Wplus9 - Background die-cut

Hello Everyone, I was experimenting with Wplus9 dies, creating a background die-cut from it. In this project I used the "rug" die from Wplus9 Smart Kitty Coordinating dies to create my background panel for my card. Of course there are tons for dies we could use for this type of project :)

To begin my card I first die-cut the A2 panel with "rug" die from Smart Kitty Coordinating dies. Then I used the scallop stitched from Sunshine Layers die to add a design on the die-cut panel.

Next, I distressed the white cardstock card base with Wplus9 ink pad in Beanstalk dye ink, Little Piggy, and Miami Spice to create a colored background. Then I added some splatters using the New Silver Lining Spray Mist, I added a tad of water on the acrylic block to dilute some of the colors to make it a tad lighter, and use my paint brush tool to splatter on the front of the card.


The sentiment I used was also from the Smart Kitty stamp set, I white embossed it on a black cardstock, then adhered on the panel with foam tape for dimension.

Next, I watercolored the kitty, rose, stem/leaves, and books, and die-cut each one with its coordinating dies and adhered on the card with foam tape. Then,  I added some PPP Sparkling Clear 8mm sequins to finish off the card.

I hope you guys enjoyed!

Have a WONDERFUL Week

Hello Everyone, I just want to share these cards I made for a friend of mine who is a teacher. She 
needed some cards to give to her students to give them some encouragement before taking the last exam of the semester.

On this set I used the Smart Kitty stamp set, Encouraging Words stamp set, and Love Showers Layers die-cuts.

To begin I gathered the pieces for the card. I cut the Coal Mine cardstock same size as an A2 card. I stamped the white cardstock panel with the mountain images from the Encouraging Words and used the sentiments as well.

I also die-cut the frame on the kraft cardstock from the Love Showers Layers die and added some yellow ribbons.

Here's how the assembly looks like. I added the kitty from Smart Kitty and added some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh in Lemon Drop, Sparkling Clear, and Lime Sorbet.

I hope you guys enjoyed.

Thank you so much for stopping by :)

Have a Wonderful Week!!!

Wplus9 - Smart Kitty Birthday Wishes & Giveaway Winner!!!

Hello Everyone, I am back with another Smart Kitty inspiration.
In this project I combined the New April 2015 Released Smart Kitty with the new  Cloud Border die along with the past released Basic Banners, and Whole Lotta' Happy stamp sets.

To begin I die-cut a white panel using the new Love Mom Layers die set for added stitching look and distress the bottom using the Distress ink in Spun Sugar to tie in the pink from the balloon. Then I used another white cardstock panel where I created my scene.

For the clouds I die-cut the clouds on a white cardstock and distressed it using the Wplus9 PURE Color dye ink in Bo Peep. Then I die-cut another white cardstock for outline of clouds using the dies.

I adhered the white outline first on the top panel and puzzled out the pieces of the clouds inside the white outline to get the distressed look I am going for.

For the balloons, I stamped the balloons on a white cardstock and fussy cut.

Next, I distressed the bottom of the top panel by masking then stamped the kitty and Copic colored it. Next, I stamped the balloon strings from Whole Lotta' Happy on the paw of the kitty as if it is holding the strings and adhered the balloons with foam dimensional tape.

Finally I added some sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh to finish off the look.

I hope you guys enjoyed!

Wplus9 - Smart Kitty Treats

Hello Everyone, I just want to share the muslin treat bags I created to give out for friends using the new April 2015 Smart Kitty stamp set along with the past released Heartfelt Holiday, and Valentine Wishes stamp set.

Smart Kitty

To begin, I stamped the kitty image from Smart Kitty stamp set using the Versafine ink in Smoke Gray. I also colored the kitty using my Prismacolor pencils and Farber Castell color pencil to give the kitty some colors and avoid colors from bleeding on the muslin bags.

Before stamping and coloring on the on the muslin, I added a piece of cardstock inside like the one you see below. This helps keep the muslin from shifting or moving during the stamping and coloring.

For the image below I stamped the image with Versafine ink in Smoke Gray , colored it with color pencils in for the body of the kitty I used Prismacolor in Beige and Peach Beige. For the spots on the kitty I used Prismacolor Light Umber and for the cheeks/ears I used Farber Castell in Medium Flesh.

Next, I added the wreath image from the Valentine Wishes stamp set using Versafine ink ink Spanish Moss using second generation stamping to avoid smearing on the muslin bags, and for the sentiment "from our home to yours" I used the Heartfelt Holiday stamp set.

For the image below I stamped it with Versafine ink Smoke Gray . For this kitty I just colored the cheeks and ears to give it color using color pencil from Farber Castell in Medium Flesh.  

Next, I added the separate ferns with flowers images from Valentine Wishes stamp set and inked it with Versafine Spanish Moss using second generation stamping to avoid smearing on the muslin bags and for the sentiment "from our home to yours" I used the Heartfelt Holiday stamp set.

To complete the look I added some fuchsia ribbons from Michaels and the muslin bags were done.

I hope you guys enjoyed!
