Over the last couple of weeks I've been preparing the new & improved <a href="https://blog.wplus9.com">Wplus9 Design Blog</a>. With 10 years of posts, this blog will stay up, but will no longer be updated.</p>
<p>Our new address is <a href="https://blog.wplus9.com"><b>blog.wplus9.com</b></a>.</p>

He Is Risen w/Kelly<p>Hello Crafters! Spring is here!!!</p>
<p>I'm so excited for warmer temps, grass, flowers to start blooming, warmer temps...you hear what I'm saying. I'm so tired of being cold ya'll.</p>
<p>I decided to ring in Spring with a Simple but colorful Easter card.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8nDH4PYq98w/XK49WoIWuQI/AAAAAAAAQjU/_wKzGQ4BjAIHKZ1aH-zaoKCR9k7-0anZACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_HeIsRisen_kellyLatevola6d.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8nDH4PYq98w/XK49WoIWuQI/AAAAAAAAQjU/_wKzGQ4BjAIHKZ1aH-zaoKCR9k7-0anZACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_HeIsRisen_kellyLatevola6d.jpg" data-original-width="1100" data-original-height="1297" width="600px" /></a>
<p>I combined our Modern Calla Lillies set with the He is Risen set to create this sweet bouquet. The coloring was inspired by my friend Jana Millen. I saw a card of hers where she used simple outlines to add color to her images and absolutely loved it!. You can see her card <a href="https://janamillen.typepad.com/this_little_card_of_mine/2019/03/honey-bee-hold.html">here. </a></p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3EOhi2QCwcQ/XK47QgV1I_I/AAAAAAAAQi8/n-f-m09yGQEx0OE-g3afxbQI8VLwuHisACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_HeIsRisen_kellyLatevola6b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3EOhi2QCwcQ/XK47QgV1I_I/AAAAAAAAQi8/n-f-m09yGQEx0OE-g3afxbQI8VLwuHisACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_HeIsRisen_kellyLatevola6b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I started by creating a tone on tone background for my flowers to POP off of. I used the large background stamp from He is Risen to stamp in Nautical Navy on Nautical Navy card stock. That's a mouthful ha! But it gives a gorgeous tone on tone look which I adore.</p>
<p>Next I stamped out all of my flowers and leaves and went in with my copic markers. Since it's just outlining the images the coloring goes so fast! Originally I started with lighter colors but I could not get them to photograph well to save my life.</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r9TJ7Qqb8K8/XK48X4SH2nI/AAAAAAAAQjI/eAwIcacbj9kYlOtx5nEg3SorZ868B5RgACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_HeIsRisen_kellyLatevola6c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r9TJ7Qqb8K8/XK48X4SH2nI/AAAAAAAAQjI/eAwIcacbj9kYlOtx5nEg3SorZ868B5RgACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_HeIsRisen_kellyLatevola6c.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1200" width="600px""/></a>
<p>This is the original color scheme. Because photography can be so tricky the dark background kept making my flowers look almost completely white. In real life the card had much more color. In order to fix that I went back into the card with slightly darker colors.</p>
<p>You can watch the entire card in all it's stages in the video below.</p>

<p>I still like the original color scheme the best. After seeing the photos do you think I should have left well enough alone?</p>

And the new Welcome Wreath stamp set is no exception!</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ry_uIyQbLIA/XKTzruZqogI/AAAAAAAAQhM/NgqXww1YR3knP-YHSTli18g95BdFyDhIACLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_WelcomeWreath_1d.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ry_uIyQbLIA/XKTzruZqogI/AAAAAAAAQhM/NgqXww1YR3knP-YHSTli18g95BdFyDhIACLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_WelcomeWreath_1d.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1200" width="600px"/></a>
<p>There are several layers that you can choose from to create your wreath - use as few or as many as you'd like. Also included in the set are little flower clusters and berries which allow you to customize the wreath seasonally. </p>
<p>I had so much fun playing with this set and once I got started, I just wanted to keep stamping more and more wreaths, trying out different layers and color combinations. In the video below I share more about this set and how to build the wreath.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<p>For the first card, I stamped the wreath layers in Wplus9 PURE COLOR dye inks in Warm Wool and Lime Light, and Distress Oxide inks in Mowed Lawn and Faded Jeans. In the video, I made two versions and embellished them a little differently, but this design looks just as beautiful without any extra embellishing too.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9O5QEdCSYP8/XKTzubBVVfI/AAAAAAAAQhs/DRTBjiRgcpIoe6csSqKmqa3C3AiWpGvCACLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_WelcomeWreath_f1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9O5QEdCSYP8/XKTzubBVVfI/AAAAAAAAQhs/DRTBjiRgcpIoe6csSqKmqa3C3AiWpGvCACLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_WelcomeWreath_f1a.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1200" width="600px" /></a>
<p>For all but one of my cards today, I stamped the card base in Warm Wool using the Wood Planks stamp set.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ReruxeRrxn0/XKTzr3sHSyI/AAAAAAAAQhU/Rl2e7En9GC0zBOGROa6cYLn4HYxj800zACLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_WelcomeWreath_1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ReruxeRrxn0/XKTzr3sHSyI/AAAAAAAAQhU/Rl2e7En9GC0zBOGROa6cYLn4HYxj800zACLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_WelcomeWreath_1b.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>For the next card, I stamped the wreath layers in Warm Wool dye ink and Evergreen Bough and Candied Apple Distress Oxide inks.</p>

<p>I choose to highlight the Evergreen Bough in this one. I ink blended a bit onto white card stock to create my own custom color, and then die cut the bow in the Welcome wafer die from it.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pzwrm0W0mgU/XKT2ggzI2QI/AAAAAAAAQiI/U6uvF13NtMEFUPuq0XgSshdYIJLBepwaACLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_WelcomeWreath_4a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pzwrm0W0mgU/XKT2ggzI2QI/AAAAAAAAQiI/U6uvF13NtMEFUPuq0XgSshdYIJLBepwaACLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_WelcomeWreath_4a.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>For the sentiment, I cut a 1/4" strip from the card stock and heat embossed my sentiment in <a href="http://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=199868&u=658924&m=24698&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fproduct%3Fid%3D118562&afftrack=">white.</a></p>
<p>For the next card, I decided to switch it up a bit and used the tighter wood plank pattern image from <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/wood-planks/">Wood Planks</a> and stamped it in our <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/white-pigment-ink/">White pigment ink</a> onto <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/dove-grey-cardstock/">Dove Grey card stock</a>.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gety1yLw1o0/XKTztrYaNuI/AAAAAAAAQho/j0OjtC6us1owl-cDIJSGYrQ5re2t27O6wCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_WelcomeWreath_3a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gety1yLw1o0/XKTztrYaNuI/AAAAAAAAQho/j0OjtC6us1owl-cDIJSGYrQ5re2t27O6wCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_WelcomeWreath_3a.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1200" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I stamped the wreath layers in Warm Wool and Last Leaf dye inks, and Evergreen Bough and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Inks. I used the same technique of creating custom colored card stock as my previous card and again, die cut a bow from it.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u4bWBtr8w44/XKT4-x2IagI/AAAAAAAAQig/Qw1wWMn5dec9dnFr-p4RerpDl20zHtgjgCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_WelcomeWreath_3c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u4bWBtr8w44/XKT4-x2IagI/AAAAAAAAQig/Qw1wWMn5dec9dnFr-p4RerpDl20zHtgjgCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_WelcomeWreath_3c.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>
For my final card today, I want to go really soft and ethereal.
</p>
<p>I stamped the wreath layers in Warm Wool and Last Leaf dye inks, Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide ink and then for the final layer, I used WOW! glitter embossing powder in Singing in the Rain.</p>

<p>For the sentiment, I again, created custom colored card stock, and used the Welcome wafer die to die cut the "hello" sentiment. To give it a little bit more dimension, I stacked several of the die cuts, adhering one on top of the other.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--gVcHsT9IEQ/XKTzs1mq0KI/AAAAAAAAQhg/dYoHO_D0xK8_SAd9QiqpirWFWaCN1J-FwCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_WelcomeWreath_2c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--gVcHsT9IEQ/XKTzs1mq0KI/AAAAAAAAQhg/dYoHO_D0xK8_SAd9QiqpirWFWaCN1J-FwCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_WelcomeWreath_2c.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1200" width="600px"/></a>

Our March 2019 Release is <a href="http://www.wplus9.com" target="_blank">now available at wplus9.com</a> and I can't wait to share some ideas and inspiration featuring these newest products!</p>
<p>So, I'm not even going to pretend like I have a favorite this release. Normally, something jumps out at me and just pulls me in a little closer than the others. But this time, each time I opened a set and started creating, I squealed (to myself of course, not out loud, that would just be embarrassing) and proclaimed "This is my favorite!"</p>
<p>So instead, I'll just kick off with <em>one</em> of my favorite sets - New Home. And, right now we have a <B>Bundle & Save deal for <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/new-home/" target="_blank">New Home</a></b>. You can pick up the New Home wafer die at 15% off when you purchase the New Home stamp set. Discount is automatically applied when both items are added to your cart.</p>

<p>I've got two cards to share with you today. The whole release focuses on family and home. And the New Home set is <em>literally</em> a front door/porch scene building set.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-otuOqLpJOCU/XJ632E6XX0I/AAAAAAAAQgU/6-Vy32jXgSE7YFj6Ml_NVnpZilZchQySwCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_newHome1g.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-otuOqLpJOCU/XJ632E6XX0I/AAAAAAAAQgU/6-Vy32jXgSE7YFj6Ml_NVnpZilZchQySwCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_newHome1g.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1200" width="600px"/></a>
<p>This first card is perfect for anyone buying a new home, moving, or if you have moved. The inside sentiment says "The address may have changed, but the welcome is still the same." I think it's a perfect sentiment to create address change announcements with!</p>
<p>I started this card by stamping the front door in Memento Tuxedo black ink and then masked it off. I stamped the "siding" across the background and did a little very simple shading and coloring with Copics. I'm talking flat one color and then one shade darker to add simple shadows.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YCCBkOMfJfE/XJ61WSaR1II/AAAAAAAAQf0/PYVtFz70vaEzZQhonifRSauNtUvHPRGdACLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_newHome1f.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YCCBkOMfJfE/XJ61WSaR1II/AAAAAAAAQf0/PYVtFz70vaEzZQhonifRSauNtUvHPRGdACLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_newHome1f.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>All of the porchscaping - is that a word - it is now. All of the plants, pots, and porch light were stamped, colored with Copics and then die cut with the New Home companion die. I did a bit of layering with my flowers, so I adhered some directly to the base and others I popped up with a little foam adhesive.</p>
<p>For the next card, I wanted to simplify it a bit. You know, do a little less coloring. The images are pretty good sized and this little scene takes up the majority of an A2 card front. Well, I may have mentioned that my oldest son has an affinity for my Copics...which wouldn't be a problem if he would just order the refills when needed! So, my color choices were limited and some, make that most, were running out of ink.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B1BEMsqbJh0/XJ68e8H3uCI/AAAAAAAAQg8/Td-ndlT90hIKtyDMZZezJHpNuP0j-xBDwCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_newHome2i.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B1BEMsqbJh0/XJ68e8H3uCI/AAAAAAAAQg8/Td-ndlT90hIKtyDMZZezJHpNuP0j-xBDwCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_newHome2i.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>So I decided to go for an all white house and trim with a bold blue door. And I'm not mad about it. I actually love the way this one turned out.</p>
<!--<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S5oXAXhoI6A/XJ67m6bRo0I/AAAAAAAAQg0/mgbv6zvwzyIKbQHDKHupGUmKMTqoSWawgCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_newHome2h.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S5oXAXhoI6A/XJ67m6bRo0I/AAAAAAAAQg0/mgbv6zvwzyIKbQHDKHupGUmKMTqoSWawgCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_newHome2h.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>-->
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YFXYXkSKSkE/XJ6665xD-3I/AAAAAAAAQgs/Y1Nm7dEAZUURnemWfVLPAQIz_gBGuqIpQCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_newHome2g.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YFXYXkSKSkE/XJ6665xD-3I/AAAAAAAAQgs/Y1Nm7dEAZUURnemWfVLPAQIz_gBGuqIpQCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_newHome2g.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1200" width="600px" /></a>
<p>This time, I swapped out the topiary trees fro more planters. You'll notice that I doubled up some of the flowers in the larger pots. I do not have a green thumb, and I have no potted flowers to speak of, but I know I've seen these mixed pots done. So why not here?! LOL I added some of the taller flowers in to give a little height and weight so they would look more substantial next to that bold blue door.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4GrJ-KL56Tw/XJ65-RpZHXI/AAAAAAAAQgg/6moOukU21FEggcrZWq8ez2nuHabSjywiACLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_newHome2f.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4GrJ-KL56Tw/XJ65-RpZHXI/AAAAAAAAQgg/6moOukU21FEggcrZWq8ez2nuHabSjywiACLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_newHome2f.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>For a little extra texture, I embellished the flowers with a little Glossy Accents and Nuvo Drops.</p>
<p>For the sentiment, I used a couple of our other new products. The new Welcome Wreath and Welcome wafer die compliment the New Home products beautifully. I cut "thanks" from the Welcome wafer die several times and stacked one on top of the other. "For Your Hospitality", from the Welcome Wreath stamp set, was heat embossed in white onto black card stock and adhered with foam tape. </p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PI-58mSSeds/XJ62jI5JSrI/AAAAAAAAQgI/-p5Yyo_IhTc2q7jQT1XGpU3sSo6tzReewCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_newHome3.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PI-58mSSeds/XJ62jI5JSrI/AAAAAAAAQgI/-p5Yyo_IhTc2q7jQT1XGpU3sSo6tzReewCLcBGAs/s1600/wp9_newHome3.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I had a blast playing with this set! I have pieces and parts for more cards already colored, cut out and just waiting - so don't you worry, you'll see more of this set.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for stopping by! I'll be back very soon with more from this release!</p>

