Hello beautiful people!
We've got some gorgeous new products hitting the stores today and I wanted to give you a look at some of the fun I've been having with them. As well as give you a heads up on some *Limited Quantity* Bundle deals available right now at wplus9.com!
I am very excited to unveil a couple of collaboration sets we've been working on with Stephanie Low Creative. Stephanie is an amazing artist and her work fits in so well here at Wplus9! The Butterfly Mandala is a perfect example of her divine illustration skills.
There is a large mandala design featuring leaves and butterflies included in the set, along with individual stamps of each of the elements that make up the mandala. One of my favorite techniques to use with the mandala is emboss resist.
I stamped the mandala pattern all over a panel of Tim Holtz Watercolor Cardstock in Versamark Ink and then heat embossed using WOW! Super Fine Bright White embossing powder. I blended Distress Oxide Inks over the entire background in Abandoned Coral, Spiced Marmalade and Candied Apple. I splashed a little water onto the background for a mottled effect.
That gorgeous sentiment is also included in the set. I used the same technique and colors for the large "Hello" and then die cut it using the companion die.I then stamped the "fill" image included in the set using White PURE COLOR pigment ink. This image fills in the open areas of the "Hello" - perfect for a two-toned sentiment. To anchor and mat the sentiment, I used the new Clear Cut Stackers: Hexagon Die. In fact, I used that die A LOT this release!
Another must have Wplus9 x Stephanie Low Creative set is the new Autumn Blessings stamps and die.
This set is packed with images! It features the large wreath, all of the individual elements that make up the wreath so that you can create your own floral arrangements, and several sentiments that fit inside the banner and frame also included in the set. Wow!
I went with a simple watercolored wreath for this one. I stamped the image onto watercolor paper using Wplus9 PURE COLOR Dye Ink in black and then did some very simple and loose watercoloring using Daniel Smith watercolors. Any watercolors would do here, but I had a few of the Daniel Smith Palettes from Simon Says Stamp right at hand, so that's what I went with. I stamped the banner and sentiment, then die cut everything using the companion die.
I stamped a Kraft card panel using the stripe from our Borders & Backgrounds 2 stamp set in Versamark Ink and adhere to an aqua card base. I then layered my wreath and banner on top, securing in place with foam tape.
Aren't these amazing? And you know what makes them even more amazing? Right now, we have a limited quantity of Bundle Sets available for both of these. The Bundles are a 15% savings over purchasing separately! This is for direct orders only (wholesale excluded), and our way of saying "Thanks for supporting us!".
The entire release really is gorgeous and I've had a lot of fun creating with it. Here is a quick overview of all of the new stuff now available.
