July 2017 Release Week: Southern Summer Florals with Yana

Hello and welcome back to our July 2017 Release previews! All of the new products that we will be sharing with you over the next couple of days will be available for purchase beginning July 5, 2017 at wplus9.com as well as at many of your favorite retailers. If you are just joining us, be sure to check out Day 1, and Day 2.

Southern Florals 1 stamp set holds a number of creative possibilities for cardmaking. I think you’ll agree with me that one can never have too many floral sets in their stash and this new set is a true must have. It not only looks fabulous on its own, but can be combined with Southern Summer Florals 2 and many other existing sets from WPlus9.

I decided to create a dimensional floral pattern for this card with the help of stamps and companion dies. I started working on my card by die-cutting shapes out first. I cut all of them 4 times out of white cardstock and then proceeded to do my stamping. The companion dies are open centered so that you can stamp first and then die cut. But I find often with these types of florals, they are easy to line up and stamp onto the die cuts. Cutting out several die cuts and then stamping all at once is quicker and a big time saver when creating several of the same flowers.

Classic floral color combination always wins, so this is what I went with. I stamped my flowers using Shell Pink, Little Piggy and Sweet Gelato and used Last Leaf along with Appletini for the leaves. I also incorporated a bit of Black for the flower centers.

Next, I grouped my die cuts into floral clusters and adhered them onto a 4 x 5 ¼” Oatmeal Cardstock panel using glue and foam adhesive. You can create an identical looking pattern on a one layer card with the help of some masking. But I am not always a fan of masking, I prefer to cut things out.

I intentionally left a bit of space in between each cluster to be able to stamp a sentiment. I went with a simple “With Thanks” message from the new Basic Labels stamp set and stamped it in black ink. You can choose to use other messages for this card and you can also stamp these using lighter ink color, maybe gray or dark green.

I adhered my background panel onto an A2 white top folding card base, added a bit of natural twine at the top and embellished my card using white enamel dots made using Nuvo Drops.

I hope you are enjoying the previews! Kelly will be here tomorrow with more, so be sure to stop in!
