About The La La Card Company

Hello, and welcome to the website.

I hope you enjoy browsing through my range of hand painted designs for Card making and Scrapbooking. I paint all of the designs myself, make up the kits and write the instructions so I can tell you all of the designs are really easy to make and most are suitable for complete beginners, some tell you exactly what to do, and others leave you scope to ‘do your own thing’…..depending how inspired you feel!

At present there are designs for Decoupage Card Kits, Single Card Kits, Just Images Sheets, Background Papers and Greetings and Alphabets. Many of the card kits have matching printed envelopes, do have a go at these, they are easy to make and make your card designs look really good. I shall be adding new designs as I create them so do keep popping back to see the latest under New Designs or sign up for the Blog which is coming shortly and will show how the designs are created from first brushstrokes.

To complete the designs once you have downloaded the files, the basics you will need are paper, card, glue, scissors and a home printer. I use a basic Epson R285 inkjet printer. The little 3D sticky pads used on some of the designs are readily available online, have a look at Tutorials to see in detail how easy these are to use. I will list some useful sources of online basics under Other Items to get you started but you really don’t need a lot to start a really enjoyable and useful new hobby.

Once you do get started card making though, a word of warning, you will find there are a whole host of lovely items to further embellish your designs, sparkly diamante bits in all colours and sizes, glitter glues and organza ribbon to name just a few of my favourites. It is all highly addictive……....you have been warned!

Happy cardmaking,

Karen Porter
