Thinking of You - Ballerina Marci!!

Hi there... Karen here and ready to share more with you today!  As Eva mentioned earlier today, each Designer will be sharing a new card for you on a daily basis..and sometimes even a couple of times a day!  What a treat!!  So, stop by often, as we hope to continue to inspire you on a daily basis!!

Today, I am sharing this sweet little Ballerina Marci!! She is the most sweetest thing ever!! To make her sparkle a bit more, I've added some stickles onto her little tutu and to the little tiny rosette flowers on her outfit, and  on her adorable headband!  I even made a little rose type flower with a few Spellbinder's labels and added a tiny pearl and some more glitter to sparkle!!  There's a few additional pearls on this sentiment as well!!

Ballerina Marci was introduced as a digi a few weeks during our birthday celebration!  For now, we will wait just a little bit  until this gorgeous stamp appears in rubber on September 15th, along with some other stamps in our new Marci line!!

Ballerina Marci - "Thinking of You"

Don't forget... We have a new CUSTOMER GALLERY!!  Feel free to link your La-La Land creations in the gallery as many times as you would like during the month (once per card).  Then, once a month, we will have "Customer Appreciation Day" where we will choose a random winner for a PRIZE! How fun!! 

Eva and I will be back next Tuesday to share more, and do come back tomorrow to see what our next Designer has to share with you!!  You are gonna just love it!!

Enjoy the rest of your day!!

Happy Birthday and new Beginnings

Happy Tuesday! This is Eva today and last week was our last challenge, which means something new is happening!! What is that exactly? Well, instead of seeing a couple of posts a week on the La-La Land Crafts Blog, now you will get to see new creations from the Design Team EVERY single day!!

I was lucky to be the first one, and today I am sharing my first card made with Birthday Marci. This stamp was introduced as a digi a few weeks ago, but now you will have to wait until it comes back in rubber on September 15th along with other stamps in our new Marci line :-)

Marci is the CUUUTEST little girl and I keep telling everyone, "a new girlie is in town", because she is going to go places! I just know it!!! She is so fun to color and I found myself pinching her, as I was done with different stages of coloring. Of course I used Copic markers to color her in and for some reason the color red was calling me for her little dress.

Papers I used are by October Afternoon and the card base is a Silhouette cutting file, which is another favorite. My border is cut from felt using my Spellbinder border die.

And let me share about something else that is NEW!!!! We have a new CUSTOMER GALLERY and please feel free to link your LaLa Land Creations here as many times as you want during the month (once per card please) and once a month we will have a "Customer Appreciation Day" when we will choose a random customer to award a prize to... it could be YOU! *Ü*


So, how is that for fun? We hope you play along with us and share all your adorable La-La Land creations, we can't wait to see!



One more thing before I let you go :-) We are showing you yet another one of the new stamps from our new Marci Collection!! This is Sweet Dreams Marci!!!


This stamp will be available in a digi format in our online store for a LIMITED time ONLY!!! Click HERE to go shopping!! Irina even made a card with this new stamp today, click here to visit her blog :-)

Have a fabulous day!

His name is LUKA!!!

We have yet a NEW CHARACTER to share with you today!! Irina has been working hard (and enjoying every minute of it I'm sure) on her fabulous new line of stamps and she's decided to share a new stamp each week and have it available for one week only in the shop as a digi!! So far we've seen "Birthday Marci" and "Ballerina Marci" and you can see cards made with them by visiting Irina's blog HERE.

During the Blog Hop we asked you what you'd like to see join the La-La family!! Many of you gave us great ideas for new stamps, and a HUGE majority of you said that you'd like to see a BOY stamp. It's so good to know that you want him because we have one done already!! I introduce to you

Pirate Luka

is he not the MOST ADORABLE li'l pirate?? This Luka stamp will be released in our Halloween Collection. He is ready to trick-or-treat with his pillow case!! But of course this stamp can be used for any other occasion too besides Halloween, he will just hold a sack of treasures instead ;-) Luka will be a part of Marci line, well it will be more like Marci and Luka :-) And, this is also the one that Irina drew herself!! And you can now buy him (THIS WEEK ONLY) as a digi!! Click HERE to go shopping :-)

Just a reminder that "Marci Ballerina" stamp is still available in digi, but not much longer.. Only a few days left before she leaves for awhile only to be back in rubber in our first release on September 15th!! Click HERE to purchase this digi stamp :-)

And, in case you didn't know, all our digis come in sets of 2... one fully colored for your color reference and the other in digi for YOU to color. What a great deal!

Irina will share her cards made with Luka in a few days, stay tuned!!!

Hugs!!

Sweet, Chic and Glamorous!!

I wanted to make something even more special than the card with our new Marci Ballerina stamp from Marci Line, I wanted something more artsy!! I wanted to have a framed piece to display this uber adorable image, she so deserves it!!!

I went with a collage style using various elements from different companies.. I was amazed how they all went so well together!! To complement the color and the style of the elements, I colored Marci in sepia tones this time.

I really LOVE how this piece have turned out!! I have it displayed on the table in the living room right now, later I will hang it in my crafts room :-) I am not too happy with the pictures though.. I might just have to re-take them..

I used Bazzil cardstock for the photo mat. There are two embossed squares around the picture, I hope you can see it on the photos.. I made those with my Scor-Pal!!

Designer paper is from S.E.I Windsor collection called Wickham, the swirls on this paper are flocked!! So pretty in real life!!! Both the frame and the sentiment tag are from My Minds Eye. I punched the holes in the tag as it needed to be more airy :-) Leaf branch chipboard sticker is from Basic Grey Capella collection. Flourish die cut from Tim Holtz (finally I got my hands on this die, LOVE it!!!). Prima flower and filigree corner from Buttons Galore finish this piece of art :-)

As I mentioned, Marci was colored with Copics in sepia tones. I again gave her tutu a dimension by layering it. I will have a tutorial for you on how to make it within a few days :-)

Remember, you can get a digi version of this Marci Ballerina stamp in La-La Land Crafts store THIS WEEK ONLY!!!! Click HERE to go shopping :-)

Hugs!!
