Ah! La Carte : Défi Calendrier de l'Avent

Bon matin!

Aujourd'hui sur le forum, je vous présente ma lettre au Père Noël, avec une carte qui sort des boules à mites. Elle a été faite il y a une petite éternité, mais jamais publiée, alors pourquoi pas! L'étampe est de LDRS Creative, avec des papiers de Teresa Collins et des fleurs de Wild Orchid Crafts, tous disponibles en boutique.

Venez voir mon défi sur le forum par ICI.

LDRS Creative : Summer!

Hey there!

I just wanted to show you this oldie but goldie card made with Summer, a stamp from the Saturated Canary line at LDRS Creative. She's now retired, but I thought she'd be purposeful with the beautiful weather we've been having lately.

A few close-ups...

LDRS Creative - Fly By

Hey LDRS Creative fans!

How's summer so far? I'm here to share a new Dollhouse card featuring Fly By and another greeting from the Best Friends sentiment set, a favourite of mine!

Want to know a secret? If your markers decide to play tricks on you and go out-of-lines, just take out another one and create a shadow around your character. That's right, covering is the new thing! Since you'd be using the same colouring medium, it will automatically blend the mistake and even add more dept to your image. This way, no one will ever know you made a boo-boo and you get a fabulous, dramatic focus.

See how I did it on this gal!

I hope you'll try it, too :-)

La-La Land Crafts : Summer fun!

Good morning!

We're showing off a new inspiration post at La-La Land Crafts about Summer fun, and I wanted to show you not only one, but two cards! They both feature the same stamp (Bumble Bee Marci), sketch, dies (Open leaf flourish, Picket Fence , Filigree hearts, Filigree border) and Copic combo, but have completely different looks.

And why not see double? ;-)

Copic used:
Skin (E000-00-21-11-13-04, R20)

LDRS Creative - Danika

Good morning everyone!

I'm back with you to send a little smile in your day :) There's nothing I don't love about unicorns, they're so magical! So, when I saw this lovely Danika from the Dollhouse line, I couldn't resist. I mean, could you?!

Mmmm...that's what I thought ;-) Here's my card featuring her with a safari-kinda-look, an homemade header with three Lovely View die-cuts, and a sentiment from the Just Because set.

Thanks for being with us today!

LDRS Creative and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® are hopping!

Hi there! 
I'm with you to show how wonderful the products at Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® match perfectly the ones at LDRS Creative! I put together all the layers with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, and even got to glue the ribbon so that it would look like ruffles. In-between layers, I added lots of Crafty Foam Tape to give some dimension, and also used the amazing Dodz to keep all the embellishments in place. And of course, there's the lovely Abby Lynne from the Candibean line, coloured with Copic markers and die-cut with the smallest shape of the Darling Square die set. You can also spot a sweet sentiment from the Best Friends set stamped on a banner from the Basic Stitched Flags set.

Hope you like it!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps : Springtime friends!

Good morning!

There's a new challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps called layers! So, of course, I had to play in :) This very simple, but cute card is featuring Springtime Friends, still available in rubber, woot woot! Go and grab it fast!

Hope you like it!

LDRS Creative - Take my hand

Good morning everyone!

Stephanie with you today with a simple, yet classic and sweet creation featuring the ever cute Candibean, Take my Hand. 

Since I felt that the image was very powerful on its own, I went with a simple sketch for my card, and only added a few embellishments here and there, along with a sentiment from the Best Friends set and a Dewdrop Circle die.

Did you know we have our own video team? Make sure to follow the LDRS Creative Youtube Channel to learn a few tips on how to make these amazing products stand out!

La-La Land Crafts : Flags or Bunting inspiration!

Good morning!

Another week has passed by and I'm not ready for Spring Break to be over, that's for sure! I've been creating a lot behind the scenes for my upcoming cruise workshops and an online class I'm about to launch for Ah!La Carte, my favourite LS in Quebec.

For now though, here's my card for this week's inspiration post at La-La Land Crafts on Flags or Bunting. With all the snow we've been getting lately, I wanted to give a nice warm and cheerful look to miss Marci with Rose.

Goooood Friday morning everyone!

As I'm getting ready to go for an extra day at school in my weekly schedule (woot!), I'm posting this card for the Anything goes inspiration post at La-La Land Crafts.

Even thought we're almost into February and Valentine's day, I'm still in a Christmas mood and making cards around that, eh eh! So, this is miss Shy Marci,  stamped on my all-time favourite cardstock (Cryogen White, of course!!) with pale ink to give her a soft look (Desert Sand by Memento), and then stacked on yummy layers of papers by Kaisercraft, and a couple of matching dies, as always: Cherry Blossom Branch, Lattice Doily Border, Postage Stamps (set of 4), Scalloped Trim Banner, Snowflake Flag Banner, Stitched Elements (set of 7).

LDRS Creative - Time For Tea

Good morning lovelies!

I'm with you today to share a girly-girly card :-) I really like how the Candibean scenes are designed, as you might have noticed by now. My new card features the Time for tea stamp, that I "framed" with a double-bow and some flowers for more cuteness. Everything on this is the perfect touch for an also perfect image!

LDRS Creative : Reading a Good Book

Hey everyone!

I'm here with you on this first day of November, and of course, I have to remind you about the big SALE that's going on the brand new LDRS Creative site! So, I'm showing you a card featuring a gorgeous Cutie Pies image called Reading a good book, and you'll have absolutely no reason for not going to go and grab this set, as it's only 2.99!! Incredible offer, right? Plus, I've had this stamp coloured for a while now, and she was begging me to go hop onto a very fancy, feminine creation; here she goes...

Alright ladies and gents, short post for today, so hurry up to scoop some amazing stamps in the shop ;-)

The Greeting Farm & Ah! La Carte : Give Thanks challenge

Hey Farmers!

I can't believe it's already November, things are going way too fast lately! Well, to be honest, for the last year! So, for this month, both at Ah! La Carte and at the Farm, we decided to host a challenge regarding being thankful for something. I'm so happy to have two amazing pets in my life, and many of my friends feel the same, so I thought I'd use the Dollie with Kitty set for this card and a sentiment that says "Thank You for Being You", very appropriate in this situation, isn't it?