HAPPY WISHES<p>Hello crafty friends! I have a fun technique to share today. And I'll warn you ahead of time, it is addictive!</p>
<p>I don't know about you, but I'm a sucker for a pretty pattern. However, I have a love/hate relationship with patterned paper. I love to look at it, but I hate to cut into it! Hence why I love to stamp out my own. </p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-REsK6kN3nF0/XH3Lvo6OYMI/AAAAAAAAQWI/r4ZKFVrIMFo6BE_Gfq-ptgEDrLGKwVi3gCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes3f.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-REsK6kN3nF0/XH3Lvo6OYMI/AAAAAAAAQWI/r4ZKFVrIMFo6BE_Gfq-ptgEDrLGKwVi3gCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes3f.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="917" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I can't tell you how many times I get halfway through stamping out a pattern only to stamp an image too close or not close enough and then the "seamless" is off, or one area overlaps that shouldn't. Now normally I go with the flow and figure out a way to cover or cut out that area, but sometimes I have to start over.</p>
<p>Today's technique shows you how to take out the guess work and stamp perfect patterns every time. With the tiniest bit of pre-planning, you'll be stamping out as many pretty patterns as you'd like.</p>

<p>Bonus? Once you've set up your "template", it can be reused again and again with different color combinations! </p>
<p>Let me apologize up front for the poor picture quality today. My DSLR settings seem to have mysteriously gone awry, combined with a rainy day(s)...and well, you get the point. I'll have to figure that out.</p>
<p>This is one of those that is definitely a show, rather than tell technique, so be sure to watch the video. Here, I'll go over each card along with the color combos and products used. You will need a stamp positioning tool for this - I've used the standard sized MISTI - but whichever you have will do. As the name suggests, repeating pattern, you will be doing a lot of repetitive stamping of a simple floral motif. The MISTI makes this super quick, easy, and best of all...accurate.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qz9bTM6pl9g/XH3LwBgMoqI/AAAAAAAAQWM/HwNY9u6zS0EEtVAngImfM23xwUQjzVcyACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes3g.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qz9bTM6pl9g/XH3LwBgMoqI/AAAAAAAAQWM/HwNY9u6zS0EEtVAngImfM23xwUQjzVcyACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes3g.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="994" width="600px"/></a>
<p>All of the patterns today were stamped using the <em>Happy Wishes</em> stamp set. (All products will be listed at the end of this post for reference) This first pair of cards comes from the same pattern. I stamped out a 6x6" inch pattern using the following Wplus9 <span style="font-family: georgia;"><B>PURE</b>COLOR</span> ink color combination:</p>
<h2>Color Combo 1</h2>
<ul>
<li>Warm Wool</li>
<li>Flamingo</li>
<li>Fairy Dust</li>
<li>Wild Mango</li>
<li>Last Leaf</li>
</ul>
<p>For the first card, I trimmed a 4 x 5.25" panel from the patterned paper and mounted it to a standard card base with foam tape. The sentiment, also from <em>Happy Wishes</em> was stamped onto a die cut circle using the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circle wafer dies. To accent the sentiment, I stamped a few extra floral elements, die cut them using the <em>Happy Wishes Die</em> and used them to flanked the sentiment with a few floral clusters.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f1LwXjjUaKI/XH3OXj4BzyI/AAAAAAAAQXA/9j2JDlrzlukiUlHFDnYyPAvpUt0SAW9dwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes3h.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f1LwXjjUaKI/XH3OXj4BzyI/AAAAAAAAQXA/9j2JDlrzlukiUlHFDnYyPAvpUt0SAW9dwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes3h.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="594" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I had some left over pieces of pattern from where I trimmed out the panel from the first card, and used them to die cut a couple of envelopes from using the <em>Love Notes Die</em>. I also cut a few of the floral images from the patterned scraps using the <em>Happy Wishes Die</em>.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iRCFCBOoMAY/XH3LxHCv1nI/AAAAAAAAQWU/AwUnjl32Q24jpAp4sMRbJLp1w95ChEp7wCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes5a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iRCFCBOoMAY/XH3LxHCv1nI/AAAAAAAAQWU/AwUnjl32Q24jpAp4sMRbJLp1w95ChEp7wCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes5a.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="735" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I arranged all of the pieces in a little vignette and stamped my sentiment below it.</p>
<p>I knew I wanted to place all of this on a white base, but it felt a little too plain with all of the white on white, so I added a little bit of texture to the background using my score board and stylus. I have a video on this technique <a href="https://stampawaywithme.blogspot.com/2018/12/farmhouse-style-wdawn-ft-faux-shiplap.html" target="_blank">in this post</a> for more on how to do that.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BsTPp3TjLNY/XH3LxuGERTI/AAAAAAAAQWY/L96lUev4CyQGaOawVGwqRavYb9j3OpZBQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes5b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BsTPp3TjLNY/XH3LxuGERTI/AAAAAAAAQWY/L96lUev4CyQGaOawVGwqRavYb9j3OpZBQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes5b.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="903" width="600px"/></a>
<p>The next card uses the same color combo as the previous ones, except I chose to use a bit more of Last Leaf. Switching up which color you use more predominately in a pattern can give it a whole different feel. </p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cun5dg4tWzk/XH3LudiEbSI/AAAAAAAAQV8/7US0p01mtZQBTm9UlR9CkoBDr8h4uOJ-wCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes3b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cun5dg4tWzk/XH3LudiEbSI/AAAAAAAAQV8/7US0p01mtZQBTm9UlR9CkoBDr8h4uOJ-wCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes3b.jpg" data-original-width="1011" data-original-height="1011" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I trimmed this one down to 5" square and mounted it to a 5.25" card base. Again, I used the same main sentiment and added the "on your special day" and placed both on a hexagon label die cut from the <em>Clear Cut Stackers: Hexagon Die</em>. More little floral images stamped and die cut flank the top and bottom of the sentiment.</p>
<p>This time I added some texture to the background by using a couple sizes of the <em>Clear Cut Stackers: Hexagon Die</em> to dry emboss instead of cutting. I nested them in the center of my background and swapped out my cutting mats for my embossing mats in the Big Shot. This allows the dies to emboss rather than cut.</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-575zcBW0X_o/XH3Lwi5RJHI/AAAAAAAAQWQ/CScl33tkzUEoBOiZQ8MnWfx0PngrlizCQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes4a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-575zcBW0X_o/XH3Lwi5RJHI/AAAAAAAAQWQ/CScl33tkzUEoBOiZQ8MnWfx0PngrlizCQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes4a.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="571" width="600px"/></a>
<p>The next card uses many of the same colors, but I swapped out the Fairy Dust for Miami Spice. I also changed my floral motif a bit and used some different images from the set.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YuBFhfqkpQM/XH3LyFWHecI/AAAAAAAAQWc/KuvExAmmTDUP_OKDhol9EJ1_rKvi2YuPACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes6.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YuBFhfqkpQM/XH3LyFWHecI/AAAAAAAAQWc/KuvExAmmTDUP_OKDhol9EJ1_rKvi2YuPACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes6.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<h2>Color Combo 2</h2>
<ul>
<li>Warm Wool</li>
<li>Flamingo</li>
<li>Miami Spice</li>
<li>Wild Mango</li>
<li>Last Leaf</li>
</ul>
<p>I trimmed the paper down to 4 x 5.25", cutting from the side rather than the middle makes the pattern appear to be more random. If you prefer to retain the "radial" effect of the pattern, be sure to cut your panel from the center of your paper. Again, I used the <em>Clear Cut Stackers: Hexagon Die</em> to cut a hexagon from my pattern and nested a smaller hexagon inside with my sentiment. This time I used the <em>Bold Banner Greetings</em> stamp set.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1E_r1mqDX0Q/XH3LyuCNciI/AAAAAAAAQWg/ckIZpnRWvg0ZwCsU8d6mMK0DTy2t8DgmACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes7.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1E_r1mqDX0Q/XH3LyuCNciI/AAAAAAAAQWg/ckIZpnRWvg0ZwCsU8d6mMK0DTy2t8DgmACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes7.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>And this final card really just lets the pattern shine. I used the following color combo:</p>
<h2>Color Combo 3</h2>
<ul>
<li>Warm Wool</li>
<li>Sweet Nectar</li>
<li>Shell Pink</li>
<li>Nautical Navy</li>
<li>Last Leaf</li>
<li>Sea Breeze</li>
</ul>
<p>This time I used the MISTI to stamp out only the largest elements - the large leaf segment and the large flowers. I then came in and hand stamped the rest of the filler images in a more random pattern to fill in the empty spaces. I made sure to repeat some of the same elements across the clusters but didn't worry about making them exact. For the sentiment, I stamped "you're the best" from the <em>Basic Labels</em> stamp set in the middle.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h_cT3gyOrTE/XH3LzJoBIvI/AAAAAAAAQWk/akP-OL90cxMzVqOPJbLncDkQ1hugRLK9QCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes7b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h_cT3gyOrTE/XH3LzJoBIvI/AAAAAAAAQWk/akP-OL90cxMzVqOPJbLncDkQ1hugRLK9QCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_happyWishes7b.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="878" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I hope you enjoyed today's projects and that it gives you some ideas on ways to use this technique. Try it with different images like critters or basic shapes, layering stamps and outlined images. The possibilities are endless!</p>
Thanks for stopping by and I will see you next time!

