La-La Land Crafts : Getting krafty!

Hello everyone!

Here's my weekly inspiration post for La-La Land Crafts, this time featuring the theme all about KRAFT!

I absolutely loooooove using kraft cardstock, as you may have noticed already! And since I wanted to make something out of my comfort zone, I challenged myself to create a scene using dies solely, around Paper Doll Marci- Witch, which was released this summer.

p.s. I'm also entering this card for the "Anything goes" Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp :-)

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps : New release blog hop!

So grab a nice hot beverage and put your feet up because you will need a few relaxing minutes to enjoy all the magical creations by our design team and guest!!

p.s. Can you guess which set I used? Yep, that's right, one of the witches and a super-duper cool coordinating sentiment! She was stamped with Desert Sand memento ink on Cryogen White, then coloured with my Copic markers and die-cut with a tag die from La-La Land Crafts. All the stitched circles were also die-cut from the same company.

Ooooooh and I've used the monthly sketch, too!
