Club La-La Land Crafts April 2018 Club Kit

I've had a big secret, and today is the day I can finally spill the beans! La-La Land Crafts has started a brand NEW design team for the monthly Club Kits, and I get to be on it!! I am so very excited, and today is a special day because it's the reveal of the April club kit!

I say this with every club kit (I've been receiving them for the past year), but seriously...EVERY CLUB KIT IS MY FAVORITE CLUB KIT. If you'd like to subscribe, click on the Club Kit.

I'm sharing some inspiration projects here, and have more detailed information about the projects PLUS the products in the kit on my NEW YouTube channel! I'd be honored and delighted if you come have a peek and maybe even subscribe.

Video Part 2 - projects!

My first project features the stamp sets Hippos in Paradise and (the hibiscus from) Tropical Marci, along with 2 of the new die sets - Honu (Sea Turtle) and Hibiscus. These hippos just crack me up!

I paired all the new Club Kit goodies with the Nested Frames Small and the Nested Frames Large dies to really make the design pop. And, the colors I chose for this design are:

hippos - C7, 5, 4, 2
pink - R24, 22, 20, RV14
aqua - BG49, 45, B00
gold - YR24, Y19, 15, 11
brown - E79, 27, 25, 23, 21

I inked my background with Fossilized Amber and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks.

For my second project, I used Tropical Marci as my main character, and painted her a day at the beach. The Club Kit dies worked perfectly for this design, all of them!

I created a frame for my sentiment with the Stitched Nested Circles dies and the Double Stitched Circles dies. For colors, here's what I chose:

flower - R24, 22, 20, RV14
swimsuit - YR24, Y19, 15, 11, BG49, 45, B00
coconut - E79, 27, 25, 23, 21
hair - E79, 77, 74, 71 
skin - E13, 11, 01, 000, 0000, R22, 20 

The background was created with Distress Inks - Fossilized Amber, Squeezed Lemonade, Tea Dye, and Gathered Twigs.

Papers for both projects are by Authentique.

Thanks for popping by today!
