Have a wonderful day!
Long time, no post. Sorry the blog has been so quiet lately. I've been heads down finishing up our Christmas designs. But, I wanted to pop in and share a quick card I made earlier this summer.
I thought this would be a great project to practice using my sewing machine. I paired some October Afternoon papers with Kisses & Cuddles and Filigreed Frames. While I really love the idea, my stitching leaves something to be desired. I'm still trying to figure out the perfect tension settings for each stitch, until then, I'll just keep practicing. ;o)
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you are having a great week, and if not, I hope it gets better!
Hi guys! Hope everyone is having a wonderful week. The boys started school yesterday, so we have been busy shopping for school supplies and clothes. One of the great things about living in the south is that the weather doesn't really start to change until November, so they didn't need much in the clothing dept. just yet. Spreads out the cost a little.
I wanted to give a few quick store updates.
Our software upgrade introduced some bugs to our shipping settings, and some of our international customers were unable to place orders. The identified bugs have been fixed and you shouldn't encounter any issues. Thank you to those of you who contacted me and worked with me to get the kinks worked out. If you continue to have any problems, please don't hesitate to contact me at dawn@wplus9.com. I will do my best to resolve your problems in a timely manner. Thanks again!

We are committed to bringing you the highest quality products and after much deliberation, we have decided that the Label Layers 3 die does not meet our standards. We have decided to hold back the Label Layers 3 Die from this release. The die cut does not allow enough "breathing room" around the stamped image to allow for an easily centered impression. We are going to adjust and reorder. We will update here and on Facebook as soon as the new shipment arrives. We appreciate your understanding.
It's Release Day! Our entire August Release is now available at www.wplus9.com. But more importantly, it's Group Post day! The day I get to publicly recognize my extremely talented Design Team and thank them for all of their hard work. I personally think that they are an amazing and talented group of REAL women!
If I were diabetic, this card would be lethal! Love the way Jinny has glittered our little tight rope walker, and did you notice her stamped paper in the background? She's used the umbrella image to create her own coordinating patterned paper.
I'm always amazed at how Kerrianne isn't afraid to explore and take chances. Here she's chosen to stamp all of her images on the same patterned paper in the same ink. I for one love how this turned out. It's so edgy and definitely not your "paint by numbers" run-of-the-mill creation.
Savitri has created a little collage of elements that look so at home with each other. I love how each element seems to be peeking out from behind the next. Just perfect in my book.
I always look forward to Lea's soft romantic cards paired with such vibrant crisp colors. It's like the perfect salty/sweet combination. So unexpected with jaw dropping results. Her cluster of embellies frame her sentiment perfectly.
Check out Elise's selectively inked tight rope walker. I love the little shading that she's added to the tutu as well. And I'd be crazy not to point out her perfectly stamped background paper. I always leave Elise's blog inspired to try something new, and just feeling overall a little bit chipper. ;o)
Less is more. Less is more. Less is soooo much more! What a fantastic mass produce-able design! One or two each in a coordinating color scheme and you have the perfect gift set.
And that wraps up our August Release. We can't wait to see what you do with them!
It's time for the Full Monty. The Full Reveal. It's time to get a glimpse at the sets we are releasing this month in their entirety. All products will be available for purchase on August 5th at www.wplus9.com.
As always, thank you all so much for joining us, supporting us, and allowing me to create and share my creations with you. I am beyond grateful.
Today I have some more wonderful samples to show you featuring Very Vintage Greetings and Label Layers 3. This set is a gorgeous set illustrated by Ruth Bliss featuring a wonderful assortment of sentiments and complimentary floral images. I am so eager to share my samples today.
First up is a soft sympathy card. I chose to go with a simple color palette.
I mentioned yesterday that C'est La Vie complimented this set extremely well. Here I've stamped the floral frame from Very Vintage Greetings onto a Label Layers 3 die cut. I stamped the chair from C'est La Vie and then stamped the "With Sympathy" sentiment from Very Vintage Greetings directly over it.
The little flourishes flanking the label are also from C'est La Vie. Even though sympathy cards are for unpleasant occasions, I like how this turned out.
OK, now I'm over the unpleasant thought of "sympathy" cards. Let's move on to something a little more cheerful!
How is that for some homespun goodness?! I can't express enough how much I adore the flowers in this set. Here, I've paired the Petunia included in the set with Hope Seed Co.. I chose to color the bloom with Copics to really make it stand out. I think the crisp color provides a great contrast against the rest of the distressed elements.
I tucked the panel into a little pocket that I created from the Vintage Envelope Die. After I die cut it and assembled it, I trimmed off the top of the envelope and then used a small circle punch to cut out notch.
Finally I added a little tag stamped with another sentiment included in today's set and attached it with some jute twine.
The backdrop was created by haphazardly sewing some paper scraps together. I think it works well with the overall sentiment of the card. I think there is some mushy saying about friends and a patchwork quilt and the soul. Or I could quite possible be crazy and making it up. LOL
And that my friends concludes Day 4 for me. I will be back today at 6:00 PM EST with the full reveal. Our entire release will be available for purchase at www.wplus9.com tonight at midnight EST. But, the design team still has more for you too:
You still have time to win Very Vintage Greetings, and the Label Layers 3 Die! Just leave me a comment by 5:59 PM EST August 4th to enter. I will select one random winner from all comments. Winners will be posted here.
