Angel Lala

Hello everyone! Lisa here, stepping in to upload my very tardy card for La-La's Weekly Wednesday Challenge, featuring Angel Lala. I cheated a little with the kraft... and the leaves behind the roses... but hopefully Jane won't mind. (eek!) What a great challenge, though, don't you think? I hope you are or are planning to play with us! There's still time! You can find all the challenge details by scrolling down to the post below.

Have a La-La Lovely Day!

Tutorial - How to use (print) your Digital Stamps

Congratulations!! Now you are a proud owner of La-La Land Crafts Digi Stamps!! If you have never used digi stamps before, here is a step-by-step tutorial just for you!

Step One - Open the folder on your computer containing your Digi Stamps.


Step Two - Pick your image, right click and choose "Copy" .


Step Three - Open a new Word Document, right click and choose "Paste" .


and here it is!!


One of the great things about the digis is that you are not limited to the size of the stamp, you can print it at any size to fit your project needs!!

Step Four - Choose the size of the image for your project. Right click on the image and choose "Format Picture" .


Step Five - Click on "Size". Pick the size of your image, then click "Save".


I like printing multiple images at once, this way you save time and paper!!

Step Six (optional) - Right click on your image and choose "Copy" .


Step Seven - Right click inside of your document and choose "Paste" .


you can fill in the whole document with the same image..



..or even with different digi images to be printed on the same sheet !!


ready to print? Step Eight - Click on "File" and then from the drop-down menu pick "Print"




That's it!! Now you get the whole sheet full of printed Digi Stamps to play with!!

And here are a few tips for you:

- Print your digi stamps on the paper that you use for your projects. You can print your stamps on cardstock or watercolor paper depending on your needs.

- If you are planning on cutting your digi stamps with die cuts (ie, Spellbinders), make sure to space your images to have enough room.

- Wait for the ink to dry to avoid smudging. Remember, the printer ink is different from the ink that you stamp with. When in doubt, use your heat gun to speed up the process.

LLWWC44 - White on White Challenge

Hello La-La Land peeps! Jane here! It's my turn to host this week's challenge! Before I get started, I just wanted to thank everyone who joined us last week for Maureen's embossing challenge. What awesome entries! Congratulations to the winners!

I love the color white. It's so crisp and clean. I have been really into making cards using white on white, with color only on the stamped image. This week, the challenge is just that... everything WHITE except for the stamped image. It's really fun and not as difficult as you might think it will be.

Since I used Happy Maya on my card, she will be on sale for 20% OFF through next Tuesday! I LOVE Happy Maya and I hope that you will add her to your collection too!

Also, one player will WIN a $10 Credit towards any rubber stamps of your choice in the La-La Land Crafts store!! Three of you will be awarded this TOP THREE award badge to proudly display on your blog!
