Inspiration Friday with La La Land Crafts: "Anything Goes with Ribbon"!

Hello friends and happy Friday! ♥

My Inspiration Friday project for today is a sweet little card, perfect for the welcoming of that new baby girl! I'm excited that this little card made it's way into the La La Land Crafts booth at Winter CHA 2015. Super sad that I didn't get to make it to CHA this year... but there will always be next year (fingers crossed)! ♥

Here are some photos of my card below.

I love all the new dies from this release, I used a few of them on this card...

I used the new Masquerade Mask die a little differently in this project. I used it as a decorative flourish (you can see I positioned it here... upside down)! Right underneath, you can see the new Large Lacey Border die...

The Hanging Hearts and Love Word die set and Moon and Starts Banner die were perfect for this card. It's almost like a baby mobile that hangs over your little one's crib!

The sentiment is from the new Baby Luka (with Sentiments) stamp set. I stamped it onto the ornate label, which is part of the Stitched Elements (set of 7) die. At the base of my card, I added some ribbon lace, which adds a soft/sweet touch to the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today to check out my project!

Be sure to check out Team Friday's designs over at the La La Land Crafts blog today.

Enjoy your weekend and hope you set aside some time to get "crafty"! ♥
