La-La Land Crafts June New Release Day 1!

Hi everyone! It's that time again...time for a La-La Land Crafts NEW RELEASE!! This one is huge:

Can someone say...WOWZA! I'll be sharing my designs with these new products over the next 3 days, so let's get movin'!

My first design uses the new Best Mates photopolymer set - these guys are so cute, I want to pinch their chubby cheeks! I also used the Funky Squares stencils and the My Anchor background stamp sets.

My second card is one of my FAVORITES for this release - I love this combination of colors together, and I just really love the Life Preserver die and trying some different things with it. Here I've used it as a kinda-frame for Sitting Mermaid Baby Marci. I've also used the new Seas The Day background stamps for the sunny backdrop.

Oh my! - I didn't realize I had so many makes for today with that Life Preserver! Here, I love the shape it gives to the background. I also love how the Ropes die makes a wavy topper for my anchors. The new stamps here are Summer Dress Molli and My Anchor background stamps.

My last design for today showcases the new Water Ripples layering stencils set. What is special about these stencils is that you can put them on top of one another to create beautiful patterns with a lot of depth to them. Here, I inked up one stencil in a variety of Distress Inks, and then overlaid the other stencil using some glitter paste. And of course, I had to color up Summer Dress Molli once again!