Today I'm sharing two cards that use the same base images. By simply switching up the placement and using different bases, I'm able to achieve two totally different looks. Both cards feature the stamp set <em>He is Risen</em> stamps and die.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S4StpM2JUYg/XJBTVzQvJMI/AAAAAAAAQdc/F3AcAsfZmTYQlefzDz7u3kuaB6LRSF4lACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_JoniAndaya_HeIsRisen4a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S4StpM2JUYg/XJBTVzQvJMI/AAAAAAAAQdc/F3AcAsfZmTYQlefzDz7u3kuaB6LRSF4lACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_JoniAndaya_HeIsRisen4a.jpg" data-original-width="900" data-original-height="1110" width="600px"/></a>
<p>To begin, I first ink blended Distress Oxide Ink in Abandon Coral onto pink cardstock for my background. I then stamped the lilies with black ink, colored them with Copic Makers and cut them out using the companion die.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vY0do150od0/XJBVmBcdHeI/AAAAAAAAQdo/38kToSU4N-gijdSo9RsXz2oNqv8wUDqvwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_JoniAndaya_HeIsRisen4b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vY0do150od0/XJBVmBcdHeI/AAAAAAAAQdo/38kToSU4N-gijdSo9RsXz2oNqv8wUDqvwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_JoniAndaya_HeIsRisen4b.jpg" data-original-width="900" data-original-height="803" width="600px"/></a>
<p>Next, I stamped the sentiment - included in the <em>He Is Risen</em> stamp set - in black and colored the banner with Copic Marker for interest. I then adhered the flowers and leaves with foam tape for dimension. To finish off the card, I added a few jewels from Pretty Pink Posh.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T9ON6Ls19Ik/XJBVmFyj_2I/AAAAAAAAQds/gxPKQC-6ylQkF_IWB3H2joqEmjlFy6NRACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_JoniAndaya_HeIsRisen4c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T9ON6Ls19Ik/XJBVmFyj_2I/AAAAAAAAQds/gxPKQC-6ylQkF_IWB3H2joqEmjlFy6NRACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_JoniAndaya_HeIsRisen4c.jpg" data-original-width="900" data-original-height="881" width="600px"/></a>
<p>For the second card, I also distressed the card base with Distress Oxide Ink, but this time I used Black Soot, Faded Jeans, and Peacock Feathers.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f9ICWtGuI3w/XJBXw_MxOHI/AAAAAAAAQd4/Sp2aMeHEAiIq99NMHyQzAN7QeuhWdQxZQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_JoniAndaya_HeIsRisen5a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f9ICWtGuI3w/XJBXw_MxOHI/AAAAAAAAQd4/Sp2aMeHEAiIq99NMHyQzAN7QeuhWdQxZQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_JoniAndaya_HeIsRisen5a.jpg" data-original-width="900" data-original-height="1132" width="600px"/></a>
<p>Next, I splattered a little water on the card base to give it interest, since the Distress Oxide Inks react with water. The flowers and leaves were again colored with Copic Markers, but I changed the placement of the images to give it a different look.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EXM3qvSYtmk/XJBXw48EpvI/AAAAAAAAQd8/A0D6XAWAnp8s3GA7L7Bi8167K9ky9YRBQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_JoniAndaya_HeIsRisen5b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EXM3qvSYtmk/XJBXw48EpvI/AAAAAAAAQd8/A0D6XAWAnp8s3GA7L7Bi8167K9ky9YRBQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_JoniAndaya_HeIsRisen5b.jpg" data-original-width="900" data-original-height="732" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I also switched up the sentiment on this one. I used another sentiment, also included in the same set, and heat embossed it in white on a black cardstock to make the sentiment pop. I adhered everything with foam tape and again, added some jewels from Pretty Pink Posh to finish off the card.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ee4Uj4Jdlus/XJBXwwnuzfI/AAAAAAAAQeA/CSZN9UQohMofc7mtEiAHyr_iqWqeJBCkwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_JoniAndaya_HeIsRisen5c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ee4Uj4Jdlus/XJBXwwnuzfI/AAAAAAAAQeA/CSZN9UQohMofc7mtEiAHyr_iqWqeJBCkwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_JoniAndaya_HeIsRisen5c.jpg" data-original-width="900" data-original-height="883" width="600px"/></a>

<p>We will be performing maintenance on the <a href="http://www.wplus9.com" target="_blank">Wplus9 Store</a> over the next couple of days. This may cause the site to be intermittently unavailable and/or our mail to be down.</p>
<p><b>Don't worry, we are not going anywhere!</b>
<p>In fact we will have a new release coming up at the end of the month, which is why I wanted to take care of these necessary server changes now.</p>
<p>I apologize for the inconvenience this might cause and appreciate your patience.</p>

I have 3 cards to share with you, because as usual, I couldn’t stop at just one stamp set or card design. I stamped all of today’s cards onto Strathmore Bristol smooth card stock and colored them with Distress Markers and a water brush.</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AgZYEpC_3tg/XIlc1ImBxAI/AAAAAAAAQck/hJsfPs06fS0tSMGzrhb-Edx3_Z5bCfVXwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_fierceFabulous1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AgZYEpC_3tg/XIlc1ImBxAI/AAAAAAAAQck/hJsfPs06fS0tSMGzrhb-Edx3_Z5bCfVXwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_fierceFabulous1a.jpg" data-original-width="960" data-original-height="960" width="600px"/></a>
<p>The first two cards are a variation of each other, one being a vertical design and the other a horizontal card. I stamped the images for each with the MISTI so that I could get the same placement for each one. </p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0vsbKOVT3CQ/XIlc1FlpJ9I/AAAAAAAAQcs/OIh5nIzmWskm6xJSmuxmWPlIPPLtx4EeACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_fierceFabulous1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0vsbKOVT3CQ/XIlc1FlpJ9I/AAAAAAAAQcs/OIh5nIzmWskm6xJSmuxmWPlIPPLtx4EeACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_fierceFabulous1b.jpg" data-original-width="960" data-original-height="960" width="600px"/></a>
<p>For both cards, I stamped with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I began by stamping the Fierce & Fabulous sentiment, but I wanted to simplify the sentiment by letting it just say “you are fabulous”. I did this by placing my stamp in the MISTI, then covering the “fierce” and “amazing” with two strips of tape, inking up the rest of the stamp, removing the tape and then stamping on the card stock and heat embossing. Next, I put the card stock back in the MISTI and stamped again with two of the floral sets from the Hello & Thanks stamp set again, positioning them to fit the arrangement of the word “fabulous”.
</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hLsvAU7PLi0/XIlc1E59JOI/AAAAAAAAQco/Xck3WA__PcYxt_3kC2FRutvraKF483X2ACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_fierceFabulous1c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hLsvAU7PLi0/XIlc1E59JOI/AAAAAAAAQco/Xck3WA__PcYxt_3kC2FRutvraKF483X2ACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_fierceFabulous1c.jpg" data-original-width="960" data-original-height="960" width="600px"/></a>
<p>For the card above, I colored the flowers and leaves with some of the same colors as I used on the first card I shared. I used a water brush to blend and move the color, and shared some of that color to blend into the background behind the flowers and the sentiment words and finished off with some water brushed ink splatters. I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the card panel and popped it up onto a card front covered with a couple of coordinating patterned papers.
</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4U5894ZG8Oc/XIlc1s3SXQI/AAAAAAAAQcw/bTxLS4XVmh0cyUfyxwGfdVWQJ88B13_GACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_fierceFabulous1d.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4U5894ZG8Oc/XIlc1s3SXQI/AAAAAAAAQcw/bTxLS4XVmh0cyUfyxwGfdVWQJ88B13_GACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_fierceFabulous1d.jpg" data-original-width="960" data-original-height="960" width="600px"/></a>
<p>For the second card, I left a few of the flowers white, lightly shading them with some grey ink so it didn’t look like I just forgot to color them (grin), and color-painted the leaves blooms and background as I did above. I die cut this panel smaller and aligned it on a portrait oriented card front with a coordinating cardstock mat and some striped patterned paper. Once again, some Tonic Studio Nuvo Drops complete these cards.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6IS6rj_DBEw/XIlc2CEHuNI/AAAAAAAAQc0/Ds9ZbCr1N9ooqkx-Ds0UiAB6jjg9GT1ngCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_fierceFabulous1e.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6IS6rj_DBEw/XIlc2CEHuNI/AAAAAAAAQc0/Ds9ZbCr1N9ooqkx-Ds0UiAB6jjg9GT1ngCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_fierceFabulous1e.jpg" data-original-width="960" data-original-height="960" width="600px"/></a>
<p>The last card I'm sharing today, again uses the Hello & Thanks stamp set, but this time I've paired it with the Tossed Florals stamp set.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hDFHE91xQo4/XIlc2njOXYI/AAAAAAAAQc4/u3e63-izXUEm_VKAhCQYuC_5Z_FGK8-ZwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_helloThanks1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hDFHE91xQo4/XIlc2njOXYI/AAAAAAAAQc4/u3e63-izXUEm_VKAhCQYuC_5Z_FGK8-ZwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_helloThanks1a.jpg" data-original-width="960" data-original-height="960" width="600px"/></a>
<p>The background is stamped all over with the Tossed Florals stamp using Versafine Onyx Black ink and the focal image is a combination of images masked and built with the Hello & Thanks stamp set, the teacup, saucer, one of the floral bouquets and the “hello” sentiment.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iSO_fy0pm8I/XIlc3CzBOdI/AAAAAAAAQc8/2JXlfJeU7fYX66CKIRvMH4ox3X9AmY8UACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_helloThanks1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iSO_fy0pm8I/XIlc3CzBOdI/AAAAAAAAQc8/2JXlfJeU7fYX66CKIRvMH4ox3X9AmY8UACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_helloThanks1b.jpg" data-original-width="960" data-original-height="960" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I used the same colors of markers for the teacup image as I’d used for the background to keep everything cohesive, and once colored (painted?) and dry, I splattered with the same colors by scribbling onto my splat mat and picking up the color with a very wet paint brush and tapping lightly above the paper to rain down tiny sprinkle dots. Then I stamped the sentiment over top and heat embossed with clear embossing powder to help it stand out. I die cut the focal image with a stitched square die and matted it with a grey card stock that matched my ink color and popped that up with some dimensional foam tape. A few Tonic Nuvo Drops in silver grey complete this card.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-98cYN9IZ0bE/XIlc3u0pV9I/AAAAAAAAQdA/UlXn5BDlurwq9E0OPORypX_CJGFrpT_tQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_helloThanks1c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-98cYN9IZ0bE/XIlc3u0pV9I/AAAAAAAAQdA/UlXn5BDlurwq9E0OPORypX_CJGFrpT_tQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_norineBorys_helloThanks1c.jpg" data-original-width="960" data-original-height="960" width="600px"/></a>

Today, I thought I'd have a go at taking a feminine set - Flock Yeah! - and giving it a masculine feel.</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tB2rN9JtCIY/W0UsenIb3QI/AAAAAAAAPqc/egS414FW1vo8HnUhhj7UVSOp0MIh-kAOACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_FlockYeah3A.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tB2rN9JtCIY/W0UsenIb3QI/AAAAAAAAPqc/egS414FW1vo8HnUhhj7UVSOp0MIh-kAOACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_FlockYeah3A.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="763" width="600px" /></a>
<p>Now, I said I was going to challenge myself not to use black on my next project and I failed. Even though I failed my personal challenge, I was successful in creating a card that I love. These flamingos in shades of black and gray look so cool! As they say, If it ain't broke, don't fix it!</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ETaRYX9oJYQ/W0UtBc7x2LI/AAAAAAAAPqk/BbXC0iqErP4v7zNQlzPMGJMlmY0mn4-aQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_FlockYeah3b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ETaRYX9oJYQ/W0UtBc7x2LI/AAAAAAAAPqk/BbXC0iqErP4v7zNQlzPMGJMlmY0mn4-aQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_FlockYeah3b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="530" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I started stamping my background by placing the main flamingo in the center of my card panel. Working off that main image I stamped vertical rows of flamingos. I stamped them head to head and toe to toe. I knew that center flamingo was going to be my focal point so I stamped and die cut another and colored it with gray Copic markers (T1, T4, T6). I added black Copic coloring to all of their beaks and some clear Wink Of Stella because it just looks so pretty. I finished off the design with some party accessories and a sentiment from Oh My Gostrich! (the "brother" set of Flock Yeah!)</p>
<p>Speaking of Oh My Gostrich! This design would look equally as great swapping out the flamingos for the ostrich.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L6cLLcS2bFo/W0UtpCL9bfI/AAAAAAAAPqw/Pz8h-cVTtjEPjB7YNbHhaL4BeV_Gi_GTgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_FlockYeah3c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L6cLLcS2bFo/W0UtpCL9bfI/AAAAAAAAPqw/Pz8h-cVTtjEPjB7YNbHhaL4BeV_Gi_GTgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_FlockYeah3c.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="677" width="600px"/></a>
<p>Hopefully this gives you some ideas. Take a look at your stash and see if there are any "feminine" sets that could fit a masculine theme just by switching up the colors.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for stopping by today.</p>

