Inspiration Monday - Stitching (Real or Faux)

Happy Monday everyone! You know what that means, right? It's another La-La Land Crafts Inspiration Monday. Every Monday we showcase a new and creative challenge at the La-La Land Crafts' site. The challenge this week is......Stitching (Real or Faux).

Before I start with my post, I just wanted to let you know, La-La Land is having TWO chances to win Copic Markers:

(1) If you enter our CARD CONTEST happening on the La-La Land Crafts Blog right now to celebrate Marci and Luka's 1st Birthday, you could take home a set of 36 Copic Markers....WOW!! For all the details on this amazing contest, please click HERE.

(2) However, if you VOTE on your favorite card and let us know on our Facebook page, you'll go into a separate drawing for 12 Copic Markers.... AMAZING!

Now on to the Inspiration Monday challenge--Stitching (Real or Faux)!

For my card this week I decided to use Cowboy Luka. I think he's so adorable with his Cowboy hat and little stick horsie! I ADORE him!! If you have a little boy like me who has an imagination, then this little guy is perfect for you!

Copics Used:
Skin: E000 & chalk
Hair: E29, E25, E33
Hat: E31 & chalk
Shorts: B91 & chalk
Horse: E25, R20, E31, chalk
Everything else: Paper-pieced with CTMH paper & shaded with chalk

Now, I do own a sewing machine, but I haven't used that thing in years! I used to make patchwork purses, but it's been so long that I can't even remember how to thread the bobbin, LOL! Plus, it's still somewhere in my garage so it would probably take me forever to find all the pieces for it.

Then I remembered I had a Hot Off The Press Stamped Stitches set so I went searching through my craft room....YES, I finally found it! There are several different "stitches" with this set....LOVE it. I used the zigzag one and inked it in black for the back panel and in white ink for the panel behind Luka. I did go over the ink with a white and black sharpie to make it darker.

The dps are all from Close To My Heart. The sentiment is actually a sticker from Creative Imaginations. The mocha pearls in the corners are CTMH. The 3 small star eyelets, larger star brad, and twine came from my stash. The black ric-rac came from Walmart.

You can see from the side view that I raised Cowboy Luka and the sentiment up on pop-dots.

Now don't forget you can participate in our Inspiration Challenges by linking up to our Customer Gallery! Hope to see you all there!

Hugs,
Rosie

CropStop Challenge #34-Anything Goes

If you are looking for the La-La Land Crafts Birthday Blog Hop post, click HERE.

It's Thursday y'all....YIPPEE! Just one more day until Friday and then the weekend....my time to catch up on some sleep!! My little kiddo started Kindergarten yesterday. I'm glad he was excited and had a great day! Getting up at 6:00am though was hard on the both of us. He usually doesn't fall asleep until close to midnight (even when we put him to bed at 8pm) so getting up that early is usually a recipe for disaster. But, you know what? He actually got up on his own a little after 6:30 and got ready before 7:00am....shocking! The day went great and he passed out at 8:30pm!! WOWZERS!

It's time for another CropStop Challenge, and the theme this week is....ANYTHING GOES! How easy is that?! I hope to see a bunch of you participating this week. You know if you enter, you have a chance at winning a CropStop gift certificate. So get busy and link up, okay! :)

For my project, I decided to make a Rosette Ornament (click for the tutorial). Hard to believe Christmas is around the corner. Can you believe I don't have one Christmas card made, what in the world?!?! I'll probably be buying them again this year. :( Maybe next year I will get a chance to start early, ya think?!

To make the rosette, I just used my handy dandy Scor-Pal and Scor-Tape. Most of the products came from my stash. I do know the dps are from The Paper Studio. I punched out the MS snowflake, added Stardust Stickles, and then glued a button covered in Stickles on top. The blue/crystal swirls are from Recollections.

I used a Mini Tilda on my project....CUTE, eh?! Did you know that CropStop is now carrying Mini Magnolia stamps? And, if you use my coupon code, CTRB-2, you can get 10% off. So you know what that means.....go get your shopping on so you can be ready for Christmas!

