Thank you or Give Thanks for Let's Craft and Create Challenge #205 for the 5th of March, 2024

 

For this month's challenge at Let's Craft and Create Challenge Blog, we have the optional theme of

Thank You or Give Thanks

I again decided to do something quick and easy using La-La Land Crafts products, as I have been at a conference for work all weekend.

So, here is my card:

It was very simple to make - I adhered some paper from the Sparkle & Shine Paper Pack (one of my favourites!) after cutting it to the size of my Kraft square card from Envelope Solutions.

Then I die cut the Layered Thank You Die twice in Kraft cardstock, once in matte gold card stock and once in white cardstock. (I still have the word and the outline attached, as shown in the photo). 

I adhered the two Kraft layers and gold matte layer on top with glue, then adhered and inlayed the white letters into the word, along with the gold matte inside of the letters "a" and "o".

Next time, I need to be a little more gentle with my poking of the white card stock into the letters!

Here is another photo of the card:

My latest creations....May

These little cards have been used for a while as gifts....but I thought that I should actually try and sell some! Especially as a lot of love and hard work goes into creating each one!
LaLaLand Crafts digital stamps of Marci and Luka are printed on to card and then hand-coloured with water colour pencils and Spica glitter pens. Then I include a little envelope from Envelope Solutions.
Here are some of the ones that have already been sent as gifts or samples:

Then here is another idea I had, where I cut out the hand-coloured image and adhere it to coloured card stock:

I have actually included samples of these cards in my PCF Team May Scavenger Hunt items, so if you participate in the May Scavenger Hunt and win, you will receive one of these cards!
These cards would actually make great Thank You cards or perhaps even little gift tags.

These cards will also be displayed in the La La Land Crafts Customer Gallery.

Once I decide on how to list these, I will post a link to the listing on my Etsy Shop: JemLou Productions.

Thanks for looking! :)

The inside of the card is blank.

The envelope has a small piece of the paper attached to the bottom left corner of the front of the envelope.
