It's Release Day! Every thing we've previewed this week is now available for purchase at wplus9.com as well as at many of your favorite retailers. I still have a couple of cards to share with you, so let's get to it.
There are some amazing crafters out there with ingenious ideas. For this pair of cards, I CASEd one of my favorites, Yana Smakula. She's amazing I tell ya.
I recently saw a couple of her cards where she used random solid images to "fill in" lined images and I immediately thought "holy crap, genius!". Quickly followed by, "This would be perfect for Greetings & Salutations stamps and die!"
I paired them up the new Wishing You stamp set and I have to say...daaang Yana, you're awesome! LOL
They were so easy to put together and yeah, they are my new favorite cards from this release. I just stamped out a full sheet in a color palette of Falling For Blue, Pumpkin Spice, Sweet Gelato, Last Leaf, Warm Wool and Black, and trimmed them down to several panels to use on multiple cards.
My other card for today was a spin off from a card I shared on Tuesday. I wanted to use the modern pattern and turn it into a more classic design. I paired it with our Grateful Greetings stamp set and the Gift Card Layers Die and I believe it did the trick.
Replace the sentiment with names and I could totally see these as place cards for Thanksgiving dinner.
I wanted to thank you all once again for your patience this release and for joining us this week and showing your support. I've said it before and I'll say it again...we have the best people in this industry!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Cards! Love how you created the bunnies card. All around beautiful images and color combination.
ReplyDeleteThese cards are amazing and I just love how they are each done!! The first one is such a clever way to add color!! and the second card is just classy as all get out!! So awesome and well done cards!!!
ReplyDeletePerfection!!
ReplyDeleteThese cards blow me away, especially the bunny ones! They are so unique! Love the effect. :D
ReplyDeleteyes, Yana is so amazing- I love every project from her! But I also love everything you create also! Wish I had all of your stamps- so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Wishing You stamp set - and I love what you have done with the bunnies from the set. I purchased this stamp set almost as soon as it came out - and the matching die and sentiment set. I was taken by the simple bunnies. As a blind paper crafter, I am always on the look out for stamp sets that are easy to colour. I did have a go at making a card with the Wishing You as the basis for it, and posted it to my (very young) blog. I went into a lot of detail about the process I went through to create the card, but I am trying to make paper crafting more accessible to blind crafters through tutorials that are aimed at them. Obviously, sighted people can follow too :-) So glad I found this blog, and I'm looking forward to seeing future WPlus9 releases.