GARDEN BUDDIES<p>Hello again. It's Kara. With Spring fast approaching, I decided to bring out another great set centered on gardening called <em>Garden Buddies</em>.</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LkYhLf31gzQ/XIB2O76XFiI/AAAAAAAAQcA/55C9-T0fNCQDCkKxpPd7Si5CAfjUtvRCwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_gardenBuddies4a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LkYhLf31gzQ/XIB2O76XFiI/AAAAAAAAQcA/55C9-T0fNCQDCkKxpPd7Si5CAfjUtvRCwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_gardenBuddies4a.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1138" width="600px"/></a>
<p>This is such a cute set. For me, the best feature of this set are all of the small details. The watering can, spade, bird... All these tiny images are so adorable and versatile.</p>
<p>I used them here to create an all-over background design as well as part of the focal point. For the background I added all of the stamps to an acrylic block and stamped them all at once. Then I just kept turning the stamp until that background was full. It looks random, but took no time at all to stamp.</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KP6L_7pU80Q/XIB3Ui1KkcI/AAAAAAAAQcM/qQ4tpaFiOu49Gd93fCaGwyWkRrH0IOZOACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_gardenBuddies4b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KP6L_7pU80Q/XIB3Ui1KkcI/AAAAAAAAQcM/qQ4tpaFiOu49Gd93fCaGwyWkRrH0IOZOACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_gardenBuddies4b.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1067" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I love this little girl with her arms outstretched. She appears to be juggling all of those little images. I colored them with Copic markers. The circle was cut with the large circle from <em>Love Mom Layers</em> and colored with a little yellow Distress Ink.</p>
<p>Super simple to create, but an adorable way to send some sunshine to a friend or loved one!</p>

<p>I've got a different kind of post for you today. I hope you don't mind.</p>
<p>One of the questions that I've received many times over the years is "What does your craft space look like?" or "What are your top organization tips?" And I really had to laugh to myself.</p>
<p>1. My craft studio <em>was</em> a blight on our home. You know...if someone showed up unannounced, the first thing I did was b-line it to the studio to make sure the door was closed.</p>
<p>2. I should never, ever, under any circumstances be allowed to offer organization tips. Ask my husband.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2ztUACNMqho/XIAKoJeexFI/AAAAAAAAQa4/WErZc68KUWAczbofk9YdKoeLyQVMtGMUACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter3b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2ztUACNMqho/XIAKoJeexFI/AAAAAAAAQa4/WErZc68KUWAczbofk9YdKoeLyQVMtGMUACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter3b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>Don't judge me. Hey, I had matchy-matchy bins. And in my defense, I knew where every single thing was in each matchy-matchy bin and stack of papers.</p>
<p>For a long time this did not bother me. I'm a create, create, create type of person. I can usually block everything out around me and completely immerse into what I am doing. Stop and clean? What is that? And then it's right into the next thing.</p>
<p>However, for several months, I had found myself burned out and not even wanting to enter the studio. So when my husband and my boys went skiing with the Scouts in January, I decided to tackle the studio. Now, mind you, it started with, I really need to clean and organize, maybe buy a few more baskets. It was reaching hoarder status.</p>
<p>I didn't take any true "before" pictures, because, well, I was just going to clean it out. Once I had removed all of the piles, I proudly sent my husband a picture (see "before" pic above) and my bestie, Kelly. To which they both replied with "are you feeling well?" Given their reactions, to truly appreciate the journey, I'm going to share this in stages of completion. It's going to be picture heavy and I apologize up front. Feel free to skip my banter and just look at the pictures, no offense taken.</p>
<p>With most everything cleaned out, I thought "I really need more organization units/furniture. And maybe a new craft station. (see old writer's desk on risers above)" So, I enlisted my mother and I hit up Pinterest for inspiration. And I fell into the hole of "IKEA hacks". Yes, if you don't know this hole I speak of, save yourself now. But, if you've got a few days to spare, by all means, go ahead. But, I came across <a href="https://www.landeeseelandeedo.com/ikea-hack-craft-room-work-table/" target="_blank">this beauty</a> at <a href="https://www.landeeseelandeedo.com" target="_blank">landeelu.com</a></P>

<P>Y'all, $160! It is inexpensive, counter height with a large work surface, has a smaller footprint and it has built in storage! Disclaimer: as with most things Pinterest, I have no idea if she is the originator of this idea, but it is where I saw it and I followed her recommendation. Don't @ me. I sent another picture. My husband is worried, but not wanting to jinx the momentum.</p>
<p>I made a run to Michaels. I had a coupon and all of their organization was on sale. I ended up grabbing several organization units with shelves and drawers, as well as a bunch of baskets and bins. I think I ended up spending around $200.</p>

<p>Mom and I assembled and then loaded up the closet. For maximum space, we took out (ripped off) the closet doors. Don't worry, we did not leave the closet open in the end...keep reading as they are the pièce de résistance of the room. ;o)</p>
<p>Now that everything was organized and I was on a roll, I decided it was time to tackle the elephant in the room...that oh so lovely shade of green paint left over from my son. His favorite color is green, he chose it, I begrudgingly obliged. By the way, my husband is delighted but seriously worried at this point. He suspects a "project" will be coming for him soon. And he's not wrong.</p>
<p>Because this just started snowballing and if I have to stop and make a choice at this point, it may never happen...I grabbed the leftover paint from when we redid the laundry room last year and started painting.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tIydklrVpNw/XH_nHbpVk3I/AAAAAAAAQYQ/P3DFVlgpXkMLnyUSTyRUa0JzJm0r_uddQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter6.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tIydklrVpNw/XH_nHbpVk3I/AAAAAAAAQYQ/P3DFVlgpXkMLnyUSTyRUa0JzJm0r_uddQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter6.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" WIDTH="600PX"/></a>
<p>I really love the color - Arid Landscape by Behr- so it worked out well. I also rearranged the furniture at this point. I decided to have the craft table in the center, like an island with walking paths all around. It does make the room seem smaller, but it works best with the way the rest of the room is set up and is the most functional for my flow.</p>
<p>With all over the major elements done, it was time for the fun part, decorating and final touches!</p>
<p>This is the view from the doorway. Straight ahead is the crafting/filming station. Directly behind the craft table is one of the bookshelves my husband made for me years ago. My box lights are tucked out of the way on either side, but easy to pull forward when in use. </p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xx9sO6CctCI/XH_qh5an1YI/AAAAAAAAQYc/SXbYxvf1JvkItdEaUwiYD27X516SknLjACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter7.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xx9sO6CctCI/XH_qh5an1YI/AAAAAAAAQYc/SXbYxvf1JvkItdEaUwiYD27X516SknLjACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter7.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1372" width="600px"/></a>
<p>All of the canvas storage boxes were purchased from Amazon. I just ordered a bunch all at the same time so I would have matching ones as I grew into them.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n8LGOk_SceI/XH_txRCckdI/AAAAAAAAQYo/eMxqg0DYjgM4QTfIsyHhgbQEhebSq95cgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter8.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n8LGOk_SceI/XH_txRCckdI/AAAAAAAAQYo/eMxqg0DYjgM4QTfIsyHhgbQEhebSq95cgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter8.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1372" width="600px" /></a>
<p>The cubbies on the craft table are accessible from both sides, so I have crafty items in the cubes. Colored pencils, pencil sharpener, blender stumps, gamsol, etc in one. Laminator, Minc, foils etc in another. Yo get the point. My most used tools are housed on the bookshelf. Easy to reach and easy to store. Win-Win.</p>
<p>My video camera lives on the tripod there, but, I do eventually want to take out the ceiling fan and mount the camera from the ceiling. I haven't asked for that yet...but it's on the list.</p>
<p>I opted for a black top on my craft desk because I wanted it to tie in with my work desk which is black. So if you pan to the right of the room, you'll find said work desk.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CTY9prurmKo/XH_2QdLhSNI/AAAAAAAAQY8/DhNN5zQzOLUjkaMw0wKC-rkZHi-jMxyIwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter10.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CTY9prurmKo/XH_2QdLhSNI/AAAAAAAAQY8/DhNN5zQzOLUjkaMw0wKC-rkZHi-jMxyIwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter10.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="1022" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I picked this up from <a href="https://www.ballarddesigns.com/furniture/home-office/collections/oho/?cm_re=Furniture+HO+Modular+LP-_-MJJ15-_-OHO" target="_blank">Ballard Designs</a> about 10 years ago. It's a classic piece that was NOT inexpensive so the rest of the room had to work around it. Side Note: when I went to grab this hot link, I noticed they are having a 20% off sitewide sale + an extra 5% off $500 or more. Lord help me. This isn't sponsored or affiliate linked, but it is my favorite store. </p>
<p>The shelves above and the filing bin above the desk are also from Ballard. The chair and lamp are both from IKEA. The farmhouse sign and the frame holding the cards below were both coupon buys from Michaels.</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9-8HmncWIsU/XH_-XLXHxyI/AAAAAAAAQZk/3Y7ExjL6nDYMIXBDU_mBsNiXkEueobjdQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter15.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9-8HmncWIsU/XH_-XLXHxyI/AAAAAAAAQZk/3Y7ExjL6nDYMIXBDU_mBsNiXkEueobjdQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter15.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="978" width="600px"/></a>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aZdR097nC0Q/XH_-XEo-l7I/AAAAAAAAQZo/twKT0nJotg09Q0wYlnWVp0ZkHNORDskdQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter14.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aZdR097nC0Q/XH_-XEo-l7I/AAAAAAAAQZo/twKT0nJotg09Q0wYlnWVp0ZkHNORDskdQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter14.jpg" data-original-width="1100" data-original-height="1257" width="600px"/></a>
<p>While I was ordering from IKEA, I also picked up this set of Alex Drawers. I didn't know exactly what I was going to do with it at the time, but figured I could work it in somewhere. That somewhere happened to be at the end of my work desk and fits my printer perfectly. This freed up a ton of space on my desk that was previously housing the printer. All of my fine art supplies and printer supplies are in these drawers. </p>
<p>So that brings us to the final piece. The big ask. Which, I just casually mentioned to my husband "would be nice", and to my surprise, he agreed. Right away. Remember the open closet from earlier. Well....</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ee-g-RcjQgk/XIAIoPCN75I/AAAAAAAAQak/irieilCxZe8aRqJK3D2-uYFtZ4GjQvxfgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter20.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ee-g-RcjQgk/XIAIoPCN75I/AAAAAAAAQak/irieilCxZe8aRqJK3D2-uYFtZ4GjQvxfgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter20.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1372" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I am beyond excited to have these guys! My husband and I built them and hung them over two weekends. We purchased the hardware from <a href="https://www.industrialbydesignco.com" target="_blank">Industrial By Design</a>. We ended up buying the 8' rail and trimmed it down to a little over 7.5'. I opted for 3 smaller doors instead of door standard ones to give the most access when fully opened. And they kinda make a "W" when closed. LOL</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xPFPuRLJDPk/XIAHy8OnQ8I/AAAAAAAAQac/49O9l1RKE0g73UGSX1ZSxr4UkKCy4HanwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter19.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xPFPuRLJDPk/XIAHy8OnQ8I/AAAAAAAAQac/49O9l1RKE0g73UGSX1ZSxr4UkKCy4HanwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter19.jpg" data-original-width="900" data-original-height="1088" width="600px" /></a>
<p>I went back and forth on whether to stain or paint the doors, but in the end went with painting as we could use cheaper pine wood. Instead I splurged on the header board, choosing cedar and stained it. I love the way cedar stains and having the wood element makes my earthy Taurus heart happy.</p>
<p>The majority of all of my craft supplies are stored here in the closet. I really don't have an excess of supplies and I don't suffer from "full set syndrome". So this setup works perfect for me. However, I still have plenty of room to grow if needed.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-89D91nAG9s8/XIAlvGj8J8I/AAAAAAAAQbE/BkZgk2dTSVM-ZNbBtwd72RYK9kclzfQngCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter21.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-89D91nAG9s8/XIAlvGj8J8I/AAAAAAAAQbE/BkZgk2dTSVM-ZNbBtwd72RYK9kclzfQngCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter21.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="1071" width="600px"/></a>
<p>All in all, I love the way it turned out. I did not intend on doing a complete over haul when I started, but like I said, it just kind of snowballed. There are still a few things I want to do, like the ceiling mount I mentioned. I need to hang the rod and buckets sitting in the chair in the corner, and I'd like to recover that chair cushion as well. And, since I just noticed that Ballard is having a sale, well, I know where I'll be looking for the fabric!</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7jCmmQMrJbw/XIAt_b6Q6CI/AAAAAAAAQbw/LUtiXDoSpJAGlpHQS_YYnj4nEYc5PskpgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter24.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7jCmmQMrJbw/XIAt_b6Q6CI/AAAAAAAAQbw/LUtiXDoSpJAGlpHQS_YYnj4nEYc5PskpgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_craftRoom_beforeAfter24.jpg" data-original-width="1100" data-original-height="1257" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I love the simple high contrast color palette. As much as I love working with color, I can not live with color. Over the years I've learned that being surrounded by lots of color over stimulates me and sends my anxiety into overdrive. I need to be surrounded by neutral earthy tones. So this new space is perfect and already working it's magic on me. ;o)</p>
<p>I hope you enjoyed today's post, I know it is much different than usual. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you're having a great day!</p>

