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!

It's finally here! It's Release Day at WPlus9, and all of the new stamps, dies, ink, and cardstock that have been previewed over the past few days are now available in the WPlus9 store!

To celebrate the release, I have one more project to share which uses three of the new stamp sets and two of the companion dies. This is my last post as a Guest Designer, but I want to say a huge thank you to Dawn, the Design Team, and all of you for your wonderful comments and enthusiasm over the past week!

For my card, I stamped the mesh panel from Chantilly Trim onto kraft cardstock using the new white ink. The sentiment, from Embroidered Bouquet, is stamped on top of it in black, and I die cut and stamped flowers from Very Vintage Florals to embellish the corner.

I die cut the left side of the kraft panel using the Scalloped Border die and pierced along the edge, then mounted the entire panel onto a Cupid's Bow card base.

Cardstock: WPlus9 Design Studio (Cupid's Bow, White), Papertrey Ink (Kraft)

Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Very Vintage Florals, Chantilly Trim, Embroidered Bouquet)

Ink: WPlus9 Design Studio (White), Stampin' Up! (Real REd, Lucky Limeade), Memento (Tuxedo Black)

Tools: WPlus9 Design Studio (Very Vintage Florals companion dies, Scalloped Border die)

Now that I look at it on the screen, I'm thinking I'll add some bling around the sentiment, but as is this would be great for mailing.

Stop by each of the Design Team blogs to leave some love for those incredibly talented ladies! They really are the best in the business. :)

Thanks again for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with me! Happy shopping! :)

WPlus9 February/March Release Week Day 1

Hello there, friends! I'm so very excited to be bringing you a special post today--I'm Guest Designing with WPlus9 for their February/March release! Today's the first day of previews, and let me tell you, you are going to be smitten with all of the new stamps and dies coming out this month.

Today we're featuring two new stamp sets and their companion dies:

Very Vintage Florals
Very Vintage Florals Companion Dies
Chantilly Trim
Scalloped Border Die

I've managed to use all four on my first card. :)

Very Vintage Florals coordinates with the previously released Very Vintage Greetings and its companion die, Label Layers 3. I used the die to cut a window in a kraft panel, then stamped the frame and sentiment from Very Vintage Florals onto the white card base.

I die cut and stamped the floral images in green, then stamped the flowers again in red and trimmed them by hand.

The new Chantilly Trim set has the most gorgeous lace borders, which coordinate perfectly with the new Scalloped Border die. I added a scalloped edge to the kraft panel and stamped one of the lace borders along the bottom.

Cardstock: WPlus9 Design Studio (White), Papertrey Ink (Kraft)

Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Very Vintage Florals, Chantilly Trim)

Ink: Stampin' Up! (Real Red, Lucky Limeade), Memento (Tuxedo Black)

Tools: WPlus9 Design Studio (Very Vintage Florals dies, Scalloped Border die, Label Layers 3 die)

For my second card, I wanted to do something completely different. The Chantilly Trim borders made me think of beautifully decorated wedding cakes, so I set about creating one of my own.

After trimming the cake layers from cardstock, I stamped a lace border along the top edges, adhered the layers with foam tape, and embellished them with black gems.

I turned to Very Vintage Greetings for my sentiment, adding a hand-trimmed flag and black gem to draw the eye.

Cardstock: WPlus9 Design Studio (White, Black), Papertrey Ink (Melon Berry)

Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Chantilly Trim, Very Vintage Greetings)

Ink: Stampin' Up! (Calypso Coral), Memento (Tuxedo Black)

Accessories: Bazzill (black rhinestones)

I've had so much fun playing with these sets, it was hard to choose just a couple of cards to share with you today! Needless to say, there will be more to come. :)

Be sure to see what the WPlus9 Design Team has created!
