Modern/Vintage Mix

Hannah Craner is back to share her take on current trends. And she's chosen one of my personal favorites - combining modern patterns with vintage floral prints.

If you've visited the blog for any amount of time, then you know that I am a huge fan of mixing patterns and styles. Love the unexpected and eclectic vibe.

Here, she's combined the new Just Geometrics: Triangles stamp set with a large floral patterned paper. I think her choice of striped paper helps bridge the gap between the two genres perfectly. She keeps it light by adding a little whimsy with the broken sentiment and by placing the Birthday Basics die on a diagonal.

Wplus9 Supplies:
Stamps: Everyday Alpha, Just Geometrics: Triangles // Dies: Birthday Basics Die // Cardstock: Oatmeal, Sweet Gelato

Bold & Bright Birthday Wishes

Hannah Craner is joining us today, and man is she bringing the party! Check out this fun and festive card she's whipped up.

This is the epitome of a perfect child's birthday card if you ask me. It's got confetti, balloons, stars, and with those bold bright colors, you can't help but smile. And thanks to the Whole Lotta' Happy Companion Die and the Happy Trio Die, she was able to add plenty of dimension.

This card was inspired by stationery that I ran across and just couldn't get out of my head. I remembered the snowflakes in browns and golds and just knew that Folk Art Flurries would be perfect for it. I decided to pair it with the sentiments from Strictly Sentiments 3 and Heartfelt Holiday. I love how complex the design seems, yet how simple and clean the overall effect is.

Hannah has floored me. Floored me with this masterpiece. The wreath she has created using the pine cones and pine boughs from Merry & Bright is simply amazing! And the distressed wood background from Dockside Backgrounds is the perfect backdrop. And even though it is not meant to be, look at how nice the large bow from Silver Bells looks stamped on the die cut from Under the Mistletoe!

These girls are KILLING me with their talent! Talk about a stunner! I love the bold contrast in color Jean's created here. The start white mistletoe die cut from Under the Mistletoe against the background. The color choices for her fruit and flowers is amazing, and I love the shadow stamping of the laurel wreath from Heartfelt Holiday that she's added to encase it all. She has two projects to share with you, so be sure to click on her name to visit her blog!

Jinny's style is always so down-home and comfy. You know what I mean? I love the little felt stocking, the little house in the wreath and the mix of fonts she's created by mixing the sentiments from Silver Bells and Heartfelt Holiday. Oh and that blue stitching! It's those little eclectic mixes that really makes Jinny's style.

Kerrianne is sharing a classic Christmas centerpiece with Merry & Bright. Notice how she's drawn the eye in and down to the sentiment by placing the larger flowers on the outside of her arrangement creating a visual "v". You can't help but be drawn down to the sentiment where it's perfectly anchored with a line of bling.

Man! Sarah is the Queen of Tags! Here, she's used Heartfelt Holiday to create the super cute yet "grown up" tags. I love the bright colors mixed with her soft shabby style.

Oh, how I wish this was a wrapping paper! I'll take it in treat box form though! Savitri has mixed the foliage images from Woodland Wreaths and Silver Bells to create and all-over wintry patter. The little embellishment on the box handle is adorable!

And that officially concludes our October/November 2013 Release Week festivities! Thank you so much for joining us. And again, thank you for the encouragement both in comments and emails. You are all so amazing! And I can NOT wait to see your AMAZING creations!

Dockside with Hannah Craner

Happy Friday!

Not only is it Friday, but it's a three day weekend! And here to help us celebrate, it's Hannah Craner. And she's sending us off into the weekend Nautical style.

I don't know about you, but I am so enjoying Hannah's clean style. Her color choices and layouts are so classic yet modern and fresh. The negative circle she's cut from the center banner, allowing the background rope stamping to show through perfectly sets off the life preserver and draws your eye straight to it. Pairing the "thanks" sentiment with the life preserver was such a great idea. Kinda infers that "you helped/saved me".

Here's another example of some clever die cutting.

Whaaat!? How cool is that? I'm seriously going to be stealing borrowing this little technique. The real kicker? How careful she was to preserve the pattern on each die cut piece so that it never breaks and your eye kinda fills in the rest and makes it one unified piece - even with the negative spaces. So cool.

Hannah has more photos and all of the details on creating these projects on her blog. Be sure to head over and leave her some love!

Have a crafty day!

Fanciful Feathers with Hannah Craner

Are you ready for round two of inspiration for the day? It's time for the second part of our double hitter! (scroll down to see Jinny Newlin's wonderful projects if you missed them)

It's Hannah Craner's turn to get our creative juices flowing, and let me just warn you...she is back with a vengeance! She's serving up a duo of cards, using the same products, kind of a Fanciful Feathers two-ways - if you will.

First up...a little Fanciful Feathers love! This card is straight up my alley in EVERY way, clean and simple with a punch of color and a fun geometric print.

The second card is just as fabulous as the first, but with it's own personality. This is a great way to maximize your time by creating more than one card with the products you already have out.

Hannah has more photos and all of the details on creating these projects on her blog. While you're there, be sure to welcome her back to the Wplus9 Design Team. We are extremely thrilled to have her back and we hope that you are too!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!
