These stamps are just divine. The depth and colors you can create with them is incredible. I really wanted the poinsettias to be the focal point of the card so I let them shine. I added some fun bling as an accent and the gorgeous “Noel” sentiment.

day3-2I love the font Dawn chose for these sentiments. So elegant and fun.

There are so many stamps in the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set you seriously could do all your Holiday cards! I just love this set. Especially the adorable coffee cups. I wanted to do a fun one layer card for easy mailing. What do you think? I love the bright and funky color combo. The Lake House Pigment Ink is such a beautiful shade of blue and perfect for winter!

day2-2I finished the card off with some baker’s twine and one little bling crystal in blue. This card would be super easy to mass produce for all your friends and family.

Here is a card I created with the Silver Bells stamp set and die cuts. One thing Dawn has spot on is die cuts. I mean seriously. These are gorgeous. It’s effortless to create beautiful details with these stamps and dies.

day2-1-1For these cards I’ve been trying some funky color combos. I really love how this one turned out. The purple and gold tones are so fun. I used White Pigment Ink to create some “snow” in the background with the berries stamp.

Make sure you stop by Dawn’s blog for all the details on these products. And of course stop by all the other DT’s pages too!

WPlus9 October Release: Group Post Day

3 Comments

So yes, this is always my favorite day of the release! Not only do you now get to purchase all the latest goodies from WPlus9 – it’s also Group Post Day! I always save my favorite card for last so here it is:

I just love the way this little Winter Wonderland turned out! I started with some vintage sheet music and stayed within a neutral color palette. I knew I wanted to feature the adorable silhouette of the carolers from Iconic Christmas to go along with the “music” theme.

I think my favorite sentiment stamp from this set is the gorgeous Noel sentiment stamp. And the filigree stamp just makes it so glamorous! I embellished with lots of textures and different things to finish off the card while still making sure the carolers steal the show.

Day 3 WPlus9 October Release

4 Comments

Ok…it’s almost here! The full reveal of the WPlus9 October Release is in less than 24 hours.

First up today I have for you Pretty Patches: Tree stamp set:

Can you say CA-UUTTE! I took a super simple sachet and stamped the sentiment on a tag, and the tree & heart from the set on the bag. Filled the bag with chamomile, but I’m thinking closer to holidays getting some cinnamon sticks would be perfect. Such a fun and simple gift that is super easy to mass-produce thanks to these adorable stamps!

And of course I had to feature the Quilt Cuts 2 die cuts:

This card was super simple thanks the the die cuts. I added the sentiment included on Pretty Patches: Tree stamp set to finish it off. Patterned papers just make these look like real quilt pieces!

Make sure you check out what the rest of the ladies from WPlus9 have for one more day before the big reveal!

Welcome back! Hopefully you were able to check out all the goodies yesterday…and yes we are back with even more fun products from WPlus9 and the WPlus9 Design Team!

I’m pretty sure this stamp set is going to steal the show for this release, Iconic Christmas & Matching Die Cuts is just incredible. My favorite part is definitely the wonderful Christmas Tree stamp. As you can see below I got quite a bit stamp happy with it.

LOVE just everything about this set. It’s classic, it’s gorgeous typography, and of course the awesome matching die cuts.

I was really trying to branch out with some different colors for the Christmas / Holiday cards this year. Wanted to try more than just the go-to green & red.

Here is my second card featuring the fabulous sentiment that just makes me *swoon*

I embellished the sentiment a bit but really wanted it to take center stage. I just love this color combo too! Make sure you check out what the rest of the ladies got rockin’ today:
