Inspiration Wednesday - Flags or Banners!

Hello my friends! Hope you are all having a wonderful week. ♥

I'm here today to share my Inspiration Wednesday project for La La Land Crafts.

This week's theme is:

Flags or Banners

I created this "blue" card featuring some of the awesome dies from the La La Land Crafts shop. I love the new Scroll Bracket die. It's so versatile and when lined up perfectly on a card, it gives you an illusion of a full background stencil!

Here's a peek at the new Scroll Bracket die:

Lalaland Crafts New Release Showcase August 2015

Hello friends! This week Lalaland Crafts is celebrating the August release with some amazing new stamp images and dies! I created 2 sample cards featuring some of the new dies from the release. But first, here is a peek at all the wonderful NEW products available now on the Lalaland Crafts shop:

My first card sample features the new Baby Rattle die, Scroll Corner die, Baby Clothesline Banner die and Koi Circle die.

I created a "shaker" out of the rattle die... so fun!

I used a monochromatic palette with a "pop" of pink... I like the way it came out! ♥

My next sample is a Japanese themed card, featuring these new dies: 

Lanterns die (Set of 2), Lanterns Banner die and Lattice Bracket die

I created a window using the Stitched Ribbon die set and vellum. You can see faint images of the lanterns inside the window...

The August release products are available now on the Lalaland Crafts shop HERE.

Be sure to visit the Lalaland Crafts blog this week as the design team shares projects featuring the new products. We hope to inspire you! ♥

Hello friends! I have a special project for you all today. It's Christmas in July as we introduce one of Graphic 45's newest paper collections -- A Christmas Carol!

This paper collection captures vintage Scrouge in his finest! The papers are festive, colorful and vibrant and classicly Graphic 45. I love every page! Be sure to check the Graphic 45 blog for sneak peeks of this fabulous new collection. I also share a video tutorial at the end of this post showing you how to create a bendi card of your own and I share a quick peek at all the designs of A Christmas Carol collection.

So without further adieu... here is the bendi fold card I created with inspiration from splitcoaststampers.com's tutorial website:

This was such a fun card to create, with all the dimension and holiday imagery...

I fussy cut some of the hollies and postage stamps... and added a pink rose to match the roses in the collection...

Here is the video tutorial showing you how to create a bendi fold card. I also share a quick peek at the new Christmas Carol collection:
