Penny for Your Thoughts (use a sentiment) for Let's Craft and Create Challenge #232 on the 5th of June 2026

 

Hi All!

I have been in Perth for work this week and the weather has been crazy. Winter is definitely here! 
Anyway, for this month's challenge at Let's Craft and Create Challenge Blog, we have the optional theme of

Penny for Your Thoughts (use a sentiment)

I made a folio from the La-La Land Crafts Colour & Create Virtual Retreat 2026 and we used stamps, dies and paper from La-La Land Crafts. This virtual retreat is the original event for the February 2026 Release and the theme is Enchanted Woodlands. So, here is my folio:

For this card, everything was prepared for us and we just had to colour the image, fussy cut (or die cut it if you have the dies) and then organise the card! :) This is Irina's design and all the products used on this project is either just released or already in the La-La Land Crafts Shop, so the products are:

• Little Wonders Clear Stamp Set
• Enchanted Paper Pack
• Little Wonders Outlines
• House Base Die
• House Add-On 1 Die
• House Add-On 2 Die
• Cottage Add-On Die
• Picket Fence Die
• Fuchsia Flowers Die
• Left Pocket Die
• Colour-Me Enamel Dots

The Mouse was already stamped and we coloured with the following Copics and PrismaColour Pencils: 

• Copics - C1, C3, C5, R11, R81, R83, R85, BG72, BG75, E00, E11, E13, E21, YG23, YG25, YG93, YG95, YR21, YR23
• PrismaColour Pencils - PC935 Black, PC936 Slate Grey, PC945 Sienna Brown, PC1052 Warm Grey, PC1081 Chestnut, PC1088 Muted Turquoise, PC1090 Kelp Green

Here is a photo close up of the mouse after he was coloured and die cut:

Once the mouse was attached to the folio, I added white gel pen and Glossy Accents to the eyes.

I followed Irina's instructions for the folio and here are photos of the inside and back of the folio:

Here is another photo of the finished folio:

Then a photo with the folio open:
