Club La-La Land Crafts October Kit: Winter Piggies!

Hello there inky friends!  Today I get to share my final two cards featuring the adorable new stamps in the October 2019 Club La-La Land Crafts kit.  This kit is so fun and playful!  It's perfect for my love of winter!  I love these little piggies so much!  How about you?  Have you been inspired by all the fabulous creations posted since its release?  I sure have!  

Today I'm joining Larisa, Cathy and Bobbi as we share fun projects with this kit! We hope to inspire you to create something Ahhh-DORABLE too.  

My first card features two cute little piggies having a ball out in the freezing cold environment.  They're building snowmen, making figure eights in the snow and keeping cozy in their warm clothes.  

 I gave the cute little piggie with the hat a fun hat pattern and a cozy red sweater.

I gave the second ice skating piggie a cozy blue sweater, hat and scarf.  I also added some icicles hanging down and the icy pond for them to play on.  

Copics Used:  

Pig 1: E93, V000, RV42

Shirt:  R17, R29, RV42

Ice Skating Pig: Gelly Roll White opaque pen,  B52, B12, W3, W5

My second card is a sweet pink girly card!  I wanted to feature the pinks and the whites so I used few colors on this design.  I opted for no color on my mountains and on my trees so that Marci can take center stage on this card

To  add a bit of whimsy, I stenciled (So Many Dots Layering Stencils) some white polka-dots onto the pink card base before adding the Kraft oval (Pierced Scalloped Ovals Die) and the mountain-snow scene.  

I love Marci with freckles so I added a few light freckles on her face.  I also added some "texture" to her sweater by stippling some darker teals over the light color.

After stamping the sentiment, I flicked some white acrylic paint over the whole card to create a snowy effect.

Introducing: La La Land Crafts September Kit of the Month!

Hello there inky friends!  Today I'm excited to share I'm guest designing for Club La La Land Crafts Kit of the Month for September and the September kit is just too, too adorable!  Check out the newest critter to the pack...A little mischievous mouse!  In this kit, Mr. Mouse is helping out at the lemonade stand.  He's squeezing, shaking, peeling, carrying and slurping sour lemons one right after the other!  

I created several projects using supplies from this kit (and additional products from LLLC and I'm thrilled to share a couple of them with you today.  If you're a member of the club, you'll receive a written tutorial of my first card (with link to a private video).  I hope my projects inspire you.  :)

My first card is a little twist on the sentiment "Squeeze the Day".  When I hear that, I immediately think ORANGE JUICE...SOOO...I turned my lemony themed project into an orange juice card.  

Such a fun little mouse, right?  I paired him up with a yummy glass of OJ with some crunchy ice cubes.  I mounted my images onto a Scalloped Rectangle diecut.  I also thought a yummy glass of OJ would look mighty fine against a fun plaid background so i stamped my card panel using the JUST FOR YOU background panel.  Yum, yum!

Of course I couldn't leave out a pretty bow!  I used a coordinating orange satin ribbon to add a bit of ME to the card.  :)

Coloring Details:  Copic Markers

Mouse:  C0, C1, W3, RV000, White Opaque Gelly Roll Pen

Juice:  Y11, Y15, Y35, YR65

Ice Cubes:  Colorless Blender, BG53

Next up, a LEMON SQUEEZY card!  

I decided for this card I would also highlight the cutie-patootie mice and the yummy LEMONS(ADE) diecut and the lemonade stand diecut.  I cut the lemonade stand to create a little fence instead.  These busy mice are working hard to get that lemon stand up and running.  They've got BIG plans to buy more Copics with the money they earn from their lemonade stand so they're going ALL IN for LEMONDADE!  

I started out by creating a "cheesy" polka-dotty background with the super fun double layering stencil SO MANY DOTS After creating the fun background, I moved on to coloring the mice with my Copic Markers.  I layered the pages and even tucked in a few scalloped edges of the larges scalloped rectangle diecut I made.  I knew I wanted to add the pitcher of lemonade so placed it just so at the base of the fence.  They're just a waiting for a little refreshing rest!

 I used my Copics to give added to dimension and color to the diecut sentiment. Such an adorable group of cuties, right?!

I mean look at that little fella.  He is working hard gathering the perfect lemons for his squeezy shop.

...and while the other mouse is gathering just the perfect lemons, his best bud is doing a little advertising!  50 cents is cheesy change when it comes to a good 'ole lemonade!
