No Matter The Weather...

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

The theme this week on the La-La Land Crafts Blog for Team Friday is

Encouragement!

I created an adorable card using a sweet image from the You Lucky Duck Clear Stamp Set from La-La Land Crafts, along with some dies & fun patterned paper. 

 

I started by creating a card base from some white cardstock and then cutting a piece of striped patterned paper from the Hello Life Paper Pack with the largest rectangle from the Scalloped Rectangles Die. I used the Nested Frames Large Die to cut a piece of polka dot paper from the Christmas Hodgepodge Paper Pack and then layered both pieces onto my card base. I stamped my greeting from the You Lucky Duck Stamp Set onto a piece of white cardstock, wrapped some crochet thread around it and adhered it to my card. I stamped that adorable duck, also from the You Lucky Duck Clear Stamp Set, with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored her with my Copic Markers. Once I had her colored in, I used the Double Stitched Ovals Die to cut out my image and popped it up onto my card front with some foam tape. I completed my card with some "raindrops" created from Glossy Accents  and a couple of pearls.

Happy Holidays Snowman Card

  Hi everyone!

I hope your day is off to a great start!

Today I am sharing an adorable Christmas card that I created using a cute image from

 Digi Doodle Studios called Joe Frost Snowman.

I'm a sucker for Snowmen! I love them and seem to gravitate towards any type of holiday decoration that has them lol! As soon as I saw this adorable little guy, I knew I just had to have him. 

To create my card, I started with a white card base and layered some striped patterned paper on top. I die cut some fun polka dotted paper, wrapped some crochet thread around it and popped it up with some foam tape for a little dimension. I colored Joe Frost Snowman with my Copic markers, fussy cut him out and popped him up with more foam tape. I added a bit of glitter to the snow he is sitting in and some glossy accents to his berries on his hat. I stamped my sentiment, popping it up with more foam tape. I completed my card by adding some snowflake sequins and a few random white Nuvo drops for a little visual interest. 

Copic Colors Used:

--Snowman Body: B0000, B000, B00, E31, E35, R20, R000, YR02, YR00--

--Hat/Jacket: 100, C8, C6, C5, C3, BG57, BG53, R27, R39, YG03, YG05, YG07, B00, B000--

 Hi everyone and happy happy Monday!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge Blog!

The theme for this challenge is...

~ Coffee ~

Let's see some Cricut inspired Coffee projects!

*Your project must include a cut made with your Cricut machine on it somewhere*

Here is a look at the project that I created to share with you today:

I love making these fun little coffee themed caddy's at the holidays! They make the perfect little neighbor or co-worker gift and they are really easy to do. I started by cutting my caddy, from SVGCuttingFiles, using some Kraft cardstock and then covering it with some Christmas themed patterned paper. I cut an oval from Gypsy Wanderings and stamped my sentiment into the center. I popped it up onto the front of my caddy with foam tape and then added some flowers that I cut out using the Lacy Labels cartridge. I added some leaves that I cut out using a punch and some berry sprigs that I cut out using a metal die. I added some red Nuvo drops to my berry sprigs and some gems to my flower centers. I used some dies from My Creative Time to create my bow and then I added a little bell to the center before adhering it to my handle.

I love these little mini coffee cups! (I purchased mine from Amazon). I wrapped them with some coordinating patterned paper and then placed a K-Cup and a soft peppermint into each cup. I added some crochet thread around the lid, added a bell and then tied it into a bow to finish my cups. Voila! Super easy but I think it is oh so cute and everyone always seems to really love them!

Christmas Tags

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

The theme this week on the La-La Land Crafts Blog for Team Friday is

Tags!

I created a couple of tags that showcase some of the Elves from the Jolly Elves Clear Stamp Set along with some Dies from La-La Land Crafts.

To create my tags, I used the Nested Frames Large Die for my base. I cut it out twice for each tag, once in light blue and then again in white. I used the Double Stitched Ovals Die on my white piece to form a hill along the top, leaving the bottom shape intact so that I could line everything up. Once I had my little hill created, I stamped my greeting from the Christmas Postcard Stamp Set with black ink, added a bit of glitter along the top edge & popped it up onto my blue piece with some foam tape. I cut some trees from some white cardstock using the Stitched Trees Die and tucked them behind my hill. I stamped two of the Elves from the Jolly Elves Stamp Set and colored them with my Copic Markers. Once I had them colored, I fussy cut them out and added them to the front of each tag. I took a little bit of white acrylic paint and flicked it onto my tag with a stiff paintbrush to create my falling snow. I completed my tags with a fun little bow that I created using some paper from the Hello Life Paper Pack, the Stitched Bow Die and a few jingle bells. I added some red Crochet Thread and left it extra long so that it could easily tie to a package. I can always trim off the excess at the time and I will write the recipients name on the back of the tag.

I kept both tags pretty much the same. The only differences are the Elf images and the color of Jingle Bells used. So super cute!!

  Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

The theme this week on the La-La Land Crafts Blog for Team Friday is

Naughty or Nice!

I created an Christmas card that features the Christmas Sweater Luka Rubber Stamp along with some Dies from La-La Land Crafts.

I created my card by making my card base from some red cardstock and then using the Scalloped Rectangles Die to cut out a white layer to add on top. I used the Fireplace Die and some gray cardstock to create my Fireplace, adding a little fire to the inside by using the Camp Fire Die. I used the Staircase Die to cut some Garland to decorate the mantel, along with some little red bows. I added some Stockings from the Fireplace Die and added a bit of chunky glitter to the white areas for a bit of sparkle. I stamped Christmas Sweater Luka with some black Memento Ink and colored him with my Copic markers. Once I had him colored in, I cut him out using my Scan N Cut and popped him up onto my card with some foam tape. I added a bit more glitter to the stocking that he is holding as well as some Glossy accents to the tree on his sweater. I completed my card by using the Joy Die and cutting it from some red cardstock and adding a little red bling to the dot on the J as well as to the centers of the bows. 

I think this turned out so cute!!
