2015 CHA La-la Land Heart Cookies Luka

This is last project from the  2015 CHA (Craft and Hobby Association which is a special show for paper crafters) held early this year. Irina from La-la Land Crafts had a booth with some fabulous Make and Takes: On this fourth and last day of the show, the Make and Take was a small shopping bag using Heart Cookies Luka found here. I changed this project into a card that measures 5-1/2" x 5-1/2".  Newly released Zig Zag die used behind Luka - die can be found here.

Here's a closer look at Luka (a Brunette),...................and don 't you LOVE those white dots on his pot holders made by suing s white gel pen?

Here is the newly released Hanging Hearts and Love die.  White gel pen is used around the heart stitches, then pop with foam squares.

Mmmmmm..........those Chocolate and pink cookies...........Clear Wink of Stella is added to "frost" the top of the cookies (doesn't show in the photo)

Card view: pop up those layers.

2015 CHA La-la Land Flamenco Marci Trinket Box

Another project from 2015  CHA (Craft and Hobby Association which is a special show for paper crafters) held early this year. Irina from La-la Land Crafts who had a booth with some fabulous Make and Takes: On this second day, the Make and Take was this Small Hinged Trinket Box found here in the on line store.  I did change the papers to a Burgundy embossed card stock and also selected some decorative Black and White paper for that "Spanish Feel".  The stamp is the newly released Flamenco Marci found here. No coloring necessary.

The fan is also a newly released die: Heart Fan die (found here) cut both in Kraft paper and Black card stock giving this embellishment dimension n texture. I smeared some Gold Viva Pen ink on the folds.

On the bottom left side, those roses have some gold smeared on them using the Gold Viva Pen, too. The leave are a Open Leaf die found here.

Here's the back of the box: the Book Tab die is used along with dots of the Gold Viva Pen for the "screws".



Front of the box has the heart lock from the Book Tab die:

The finishing touch: wooden feet adhered to the bottom using a hot glue gun:

Thank you for stopping by to visit today. I love these small hinged trinket boxes.  They make such a great gift.  Hope this inspires you to make one, too.

2015 CHA La-la Land Baby Luka (Marci) Star Shaped Box

I was fortunate to attend 2015  CHA (Craft and Hobby Association which is a special show for paper crafters) held early this year. Irina from La-la Land Crafts had a booth with some fabulous Make and Takes: On the first day, the Make and Take was a star box Baby Luka. The newly released 2015 stamp can be found here.  The easy to assemble Star Shaped Box can also be found here. The Star Shaped Box finishes 6-1/2" x 6" x 1-1/2". Newly released die: Moon and Stars Banner Die is cut apart, popped with foam squares, and randomly positioned on the front circles. Baby Luka is sitting on two clouds which are die cut from the Stitched Sun and Clouds.

Here's a closer look at Baby Luka (which I turned in Baby Marci using shades of Pink Copic colors). She is popped with foam squares. 

Overhead view of the box:

Back of box: newly released Stork die, Stitched Sun and Clouds die along with the Nested Stitched Circles die.

Here's a closer look at the embellishment in the back:

Stardust Stickles was added to the edge of the star as shown here t give some sparkle.

I did not complete my project while at CHA but did learn which Copic colors to used to color a baby face. I did end up changing the original papers used to make this a Baby Marci instead of a Baby Luka. Thank you for stopping by today, there are 3 additional CHA Make and Take projects so stay tuned.

CHA - Various Make & Takes

OK - last CHA make and takes posting.........there were more make and takes but I think this was plenty to share.....................This card was made at the Jillibean Soup Booth - gads, their products are soooo cute and inspiring. Original card was using colored pencils but I came home and used my Copics to color the numbers.  This was a card finishing 4" x 4-3/4". Note the Balloon is popped with foam squares. The touch of adhesive rhinestones is nice.

Here is a double pocket card made at the Scotch Booth: Made from one piece of 12x12  double sided paper by folding and tucking in just a couple corners. Manila tags are tucked into each pocket. paper Flowers with adhesive bling for the flower centers were supplied to create this card.

Revealing the surprise: not just any Manila tag - Manila tags that have word cut outs.  Manila tags are 2-1/2" x 4-1/2".

Card inside: I added a white card stock mat for a handwritten message,

Final project of CHA being posted: from Spellbinders.  Their embossing folder and feather die.  We used a thin glassine paper to release the detail die but many of us decided to add it to the A2 card as a subtle touch of embellishment.

Now that's it...............end of my many days of CHA make and takes.  Hope you all enjoyed what was made - there were lots more, too..............but I didn't get a chance to participate in making them..........next time........

CHA - Tombow Make & Take

Are you ready for a nice A2 card?  This one was created by the Tombow Adhesive Designers at CHA this year.  The paper used, I know is from Graphic 45.    I am told the card base is from Bazill and is already scalloped (oh so perfectly) on three sized.  All the die cut pieces were supplied for us to adhere to the card.  I added the adhesive pearls shown here after I got home.  A nice Ivory ribbon (also supplied) is a finishing touch.