Today I have a birthday card to share using the beautiful <em>Watercolored Anemones</em> stamp set. This is an easy to use multi-step stamp set that creates stunning flowers in a watercolor style. One of my favorites!</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o7UghxFh1pw/XH3AfL_9m6I/AAAAAAAAQVA/5pANs8sauRQ6TOcVxY-4X7sAEglRpvQWACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_watercoloredAnemones6a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o7UghxFh1pw/XH3AfL_9m6I/AAAAAAAAQVA/5pANs8sauRQ6TOcVxY-4X7sAEglRpvQWACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_watercoloredAnemones6a.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="972" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I started by stamping the large bouquet image in a very light grey ink. I used Fairy Dust ink. This creates a base for lining up all of the other stamping, but in the end doesn't show. With that light base as a guide it is super easy to add all of the other layers of the flowers, stems and leaves.</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Fkya9qzw0xg/XH3BQ5pehpI/AAAAAAAAQVI/9RD028tPF30emXtILwMhCG50mlGZVzwHACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_watercoloredAnemones6b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Fkya9qzw0xg/XH3BQ5pehpI/AAAAAAAAQVI/9RD028tPF30emXtILwMhCG50mlGZVzwHACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_watercoloredAnemones6b.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="978" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I chose Last Leaf and Appletini ink for my stems and leaves. I love these two colors together. I'm sure at this point you can tell which colors I used for my flowers. They are my all time favorite Pure Color combination ; Little Piggy, Sweet Gelato and Cranberry Crush accented with a little black center.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6h97EEheFNc/XH3B0HbmToI/AAAAAAAAQVQ/M_2HagMpZd09_pCDz_34q1FyiMklKApzACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_watercoloredAnemones6c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6h97EEheFNc/XH3B0HbmToI/AAAAAAAAQVQ/M_2HagMpZd09_pCDz_34q1FyiMklKApzACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_watercoloredAnemones6c.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="953" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I added my sentiment using the 'happy birthday' from <em>And Many More</em> and the word 'friend' from <em>Modern Anemones</em>. I wanted the sentiment to stand out more among the flowers so I added a frame from <em>Autumn Blessings</em>. I colored in the frame with a black Copic marker and then added some shimmer with a clear glitter pen.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aUFQXJ-pLWY/XH3ChYMHx5I/AAAAAAAAQVc/mjcXdu0uoCsF8jSV5ls0uLgQytj7rZPSwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_watercoloredAnemones6d.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aUFQXJ-pLWY/XH3ChYMHx5I/AAAAAAAAQVc/mjcXdu0uoCsF8jSV5ls0uLgQytj7rZPSwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_watercoloredAnemones6d.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="977" width="600px"/></a>
<p>As one final detail I added a strip of black glitter on black card stock to the right side of the card panel. It's subtle, but in the right light really shines!</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3NQQ_4Zjwh8/XH3Hz3nkIkI/AAAAAAAAQVo/0ypLFXTctUUhXPEoKcub6A0IuNkyGRXzQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_watercoloredAnemones6e.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3NQQ_4Zjwh8/XH3Hz3nkIkI/AAAAAAAAQVo/0ypLFXTctUUhXPEoKcub6A0IuNkyGRXzQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_watercoloredAnemones6e.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="907" width="600px" /></a>

Masculine Card w/Kara <p>February is a very special month. It's my first nephew's birthday. I can't believe his is turning 23! I have had so much fun over the years making boy cards with cute little animals and balloons, but now need something a bit cooler and more grown up, but still fun!</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6KXd1-jwBDc/XHP7AFB7tuI/AAAAAAAAQS4/_opy4_3QG5A2pEaURmrRe8v3A-ciyjBLACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_inkSplats1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6KXd1-jwBDc/XHP7AFB7tuI/AAAAAAAAQS4/_opy4_3QG5A2pEaURmrRe8v3A-ciyjBLACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_inkSplats1a.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="641" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I started with a white card panel and positioned masks in the center that I created using the Whimsy Alphabet Dies. On top of the masks I did my stamping using the Ink Splats stamp set. I chose Lake House, Bo Peep, Falling For Blue and Nautical Navy Dye Ink.</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5TYMkLvy9Bc/XHP7wpUwcHI/AAAAAAAAQTA/x0r-xmtPokIjE6wZT8cCG5v5cmlG42jlwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_inkSplats1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5TYMkLvy9Bc/XHP7wpUwcHI/AAAAAAAAQTA/x0r-xmtPokIjE6wZT8cCG5v5cmlG42jlwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_inkSplats1b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="585" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I removed the masks and gave the ink a little time to dry before stamping the sentiment. I used Strictly Sentiments 5 to create a custom sentiment by pairing two stamps from the set.</p>
<p>Once all of my stamping was done I felt his name, Ryan, didn't stand out enough. ; I decided to use the same Whimsy Alphabet Dies to die cut the letters from the stamped panel. I backed the panel with black cardstock and popped the letters up back in position. This way the sentiment matches up perfectly and the name is more prominent.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for stopping by today. Masculine cards can be so difficult especially to a person like me who loves to create with flowers! But with a few simple stamp sets like Ink Splats and Strictly Sentiments 5, it's quick and easy!</p>

It’s <a href="https://www.sprinkledwithglitter.com" target="_blank">Carissa Wiley</a> here with you today. I have a fun project to share with you featuring the easiest watercolor ever, using water-based makers. </p>

<p>Honestly, I like to refer to this as the lazy watercolor method.</p>

<p>I think a lot of times as crafters, we over think things. We think things have to be complicated or time consuming to get great results. I fall in to this trap a lot and I have to remind myself that sometimes simplicity is best for me….even when it comes to techniques.</p>
<p>I don’t want to downplay the beautiful results that you get with traditional watercolor methods…they are absolutely stunning. But if that is something that is intimidating to you, I want to show you that you can still achieve beautiful results with simple techniques.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zb0x5Kf3vPU/XG7rfu-EncI/AAAAAAAAQSc/BON5AviS0jgx0T-6G0d9mqyz4BMTULGxwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_carissaWiley_helloThanks1e.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zb0x5Kf3vPU/XG7rfu-EncI/AAAAAAAAQSc/BON5AviS0jgx0T-6G0d9mqyz4BMTULGxwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_carissaWiley_helloThanks1e.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="1067" width="600px"/></a>
<p>This card features just a few supplies, including the Hello And Thanks stamps and dies, and Citrus Background Builders stamps from WPlus9 - linked at the end of this post. I added a simple banner from the Bountiful Blooms die set to ground my sentiment.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h9Bk7dCB0tk/XG8a4Erx0_I/AAAAAAAAQSo/JvV8LT9yy5EIf2uEnwTNg8xFcOlct3CDwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_carissaWiley_helloThanks1f.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h9Bk7dCB0tk/XG8a4Erx0_I/AAAAAAAAQSo/JvV8LT9yy5EIf2uEnwTNg8xFcOlct3CDwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_carissaWiley_helloThanks1f.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="551" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I’ll walk you through the creation of this card in today’s video tutorial, so be sure to check that out. I’ll talk you through how I created beautiful watercolor images with just a couple water-based markers and a brush. If you want to watch this video in HD on my YouTube channel, click HERE.

It's been a hot minute since I made a masculine card but when that someone special in my life told me "You've never made me a card" I knew I'd have to figure something out.</p>
<p>Since coffee is kind of a mutual love for us, I started with the Cookies & Cocoa set. That mug was perfectly sized for the idea I had.</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JmMsGWKOtwI/XG7Ki2hM6JI/AAAAAAAAQRM/N4v8bY3eMx0DgGQtkNxwDy87LmwT8r2PACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_kellyLatevola_cookiesCocoa1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JmMsGWKOtwI/XG7Ki2hM6JI/AAAAAAAAQRM/N4v8bY3eMx0DgGQtkNxwDy87LmwT8r2PACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_kellyLatevola_cookiesCocoa1a.jpg" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="953" width="600px" /></a>
<p>It's a party mug!</p>
<p>I thought it would be super cute to incorporate our love for coffee into his card by making his mug celebrate his special day. I used the mirror technique to get both his and hers mugs.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lugnsSlJ0NQ/XG7LQmEq0bI/AAAAAAAAQRU/L4cpERBgWPslAzqJ1MYrcaRqOwDpapRLwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_kellyLatevola_cookiesCocoa1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lugnsSlJ0NQ/XG7LQmEq0bI/AAAAAAAAQRU/L4cpERBgWPslAzqJ1MYrcaRqOwDpapRLwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_kellyLatevola_cookiesCocoa1b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="580" width="600px"/></a>
<p>Once the mugs were stamped I trimmed out a mask for the mug but I needed the negative instead of the positive so I could use all the party images to decorate his bug. I started with the Big Top Background then stamped the party hats and stars from the Unforgettable set. Once that was done I stamped the letters to spell out "His". I used the same mask flipped over to stamp the "Hers" on the other mug.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uRiFCVwzhQ0/XG7L7JbTC4I/AAAAAAAAQRc/QdSkwAjQsv4gWptA-nDjL6OufXLciJ8dwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_kellyLatevola_cookiesCocoa1c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uRiFCVwzhQ0/XG7L7JbTC4I/AAAAAAAAQRc/QdSkwAjQsv4gWptA-nDjL6OufXLciJ8dwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_kellyLatevola_cookiesCocoa1c.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="771" width="600px" /></a>
<p>I used the Basic Labels and some simply masking to create a "Happy Birthday" flag for his mug. Of course no birthday is complete with a few balloons to celebrate. Once the stamping was complete I went to work with my copic markers.</p>
<p>You can see the card from start to finish, including the mirror technique, in the video below.</p>

<p>I love the shine the glossy accents adds! I think this a really fun idea, to create an inanimate object that's celebrating those special days. This would work with a lot of different options. Cars, drinks, any hobbies that person might enjoy. What do you think?</p>

My name is Wanda Guess and I'm very happy to be sharing some cards today on the WPlus9 Blog! Hope you are having a wonderful day! I am an avid paper crafter and blogger and I love to share art with people. I try to do something creative every day. I hope you'll visit my blog - <a href="https://www.ablogcalledwanda.com" target="_blank">A Blog Called Wanda</a>. If I'm not blogging, you will most likely find me sharing photos on Instagram. My Instagram is @stampcatwg. </p>
<p>I'm so excited to be joining the crew at WPlus9. I've been a fan for a very long time! Last year, when WPlus9 launched their tropical themed release, well, my jaw about dropped to the floor! I immediately wanted all of it, and the ideas started flowing right away! I love anything with a tiki, tropical, flamingo vibe. And I love to create with bright bold colors. When Dawn asked me to guest design for today, I went straight for this collection. I have two cards to show you, so let's get started! In the midst of Winter, I'm bringing you a bit of Summer!</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0P6ujo959bM/XGghSUOiHwI/AAAAAAAAQPw/LobpkLri7cQEjMjiT_NY4Khgu2M5U9qXQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_flockYeah1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0P6ujo959bM/XGghSUOiHwI/AAAAAAAAQPw/LobpkLri7cQEjMjiT_NY4Khgu2M5U9qXQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_flockYeah1a.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>What's better than flamingos and flowers? Not much! </p>
<p>I started this card by die cutting the beautiful Trellis Background 2 Die from bright white paper. I cut and folded a horizontal A2 card base. Here's the tricky part... I cut the top of the card base off, leaving about 1/4 of an inch left at the top. Then I lined the inside of the card base with pretty blue paper. I used liquid glue to glue the edge of the Trellis Die to that little folded over part at the top of the card. This makes the Trellis Die Cut piece the front of the card now! I set this part under a stack of books to make it lay flat and continued to make the rest of the card. </p>

