June 2010 Release Day 2: Background Builders: Hearts

Welcome back for Day 2 of the Wplus9 Design Studio June 2010 release. Today I am showing you a new background building set. I LOVE this set. It seriously ranks right up there with polka dots for me. I am excited to bring you Background Builders: Hearts.

Background Builders: Hearts

• is a 4x6 clear photopolymer stamp set
• contains 6 different background building heart images
• will be available for purchase Tuesday, June 1st for just $13

When I designed this set, I purposely designed 5 of the styles in single rows. I did this so that you could stamp them one on top of another in the same color, or switch it up and do each row a different color. How fun is that? So for this first card I used the open heart image first.

You'll notice, like our other background builder set, these images are at least 5 1/2 inches in width. Just long enough to cover the front of a standard card without having to try to line the pattern up to the left or right. I continued this pattern flipping the stamp up and then down, AND alternating colors. Once I had the card front covered, I came in with one of the solid heart images, spaced perfectly to fit inside of the open heart.

I finished it off with a sentiment from Funky Flowers embossed in white, some chipboard letters, and some pink embroidery floss. This is the perfect card for my niece who turns 10 this summer.

Next, I wanted to do a simple black and white card. I used the larger sized heart and stamped it in Versamark onto Stamper's Select cardstock and embossed it using the Pearl embossing powder from Stampendous.

I chose to pair it with one of the bird images from yesterday's set "The Birds & The Bees" and the sentiment from Funky Foliage. I love how elegant this one turned out.

I hope you are loving the release as much as I am so far. The rest of the design team is having so much fun with these sets. I can't wait to show you what they have done with them. We have one more day of projects to show you tomorrow before the full reveals, so be sure to come back again tomorrow. We will have a big prize package featuring one of our most popular sets.
