Winnie & Walter - Day 1 Release Preview

Hello Everyone, Welcome to the Day 1 Winnie & Walter Release Previews.
Winnie & Walter is showcasing the new The Big, the Bold and Comfort, The Big, the Bold and Friends, The Big, the Bold and Comfort cutaways, and The Big, the Bold and Friends cutaways.

For today I am showcasing the The Big, the Bold and Friends, The Big, the Bold and Friends cutaways, In a Word: Hello cutaways, Essentials: Audrey cutaways, In Bloom: Addie's Garden, and In Bloom Lola's Bouquet.

.........................................................................





To begin my card I first mask the top panel using post-it and then distress the panel using Ranger Distress Ink pads. After distressing I then stamped the sentiments from The Big, the Bold and Friends stamp set for having that font background I am going for.



Next, I die-cut the panel with the new In a Word: Hello cutaway to create a shaker. This large font die are so fun to use, really awesome to use for any type shaker projects you might have. Once the shaker was put together, I add the new pretty die-cut word "friend" from the The Big, the Bold and Friends cutaways using black cardstock for a pop of color. The sequins I used inside the shaker are from Pretty Pink Posh in Lime Sorbet, Aquamarine, and Lemon Drop in 4mm & 6mm. Outside the shaker also from PPP in Sparkling Clear in 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm.



For added touch I white embossed the leaves image from the new upcoming In Bloom: Addie's Garden and added a natural twine. I also added a butterfly die-cut from the new Essentials: Audrey cutaways to finish off the card.


just another look of the hello shaker :)



For my next project I created a birthday card using the new In Bloom: Lola's Bouquet stamp set that I Illustrated for Winnie & Walter. This set will be preview tomorrow, don't forget to come back here tomorrow to enter my Giveaway for the new In Bloom: Lola's Bouquet.

To begin my card I first mask the white cardstock panel with post-it and distress it with yellow ink, then added some white dots using the Uni-ball white pen in broad tip.

Next I stamped the vase and roses images from the set, then fussy cut. The vase was colored with Copic maker. I then adhered all the pieces together on the card panel. I also added some grey Copic coloring on the bottom panel, this helps ground the vase on the card to make it not to look that its floating on the panel. The sentiments were from the Winter Woodland stamp set.

I also added some Lemon Drop and Sparkling Clear sequins from PPP to finish off the card.


I hope you guys enjoyed!

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!