I colored this sweetie with my Copics and then added Liquid Applique to her coat and more Stardust Stickles to her present.

Do you see the dot background behind Tilda? I used a wet Q-tip (yeah, that thing you use to clean your ears, haha!) and dipped it in different colors of distress inks (Black Soot, Faded Jeans & Worn Lipstick) to make my background. Who needs a fancy paintbrush, LOL! Now, you'll want to smear some ink from your pad onto some plastic and then add a drop of water. This will prevent diluting the ink in your pad. Another tip: You don't want the Q-tip to be too wet.

Here's a side view so you can see the dimension. I cut the panel Tilda is stamped on with my Spellbinders Floral Doily Motifs. I inked the edges with Faded Jeans Distress Ink and then added Stardust Stickles around it for more bling. I also raised the panel with pop-dots.

Here's the back view. The sentiment is from CTMH.

Well folks, that's it for me! When this post goes live in the morning, I will be slowly making my way around (like a zombie) trying to get my little boy ready for school. Did I mention that I am NOT a morning person. Seriously, school should not start until 10:00am, haha! Now that my little boy is in school, my bosses want me to start working full-time....ummmmm, I'm not feeling that! I'll have to think long and hard on that one. Anyways, have a great rest of your week and enjoy the weekend!

Hugs,
Rosie

Happy Birthday Marci & Luka!!

HIP, HIP, HOORAY, Marci and Luka had a BIRTHDAY!

On August 1st, Marci and Luka finally turned ONE!

Are you ready for some birthday FUN?!

To celebrate this momentous occasion, La-La Land Crafts brought back some alumni and friends for Marci and Luka’s birthday celebration....YIPPEE!

If you are following our blog hop, you should have arrived here from Kim's blog. If you didn't arrive here from Kim's blog then definitely head over to La-La Land Crafts for the complete blog list. Your next stop is Sandie's Blog!

On top of the special guest bloggers, La La Land Crafts is offering a HUGE BLOG CANDY for this exciting event.

Take a look at this prize package!!

collage made using Smilebox

This Blog Candy contains the following: ~ Set of 12 Copic Markers in NEW 2011 colors ~ Spica Glitter Pens (set B) ~ Pack of X-Press It Blending Cardstock ~ New Scor-pal ~ Pack of ¼” Scor-Tape ~ 3 sets of 12x12 Basic Grey Collections paper packs ~ $20 gift certificate to the La-La Land Crafts Store To be eligible for this FABULOUS blog prize, you must follow the 3 easy rules listed on the La-La Land Crafts Blog. Now let’s get on to my project!. For this SPECIAL hop, I made a Birthday Pop-Up card. My MIL got a card like this for her birthday earlier in the year. It was made by DaySpring Cards. I asked her if I could have it because I knew one day I wanted to try and recreate it. Well folks....today's the day! Now, originally the card is supposed to lay flat and then you kind of squish the bottom pot together and the balloons pop-up. Mine was a little top heavy so they didn't want to stay standing up on their own. I ended up having to glue the back together so my sample doesn't fold flat. I'll have to remember to use lighter weight paper for the balloons the next time. :) There is a front side and a back side. The above picture is the front side and has Amour Luka and Sweetheart Marci. The back side, has Formal Luka and Fancy Marci. Here's a top, side view so you can see the dimension. I raised all the images on pop-dots. I hope you enjoyed my special project for this Birthday Blog Hop celebrating Marci and Luka's ONE year milestone! We have a lot of talented artists joining us in our celebration today so I hope you take the time to visit each one. You will not be disappointed!! Don't forget to head to Sandie's Blog for another amazing creation!! Hugs, Rosie

La-La Land Crafts Inspiration Monday-Winter Wonderland

Happy Monday everyone! You know what that means, right? It's another La-La Land Crafts Inspiration Monday. Every Monday we showcase a new and creative challenge at the La-La Land Crafts' site. The challenge this week is......WINTER WONDERLAND, and let me tell ya, I had lots of FUN with this one!