<p>I stamped and die cut out leaves, flowers and the flamingo using the Tropic Fever Stamp Set and the Flock Yeah Stamp Set. I colored all the images in tropical colors using Copic Markers. </p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3UuBBjP_tjk/XGgiPuVrcMI/AAAAAAAAQQA/lZ_CF1pQ8Jw33tE7lc_byLsrcFCnMNRwQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_flockYeah1c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3UuBBjP_tjk/XGgiPuVrcMI/AAAAAAAAQQA/lZ_CF1pQ8Jw33tE7lc_byLsrcFCnMNRwQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_flockYeah1c.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="523" width="600px"/></a>
<p>Next I die cut out a black panel using a Stitched Rectangle Die. I used the Flock Yeah stamp set to stamp the sentiment and heat emboss it with white embossing powder. Now all of my pieces were ready to assemble. </p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H6yqw71mlsg/XGgiqga_UDI/AAAAAAAAQQI/vn-ou1gyQ-gYOwRaFZNuisBlevsGQI_LwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_flockYeah1d.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H6yqw71mlsg/XGgiqga_UDI/AAAAAAAAQQI/vn-ou1gyQ-gYOwRaFZNuisBlevsGQI_LwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_flockYeah1d.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="533" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I used small foam squares to attach the center sentiment panel and the flowers, leaves, flamingo to the front of the card. This is a bit tricky since the front of the card is a trellis! However, there is enough room to attach the foam squares so everything will hold tight. On the back of the trellis, I die cut another black rectangle and mirrored that to the front one. </p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XRxEYLI8Lqk/XGgi_KA_7rI/AAAAAAAAQQQ/cRwpQi_BQ1Mi1d-4S03rAVnEM3CoDw_FgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_flockYeah1e.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XRxEYLI8Lqk/XGgi_KA_7rI/AAAAAAAAQQQ/cRwpQi_BQ1Mi1d-4S03rAVnEM3CoDw_FgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_flockYeah1e.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="516" width="600px"/></a>
<p>For this next card I used the Flock Yeah Stamp Set along with another WPlus9 set called Summer Citrus. Those pineapples! Oh my! The sentiment is from the Southern Sentiment Stamp Set. It all works together so nicely for a Hello card!</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OQ2kH2UGEhk/XGgj98_D2KI/AAAAAAAAQQg/vZiwpu23qP82Qe3ImV2dK9OkOmM7GlV_gCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_SummerCitrus1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OQ2kH2UGEhk/XGgj98_D2KI/AAAAAAAAQQg/vZiwpu23qP82Qe3ImV2dK9OkOmM7GlV_gCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_SummerCitrus1a.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I used Stitched Rectangles Dies to die cut a green layer and a white layer for the front of the card. The finished card is an A2 size cut from white cardstock. I used Mermaid Lagoon and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks to create a blue background on that top layer. I splattered Mermaid Lagoon Ink and Copic Opaque White ink over the blue blended background. </p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w1OglDsRz-0/XGgkQyQFYrI/AAAAAAAAQQo/1tMVLcdhvacdhQKkxOD_kENl9HEhc0KPwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_SummerCitrus1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w1OglDsRz-0/XGgkQyQFYrI/AAAAAAAAQQo/1tMVLcdhvacdhQKkxOD_kENl9HEhc0KPwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_SummerCitrus1b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="532" width="600px"/></a>
<p>Next I stamped and die cut the palm trees, the pineapples and the little flowers. I colored them in with Copic Markers. I also used Copic Opaque White ink to splatter white over the images and then set them aside to dry. </p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VduFr4L2UXo/XGgkoMMsovI/AAAAAAAAQQw/8MuRGHtwMx0C8DlvhPo5z0C3pnejB5HDACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_SummerCitrus1c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VduFr4L2UXo/XGgkoMMsovI/AAAAAAAAQQw/8MuRGHtwMx0C8DlvhPo5z0C3pnejB5HDACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_SummerCitrus1c.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="587" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I stamped the sentiment in rich black ink in the upper corner of the card. This is only part of a larger sentiment. I masked off the other part of the sentiment with washi tape and only stamped the "hello" portion. </p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AjF_GmjHP60/XGgk6hh5k4I/AAAAAAAAQQ4/RKYvDD2EmUg66DEa4acuOWm7_BY3zOlOQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_SummerCitrus1d.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AjF_GmjHP60/XGgk6hh5k4I/AAAAAAAAQQ4/RKYvDD2EmUg66DEa4acuOWm7_BY3zOlOQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_wandaGuess_SummerCitrus1d.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="533" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I layered the green and blue layers onto the card base. I used foam squares to attach the palm trees and pineapples to the card. Then I sprinkled a few clear gems to finish it off!</p>

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I needed a card for my husband, Ryan. This card mixes a ton of amazing stamp sets!</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-29GA7aJ5A4c/XGA8gOCkSBI/AAAAAAAAQPY/TLIHrY2PcIIDjDHrQP3mK28he2_Uy3LWgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_helloAndThanks4c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-29GA7aJ5A4c/XGA8gOCkSBI/AAAAAAAAQPY/TLIHrY2PcIIDjDHrQP3mK28he2_Uy3LWgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_helloAndThanks4c.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="701" width="600px" /></a>
<p>I started by stamping the large 'love you' sentiment from Biggest Fan in the center of a white card panel. I positioned it slightly closer to the top because I knew I wanted to accent the bottom with a banner and other details. This way the entire design is centered.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LZFvdlZ0hwo/XGA8KViC0iI/AAAAAAAAQPM/n7ASv3zHOEk36ZzdfQ54ZPqOnar030MUwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_helloAndThanks4b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LZFvdlZ0hwo/XGA8KViC0iI/AAAAAAAAQPM/n7ASv3zHOEk36ZzdfQ54ZPqOnar030MUwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_helloAndThanks4b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="713" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I used the banner from Autumn Blessings. It has a cool tattoo like vibe that I think works really well with the 'love you' font. On it I stamped the 'there's no one else like you' sentiment from No One Else. Again, I think this font really works well with the design.</P>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wFXwys5vDOY/XGA7nm2U45I/AAAAAAAAQPE/BXCQ2O990Y8AUBHBusSbZDUPjpnmblNzQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_helloAndThanks4a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wFXwys5vDOY/XGA7nm2U45I/AAAAAAAAQPE/BXCQ2O990Y8AUBHBusSbZDUPjpnmblNzQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_helloAndThanks4a.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<P>Using my Copic markers I colored flowers from Hello & Thanks to place behind the banner. On top of the banner I placed a butterfly from Butterfly Mandala. Since the butterfly was placed on the right I accented the left of the design with a few hearts from Biggest Fan to balance it all out.</P>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yYjE02MsqeM/XGA9uY3g9FI/AAAAAAAAQPk/5_gekTcV03ksiFryJwsIYRo9LljVYDkJgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_helloAndThanks4D.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yYjE02MsqeM/XGA9uY3g9FI/AAAAAAAAQPk/5_gekTcV03ksiFryJwsIYRo9LljVYDkJgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_helloAndThanks4D.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="735" width="600px"/></a>
<P>I just love how these classic images, when used together with a few more modern styles, take on a much more updated look.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for stopping by today!</p>

HELLO & THANKS<p>Hello! I'm back again with a clean and simple card design that reminds me of a Victorian style photo frame. A lot of the detail is created with texture from some of my favorite dies. Brightly colored florals accentuate the focal point and make it pop. With the help of the many customizable sentiment stamp sets, this is a design that can be used for any occasion.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tWy-vW9ONzc/XFRlN2UEr5I/AAAAAAAAQOQ/aAD0OZVRaTIqFRB5cLhe-qKXWpxgrp4UgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_helloAndThanks3a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tWy-vW9ONzc/XFRlN2UEr5I/AAAAAAAAQOQ/aAD0OZVRaTIqFRB5cLhe-qKXWpxgrp4UgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_helloAndThanks3a.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="688" width="600px"/></a>
<p>To begin creating the 'frame' I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the Sunshine Layers Die, a real classic. I placed the large oval die, from the Basic Labels Die, in the center and ran it through my die cut machine again. Using a scrap of black cardstock, I die cut the oval once more in order to place behind the opening and add a shadow to the left side.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DB43N-HiszI/XFRl0z4KRXI/AAAAAAAAQOY/Wr0S8GJylUcGj3CHcQ_h250lXHJJkT0vQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_helloAndThanks3b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DB43N-HiszI/XFRl0z4KRXI/AAAAAAAAQOY/Wr0S8GJylUcGj3CHcQ_h250lXHJJkT0vQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_helloAndThanks3b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="693" width="600px"/></a>
<p>Again in black, I die cut the word 'beautiful' from the Beautiful Butterflies Die. I positioned the letters inside the oval window and adhered them to the card base beneath with some liquid adhesive.</p>

<p>To add that pop of color I used floral clusters from Hello & Thanks colored with Copic markers. I added a hint of shimmer to the flowers with a clear Wink Of Stella pen before adhering them around the oval opening with dimensional adhesive.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8Mg7uVsI7Nc/XFRnITFe6vI/AAAAAAAAQOs/2vbEUSZ51nItK_8TR05d8fzBYYGv_1xEQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_helloAndThanks3d.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8Mg7uVsI7Nc/XFRnITFe6vI/AAAAAAAAQOs/2vbEUSZ51nItK_8TR05d8fzBYYGv_1xEQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_helloAndThanks3d.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="756" width="600px"/></a>
<p>Finally, I added the secondary sentiment to the inside using the Hand Lettered Hello stamp set. This is when you can really customize the card to your recipient and the occasion. I love being able to create a card in advance and then decide later how I'll use it.</p>

Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024898436221353441.post-30676044376999626202019-01-30T09:00:00.000-05:002019-01-31T08:11:10.797-05:00Creating Flower Wreaths w/Joni Two Ways<p>Floral stamps are so versatile, especially if they include individual blooms or smaller clusters. You can build bouquets, use them separately, create all over patterns, or create wreaths.</p>
<p>For today's projects, you can easily use any flower stamps and dies you already have on hand. For my first project, I've used the Modern Petunias stamps and dies. And for the sentiment I used the Birthday Wishes stamp set.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bvAxnBCaNsg/XFBx8C24eSI/AAAAAAAAQMg/A64Ok_NEdbIclVFAuZ6O37AWkWHjk9LkACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPetunias1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bvAxnBCaNsg/XFBx8C24eSI/AAAAAAAAQMg/A64Ok_NEdbIclVFAuZ6O37AWkWHjk9LkACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPetunias1b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="889" width="600px"/></a>
<p>To begin, I used Wplus9 Nautical Navy cardstock, distressed it with Distress Oxide Ink in Peacock Feathers around the card and left the middle card dark. Because the Distress Oxide Inks have both dye and pigment ink properties, I was able to "brighten" up the edges of the darker cardstock with the lighter color. I then splattered it with water and Gansi Tambi Starry Colors.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2H0UesABgoE/XFBy4IMDJCI/AAAAAAAAQMs/-kF5Dza0i2YQEH7Y2PUR6H2Tsxf8NLSsQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPetunias1c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2H0UesABgoE/XFBy4IMDJCI/AAAAAAAAQMs/-kF5Dza0i2YQEH7Y2PUR6H2Tsxf8NLSsQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPetunias1c.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I colored the flower images with Copic markers, then die-cut them using their matching dies.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Og0ZsMNz2PA/XFBzYFDIVMI/AAAAAAAAQM0/K8YH5Hj-h6oSRresZMawWKb_c3H-mxzfQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPetunias1d.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Og0ZsMNz2PA/XFBzYFDIVMI/AAAAAAAAQM0/K8YH5Hj-h6oSRresZMawWKb_c3H-mxzfQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPetunias1d.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="619" width="600px"/></a>
<p>Next, I added some Pretty Pink Posh Jewels in Pearl White Jewels. To finish off the card, I heat embossed the sentiment "hope your birthday is extra" in white on black cardstock, fussy cut it out, and adhered it using foam tape.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qxATriIF8gU/XFB0OGUS5rI/AAAAAAAAQNA/Yd_9DQWd6-AL4Byoq8FQEeNDpEsyIDrUwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPetunias1e.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qxATriIF8gU/XFB0OGUS5rI/AAAAAAAAQNA/Yd_9DQWd6-AL4Byoq8FQEeNDpEsyIDrUwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPetunias1e.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>For my next project, I used the Hello & Thanks stamps and dies. This set doesn't have individual flowers, but it does have several smaller clusters of flowers that can also be combined to create a wreath.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AI1qS1YEHm0/XFB1GTQH74I/AAAAAAAAQNQ/Qbri7Ned9y0fKoEGTJXQpI6KsN4i2nQKgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPetunias2a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AI1qS1YEHm0/XFB1GTQH74I/AAAAAAAAQNQ/Qbri7Ned9y0fKoEGTJXQpI6KsN4i2nQKgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPetunias2a.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="910" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I first distressed the white card panel with Distress Oxide Inks in Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade, then splattered it with water.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CijIXRwW1BU/XFB1umnCwHI/AAAAAAAAQNc/_RidQfmCOWM9BtPAI4wq4HC5KxaxPd8qgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPetunias2b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CijIXRwW1BU/XFB1umnCwHI/AAAAAAAAQNc/_RidQfmCOWM9BtPAI4wq4HC5KxaxPd8qgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPetunias2b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="725" width="600px"/></a>
<p>Next, I stamped the images on white cardstock in black ink. Again, I used Copic markers to color them and then die-cut each image using their matching dies.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-36GrZyPBsAU/XFB2YjN90eI/AAAAAAAAQNo/c-hjJ2HzHSUxjUe-kJX_7OlEwdNJUdX4wCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_helloAndThanks2b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-36GrZyPBsAU/XFB2YjN90eI/AAAAAAAAQNo/c-hjJ2HzHSUxjUe-kJX_7OlEwdNJUdX4wCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_helloAndThanks2b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="678" width="600px"/></a>
<p>For the sentiment, I used the larger "thanks" included in the same stamp set, and heat embossed it in Aqua Tinsel. For the smaller sub-sentiment, I used white heat embossing on a black strip of cardstock.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VKEekJJul24/XFB4UM_MFuI/AAAAAAAAQN0/oKbbNUVdxvYq7pH9L94r-A9nVIYWoJmswCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_helloAndThanks2c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VKEekJJul24/XFB4UM_MFuI/AAAAAAAAQN0/oKbbNUVdxvYq7pH9L94r-A9nVIYWoJmswCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_helloAndThanks2c.jpg" data-original-width="600" data-original-height="441" width="600px"/></a>
<p>To really kick it up a notch, I added some Diamond Stickles selectively on some of the flowers and leaves.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JUCxiDBIGTA/XFB5GE05XrI/AAAAAAAAQN8/uS5h1101Ko4pTvAyShLrwtK8S-YePWNoACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_helloAndThanks2d.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JUCxiDBIGTA/XFB5GE05XrI/AAAAAAAAQN8/uS5h1101Ko4pTvAyShLrwtK8S-YePWNoACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_helloAndThanks2d.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>

<p>Finally, I added some Pretty Pink Posh Ivory Jewels for added interest to finish off the card.</p>
<p>I hope you guys enjoyed, and as always, thanks for stopping by!</p>

KNIT PATTERNS & NO ONE ELSE<p>Hello Guys! It's Kara and today I have a card to share with you using the new Knit Patterns stamp set accented by floral images from No One Else. The colors are perfect for Valentine's Day, but this card could be given for many occasions.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BXHYFJJa4ew/XE8L8SEEWuI/AAAAAAAAQL0/SA92KzmNhiY7otYnZ-lhxEuNH1oy1DspgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_noOneElse1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BXHYFJJa4ew/XE8L8SEEWuI/AAAAAAAAQL0/SA92KzmNhiY7otYnZ-lhxEuNH1oy1DspgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_noOneElse1a.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="699" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I started by selecting the 5 row heart image from Knit Patterns. I stamped it horizontally across my card panel twice starting with Shell Pink, then switched to Sweet Gelato and finally Cranberry Crush.</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NRD0amRC748/XE8MUZupu-I/AAAAAAAAQL8/KmcmcC8Qj7AppkoMFTCotT8fW7K_kKm2wCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_noOneElse1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NRD0amRC748/XE8MUZupu-I/AAAAAAAAQL8/KmcmcC8Qj7AppkoMFTCotT8fW7K_kKm2wCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_noOneElse1b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="709" width="600px"/></a>
<p>For the white panel on top I die cut it with a stitched rectangle die. I positioned the die again, tilting the panel slightly back and forth to get these diagonal cuts.</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-akb8ZVEMgvo/XE8Mv4FDD2I/AAAAAAAAQME/WhB7USoOJBwNuaTmTegJ_Jh-cyabXttAQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_noOneElse1c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-akb8ZVEMgvo/XE8Mv4FDD2I/AAAAAAAAQME/WhB7USoOJBwNuaTmTegJ_Jh-cyabXttAQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_noOneElse1c.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="684" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I accented each triangular piece with floral images from No One Else stamped in coordinating colors. I added the sentiment to the center triangle. I positioned the white triangles on top of the Knit Patterns background with dimensional adhesive and then adhered everything to a white card base.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jzTLCqh0d3A/XE8NSGyFUiI/AAAAAAAAQMM/vSTewC78ftQON8pL1AR5XRKuwqJIVrZ1wCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_noOneElse1d.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jzTLCqh0d3A/XE8NSGyFUiI/AAAAAAAAQMM/vSTewC78ftQON8pL1AR5XRKuwqJIVrZ1wCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_noOneElse1d.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="596" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I had to fussy cut the double leaf image on the top and center cluster of flowers because I dropped the die and couldn't find it. Thankfully, I did one last search while photographing my card and I found it! I'm sure you can relate!</p>
<p>Thanks so much for stopping by today.</p>

This is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLPcrWHaUGiQH9oTnP7G-6g/featured" target="_blank">Antonia Florence</a>, and I was “over the moon” when WPlus 9 invited me to create this guest design post for their blog. I thought what better way to show my appreciation than to make these two moonscape background cards featuring WPlus9’s “Friends for All Seasons” Winter and Spring stamp sets? </p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HyoNMibzjt4/XEh6CNKfY0I/AAAAAAAAQLk/tRaaLQtWtPAt6O_3El3H5HanEi0iR11-ACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_antoniaFlorence_friendsForAllSeasons1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HyoNMibzjt4/XEh6CNKfY0I/AAAAAAAAQLk/tRaaLQtWtPAt6O_3El3H5HanEi0iR11-ACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_antoniaFlorence_friendsForAllSeasons1b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="578" width="600px"/></a>
<p>Let’s get started and I’ll show you how to make a moonscape background two different ways – first, with Distress Oxide Inks and second, with Copic Sketch Markers.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="326" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UerkadIvn0Q?rel=0" width="580"></iframe><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Watch above or watch in <a href="https://youtu.be/UerkadIvn0Q?hd=1">HD at YouTube</a></div>
</div>
<p>Here is a quick overview of how I completed each card.</p>
<p><B>Distress Oxide Ink Version</b></p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yBOOHJ8hYHE/XEh4RDNkf6I/AAAAAAAAQLM/xxS3ecpaRd8Orul2lqvfBPkoknTK9hMLACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_antoniaFlorence_friendsForAllSeasons2A.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yBOOHJ8hYHE/XEh4RDNkf6I/AAAAAAAAQLM/xxS3ecpaRd8Orul2lqvfBPkoknTK9hMLACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_antoniaFlorence_friendsForAllSeasons2A.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I started by stamping and masking all of my images on Neenah solar white classic crest cardstock in 110lb weight cut down to A2 size. I used a 1.5 inch circle punch to make the moon. To make the evening sky, I blended distress oxide ink in Weathered Wood around the face of the moon, and then built out the evening sky using Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans, and Chipped Sapphire distress oxide inks. To create a strong light source emanating from the moon, I tried to keep the area under the moon bright by using my lightest inks and kept the edges of the scene very dark by using my darkest shades. I added detail to the face of the moon with C0, B60, and BG000 copic markers and then softened the colors using a colorless blender (or 0 marker). I shaded the ground with C1, C3, and C5 copic markers, again trying to use my lightest colors in the center of the scene where the moon rays shine the brightest. </p>
<p>After removing the masks, I colored the white areas of the panda using my 0, C00, C0, C1, C3, and C5 copic markers. I colored the balloons with YR12, R24, R27, R29, R39 and R89 copic markers, trying to keep the lightest shades where the moon rays appear the brightest.</p>
<p>To complete the scene, I added some highlights with a white gel pen and clear sakura stardust pen and stamped the sentiment using black Versafine ink.</p>
<p><B>Copic Marker Version</b></p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Zv7yRXi3JcE/XEh5XDGm7rI/AAAAAAAAQLY/DP3EHHJItuUSlC8GzJBusRfehZDtItQKACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_antoniaFlorence_friendsForAllSeasons3A.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Zv7yRXi3JcE/XEh5XDGm7rI/AAAAAAAAQLY/DP3EHHJItuUSlC8GzJBusRfehZDtItQKACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_antoniaFlorence_friendsForAllSeasons3A.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I stamped and masked all images on 110lb Neenah solar white classic crest cardstock. It is very important to use heavy cardstock to absorb the layers of ink required to create a smoothly blended evening sky using this coloring technique. I started shading the evening sky by coloring the area around the moon with a B000 copic marker, and built out the color darker and darker with B21, B24, B26, and B28, using a circular pattern while coloring until I reached the edges of the scene. To color the ground, I used YG11 (a special trick to make the ground “glow” beneath the moon), and then YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97, and YG99. To give the ground texture, I added blades of grass using my dark YG markers. I colored the panda the same way as I did in the first version and colored the balloons in rainbow colors. To add some “magic” to the scene, I used my white gel pen to create little flecks around the balloons. To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment with white embossing powder on black cardstock.</p>

<p>I hope you enjoyed this project and I would love it if you gave these two “moonscape background” cards a try. These cards make great encouragement or “thinking of you” cards, but the scenes would also make great Valentine’s cards for your friends and loved ones. My sincerest thanks to WPlus9 for having me on the blog today! </p>
<p>Thanks for joining me, and have a great day, everyone! ~ Antonia</p>

