Lazy Days of Summer - I am back!!

Hi all, I know I have not posted about anything besides my new baby, my new company, La-La Land Crafts for awhile.. You know why? I have been SUPER BUSY with it!!! But now I am BACK!! I made a card today with Tilda stamp from the new Lazy Days of Summer Collection. I just adore her!!! So CUTE!!!

This card measures 6" x 6". There is tons of stuff going on on this card, I had tons of fun making it and took tons of photos to show you everything ;-)







Can you tell I really LOVE this new paper by Best Creations!! It has such summery look and is just perfect to use with Tilda. This Tilda stamp is from the new Lazy Days of Summer Collection by Magnolia, she is called Strawberry Tilda. Tilda was stamped with Memento ink, colored with Copics and cut out. I applied Crystal Effect to the water can and also the flower. Crystal Stickles on the flower, Tilda's hair and her shoes. I got a GREAT tip from my friend (and my DT Coordinator) Jane, she advised me to store my White Gel pen vertically upside down, this way it is always "juicy". It makes such a huge difference, thanks for the tip Jane!!

For the fence I cut the strips of the Coconut Swirl cardstock and used the corner punch to make the points on the top of the planks. I then run them through the Cuttlebug with one of my Cuttlebug embossing folders (don't remember the name of it, sorry) to give them some texture. Copper brads for the nail heads.

For the grass on the bottom of the fence I have used Flower Soft in Shamrock Green. Flowers were punched out with Fiskars punch. Pink pearl stickers in the centers of the flowers.

The envelope was made out of double sided designer paper (again by Best Creations) using the Enveloper. I made a dimensional envelope for this card so it is displayed inside of it nicely.. And, because the paper is double sided, I got an instant lining!! Nestabilites Labels One on the front of the envelope.

All of the supplies used to design this card (including this Tilda stamp) are available for purchase at Cranberry Hill Mercantile. If you don't live in the area, please call the store at 408-736-9151 during business hours to place your order.

I will be out of town for a few days, I will show you the second card for this class when I come back..

Hugs!!