Before I start with my post, I would like to remind you about the CARD CONTEST happening on the La-La Land Crafts Blog right now to celebrate Marci and Luka's 1st Birthday!! The winner will get to take home a set of 36 Copic Markers....WOW!! You'll want to get your card uploaded asap because the winner is determined by FAN votes. You can purchase a digital stamp from the STORE so you can start right away. For all the details on this amazing contest, please click HERE.

Now on to the Inspiration Monday challenge--WINTER WONDERLAND

For my Winter Wonderland project, I decided to make a Diorama Card. You can find the tutorial by Curt O'Brian HERE. It was quite some work, but I found it FUN to challenge myself to do something different! There, of course, were some mistakes made along the way, but in the end I LOVE this project! I definitely have to remind myself to let things dry before working with them. I can't tell you how many times I had to add the liquid glass to Marci's boots or flowersoft to the snowman because I stuck my finger or paper on top, LOL!

For the front cover of the Diorama Card, I used Marci with Snowman. The image is colored with Copics and shaded with chalk. I added Liquid Applique to her hat, coat collar, top of her boots and the snowman's hat. I gave the snowball and snowman and coating of Polar White Flowersoft....cute, eh?!

The blue polka-dot paper behind Marci is CTMH and is embossed with Tim Holtz Snow Flurries Texture Fades Embossing Folder. I rubbed CTMH white ink over the top to bring out the embossing. The panel is cut using Spellbinders Labels 10.

Copics & Chalk:
Skin: E000, Chalk
Lips: R20, Chalk
Hair: E37. E33
Hat, Glove, Tights, Boots: R81, Chalk, Stickles, Liquid Applique, Liquid Glass (on boots)
Coat: E55, Chalk, Liquid Applique
Snowman: B91, YR02, YR04, E37, E25, Chalk, Stickles, Polar White Flower Soft

The gorgeous snowflake, background dp is from The Paper Studio. The large snowflake is a Christmas ornament. I got several bags of them from Michaels last year on clearance and finally found a good use for them! :) I also found this awesome felt, snowflake (self-adhesive) border on clearance at HL and placed it on top of royal blue cardstock for my center panel. The ribbon rose/bow combo came from a dear friend who lives in Romania. I added silver glitter brads (the Paper Studio) to the ribbon rose and snowflake for added bling. To finish it up, I placed clear rhinestones in the corners, and a crystal garland around the left side.

Here's the inside view. The card flips open to reveal a diorama on the inside.....cool!

I used the oh-so-cute Luka on Sled for the inside. Luka is colored with Copics and chalk and Tuffy the dog is colored with Distress Inks (I'm branching out and trying new things).

Copics & Chalk:
Skin: E000, Chalk
Hair: E29, E25, E33
Pants/Scarf: B91 & Chalk
Hat/Sweater: E31 & Chalk
Sled: YG91, C3, Chalk
Tuffy the Dog: Distress Inks (Old Paper, Walnut Stain, Black Soot)

For the inside top panel, I used more of that snowflake dp from The Paper Studio. The sentiment is from CTMH Snow Friends. I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I cut the frame using my Spellbinders Labels 10 and distressed it with Walnut Stain. Then I used my Liquid Pearls to add little dots around the sentiment to mimic little snowflakes. The snowman is a button. I cut the back loop off and glued him down.

Here's the bottom inside Diorama. I used the same CTMH polka-dot paper for my background. I tore some white paper to make the hill and then embossed it with D'vine Swirls. The frame part of the diorama is embossed with Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. I added Stardust Stickles to the inside and outside border and on top of the dots.


That's the end folks! I hope you enjoyed my Diorama Card! You should definitely give it a try. Just remember is does take some time so don't try it right before a deadline like me, LOL! Remember, you can join us for this challenge and upload your cards to our Customer Gallery. We draw a winner at the end of the month for some free goodies!

