Wplus9 April/May 2013 Release Day 2

Welcome back to Day 2 of our April/May Release! All previewed items will be available for purchase on April 5th at www.wplus9.com. If you are just joining us, be sure to start at Day 1 to catch up.

Today, we have two more new stamp sets and a new die to introduce.

Blanket Stitched Blooms

  • is a 6x8 clear photopolymer stamp set
  • 36 high quality photo-polymer stamps; 29 flower building images and 7 sentiments
  • will be available for purchase April 5th for $21
Blanket Stitched Blooms Companion Die

  • coordinates with the Blanket Stitched Blooms stamp set
  • contains 3 individual dies wired together that can be easily separated
  • will be available for purchase April 5th for $5

For my first project, I wanted to see if I could take these homespun images and give them a modern makeover. And I have to say, I think it came out alright. The flowers in this set all have a wonderful homespun feel with the blanket stitching detail. But paired with the bold stripes and colors, it becomes very "crisp" and just pops.

I decided use both the Blanket Stitched Blooms stamp set and die here along with some negative die cutting using our Label Layers 3 die. There are multiple sizes of flowers included in this set. To accommodate, I've also included two font types, one bold script, and another lightweight sans-serif.

A great feature of this set is that each of the flower's "rings" is a separate stamp, making it easy to add multiple colors if you'd like. For this sample, I kept the outer two rings the same color.

I repeated the same design for my tag, and also carried the stripes into an envelope liner using Country Charm. (I told y'all I use that stamp A LOT!)

Next, I wanted to share how cute these images look without the blanket stitching outlines as well. It gives the images a completely different look. For this set of note cards, I've paired the smaller flowers with some of the images from Paisley Patterns.

What do you think? It kind of reminds me of Rifle Paper style. For the set of note cards, I stamped flat cards at the top with "just a note" and added a floral spray underneath. And of course, you have to add matching envelopes.

For the packaging, I created a two piece envelope to hold the note cards. I stamped a complimentary pattern over the top half, and used Green Acres card stock for the bottom half. I thought this would make a nice graduation or moving gift, so I created a matching card to give along with the gift. And just because, I added some custom washi tape. Now the recipient has gorgeous stationery to write to you on.

Need a card really quick? Blanket Stitched Blooms is perfect for clean and simple cards as well.

The largest flowers in this set, along with the generously sized sentiments have no problem taking center stage.

Our next stamp set is one that several of you have requested.

Strictly Sentiments 1

  • is a 3x4" clear photopolymer stamp set
  • 4 high quality photo-polymer stamps; 4 sentiments
  • will be available for purchase April 5th for $6

Quite Like You is a very popular sentiment set, and many of you fell in love with the font combo and casual tone of the sentiments. I'm happy to introduce Strictly Sentiments 1. Another small set of sentiments with the same font combination and playful tone.

Stamps: Strictly Sentiments 1 | Cardstock: White

A little Tearific Tape, glitter, and a sentiment was all I needed for this one. I just laid strips of Tearific Tape across a card front and glittered one color at a time to achieve this cool glittery gradation.

Finally, here is a quick little birthday combo featuring more glitter and Strictly Sentiments 1.

While I had the glitter out, I decided to keep going. Both of these are super quick and easy as well. I used Sookwang Adhesive Sheets with our Pile It On Die to create the pennant banner along with another sentiment from Strictly Sentiments 1.

For the tag, I just added a little glitter to the top of a Timeless Tag 2 die cut and another sentiment from Strictly Sentiments 1.

  1. Wonderful products today. I think the sentiment set is most interesting, but only because I have a set very similar to the floral. If I didn't have that other set, the florals would be going home with me.
