Southern Summer Florals 2 {WPlus9 July 2017 Release}

Saturday, July 1, 2017

Hey! I'm on the WPlus9 Blog today sharing the new July release.  I couldn't resist sharing a little something over here too, Southern Summer Florals 2! 
 
All of the new release products will be available on July 5th!  Make sure you visit the WPlus9 Blog for all of the details as well as daily giveaways.
 

I chose a very classic color combination for my flowers today.  Lavender and yellow using Bloomsberry, Cockleshell, and Falling Star ink.  I die cut the flowers and leaves several times using the Southern Summer Florals 2 coordinating dies.  I prefer to cut first and then stamp, but you can do it the other way around if you prefer. 



I really wanted the flowers to be the focus of the design so I added my sentiments in Fairy Dust ink, a subtle gray.  The large sentiments are from a new stamp set, also from this new release, called Southern Sentiments.


The large oval die cut as well as the small rectangular label are from a new set called Basic Labels.  I decided to add the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment in a darker neutral to make it more visible, but the small size keeps the focus on the flowers!


I know you're going to love these new stamps and dies.  Remember to visit the WPlus9 Blog over the next several days for more peeks, release details and giveaways!

Birthday Collage

Hi! Popping in to share a birthday card I created for my brother.  I made this easy ombre look with three PURE Color Dye Ink ink pads.  I simply swiped the ink pads directly onto the white cardstock.  So easy!  You can read a little more detail on this card on the WPlus9 Blog.



I love these beautiful blue/green colors!  Once they were dry I started my collage stamping with an awesome set called Dockside.  It was discontinued, but Dawn decided to bring it back for this summer.  Grab one while you can! This compass rose is my favorite!
 

I added a few more random ink splats and stars to round out the collage of images. All the sets I used are linked below. 
Have an awesome day!

 

Wedding Wishes

Thursday, June 22, 2017

Hello! Summer is here and I couldn't be happier!  It means more time for crafting and blogging. {If I can drag myself out of the pool!}


 I shared this card over on the WPlus9 Blog several weeks ago and I wanted to drop in and share it her as well.

 
We are invited to a wedding in September and this will be perfect for the couple.  I used the new WP9 Large Butterfly Frame Die and Modern Anemones stamps to create a one-of-a-kind frame for the front of my card.  I die cut another frame in black to create a drop shadow and make the design pop!  The sentiment is from Modern Peonies.

 
All supplies used are linked below.  If you want a little more detail related to how I created this card visit the WP9 original post!  Thanks for stopping by.  A WP9 new release is on the way for July.  Stay tuned for that!

Masked Butterflies

Monday, June 5, 2017


Hello!  I just wanted to stop in and share this project I posted on the WPlus9 Blog a few weeks ago.  It's a really fun project to do!


WPlus9 recently released the Large Butterfly Frame Die.  Here I've used it to create a mask for some PURE Color Spray Mists.
 

I made sure to burnish the mask before spraying the mists.  It worked out really well!  A little bit of simple stamping for the sentiment and it's done.


Check out the original post for more detailed instructions.  I'm also on the WPlus9 Blog today with Floral Pattern Stamping using Happy Wishes.  Check it out!
