I know I probably say this a ton…but I am SO happy it’s Friday. It’s been a tough week. I didn’t even have time to make any Mother’s Day Cards this year. {tsk tsk}
Just wanted to wish you and yours a wonderful Mother’s day weekend. And share this adorable card my Father sent me for my “first” Mother’s Day 
Have a great weekend!

Well it’s officially May. Can you believe it?!? I know I can’t. This year is seriously flying by.
Today I am super excited to share that WPlus9 is sponsoring the latest 10 min Craft Dash over at Pretty Pink Posh! Not only do you get to play along with these gorgeous colors from Paulina:
But you also have a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to WPlu9! Woop Woop!
Here is my take on the challenge:
I have to admit…this was my second attempt at the challenge. The first one was just not cutting it. I think the “practice card” was worth it though because I love the way this card bloomed into a finished piece. And I was almost under a whole minute this time! That 10 minutes is tough!
With a kraft base I used a strip of patterned card stock and stamped the beautiful flowers from Blanket Stitched Blooms in alternating pink & aqua and adhered it to the base. I then used a kraft tag I had in my stash to stamp the sentiment and tied it on with some twine. To finish it off two crochet flowers and a pearl to boot.
Hope you have chance to play along! And be sure to stop by Dawn’s & Paulina’s blogs to learn more!

Today is the last day I get to share with you the latest release from WPlus9. I saved the best for last…my favorite set from this release is definitely Fresh Baked!
How adorable are those stamps? And I LOVE the little utensils stamps that makes such a cute border. This card was super simple and the color combo was inspired by a “citrus” theme. It turned out so vintage and reminds me of a Brady Bunch kitchen
Make sure to stop by Dawn’s Blog for more, and to keep checking back for more from the rest of the WPlus9 Design Team. Have a great weekend!

There are so many awesome new products in the latest release from WPlus9, just one day is not enough!
First up a card featuring the gorgeous Blanket Stitched Blooms and coordinating die cut. I am in LOVE with this set. I love the “stitched” feel of the stamps, they are so fun & funky! Totally different than any stamp set I’ve seen out there of it’s kind.
The way the stamps are layered it almost gives a “colored in” feel as well. I wanted to really show of the stitching so I created a strip of the stamps using WPlus9 White Pigment Ink. Then stamped the images with black, pink, and green on the die cut pieces. Finished it off with the “Just a Note” sentiment and some jewels.
Next up a baby card featuring the Pretty Patches Umbrella set and matching die cut.
With a green card base with some polka dot patterned paper as the base, I used the awesome Folk Art Alphabet Die to cut the letters out. These are going to be a staple for sure in my stash. I love how they are the perfect size for cards!
That’s all for today…check back tomorrow for two more cards featuring the fabulous Fresh Baked stamp set & coordinating die cuts!

So it’s been waaay too long since I got to play with some new WPlus9 goodies. Between a house move, a baby on the way, and an insane workload at my day job…I was long overdue for some stamping fun! This release is just out of this world incredible! It’s packed with all kinds of my favorite goodies, including the beautiful Paisley Patterns stamp set.
My first card with the set shows some of the different sizes and options this set comes with. You really can make the most gorgeous patterns with these stamps. I used two tags from Timeless Tags 2 Die as bases to stamp some more of the images and the sentiment. The sentiment is from the newest sentiment set designed by Dawn, Strictly Sentiments 1. I then finished it off with some jewels and washi tape along the edge of the tag. I love this color combo, it channels one of my favorite designers, Lilly Pulitzer, who sadly passed away this week. I hope they continue to make her bright and beautiful patterns!
Next up…some aqua & green…and more Paisley!
This card features more of Paisley Patterns, this time I used the layered stamps to create my own paisley color pattern. You truly can make these designs so original…I just love it. For the sentiment I used the fabulous new Embroidered Bouquet Additions. I love how it coordinates so seamlessly with the sentiment from the original set. The stamps & sentiment are so bold that I decided to keep the rest of the card simple. A little twine & a little birdie finish it off.
I hope you’ve enjoyed my first day of revealing some of the fun I’ve had with these stamps! Be sure to check back tomorrow for some more fun. And don’t forget to stop by WPlus9.com and pick up your favorite new stamps today!
