WPlus9 June 2015 Release In Review

 

It's the weekend! We went out with friends last night and had a great time.  Even though I woke up late this morning I've gotten the house cleaning all done and I'm headed out now for some pretty nonpareils for some cupcakes I'll be baking tomorrow.  The cupcakes are for a baby shower luncheon at Ryan's work!

 

I realized I had one more card that I didn't have a chance to share during release week. This adorable giraffe is from the Party Animal stamp set.  I colored him, and the little bird, with copic markers and then covered them in glitter.  I adhered them to a piece of Kraft cardstock that was die cut with the Love Mom Layers Die and then embossed with the Lattice Frame Die.  The lattice die fits perfectly inside the rounded rectangle. 

 

Here are a few of my favorites from Dawn and the DT that you shouldn't miss:

WPlus9 June 2015 Release {Day 5}

Today is the day!
The WPlus9 June 2015 Release is
Available Now!

All of the products we have been previewing are now on sale in the WPlus9 Store, but I still have a few more projects to share. This first one uses the new stamps and dies from Party Animal and Happy Mail. All of these cute critters work so well together.  I created a shaker with the large balloon die from Party Animal.  I filled it with heart confetti and the three little birds from the set.  I love birds and these three are just adorable!

This next card uses the lovable bear from Happy Mail.  I turned him into a constellation using some small stars from the Little Bits stamp set.  I also gave him a sketchy look with a black pen.  For the background I sponged some Falling Star Dye Ink in the center. Working from the outside in, I sponged on some Nautical Navy Dye Ink overlapping the yellow slightly.

WPlus9 June 2015 Release

Available 6/5/15

 

 Hey! The release is fast approaching and there's still more to share.  Today I have two cards that both use the new Doodle Buds Stamps and Dies.  I love this set. I stamped all of the images on a white piece of cardstock with Memento ink.  I used my Copic markers to color the images with bright colors and the background with black.  I cut a piece of vellum with the Sunshine Layers Die and used it as an overlay.  I stamped a sentiment from the set and embossed it in white.  I added a little bouquet of the die cut and colored flowers to finish it off.

For my second card, I created a pattern by first stamping the solid circle from Greetings and Salutations in various dye ink colors.  On top of that, I stamped the Doodle Buds images in black dye ink.  It created what looks like illustration. I love it!

 

 

I cut one side of the Sunshine Layers Die cut to turn it into a border between the solid cardstock and the stamped pattern piece. A little stamping around the large blessed die cut finishes the card.

You may have gotten a peek at this post when I accidentally hit publish Monday night...oops! 

 

Welcome to Day 3 of WPlus9 release week.  Today I have several new sets and dies to share.  The first two cards' backgrounds were created using the new Greetings and Salutations stamp set.  I used the sketchy shapes, stamped in various colors of PURE Color Dye Ink to create my patterns.  I added a few die cut flowers from the Flower Doodles Dies at the bottom of this card front.  Above that I stamped various hello sentiments from the Greetings and Salutations and Doodle Buds stamp sets using the new black dye ink.

For my next card I created a little graffiti.  I used the sketchy rectangle from Greetings and Salutations to create my brick wall.  I spray painted this awesome large sentiment stamp, called Dreams Into Plans, onto my wall with black ink, as well as some splats from Ink Splats, a previously released set.

Finally, I have a sweet and simple card for the one I love.  These two little squirrels are just adorable.  They,along with this sweet sentiment, are from Happy Mail. To add a little color I stamped this large brush stroke stamp from Main Squeeze. I finished it off with a tiny heart from Little Bits.

WPlus9 June 2015 Release {Day 2}

WPlus9 June 2015 Release

Available 6/5/15

 

 

 Welcome back for Day 2 of the WPlus9 Release!

Today I am sharing cards using the new Watercolored Anemone set as well as a few other stamps and dies being released.

I love this beautiful new floral set.  The flowers and leaves are multi-step stamps.  Dawn has included lines around certain images indicating which stamps layer together to create the final image.  But even if you don't get them quite right, they still look beautiful!

For this first card I have layered the stamped flowers with an image from the new set, Greetings and Salutations. I have popped just a few areas of the image to add interest and dimension.  The sentiments and the Flower Doodle smile die cut have been colored using the new Black PURE Color Dye Ink.  It's a fabulous, rich black color perfect for sentiments and solid images!   

 

 

I have used the new black ink on this card too.  The floral images are stamped first in Fairy Dust Dye Ink, then Silver Lining Dye Ink, and the final step is stamped in Black Dye Ink.  The sentiment is from a new set called Doodle Buds.  This set has the most beautiful font and awesome doodle images.  I will be sharing more with this set on another day!  I wasn't kidding when I said the Love Mom Layers Die and The Sunshine Layers Die are never far from my desk.  I use them so much.  They add the finishing touch to every card.

For my final card, I stamped the first step of  Watercolored Anemones on black cardstock with white pigment ink.  I stamped the second step in Silver Lining, and the third with the new Black ink.  I then stamped the sentiment from Greeting and Salutations in white pigment ink.  I added clear embossing powder over the whole thing and heat set it.  I accented it with a butterfly die cut from the Small Butterfly Frame Die.  I think it looks cool stamped on black cardstock!