Here is a closer look at the die cut pieces with adhesive pearls:

Yikes - you can not see the subtle Gelly Roll Clear Star pen used on the fence........see the next photo for a more noticeable photo:

The Gelly Roll Clear Star pen was also used on the columns shown here.....subtle shine.

Here's another quick tag that was made at one of the stand-up counter at the Tombow Adhesive booth.  I did add some soft brown sponged edges to this tag/note card. Finished project size is 4" x 3".

This project at the Tombow Adhesive booth was a wooden plaque covered with patterned paper and trim around the edges. Can you see the doily?   A covered painted white clothespin become a butterfly with some additional embellishments. Finished project size  4-3/4" diameter.

You can see the painted white clothes pin underneath the butterfly wings here;

This project can be used for holding notes, bills, mail.........................

 

CHA - Taylored Expressions Make & Take

Here are a couple fun makes and takes at the Taylored Expressions booth - their web site here. This cute coffee treat wasn't a make and take cut a treat for all.  All products are made from Taylor's new release. This little coffee pouch is 3" x 4-3/4". Love the little coffee cup (that's a Taylor Expressions die).  I added some brown ink to the edges.

And, here is an A2 card using one of the new release dies. I love the cloud background paper. The large framed tree with leaves is one big die.  The birds are a separate die popped with foam squares. The heart is a wood embellishment. 

more make and takes tom..................stay tuned.......................

CHA - Prima Make & Take

This fabulous vintage feeling tag was a make and take at the Prima booth.............you know those fabulous Prima Products!!!! The finished tag size is 3-1/8" x 6-1/4".  We started out with a plain vanilla tag, then covered it with the Prima designer paper.  There are three layers on this tag. Can you see them?  And don't you just love that adhesive button with rayon ribbon at the bottom of the tag? No stamping done here....................

You can see the three layers popped with foam squares here: The small images are part of a booklet of images from Prima's new product release - simply tear them out to embellish your project.

Darn, I was trying to show off the shiny mist - the finishing touch - on this tag.  It creates just enough subtle shine on the tag - yup, just another new Prima product!

Thanks for stopping by today to visit................yup, more make and takes so stay tuned..........



CHA - Maya Road Make & Take

Maya Road always has something fun in their booth. This is a camera made from one of their chipboard albums - it was not a make and take but I wanted to share this project to all.   It is pretty cool and inspiring. I think the lens is some sort of container wit the lid painted black. The paper is from Simple Stories.  All the other embellishments are from Maya Road - they will be posting the instructions on how to make this project some time in the near future.

Here';s a closer look at the "lens"

The side shows the box "walls" with a ring to hold the camera strap.

Yes, it really is a camera mini album using the chipboard pages.

Project back:

Now for the make and takes: this is a project made using one of the large tins, lined with a fabric flower, then position the magenta colored jute.  Attach the wood bird, message, and bird button.  Always love the Star stick pin pushed through the fabric flower. Finished project size is 3-1/2".

The second Maya Road make and take is a chipboard tag.  Finished size is 4" x 7-3/4". Look closely: for the metal paper clip, two stick pins, yellow floss as a embellishment, daisy, fabric flower (which we made from fabric by the yard), shiny flat back pearl for the center of the flower, and a pre-made fabric flower (also it can be purchased by the yard). I added the white tag which can be slipped in for a personal note.

Here's a closer look.

Do you just love it?  Stay tuned for for more make and takes.......................

CHA - Little B Make & Take

Little B is such a cute manufacturer who always has such cute creative make and takes. Their unique Washi tapes are sooooo cute.  Here are only a few examples of the tapes they produce.  They also have broadened their product offering with their own does and punches.  This little Kraft matchbox notebook has the red and white dot 1" Washi tape across the bottom.  the 1" black and white dot Washi is used for the corners of the front message.  That lady bug?  It is one of the new sticker releases........so cute.  Matchbox size is 4" x 5-1/4" x 1/4".

Here is a closer look at the corners using the black and white dot Washi tape and the ladybug embellishment:

Open the matchbox to reveal inside contents: another message and a package of Little B Daisy Notes.

Here the envelope is also decorated using the 1" polka dot Washi tape:

And, here is a little notebook with another creative way to use their Washi tape and stickers from Little B.  Finished size is 3-1/2" x 5" x 1/4".

Open the book to reveal the inside: on the left side is a pocket, the right side has a pocket to hold one the small Washi tape rolls. Aren't those stickers so very cute?  They are so uniquely designed.

Here the back: the measuring tape washi wraps around the notebook and makes a good pencil.

Now aren't these cute make and takes? I think so...............stay tuned for more tom.............

 

CHA - Lawn Fawn Make & Take

This is a really cute stamp company called Lawn fawn found here. Each day was a different make and take.  I like this one the best.  I actually used my Copics to color them at home.  So cute, eh? Note each of these cards were designed by Nancy K. and her blog is here.  She always  heads up the make and takes at CHA - such a pleasure to sit and chat with her.  This stamp set is so cute...............:

This another cute card. darn, the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter brush was used on the birds but it doesn't show up in the photo at all...................(so sorry for the smudge on the photo - I keep trying to clean my camera lens)
