Good morning!
Woke up and it was raining! Yay!! I know some of you don't need the rain but we sure do. Hopefully it will continue for a few more days. Lucky for me I don't have anywhere I need to be today. So staying indoors while the rain pours sounds like a nice plan.
Yesterday was apparently World Cardmaking Day and I did squeeze in some time to make a card, not for this occasion but it seemed to coincide with the same day. Here's the card I made specifically for my niece, Scarlet, who turned 1 on October 2nd.
Another card featuring fun La-La Land Crafts Club kit stamps and dies from the April & May kits. The stamps are from the May 2015 kit as well as most of the dies. This is Celebrate You Marci. There is one die that I used from the April 2015, but most are from the May kit. Papers are from the May kit, Recollections and Neenah. I went with a purplish theme here and added some cream in to the mix. You can also see a hint of the same layout here, just substituted the balloons, streamers, cake & gifts for the branches and flowers. I colored Celebrate Marci with Copics (yes including her dress) and fun-cut her out. It took me quite some time to figure out what to write inside the banner, there are only 4 flags, but right at the end it came to me. I think it worked out nicely.
On the inside of the card (not pictured) I stamped Celebrate You Marci off the page with Concord Grape (Distress Ink) and will stamp a Happy Birthday sentiment with the same color. I am really enjoying digging in to the club kits and just yesterday I got the September one along with some older stamps & dies from last years kits. Can't wait to dig in to those. If you're interested in the kits stop by the LLLC site, there are a few different plans you can sign up for, but if you want to spend the money and get the project kit I think it's worth it. You'll still receive the dies & stamps but you'll also get the amazing projects Irina has dreamt up to create with the kit.
Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