Have a great week and check back here on Wednesday for an awesome Birthday Blog Hop!!

Hugs,
Rosie

CropStop Challenge #33-Use those Pearls!

Happy Thursday everyone! I'm back with another CropStop Challenge for you.....USE those PEARLS! It can be any kind of pearls.....liquid pearls, solid pearls, self adhesive pearls...whatever pearls you got!

For my card today, I used a combination....Liquid Pearls and black/orange self adhesive pearls. I added small White Opal Liquid Pearls as a border around the green dp. Then I blinged up the corners with Recollections orange & black pearls that I got from my sweet, and generous friend Chris from A Scrapper's Musings. We met online through a Yahoo group and started emailing back and forth. Now, we send each other care packages filled with crafting goodies, of course! It's amazing the friendships that can develop even though you've never met the person face-to-face. She is someone I treasure for sure!

My dps came from Recollections Ravenhead Manor paper pack. The ribbon came from Michaels. I used my Bow Easy to tie that awesome double-loop bow! The rose is from WOC and I colored it black with my Copic Black. I found an old tag from my stash and hand-wrote Trick-or-Treat. I edged all my papers with Black Soot Distress Ink.

My image, Jolly Roger Tilda, is stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo Ink and colored with Copics and chalk. I paper-pieced her dress and head scarf. Then I added Stardust Stickles to the little polka dots.

Here's a side view. I popped Tilda up on pop-dots for added dimension. I cut the black scrolls in the corners with a die from the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Doily Accents.

Did you know that CropStop is now carrying the Mini-Magnolias?!?! Check them out in the store here!! I'll be having some Magnolia Candy coming your way soon, so keep checking back. Don't forget, when you place your order at CropStop, use my discount code, CTRB-2, to get an additional 10% off your order...NO MINIMUM! Happy Shopping!

La-La Land Inspiration Monday-Christmas Card or Ornament

We would love for you to play along with us. All you have to do is link your projects using a La-La Land Crafts image to our Customer Gallery.

This week we challenge you to make a Christmas Card or Ornament.

Before I start with my Inspiration post, I would like to remind you about a contest happening on our La-La Land Crafts Blog right now!!
To celebrate Marci and Luka's First Birthday, we have a CARD CONTEST going on!! The winner gets to take home a set of 36 Copic Markers....WOWZERS!! You'll want to hurry and get your card uploaded asap because this time the voting is done by all of our FANS!

For more details click HERE.

Now on to Inspiration Monday...making a Christmas Card or Ornament!

I decided to make a Christmas ornament with Caroling Luka. I think he's so adorable holding his wreath and song book. He was an absolute doll to color too! That's what I love about these La-La Land images....they are so much FUN to color!!

Coloring Medium: Copics & Chalk
Skin: E000 & chalk
Hair: E29, E33
Hat: E31 & chalk
Coat: E25, chalk, liquid applique/Pockets: R39, YG97, chalk
Shirt: R39, YG97, chalk
Pants: E31 & chalk, liquid applique
Shoes: E25 & chalk
Wreath: YG97, G24, R39
Book: YR23, chalk, YG97

Recently, I purchased the 2011 BH&G Holiday Crafts magazine. I LOVE the various Christmas ideas featured in this magazine!! One of the ideas was a vintage Holiday Starburst created by Lana Manis. The starburst used rolled vintage book pages to create a hanging ornament. I love the idea and it's definitely something that can be used for different holidays, not just Christmas. I have so many ideas running through my mind for home decor too.

Here's a picture of my paper Starburst. I found an old paper back book in the garage for my project. I cut a total of 32 rectangles and distressed the edges with Worn Paper and Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I cut the scallop circles behind my image using my Spellbinder Nesties. I embossed the middle panel with Cuttlebug Snowflakes and inked the edges with Old Paper and Walnut Stain Distress Ink. Luka is raised up on pop-dots.

