LLLC Inspiration Friday - "Rainbow"

Hi everyone and welcome to another La La Land Crafts Inspiration Friday! This week's challenge.... "rainbows!"

Today I created a card using cute little Mod Marci. I just LOVE her hat and stylish flair. I wish I had curls like those too. hehe! I colored her up with my Copic markers, fussy cut her and popped her up on dimensionals over a landscape I created using a number of My Favorite Things Die-namics. The sentiment is from one of MFT's Clearly Sentimental clear stamp sets. The flowers are by I Am Roses.

Here are some pictures:

La-La Land Crafts: Inspiration Monday!

Hi everyone! I'm here again today for La-La Land Crafts Inspiration Monday. I've been having a BLAST playing along with the LLLC design team this month and am super excited to have another full month in July to create with Irina's uber talented designers.

This Monday's challenge is to create a circle card! I decided to color up Ballerina Marci. Believe it or not, I have never colored her up before. I had so much fun coloring her with my Copic markers... I just ADORE her!

First, here are some pics...

Color Medium: Copic markers & At You Spica Glitter Pen

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R20

Eyes: BG01

Lips: R20

Hair: C3, C5, C7, C9

Hair tie: R000, YR00, G24, Peach At You Spica Glitter Pen

Dress/Shoes: R000, YR00, Peach At You Spica Glitter Pen

I used Graphic 45's Once Upon A Springtime papers and lots of I Am Roses flowers to embellish around Ballerina Marci. I cut the circle card using my Spellbinders Circle and Scallop Circle Grande Nestabilities. Do you spy glitter on the trim of Marci's skirt and on the large white rose? I love the Martha Stewart extra fine glitter -- adds the perfect touch of shine to any project. The tear drop pearls are from my friend Karla's Etsy and the butterflies are punched out using Martha Stewart butterfly punches. I fussy cut a fairy from the paper collection and have her blowing kisses at Marci... love it! hehe!

Be sure to check out the La-La Land Craft blog to see what the other Team Monday designers have to share with you. We also encourage you to play along and post your card(s) over at the LLLC Customer Gallery! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

I used 2-way glue and Art Glitter to create the shimmery effect on the mermaid's "fins." I placed a Rolled Flower, dry embossed before assembled, in the center of a Rolled Daisy. I love the look and the dimension. The sea shells are from my stash and I thought they added the perfect touch to this "under the sea" card!

MFT Teasers - à la Modes Day 2!

Hi everyone and welcome to MFT's 2nd day of à la Modes teasers where the design team will be showing you the new and SUPER cute (and HIP, may I add) You are Unrepeatable - à la Modes.

I created this A2 card using some BoBunny Vicki B papers from my stash. I colored up the image using my Copic markers... is she not stinkin' adorable?! I just love that MFT has come out with stamps that are true to every day life -- I mean, come on...  who doesn't have an iPod, right?! LOL! I layered her on top of MFT cardstock in Pink Lemonade and Hot Fudge and added a Leafy Flourish to the corner, cut out with the DP. Underneath, I added a Simply Scallop Large cut with Chocolate Fudge cardstock. The sentiment is stamped onto the corner of a Textile Rectangle die cut and I have it peeking out from under the layers. The luscious pink bow was made using the satin ribbon from MFT's Pink collection of ribbons. I used one of the pink Bazzill Button Blings from my stash to the center.

Here's a close-up...

Inside the card, I stamped à la Modes girl again onto white cardstock and layered it onto more Pink Lemonade and Hot Fudge cardstock. I added two Simply Scallops Large die cuts staggered over each other, then added a Leafy flourish to repeat the design from the front of the card. I stamped the HB2U sentiment from the set... and there ya go!

Here are some details about the release this Tuesday night:

• The MFT release is on June 21st at 10 PM EST.

La-La Land Crafts Monday Inspiration Challenge

Hi everyone and welcome to La-La Land Crafts Monday Inspiration Challenge! Today I am sharing a card I created using the adorable Sweet Dreams Marci.

I used the Botannical 6x6 paper stack by Prima, colored up Marci using my Copic markers, popped her up on boosters and layered her on top of design paper and kraft cardstock. All the edges are distressed with my Tim Holtz paper edger and Ranger Vintage Photo distress ink.

The challenge theme this week is to play with pearls, lace and punches! I added some Prima lace trimmed with half-back pearls. The sentiment is stamped on a label I punched out with an EK Success Punch and the leaves around the flowers were punched out using Martha Stewart punch. I added a few additional pearls and butterflies (Martha Stewart punch) with pearls to accent the card. I included a banner behind Marci anchored with brads and some I Am Roses flowers distressed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Here are more pics...
