Keep On Skating Marci

Hi Guys, my name is Kim Dellow and today is my first official day as a La-La Land Crafts DT member. I am so excited to be here with you and to be able to play with these gorgeous stamps. 

I thought I would go for a heart warmer for my first DT make, seeing as it is turning cold here in London, UK. I've used the super cute Ice Skating Marci.

Isn't she just a sweetheart?

Hope you have a heart warming day.

Kim

Free Pattern: Infant Leg Warmers

I made these leg warmers for my little #2 out of cotton yarn, since we live in the land of heat and sun. If you live up North, you may want to choose a warmer yarn, like a wool blend.


This is approximately a 3-6 month size.
(Advanced Crochet Note) If your kid is super chubby, like mine, you may want to increase sooner or be sure to crochet loosely. These turned out a little snug on my girl’s calves.

 

For a 6-9 month size, see modification after the pattern.

Sweet Treats with Santa Marci!!

Hello there..it's Karen, and I am here sharing Santa Marci with you today!!  I decorated this 3x5 kraft treat bag with peppermint stick candies! 

You could actually fill the treat bag with anything, but I decided to choose peppermint sticks!  During winter time, our family loves to dip peppermint sticks into hot chocolate! Yum!! I also added some crystal glittter to Santa Marci's hat, dress and top of her shoes for a little sparkle!! 

If you have some projects that you would love to share with us, please upload to our Customer Gallery!  We'd love to see your creations!! Each month, we randomly chose a lucky winner!  So, upload as many times as you would like!!

Have fun creating, and thanks for stopping by today!! If you get a chance, scroll down and see what our newest Guest Designer, Debbie, has created today with Birthday Marci!  It's so precious!!

Hugs & Smiles,
Karen

My First Post for La-La Land

Hi everyone - my name is Debbie I'm just sooooo excited to be here as GDT for La-La Land for the next few months - it's a long way from Australia to La-La Land but the trip is sooo worth it - LOL! I thought my first post should be all about celebrating - and what better way that with the gorgeous Birthday Marci. I just LOVE her sweeeeet face - she would bring a smile to anyone's face - a bit like the HUGE grin I had when I got invited to play over here!

I've paired her with some Pink Paislee DP and some shapes cut using my nesties. The small tassle is from Christina Re. The border punch is Martha Stewart.

Thanx for having me - and like Arnie says - I'll Be Back!

Another Sakkalo's Zigzag card

Yippee, Friday! Happy Friday, Marci and the gang fans!

I love fun fold cards and when I discovered this Sakkalo's Zigzag card on Stamping Owl's blog, I made a bunch of blank cards (card bases) so when I need one, I have it! I made THIS first one and love it so today, I am sharing another one!

For today's card, I used Birthday Marci. I like to send Birthday cards to my friends and family on their birthdays (although they are late most of the time LOL) so Birthday cards always come in handy for me. I colored Marci with Copics. Sentiment is by Papertrey Ink.

This card measures 5.5 x 6.



Before I let you guys go, just a little reminder that today is the Trunk Show at Scrapbook Island in San Jose, CA. Both Eric and Irina will be there to introduce our Marci and Luka stamps!! If you are in the area, stop by and have fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, everyone!

Caroling Luka

Hi everyone! Lisa here, popping in to share a card I created showcasing Caroling Luka. Could he be any cuter???? And, yes, he's singing Joy to the World just for you! By using DP with a scene already featured, this card came together quickly and easily, which just goes to show you don't have to spend hours to make a card with a lot of pop... especially when the stars are Luka and Marci!

If you're in the San Jose area, don't forget the Trunk Show tomorrow at Scrapbook Island!

Have a la la lovely day!

Marci is Skating by

Howdy folks, Jana here. I'm back with another Marci card, and this time she's hit the ice! Presenting, Ice Skating Marci, isn't that little plaid skirt adorable?? I love paper piecing!!

I used some Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather dp for my background, and another piece from the same pack to make Marci's skirt. I colored her with Copics, and cut her out. To build my scene, I started with the background, and the oval cut from shimmery white paper (which is what Marci was also stamped on...it works fabulous for copics!!) to make my ice rink. Then, I sponged the edges of 2 darker trees, added some polar white flowersoft to one side (because the sun melted it on the sunny side!) and put them BEHIND my ice. next, I used to ligther green trees (also sponged and snowed) to enclose my rink a little more. Finally, I added the felt snowdrift at the bottom to hem in the last bit of the rink.

And if you're in the area, join us at a Trunk Show at Scrapbook Island in San Jose, CA on Friday, November 5th!!  Both Eric and Irina will be there to introduce the Marci and Luka stamps!! 

Your $10 ticket entitles you to:

- an EXCLUSIVE preview of our newest stamps!!

- Meet both artists (Eric Berry and Irina) and have your stamps autographed!! ;-)
- Make-and-Take

- a Goodie Bag with a FREE stamp

- Refreshments

- a chance to win a GRAND PRIZE valued $100!!
