some die cut fish and sequins to make a shaker card. The frame is by using the scalloped rectangles and cutting out the middle part by hand. On top of that I’ve added some of the bigger sea animals from the Jaws Because clear stamp set and used two of the sentiment stamps on the side.

Clean and Simple shaker card… I think I’ll do more as I really quite like this one!

Here is a photo of the card laying flat. You can see all the fish and sequins inside the shaker area.

LLLC: Best Mate

Posted on by Liz

There are clear stamps in this NEW RELEASE at La-La Land Crafts as well! Wooo! I think the three sets are super cute. Today I’m going to show you the one called Best Mates.

For this release I’ve tried to make a variation of cards, so there are some CAS, some layered, some shakers, some with transparent areas etc. For this one I decided on a reasonably clean and simple card.  I’ve used the My Anchor background stamp to make the strip on the side, and the other background stamp, Seas the Day to make the biggest sentiment. All the animals have matching hats and uniform!

I’ve coloured up all the stamps in the set, as you can see below, just to give you an idea of how they can look.

Stamps:
Best Mates clear stamp
My Anchor background stamp
Seas the Day background stamp (bigger sentiment)

Dies:

LLLC: Water Ripples

Posted on by Liz

So, the NEW RELEASE stencils at La-La Land Crafts are so good! I really do love how you can use one over the other to get a cool effect. Let me show you!

Did you see my card yesterday with the see-through area? Well, I’ve made another! This time the water in the back is made with the new Water Ripples stencil! Which, btw, I absolutely love. Doesn’t it look so pretty? I only used two different colours of distress ink as well. Loving it!

I’ve used various stamps from the Jaws Because clear stamp set to add loads of sea creatures to the card. Most of the coloured images are on the front, and I’ve added most of the die cuts inside the card.

Here you can see the card at an angle, so it is easier to see how I have done the front part with the see-through area.

Stamps:
Jaws Because clear stamp
Make a Splash

Dies:
Sea Critters
Fishes

Stencil:

Copics used: (whale) B91, B93, B97, C1, C3, (turtle) YG61, YG63, YG67, B91, B93, B97, (puffer fish) Y11, Y13, Y17, Y38, (star) Y11, Y13, Y17, Y38, (sea weed) G40, G21, G82, YG63, E41, E42, E43, BV23, BV25, Y11, Y13, Y17

LLLC: Summer Dress Marci

Posted on by Liz

For this post I’m going to show you the super sweet Summer Dress Marci. She is part of the fabulous NEW RELEASE at La-La Land Crafts. All the products I’ve used on my card are listed on the bottom of this post as well as which Copic Markers I’ve used to colour in Marci.

What I love about this new release is that it is perfect for my favourite colours! I’m talking blues and turquoise. I mean, what could possibly give me a better excuse to play with those colours than a maritime theme with focus on all things sea!?

Instead of using an actual charm, I’ve decided to hang the anchor on the twine, so it is dangling freely.  I’ve also used the My Anchor background stamp twice here, once where I used clear emboss and once with dark blue ink. Oh, btw, It is very easy to combine the ropes and knot dies, like I’ve done here, the ropes are also awesome to use as borders because the detail is great!

Stamps:
Summer Dress Marci
My Anchor background stamp

Dies:
Ropes
Knot
Long Flags
Heart Anchor
Fishing Net
Scalloped Rectangles

Copics used: (skin) E000, E00, E02, E13, E15, R20, R22, E25, (hair) E70, E71, E74, E77, (dress) B000, B32, B34, B37

LLLC: Seas the Day

Posted on by Liz

For this NEW RELEASE at La-La Land Crafts there are two new background stamps. As you might already know, I really loved the ones from the last release, and guess what, I love these, too! They are pretty great and I love the effect you can from matching colours, or even just using a single coloured card stock where you just clear emboss it on. Loads of possibilities and I’ll be using them a lot!

For this card I’ve used two of the coordinating stamps that come with this background stamp: one of the boats and one of the sentiments. I’ve coloured the boat in with copics and then used my distress inks to make the sky and sea.

Stamp:
Seas the Day background stamp

Dies:
Ropes
