Happy Birthday Sharron!

I have a special card today for a special lady and blog friend! Sharron, the talented designer behind the blog, On Papillon Wings, and a teammate of mine at The 12 Kits of Occasions, is having a birthday today, and several of her friends have come together to help her celebrate with a blog hop.

Since Sharron's birthday is on the first day of autumn, I chose some warm fall colors to create a card just for her. I used WPlus9's Written On Ribbon and Fresh Cut Florals, adding a stitched border and some glitter accents to the flowers with a Wink of Stella glitter brush.

Cardstock: WPlus9 Design Studio (Oatmeal), Stampin' Up! (Rich Razzleberry)

Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Fresh Cut Florals, Written on Ribbon)

Ink: Stampin' Up! (Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, More Mustard, So Saffron, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive)

Tools: WPlus9 Design Studio (ribbon, flower dies), corner rounder

Other: Zig Wink of Stella clear glitter brush, thread

Sharron, I hope you have a fantastic birthday and enjoy your blog hop! Here's the full list of designers wishing you well today:

Stop by and wish Sharron a happy birthday, too!

Happy Fall, everyone!

Cloud9 February Blog Hop

It's time for another Cloud9 Blog Hop!

This month's inspiration photo comes from the Black Eiffel blog, featuring an assortment of kids' Valentine treat bags:

I took the inspiration pretty literally and whipped up some little envelopes to put in my kids' lunch boxes on Valentine's Day.

Using WPlus9's seed packet die, I cut the envelopes from this kraft, polka-dotted paper from a collection that I must have bought three or four years ago. I just keep whittling away at it year by year. :)

For my daughter's envelope, I used the just-released sets Chantilly Trim (for the floral image) and Written on Ribbon (for the banner), as well as the companion die. The sentiments are from Love You More.

My son's envelope is decorated using images from Love Birds, along with the coordinating dies. Since my little guy doesn't do much reading yet, I opted for the heart speech bubble from Love You More in lieu of a sentiment.

Cardstock: WPlus9 Design Studio (White)

Patterned paper: (K & Company)

Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Chantilly Trim, Written on Ribbon, Love Birds, Love You More)

Ink: Stampin' Up! (Lucky Limeade, Real Red, Chocolate Chip)

Tools: WPlus9 Design Studio (Written on Ribbon die, Love Birds dies)

I'll probably fill these with stickers and a love note, which should put a smile on their faces, especially since this mom is rarely organized enough ahead of time to put notes in lunch boxes. :)

Please join us for this month's hop! We'd love to see what you come up with using your WPlus9 goodies.

I'm off to tackle the shoveling! Thanks for spending a bit of your day with me.

WPlus9 February/March Release Day 3

Hello friends! The fun continues with Day 3 of the WPlus9 release previews! I can't tell you how much fun it has been working with the new stamps and dies, and today's cards are my favorites so far. :)

Today we are previewing one more stamp set and its coordinating die:

Written on Ribbon
Written on Ribbon companion die

Written on Ribbon has a beautiful folded banner image and tons of sentiments for weddings, birthdays, and more. For my first sample, I made a gate-fold card with the die cut banner right in the center.

I just can't get enough of this new white ink, so I used it to stamp images from Embroidered Bouquet onto dark gray cardstock. Love!

The banner and gems look orange, but they are SU's Calypso Coral. I'm a bit smitten with this gray and coral color combo at the moment.

Cardstock: Stampin' Up! (Basic Gray, Calypso Coral), WPlus9 Design Studio (White)

Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Embroidered Bouquet, Written on Ribbon)

Ink: WPlus9 Design Studio (White), Stampin' Up! (Calypso Coral, Basic Gray), Copic marker

Tools: WPlus9 Design Studio (Written on Ribbon die), We R Memory Keepers (Corner Chomper)

Accessories: Michaels (rhinestones)

For my second card, I wanted to use the small sentiments from Written on Ribbon in a different way, so I lined up several wedding-themed phrases on a block and stamped them down the edge of a white card base.

I stamped and die cut images from Lacey Layers and adhered them to a lavender panel, which is popped up with foam tape. I chose a focal sentiment from Heartfelt Mix, stamping "congratulations" on a white banner and "to the happy couple" below it.
