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! ♥

Happy Monday friends!
