I am actually on vacation this month but I wanted to to create a special triple shaker birthday card to celebrate Club La-La Land Craft's 5th birthday.  

I wanted Birthday Wishes Marci to be standing next to a giant birthday cake.  I created the cake by using the Scalloped Rectangles Die Set.  To tie in the polka dots on the balloon and the "th" letters from the Birthday Word Die, I used the So Many Dots Layering Stencil Set for the icing design.  To give the illusion of a glow behind the candles, I used the Pierced Scallops Circle Die Set and the Stitched Nested Circles Die Set to create a shaker full of fun and fabulous shaker bits that are perfect for a birthday celebration.  I added the Happy Present Die as a cake topper and turned it into a fun shaker, too.  To add to the fun festivities, I created a balloon shaker using the Balloon Die that resembles a confetti ballon that when you pop it with a pin the confetti flies out everywhere to add to all the birthday fun.  Happy Birthday Club La-La Land Crafts!!!

~ Whimsy Stamps - Wishing You a Happy Day ~

Hi Everyone!

I'm back again sharing with you another project I have made using Whimsy Stamp's August Paper Door Kit.  I will have to say, this kit was pure joy to create with!  

Whimsy debuts a new Paper Door Kit on the 10th of every month.  This month's kit includes the following goodies:

- EXCLUSIVE 6x6 Whimsy Stamps designer paper pack collections with fun and creative designs on heavy weight paper with a beautiful sheen - 24 double sided sheets

- TEN sheets of 8.5 x 5.5 heavy weight neutral cardstock - in black and white

- SPECIAL EDITION 4x6 clear stamp set "Happy Sky" created exclusively for PAPER DOOR

- COMPLEMENTING "Happy Sky" outline die set to easily cut out the images from the 4x6 stamp set, designed exclusively for PAPER DOOR

-SPECIAL EDITION "Lots of Dots" mini background rubber stamp and "Rainbow Color Border" die set introduced especially for PAPER DOOR

- PRIVATE access to PDF files with step-by-step instructions for at least 4 different projects

What truly makes PAPER DOOR special is that there is no subscription...that's right...NO subscription.  You pick and choose which kit you want to receive each month!

I designed my project around the carnival stamp that comes in the Happy Sky Clear Stamp Set.  When I think of a carnival, I think of cotton candy and when I think of cotton candy, I think of the color pink.  I think this card looks deliciously sweet!

To add some texture and sparkle, I embossed the Lots of Dots Background Stamp using Versamark Ink and WOW!'s White Puff Twinkle Embossing Powder.  I really love how this card turned out.  Now I want some cotton candy...lol...Yummmm!

I took creative license in the project I am sharing with you today.  In reality, you would NOT want to be flying in a hot air balloon in a storm, however, I think this scene is perfect in getting the message across.



I just adore these hot air balloons!  They are so much fun and relaxing to color and the giraffe and zebra are so stinkin' precious!  I paired them up with Whimsy's new Array of Rainbows Die Set which fits perfectly on this slimline card design and the rainbow, clouds and lightening that come in this set really help bring the sentiment that comes in the Happy Sky Clear Stamp Set to life.  I added some die cut clouds from the Grass and Cloud Edger Die Set to pull this scene together and really give the illusion of the hot air balloons floating up in the sky.

~ I Can't Get Enough of Club La-La Land Crafts! ~

Hello My Crafty Peeps!

I am back sharing with you a couple more projects I have made using Club La-La Land Craft's July 2019 Kit.  You can see my other projects using this kit HERE, HERE and HERE.

Here is a quick peek at what stamp and dies came in July's Product Kit.



My first project is full of Christmas Spirit, Ho-Ho-Ho and a Cup of Joe!  Or hot cocoa, tea or a cuppa of your favorite toddy...whichever delights your taste buds!  But after a long night of delivering presents, Santa Hammie prefers a hot cup of peppermint cocoa and his favorite almond meringues....yummmmmm!



I absolutely love finding different ways to use my dies.  Not only did I use the
whipped cream die as whipped cream on top of the hot cocoa with some White Opal Liquid Pearls on top for added whipped dimension but I turned them into almond meringue cookies and Santa Hammie's Santa hat.  The candy cane is actually the fancy "f" from the Coffee Word Die.  I drew in a few creative details and Santa Hammie was born!

My second creation, Hammie All Star, has the help of a hot pot of coffee, some new duds and is now ready to run a marathon!  I designed Hammie All Star's track suit after an actual velour track suit I had as a teen.  I think he looks pretty snazzy...lol



To give Hammie and his wheel a more realistic 3D look, I stamped the image out twice.  I colored Hammie and fussy cut him out.  I stamped the plaid background over the other image using my Dandelion Ink Pad, colored the wheel and the part of Hammie that will show once the fussy cut image is popped on top.  I trimmed around the wheel.  I adhered Hammie to the wheel using a double layer of foam tape.  Using my BV20 Copic marker, I added cast shadows around Hammie and the frame of the wheel.  I adhered Hammie and the wheel to my card using foam tape.  To give the coffee cup and coffee pot texture, I used Copic Blending Solution and a old piece of terry cloth.  I colored the heart to make it look like coffee was inside the pot.  The stream of coffee pouring out is actually the fancy "f" from the Coffee Word Die.