Here's a back view. I used a chipboard square and covered it with the book paper. Then I twisted wire into a hook, pushed the other end into the square, folded it up on the other side and glued it down to hold it. The rolled paper is just glued down to the front of the square.

Here's a picture of my ornament handing on the wall.

And, the side view.

You'll definitely want to check out the BH&G Holiday Crafts Magazine because there are so many wonderful ideas inside it. I have several I want to try out, for sure! Also, don't forget to check the La-La Land Crafts blog on Friday for more inspiration from my fellow DT sisters! They are amazing as always!

Rosie

CropStop Challenge #32-Back to School

Happy Thursday everyone!! You know what that means.....just one for day until TGIF! This week at CropStop the challenge is to make a card/project with a Back-to-School theme. My little boy starts school on August 24th so we've been really busy getting ready.....mostly shopping for back to school clothes and supplies. My main challenge is getting his sleeping schedule back on track! He's starting full-day kindergarten so getting up really early is going to be a huge challenge (especially since he's a night owl and doesn't like to fall asleep until midnight). I'm telling ya, that boy is like the energizer bunny!! If I could just bottle that energy and sell it, I would be a millionaire!!

Before I get to my project, don't forget I have a 10% off coupon code (CTRB-2) that you can use at CropStop during checkout. The beauty of this coupon code is that there is no minimum order...YEA!!

Okay, on to my Back-to-School project.....a sweet and simple card and paper backpack. I've got lots of pictures, so grab a cuppa tea or coffee, haha!

Up first, is my card. I kept it pretty simple because I wanted the school dps from TPC Studio Homeroom paper pack to shine through. That cute little boy is Luka with Truck. Hmmmmm, where's the truck, you ask? Well, I cut around his hand and arm and used a book sticker over the truck to make him into a school boy. Now, he reminds me of my little boy getting ready for school...pretty clever, huh?! :)

The cute little sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations Classic Message set. I LOVE the various sentiments and font style of this set! I stamped it with a VersaMark Pad and then used Stampendous Detail White Embossing Powder. The powder is extra fine so it works really well with detailed stamps. The ruler was cut from a dp in the same pack and the pearls are CTMH. I edged all my paper with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

Here's a close-up of Luka with Truck. He was colored using Copics and Chalk.

Skin: E000 & chalk
Hair: E29, E37, E33
Shirt: E55 & chalk
Coat: YG97, E25 & chalk
Pants: B91, B93, chalk
Shoes: E25 & chalk

Now, on to my stinkin' cute paper backpack! I bought the template from My Time Made Easy here. You can buy the cutting files for various machines, but instead of pulling out my Cricut, I just printed everything using the PDF file and cut it by hand. It wasn't hard...just a little time consuming!

I used my amazing Scor-Pal which made it super-duper easy to get everything scored quickly and accurately....LOVE that thing!! I also used my Scor-tape and Fabri-Tac glue to put it all together. If you have never tried Scor-tape, you don't know what your missing! This stuff is AWESOME! It comes on a roll and you can easily tear off pieces (no scissors required). Plus, is extra sticky so it holds like nothing else!

The dp paper on the backpack is also from the TPC Studio Homeroom paper pack. The large fabric brad is from The Paper Studio and the small metal brad is CTMH. Do you see the charms?? The heart came from my stash. But........I made a shrinky dink Luka, hee, hee! I took the close-up picture of Luka from my card above, and printed it on special shrinky dink plastic. I cooked it in the oven and it turned into a hard plastic charm....cool, heh?! The other great thing is you can print pictures on this special plastic. I've got all sorts of ideas for the holidays running through my head!

Here's a side view so you can see the dimension. It's big enough to put a little snack in there. I used a magnet for the top flap and velcro for the little pocket flap. It's just sooooooo darn adorable!! I wish I had the time to mass produce these for Isaiah's classmates!

Here's a back view so you can see the straps.....totally makes it realistic!

