GUEST ARTIST FEATURE: Amy Rysavy

Hello everyone! Amy Rysavy here with Prairie Paper & Ink, and I am so excited and honored to be guest designing again for WPlus9!

I needed to make a birthday card recently, and something I love to do is create and personalize birthday cards especially for my kids and kids of friends. I will spend extra time and effort on the one card just because I can and because I enjoy it so much!

I used the Friends for All Seasons: Fall stamp and coordinating die set, along with the That Is All stamp set.

When asked the recipient told me their favorite colors were "rainbow and gold" LOL! So that's what I decided to do.

I stamped the images onto some hot press watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink then watercolored them all in with my Mijello Mission Gold watercolors. I was totally inspired by a recent card that Kristina Werner did when I colored in the bear. I started with a light grey then dropped in various "rainbow" colors.

I created my background with a light watercolor that when dry I stamped and embossed the leaves from the Friends for All Seasons: Fall set. I added some gold watercolor and some splatter (of course!) before adhering my die cut bear and balloons with foam tape.

On the inside of the card is where I did the personalization. The Whimsy Alpha and coordinating die set are PERFECT for this sort of thing! I stamped them in rainbow order (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple – it was just luck that the letters in the name were the perfect amount) before die cutting them and adhering them to the inside of the card.

I completed the inside with more sentiments from the That Is All stamp set and that was it!

You can watch my video below for more info on how this card came together:

Thanks so much for joining me here today on the WPlus9 blog! I had a lot of fun creating this card (I always have so much fun creating with WPlus9 products!) and I hope y'all enjoyed the process!

September 2017 Release Week: Christmas Rose Bouquet w/Janette Kausen

Hiya, friends! Janette Kausen here and I am ecstatic to be guest designing for you during the ever impressive WPlus9 release week! So many amazing stamps and projects. I have just been drooling all week! Is your plastic sizzling like mine?!?!

Today, I am sharing a card and video tutorial featuring the Christmas Rose Bouquet stamps and dies. This super sparkly card was created with none other than good ol’ Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and the Nuvo Clear Glitter Gloss Marker.

To create depth and dimension I applied the Zig color first in Wine Red and then in the darker shaded areas, Deep Red. The orange-ish touch was added to the secondary flowers in Scarlet Red. The leaves were colored with Mid Green and Olive Green. Each color was applied in the area I wanted to appear most recessed, and then blended out with the Nuvo Glitter Gloss marker. The sparkle is phenomenal! You can see this pretty lady shine from across the room… reminiscent of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, lol!

Die cut the Christmas Rose Bouquet and pop with dimensional adhesive above black and white polka dot and striped paper for an eye-catching creation. Final touches on this A2 card were added with a sentiment from The Crew: Garden Club new release stamp set and topped off with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Ivory Seashell.

Thanks so much for visiting today. So much gratitude to Dawn, Jana and WPlus9 for allowing me to be a part of release week! I hope you all have a long and luscious weekend!

xo, Janette

September 2017 Release Week: The Crew with Kelly

Hello Crafters! Have you been enjoying this week? The design team has been kicking out some amazing cards. They blow me away every release!

On Monday Joni introduced you to the new series we're releasing called The Crew. These girls are so incredibly charming and the accessories allow for endless scene creation. I have died and gone to heaven!

I couldn't resist making a scene with these sweethearts. Whether you're into one layer cards like me or are in love with popping up die cuts into a beautiful scene. The Crew gives you both options. I had such a good time creating this flower garden scene!

However, if complex scenes aren't your thing I didn't forget about you ;) Being a proud booknerd I thought it would be adorable to make my little girl a daydreamer surrounded by books and coffee. A distress ink background creates an interesting card no masking required!

You can see both cards come to life in the video below.

I love how soft those Distress Oxides dry! It makes it so easy to create a background no matter if you're doing a full scene or just having a bit of fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
