GUEST ARTIST FEATURE: Melissa Phillips

Hello everyone! My name is Melissa Phillips and I have long adored Wplus9 stamps and products! I’m so happy to get to share a couple of projects with you today using some of my favorite WPlus9 products.

My card and tag use the beautiful Rose Builder stamp set and coordinating dies. These flowers can’t help but be anything but gorgeous. I love how they come to life with each layer added.

I was creating these projects the other day with my daughter by my side and asked her what her favorite color of flower was and she mentioned, blue…so I had to try my hand at a blue flower for her and love how it turned out.

Before I adhered my stamped and die cut flowers, I used the “stamping-off” technique to create a subtle background of leaves on my circular tag, and on the matching tag I created.

Vellum is one of my go-to mediums when it comes to adding softness and depth. On my tag as well as on my card, I die cut a few Rose Builder leaves from vellum and then stamped the veins only using watermark ink, followed by heat embossing each using white powder.

I chose to use the Basic Banners stamp set and coordinating die for my sentiments, and love the simple but elegant feel they add.

Thank you so much for joining me today and thank you so much for inviting me, Wplus9…it’s been a treat!

Melissa

Clean and Simple Florals with Kelly

Hello Crafters!

Today I'm sticking to the clean and simple. It's been a minute since I really stopped and visited my old friend - the clean and simple card. It's nice to know that even after years of hanging out, I still love her just as much as when we first met.

I have to be honest, this wasn't the original direction of my card, but man am I glad it took this turn. I think I love this more than my original idea. Nope, I KNOW I do.

You can see my journey in the video below.

As you can see from the video, I really shouldn't approach floral arrangements without a clear and concise plan in play.

I can't be mad at it though because those letters make me ridiculously happy. Look how soft and pretty.

Thanks so much for stopping in!

VIDEO: Fuse Tool Shaker Tags

Hello everyone! Today's video is a fun one featuring a lot of shimmeeeer! A. Lot.

These tags really were a joy to create. And quite easy thanks to the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool. Like I mentioned in the video, this is a great one to get the kids involved in as well. They will have a blast creating the watercolored inserts as well as filling the tags with all of the shaker goodness.

I can't wait to try them in different colors and different occasions. I love them all so much and can not decide which is my favorite. How about you? Do you have a favorite?

Thanks so much for stopping by!