Modern Anemones<p>Hello Everyone, Joni here sharing another take for the Valentines Day card ideas. For this project I used the oldie but goodie <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/modern-anemones/" target="_blank">Modern Anemones</a> stamp and <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/modern-anemones-die/" target="_blank">dies</a>, then combined it using the sentiment from the <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/biggest-fan/" target="_blank">Biggest Fan</a> stamp set.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xGkTjxmjVBE/XD4SD6dnCfI/AAAAAAAAQJ4/6P15uZ3v0Z8CW4YBZSfgITSGpfWhbqsNACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernAnemones6a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xGkTjxmjVBE/XD4SD6dnCfI/AAAAAAAAQJ4/6P15uZ3v0Z8CW4YBZSfgITSGpfWhbqsNACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernAnemones6a.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>To begin, I distressed the white cardstock panel using Distress Oxide Inks in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Faded Jeans. I then splattered the panel with water and gold watercolor paint to create a little texture. Next, I die-cut the center using the decorative die from the <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/oh-my-gostrich-die/" target="_blank">Oh My Gostrich! Die</a>. I stamped the card base that shows through the die cut window with the large "love you" sentiment from <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/biggest-fan/" target="_blank">Biggest Fan</a>.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qj1nNm5vkEg/XD4TFYqNHuI/AAAAAAAAQKE/O9u-eLLNfZEeRkNHzrtSJQ8GhMzPc2ssACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernAnemones6B.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qj1nNm5vkEg/XD4TFYqNHuI/AAAAAAAAQKE/O9u-eLLNfZEeRkNHzrtSJQ8GhMzPc2ssACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernAnemones6B.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="624" width="600px"/></a>
<p>For the florals, I stamped the anemones and leaves from <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/modern-anemones/" target="_blank">Modern Anemones</a> on white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/modern-anemones-die/">Modern Anemones Die</a> to die cut all of the images.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-52Cf4J3uVuk/XD4T_fzLFiI/AAAAAAAAQKQ/ciqKZXbqhfAljFAaJy48ewhTgja_To-HACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernAnemones6c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-52Cf4J3uVuk/XD4T_fzLFiI/AAAAAAAAQKQ/ciqKZXbqhfAljFAaJy48ewhTgja_To-HACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernAnemones6c.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I adhered the florals at the top and bottom of the card, framing the sentiment, with foam tape for a little more dimension. I also used a few Pretty Pink Posh Ivory Jewels for added interest.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u2WYphMMseM/XD4Us-pgNrI/AAAAAAAAQKY/c9AJXMoBv2sM-9nsPklE68P_ONrRtnJagCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernAnemones6d.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u2WYphMMseM/XD4Us-pgNrI/AAAAAAAAQKY/c9AJXMoBv2sM-9nsPklE68P_ONrRtnJagCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernAnemones6d.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="697" width="600px"/></a>
<p>For my next, card I used the same products, but added the <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/milk-cookies/" target="_blank">Milk and Cookies</a> stamps and <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/milk-cookies-die/" target="_blank">dies</a> to the mix. These sets are not something that one might think to used together at first glance.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3ktFKiMSVD0/XD4VsHGUtkI/AAAAAAAAQKk/0IxuzY_SUPcjqkzLViF2BlGI3KhJWYK3wCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernAnemones7a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3ktFKiMSVD0/XD4VsHGUtkI/AAAAAAAAQKk/0IxuzY_SUPcjqkzLViF2BlGI3KhJWYK3wCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernAnemones7a.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>But, I think they look pretty awesome together! How about you?</p>
<p>I started by distressing white cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks in Abandoned Coral and Worn Lipstick. Again, I splattered the panel with water and watercolor gold paint.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-napvd_UTJBw/XD4WfFMxLEI/AAAAAAAAQKs/_f3Mo9Oj1y0SJzLiDknmjcdxT4xDU8gCwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernAnemones7b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-napvd_UTJBw/XD4WfFMxLEI/AAAAAAAAQKs/_f3Mo9Oj1y0SJzLiDknmjcdxT4xDU8gCwCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernAnemones7b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="647" width="600px"/></a>
<p>For this card I stamped the large "love you" again from the <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/biggest-fan/" target="_blank">Biggest Fan</a> then stamped the "we're just better together" sentiment from <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/milk-cookies/" target="_blank">Milk and Cookies</a> over the middle of it. I adhered the florals from <a href="http://modern%20anemones/" target="_blank">Modern Anemones</a> behind the milk and cookie images. And like the last card, I again used the Pretty Pink Posh Ivory Jewels to finish the card.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-URMTL7a_IBU/XD4Xra76S-I/AAAAAAAAQK4/5ObEjFopgzYU3WJFzu0s62WUtHgDLsekgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernAnemones7c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-URMTL7a_IBU/XD4Xra76S-I/AAAAAAAAQK4/5ObEjFopgzYU3WJFzu0s62WUtHgDLsekgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernAnemones7c.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="786" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I hope you guys enjoyed my take on mixing and matching your sets and gives you some ideas to incorporate into your own work. Make sure to shop your stash and experiment pairing different things together. It can really breathe new life into those older products. And, you may even find something that would look great with a new product that you've had your eye on!</p>
<p>Thanks for joining me today and I hope you have a wonderful week!</p>

HOLIDAY PRESENTS DIE<p>Hi Guys! It's that time of year again. The holidays have wrapped up and I always like to take an opportunity to send an extra special "thank you" to a few people. Particularly those family and friends who live far away and took the time to send me a gift in the mail.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gb8u8DvGNT4/XDoXM2SnMXI/AAAAAAAAQI0/XdX8GHRr9UkKclayP38ZoeEe_WOpxbedgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_HolidayPresents1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gb8u8DvGNT4/XDoXM2SnMXI/AAAAAAAAQI0/XdX8GHRr9UkKclayP38ZoeEe_WOpxbedgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_HolidayPresents1a.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="661" width="600px"/></a>
<p>These took a little more time to mass produce, but the were still super simple to put together. I just put on a podcast and started cranking my die cut machine. I die cut the Holiday Presents Die from white cardstock six times, from black cardstock six times, and from red, from blue and from green. To save colored cardstock I used small pieces placed only under the present I needed in that color.</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yk_OlqY9684/XDoYEdDCG0I/AAAAAAAAQJE/tipZ-tXf744jBSeCdBy8LLxNYVJ8FpAcQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_HolidayPresents1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yk_OlqY9684/XDoYEdDCG0I/AAAAAAAAQJE/tipZ-tXf744jBSeCdBy8LLxNYVJ8FpAcQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_HolidayPresents1b.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I adhered the white gift 'frames' to the white circles cut with the large circle die from the Love Mom Layers Die. That is such a staple die set. Once the 'frame' is in place all of the colored cardstock can be quickly inset in the perfect position.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sZiEb603C0s/XDoYl2eaGtI/AAAAAAAAQJM/zzfxIosLN9Qn-B6AeSp_szEoOzF0koBcgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_HolidayPresents1c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sZiEb603C0s/XDoYl2eaGtI/AAAAAAAAQJM/zzfxIosLN9Qn-B6AeSp_szEoOzF0koBcgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_HolidayPresents1c.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="709" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I adhered the black 'frame' on top, but slightly off set so that some white peeks through. I gave everything a coat of shimmer with a clear Wink Of Stella pen.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d-8Yj4JKQZQ/XDoZL5e-p7I/AAAAAAAAQJY/rYIS22whwUsOWYX5-JAi_JgrxgY_dH10ACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_HolidayPresents1d.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d-8Yj4JKQZQ/XDoZL5e-p7I/AAAAAAAAQJY/rYIS22whwUsOWYX5-JAi_JgrxgY_dH10ACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_HolidayPresents1d.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>The rest of the card comes together really quickly. A little bit of stamping on the card panel before adhering my circles. I chose the Hand Lettered Thanks stamp set to create a custom sentiment on the front as well as add a secondary sentiment to the inside of the card.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mHlN64gzRUM/XDoZwb9Zl6I/AAAAAAAAQJg/7-BsQRZMfpIFmUWDtBeCXw8yH2IUxox-ACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_HolidayPresents1e.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mHlN64gzRUM/XDoZwb9Zl6I/AAAAAAAAQJg/7-BsQRZMfpIFmUWDtBeCXw8yH2IUxox-ACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_karaVrabel_HolidayPresents1e.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="667" width="600px"/></a>
<p>On the back of the cards I added the small presents stamp from All The Cheer to my personalized stamp. The image perfectly coordinates with the die and brings the whole design throughout the card. This is a great way to further customize those personal stamps for occasions and holidays. I'm sure you have several small images in your stash that would work.</p>

<p>Now it's time to get these in the mail! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and your new year is off to a great start!</p>

MODERN PEONIES<p>Hello Everyone, Joni here sharing a mix products for Valentines Day cards. The products I used are <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/modern-peonies/" target="_blank">Modern Peonies </a>, <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/modern-peonies-die/" target="_blank">Modern Peonies Die</a>, <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/knit-patterns/" target="_blank">Knit Patterns</a>, and the <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/flower-doodles-die/" target="_blank">Flower Doodle Dies</a>.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gpmq8SiY2dQ/XDNoYJ_wwSI/AAAAAAAAQIc/YVe1TxYGY4sprZH_fYKPXygFs2UrhsQDACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPeonies6f.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gpmq8SiY2dQ/XDNoYJ_wwSI/AAAAAAAAQIc/YVe1TxYGY4sprZH_fYKPXygFs2UrhsQDACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPeonies6f.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px" /></a>
<p>While I had the supplies out and since I was already in the groove, I went ahead and did another version as well. I don't know about you, but often when making a card, I struggle with "this or that?", "here or there?"...so why not create another version while I'm at it.</p>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0-JGRe43qCU/XDNojLj-2UI/AAAAAAAAQIg/BdE-YtN3VZsstky_mN7-TNzcMyf4uojTQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPeonies6g.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0-JGRe43qCU/XDNojLj-2UI/AAAAAAAAQIg/BdE-YtN3VZsstky_mN7-TNzcMyf4uojTQCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPeonies6g.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>To begin I first stamped one of the images from Knit Patterns on to white cardstock. I then added a little ink blending around the edges of the card panel using Distress Oxide Inks in Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral.</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BzNFjGtrFJw/XDNmbPl0BeI/AAAAAAAAQIE/dCZ31U-7mL8D0BKozpkaIRm6LYZuZT-ugCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPeonies6d.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BzNFjGtrFJw/XDNmbPl0BeI/AAAAAAAAQIE/dCZ31U-7mL8D0BKozpkaIRm6LYZuZT-ugCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPeonies6d.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>I stamped the flower and leaves from Modern Peonies in <a href="https://www.wplus9.com/coconut-husk-dye-ink/" target="_blank">Coconut Husk Dye Ink</a>, colored them with Copic markers and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. For the sentiment I used the oldie but goodie Flower Doodle Die.</p>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-66lk5HvEZsY/XDNmCFDysuI/AAAAAAAAQH8/32EgRSn8vscX0GnIiXjOs4HVs8Rnet7-wCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPeonies6c.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-66lk5HvEZsY/XDNmCFDysuI/AAAAAAAAQH8/32EgRSn8vscX0GnIiXjOs4HVs8Rnet7-wCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_joniAndaya_modernPeonies6c.jpg" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="800" width="600px"/></a>
<p>To give the sentiments a little more weight, I used the ol' stacking trick. I die-cut the sentiments "smile" and "love" from gold cardstock. I cut them a couple of more times from white cardstock and adhered them one on top of the other. You can used as many layers as you'd liked, depending on how thick you want them to be. I then adhered the gold die cut on top of each.</p>

SYMPATHY LILIES<p>Hello Crafters! I don't know about you but I need a break from all the cold, snow cards. I typically lose my mojo in the winter months and I've found one of the ways to combat that is to break out of my routine.</p>
<p>In order to get out of my funk I went with a brightly colored floral card today. AND I'm really happy about it :)</p>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UytJH0zhZLM/XC-InnOK4XI/AAAAAAAAQG8/5wDGoN_MR9UwDys56r7u6YY-iTyDdgESgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_kellyLatevola_sympathyLillies.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UytJH0zhZLM/XC-InnOK4XI/AAAAAAAAQG8/5wDGoN_MR9UwDys56r7u6YY-iTyDdgESgCLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_kellyLatevola_sympathyLillies.jpg" width="600px" /></a>
<p>I used several sets out side of their original themes today and I would encourage you to do the same. Lilies aren't just for sympathy cards and a Christmas banner can be used anytime of the year.</p>
<p>I pulled out several sets and just started playing around. The card didn't end up the way I originally intended but I think it looks better than my first plan, so I'm winning, right?</p>

<p>While I'm not typically one who usually adds colored pencil to my projects, in this case I think it really does bring the colors together like I explained in the video above. It also gives a great texture to the leaves and flowers which I really like.</p>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3af1cMoq74Y/XC-JZ7QaHEI/AAAAAAAAQHE/2Chhla2T7UwguAXkVYNp2Z674QkHWviuACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_kellyLatevola_sympathyLillies1b.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3af1cMoq74Y/XC-JZ7QaHEI/AAAAAAAAQHE/2Chhla2T7UwguAXkVYNp2Z674QkHWviuACLcBGAs/s1600/wplus9_kellyLatevola_sympathyLillies1b.jpg" width="600px" /></a>
<p>Even though I didn't originally think about trimming the flowers out of the bouquet, I'm glad I tried it. I never would have stamped the background leaves in green if I hadn't disliked the original background so much. Talk about happy accidents!</p>
