Pretty Marcie...

This is another fun stamp from La-La Land stamps. I colored her with Copic markers and made her a blonde this time. These stamps color very well with Copics. For the background, I cut out various papers with a Spellbinders Blossom die and some flower punches. I think this is a fun little card that could be used for many occasions.

Thanks for stopping by today.

A Birthday Card with La-La Land!

Well, a sundress might be a little comical in New England these days, as the Seattle area likely has had more sun in the last week than we have had.

For this card, I stamped the image in Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. She is completely cut out and layered to a taupe colored oval cut with the Spellbinders petite ovals and a matching scallop oval. I used a fun birthday paper on card - to help get into the festive spirit and added a happy birthday image popped up in a layered scallop circle. Quick and easy - good for kids and adults alike!

Thanks for coming by!

Delight in the Unexpected...

Sorry I have been so bad about posting. I always have great plans - just don't always seem to execute them as well as expected.

This card features Marcie - one of the characters from LaLa Land Crafts - which is one of the newer companies that we recently picked up for the store. In this image, she is sitting, which always poses a challenge for designing a card, so I had her "sit" on a piece of ribbon. She is colored with Copic markers and cut out. I used an EK Success border punch on 2 different pieces of cardstock - one is an embossed cardstock from Bazzill and the other is a print cardstock from Kaiser. After punching out the borders, I butted the 2 ends together on a lighter purple Bazzill layer, put that on a green layer and wrapped the ribbon piece around where the 2 pieces came together. Then I mounted all that onto a darker purple card and attached Marcie with foam tape so she is sitting on the ribbon. The words are from Hero Arts - I stamped them on green cardstock (same color as the green layer below), then punched them out with a circle punch and added a purple scallop circle cut from a Spellbinders die. That is also attached with foam tape.

Thanks for coming by today!

Another New Company for Stamped Designs - La-La Land Stamps

We have picked up another new stamp company here at the CHA show. La-La Land Stamps! These are character images that work wonderfully with Copics. In fact, they work so well that the demonstrators in the Copic booth were using these images for demos. The card shown is a sample that was on display in their booth at the show. They are great images and for those of you that prefer mouths on your little people images, these stamps might be for you. I have seen them on some of the popular blogs out there and I think that they will make some wonderful cards. Designed and made in the USA - we should have faster shipping!

We are actually leaving LA a day early due to the snowstorm that is bearing down on the midwest and northeast. Made for a very busy day trying to drop off orders and check with some vendors as to how long the show specials last, so I can write some orders after returning to New Hampshire.

Thanks for paying us a visit today!
