Kindness Matters With Kara

Hello! It's Kara here to share a project showcasing a few products from the March release. Although this is my first release project on the WPlus9 blog, I have been sharing tons of new release projects on my blog and Instagram. I just couldn't wait to show you everything!

This was my kind of release! It included big bold sentiments, whimsical and elegant florals, innovative dies and images perfect for coloring. Something for everyone! Today my card features this beautiful background stamp from He Is Risen. It is stunning and incredibly versatile. I chose to stamp it in Queen Bee ink. Other than that, I didn't add any more color. Even though it is the background, it is definitely the focus of this design.

I added a few flowers from the same set stamped simply in black to accent the sentiment. The sentiment is from the new No One Else stamp set. I stamped it in black directly on top of my background. I wanted to position the flowers at the lower right, but I didn't want them to cover up the sentiment. I decided to use the No One Else die to cut out the letters for 'kindness'. I positioned the die cut letters over the stamped letter and was able to place the s on top of the die cut flower making it appear to be behind the stamping!

I added a black panel behind the stamped one because I just can't get enough of that contrast!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

GUEST ARTIST FEATURE: Nichol Spohr


Watch above or watch in HD at YouTube

Hello stampers! Nichol Spohr here and I’m super excited to be guesting with a couple of card ideas featuring dimensional die cut inlay greetings with the new No One Else stamps and dies.

I used both the “kindness” and “thanks” No One Else Dies to die cut the shapes from patterned paper and then die cut them again from a sandwich of pastel metallic foil cardstock adhered to fun foam with stick it adhesive. The patterned paper was adhered to white top fold card bases and then dimensional greetings were inlaid for a tone-on-tone dimensional effect.

An additional sentiment from the No One Else Stamp Set was stamped on smooth white cardstock with black ink, trimmed into a thin strip and adhered below the die cut greeting with foam adhesive.

Outline leaf images from the No One Else Stamp Set were stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. The rest of the flowers and leaves were stamped with an assortment of dye inks and all the images were die cut with the coordinating No One Else Dies and adhered around the greetings as shown.

Thanks so much for stopping in!

Nichol

Watercolor and Copics w/Kelly ft. Just For You

Hello Crafters! Have you been checking out all the amazing inspiration using our newest release?

I'm in love with all the florals! Come on Spring!! Since I'm over Winter. So over it. I wanted to create a colorful Spring card today and I thought the new Just For You stamp set would be perfect for it.

love these sweet girls. I just picture them as sisters for some reason. I thought that it would be really pretty to put them in a field of flowers but I wasn't feeling like masking.

Sometimes I just want to color. Know what I mean?

I decided to watercolor the background so there would be no masking required. I also die cut our new Floral Border Die twice from watercolor paper in order to make it look like the girls were "in" the field.

I used distress oxides to do my watercoloring and was really happy with how soft they dried. Once the piece was completely dry I used my copic markers to color the girls. I always love the contrast of a soft background with the bold detail coloring of copics.

You can watch the whole card come together in the video below.

Even though the sentiment didn't work out how I had originally planned, I was really happy with the way the card came together.

The added dimension of the die cuts at the bottom of the card gives the design a fun whimsical feel to me. Though you could definitely leave them off and have a super pretty one layer card. Which do you prefer a one layer or a multi dimensional card?

Thank you so much for visiting today!
