Rose and Hellebore Builder Holiday Cards with Dawn

So it's officially November. Now, I have a really hard time getting into the "Christmas Spirit" before Thanksgiving. I'm one of those who likes to give each holiday it's own special time of reflection and celebration. You with me?

However, I know that there are a lot of you who just can't wait to start fa-la-la-ing. And I get it. It IS the most wonderful time of the year. And we need to start getting that inspiration in advance so that we aren't making and sending out holiday cards the week before Christmas. Raise your hand if your in the corner bowing your head with me.

Don't worry, I'm right there with you. We'll keep each other company.

Today I've got a couple of cards to share with you using some all year sets along with some holiday sets. The good news is that if you swap out the sentiments, these could be used for multiple occasions. Score!

If you follow us on YouTube, I shared how to quickly and easily stamp out a ton of the Rose Builder and Hellebore Builder layering images. If you haven't seen the video, be sure to click here and watch. It's a huge time saver.

During that stamp session I stamped out a ton of these florals and used the red roses to create this duo of holiday cards. I stamped several of the greenery images as well, die cut all of the stamped images using their respective companion dies and created a little bouquet.

To fill out my arrangement, I stamped a few of the pine boughs from the Holiday Boughs stamp set and added a seasonal sentiment also from the same set heat embossed in gold.

For the second card, I used a few sprigs from the Southern Summer Florals sets and backed the spray of florals with the Tree Ring Background stamp from Concord & 9th. I heat embossed sentiments from the Hand Lettered Holiday set in gold and popped them up on foam tape.

I really love the warm Thanksgiving/Fall vibes these have vs. a cold wintry feel. Which if I'm being honest, is actually more fitting for us warmer climates. Plus, I'm personally more of a warm rustic holiday decor girl.

How about you? Do you prefer the more rustic/warm holiday decor or the icy/wintry decor?

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Merry and Bright with Joni

Hello Everyone, Joni here sharing a post featuring the new gorgeous Rose Builder and Hellebore Builder stamp sets.

I made a card that can be used for the holidays, but you can use these sets with any sentiments you might already have which are great for any occasion!

To begin my card I stamped my flower on a white cardstock. Then, die-cut the images with the Rose Builder Die and the Hellebore Builder Die.

Next, I distressed a different cardstock for my top panel with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass. Then, stamped the sentiment "May Your Days be Berry and Bright" with Versamark Ink, and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. Then, I adhered all the die-cuts with foam tape for dimension. I added some Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Snowflakes and Sparkling Clear Sequins to finish the card.

I hope you enjoyed! Can't wait to see what you create with these stamp sets. Be sure to tag us #wplus9 on social media!

September 2017 Release Week: Hellebore Builder with Yana

Hello friends! This is Yana and I hope you are having a fabulous week!

Dawn has done it again - surprised us with absolutely gorgeous, must-have designs! My favorite set from this new release is the Hellebore Builder - very beautiful and not like anything else I have in my stash.

Since I always love to start my Christmas cardmaking in early Fall (or sooner) I used the new Hellebore Builder stamp set and dies to create an elegant white, gold and green Christmas project.

I started working on my card by die-cutting shapes out of white cardstock. I often prefer to cut the shape out first and do my stamping afterwards, especially with layering sets as I find it easier to align the layers this way.

Stamping almost white flowers is not an easy task and requires the use of very light gray inks. I used my WPlus9 ink in Fairy Dust for the base layer and stamped additional layers with the help of Simon Says Stamp inks in Fog and Stone. The formula in these is identical, so they work beautifully together.

I also used Wplus9 Old Gold and Warm Wool inks to stamp the flower centers and details on the petals although I later added gold heat embossing instead. The leaves and tiny red flowers were stamped using a rather traditional color combo - Last Leaf & Appletini for the leaves, and Gala Red & Cranberry Crush for the red flowers.

I used one of my older Wplus9 stamp sets, Christmas Greetings, to stamp a sentiment for this card and I also heat embossed it in gold to match the detail on my white flowers. I arranged my stamped images around the sentiment and adhered and foam mounted them in place.

Finally, I foam mounted my main panel (cut to 3 ¼ x 4 ½ “) onto an A2 side folding card base covered with white woodgrain cardstock. I also embellished my card using Nuvo Drops in Morning Dew.
