Welcome to another Inspiration Friday with the La La Land Crafts design team! We hope you play along with us this week -- the theme is "Fun in the Sun!" And the new dies & Hawaiian stamps from La La Land Crafts perfectly compliment this theme! :-)
I used Hula Marciand some of the new LLLC dies on my project today... isn't Hula Marci just adorable?! ❤
I attached the sun from the Cloud, Sun & Island die set at the center and pulled on it lightly to make it "pop" from the card... an easy way to create dimension! ❤
The little turtle comes with the Hula Marci stamp set... he is floating around the ocean with his little fish friends that I fussy cut from the Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue papers. The "ocean" was created using La La Land Crafts Wave Border dieand some of the Tropical Travelogue paper. Super fun! ❤
I die cut the Palm Tree with my Vagaboond using kraft cardstock, then used my Ranger Distress Inks to color it up... I added brown Recollections pearl bling as the coconuts...
I always finish up the inside of my cards by bringing in some of the design paper and elements to tie everything together...❤
I hope you enjoyed my project today! Be sure to head over to the La La Land Crafts blog for more inspiring projects from the design team!
