CTMH Laughing Lola and Viva la Verve week 4

Good morning everyone! Happy almost Friday!

I have a cute little card to show y'all today

Yes I am still using my Laughing Lola B&T a couple 

pieces of coordinating cardstock lol. I am so

happy with how many projects I have been able

to get out of this packed! So far I am up to 2 two page

layouts and 9 cards... I think I can get one or 2 more cards :-)

My card today is following the Viva la Verve week 4

sketch over st Splitcoaststampers.com. Besides my 

Lola paper and cardstock I have used the new 

mini stamp Dotted Love stamped in black ink

and a strip of black striped grosgrain ribbon.

CTMH Laughing Lola and Viva la Verve week 3

Happy hump day! We are that much closer to a 3 day

weekend! Have any good plans? I'm not sure yet

what we're doing. Probably have a cookout

at my parents house. 

Well today I have a lovely card to show you using the 

week 3 sketch from Viva la Verve. For this

card I used paper from the Laughing Lola paper pack

as well as some gypsy cardstock.

The stamps I used are the mini A True Thank You

and a flower from the stamp set that comes with

the Laughing Lola WOTG. I stamped those in 

black and lagoon inks. I also used some
black striped grosgrain ribbon and a
jewel from the Sparkles assortment.
The last item is a 4in paper doily you can get on
the baking aisle at any craft store or grocery store.

You can get all of these supplies (except the
paper doily) at my CTMH website!
Happy Shopping!

Laughing Lola layout number two

Hello everyone! I'm back again to show you another real

simple layout I made using some of the paper from

the Laughing Lola paper pack as well as some

Gypsy cardstock and Lagoon cardstock.

Also on this layout I used some stamps from

the Paisley Perfect stamp set as well as the 

Lola WOTG stamp set. I also used Black, Gypsy,

and lagoon ink.

To create the two-color flowers and paisleys I stamped

them several times in black ink on 3 colors of cardstock then

cut them out and pieced them together. I also added Sparkles

to them and popped them up on pop dots a bit.