Well, you've finally reached the end of my post....long one, huh! I hope it inspires you to make something for back-to-school. Don't forget to check out the CropStop blog to see more inspiration from my fellow DT sisters! You've got until Wed., 11:00pm EST to link up your project for a chance to win a CropStop gift certificate. Need some supplies now?? Then head on over to the store and use my Coupon Code, CTRB-2, to get 10% off!!

We would love for you to play along with us. All you have to do is link your projects using a La-La Land Crafts image to our Customer Gallery.

Now on to Inspiration Monday...making your own paper/chipboard embellies! As many of you know, embellishments can get pretty pricey. What better way to save some extra dollars than to make your own embellishments. There are so many tutorials and YouTube videos out there that walk you step-by-step on how to make your own paper roses, flowers, buttons, etc. Crafters & Technology are an AWESOME combination, aren't they?!

I used the adorable Scout Marci for my Inspiration this week. Isn't she sweet with that little butterfly resting on her hand?! Those of you with brownies/girl scouts and cub/boy scouts know how difficult it is to find these types of images.
Irina did a fabulous job creating these cuties so be sure to head on over to the store and snag one for yourself! We even have some images as digital files for immediate gratification!!

Coloring Medium: Copics & Chalk
Skin: E000 & chalk
Lips: R20
Hair: E29, E37, E33
Shirt & Shoes: E31 & chalk
Skirt: G21 & chalk
Sash: G24, chalk, Y02, R27, G28, BV08, B04, YR23, R20
Butterfly: B04, G21, YR04, Y02, BV08, Stickles

My handmade paper embellishments are the carnation, rolled roses, and butterflies. For the carnation, I layered several scalloped circles on top of each other. I spritzed each circle with water and placed a brad in the center. Then I just started scrunching each circle layer towards the middle. Once it dried, I opened up the layers a little and covered them with Stickles.

For the rolled roses, I cut a large circle (can't remember what size now) with scalloped edged scissors (yeah, I went old school, haha!). You draw a spiral circle toward the middle and cut along the lines. Then you roll it starting from the outside edge. You can find all sorts of tutorials online if you just do a search for rolled roses. Again, I covered the edges with Stickles.

The butterflies were double punched using a Martha Stewart punch. I glued the bodies together and raised up the wings. I also covered them in Stickles.

The dps are from The Paper Studio Affinity paper pack. The roses and carnation were made using CTMH paper. I love that their paper has designs on the front and back side. It makes the flowers/roses prettier when you roll them. I used a white paper doily from my stash. The white and chocolate pearls are also CTMH.

I embossed the sentiment from Heartfelt Creations Classic Message with Stampendous Detail White Embossing Powder.

Now don't forget you can play along and upload your creations to our Customer Gallery.

Head back to the La-La Land Crafts Blog on Friday for more Inspiration from the lovely and talented Team Friday.

Have a wonderful week!

Hugs,
Rosie

La-La Land Blog Candy Winner!

Happy weekend to you all! Sorry I'm late in posting the winner of my La-La Land Crafts blog candy that was originally posted on 07/18..... Luka with Truck. I've been on vacation visiting my mom in WA and thought I was flying back to OK on Tuesday, but we actually flew back Wed. The past few days have been rough trying to get readjusted to the time difference. It's only a 2 hour difference, but man it felt like I was hit by a freight train. Part of that may have been because we had to get up at 3am on the day we flew out to get to the airport on time. Wowzers that was tough for a 5-year-old....poor guy was exhausted!

I want to say that I loved all your amazing comments on my Pilot Luka card! I wish I could give you all a stamp, but unfortunately I don't have that kind of money. :( I really do appreciate the wonderful things you all had to say. I will have some more candy coming soon so keep coming back, okay. Now, on to the winner...................

Jacqui !!

(jacqui' bunnyears blog)

Congratulation Jacqui!! Email me your mailing address and I will get your candy in the mail to you! It will have some additional goodies with it! :)

Have a great weekend and don't forget to check back here on Monday for another La-La Land Crafts Inspiration Monday!!

Hugs,
Rosie
