WPlus9 June Release Sneak Peek: Day 4

Hi bloggies! How was your Memorial Day weekend? We had a nice barbecue in the back with friends and family. There was so much food! OMGosh! I will have to work out twice as hard to get all those calories off! lol! 


Anyway, I'm back for the WPlus9 June Release Sneak Peek: Day 4. I hope you have all enjoyed the cards that I've been chugging out. :P I made a very, very layered card for today's sneak peak. I'm really obsessed with using the cake stamp and so here I am with it again! I noticed that the other ladies in the design team have been using the ice cream stamps. So I guess we're all evened out. Here's my card for Day 4. I hope you all like it!

I used different WPlus9 stamps for my card. Of course I used Pile It On for that cute cake. I also stamped the border stamp from Mehndi Medallions on the bottom to give it a bit of a design. I thought that was such a cute touch. I also stamped the large medallions from the same stamp set on the background paper from Prima. I'm not sure if you can see it, but I stamped some butterflies on the canvas. It's from Flora and Fauna, also from WPlus9. I like using different stamps from different stamp sets together. 

We're not done yet! I was a little busy bee and decided to make one more card. For this second card I used the ice cream stamp. I also used the die that coordinated with the stamp set. I'm not very good with cutesy stamps, so I hope I did this one justice. I was thinking of a card for a little girl who might be into fairies and ice cream. Haha! I hope you like this one too! :)

I'll see you again tomorrow for another sneak peek of Pile It On! Don't forget to check out the other fabulous designers of the WPlus9 Design Team! :)

The Craft's Meow June Release - Day 4

***Don't forget to check out my WPlus9 June Release Sneak Peek: Day 4 here.***


Hi friends! It's day 4 of The Craft's Meow June Release. Which of the stamp sets so far has caught your eye? Or have they all?! :) Well, we have one more set to show off today. It's called It's A Shore Thing, from the very talented Michelle Bertuzzi. This set is perfect for the summer season. Let's get on with it shall we?


I hope you like it because I am totally loving it! The colors I used are sooo summery. Can you see that cute wave image on the side? Isn't it adorable?! I also used this gorgeous light blue crochet lace. It's from the same etsy store that just closed recently. I'm sure you'll be able to find another source for it though because it's very popular these days. 

I used my new Nested Hearts Spellbinders die on it too. The design isn't new actually, I just got it recently. :) I'm still trying to get a hang of inking it once I emboss it. I also used that cute artisan element from Pink Paislee. It looked so much like waves to me that it seemed perfect for this card. I hope you like everything you're seeing! :)

WPlus9 June Release Sneak Peek: Day 3

Hi bloggies! It's Day 3 of the Wplus9 June Release Sneak Peeks! I hope you're all enjoying yourselves and that you're getting great ideas from the design team members. If you're into shabby chic , then you're in the right blog. :) I have a nice "modern" shabby chic card for everyone today. I borrowed the term "modern" shabby chic from a friend here in blogland. I had no name for my version of shabby chic lol! And when my friend explained what "modern" shabby chic was to her it made sense to me! :) 


Here's my card for WPlus9 June Release Sneak Peek: Day 3 - Pile It On.

For today's card, I used this gorgeous Prima patterned paper. I was sitting at my desk and didn't have an idea what I was going to make. When that happens I usually grab some patterned papers and it usually helps give me some inspiration. I LOVE the colors on this patterned paper and decided to work on that. I told you this set was versatile! The dies can work as either ice cream cones or banners. I'm pretty sure there are more than just two ways to use them...I just haven't thought of them yet! Haha! :)

I stamped the cake with some wheat ink and I stamped the polka dot design over it using olive chalk ink. I also used the Brothers and Sisters label stamp and die. I am loving the lace I used on this card. I'm terribly sorry that I can't tell you where I got it from. I actually got it right before the etsy store was closing and so now I can't even remember the name of the store itself. I also stamped the dogwood flowers from Flora and Fauna. It's one of my favorite WPlus9 stamp sets. :) I hope you're liking what you see so far!

I'll see you again tomorrow for another sneak peek of Pile It On! Don't forget to check out the other fabulous designers of the WPlus9 Design Team! :)

The Craft's Meow June Release - Day 3

Hi friends! I'm back AGAIN! Are you ladies sick of me by now?! Haha! I'll be having two posts every night until June 1st. So hang in there with me and enjoy the ride! Today is Day 3 of The Craft's Meow June Release. We have an absolutely fun stamp set from Nina Brackett today, it's called Sending You Sunshine. We also have a small sentiment stamp called Just Sayin' accompanying it. Without further ado...here are my cards for today's sneak peek! :)


Let's start with Sending You Sunshine. Let me just say that this stamp set is suuuuuper cute!!! There are so many images that you can mix and match! I'm still not yet good with my copics. Thankfully these images were easy to color. It's a pretty simple card. I was thinking it would be great for a baby girl. :) How do you like it?

 I have a second card for today. This one is for Just Sayin'. I used the background letter stamp so create that cute little central panel. I also used my favorite TCM stamp, Butterfly Kisses. And, I couldn't resist, but I had to use my Timeless Tags again! :) The fairy image beneath the ornate frame is from Graphic 45. It's available over at the TCM store. 

And now for the prizes...as is customary for The Craft's Meow, we'll draw THREE of you to win Sending You Sunshine... one from each of three of the design team blogs. You'll have until 10:00 pm Pacific tonight to make the rounds and leave comments. We'll announce the winners in tomorrow's post. Enjoy and good luck!!!

The Craft's Meow June Release - Day 2

***Don't forget to check out my WPlus9 June Release Sneak Peek: Day 2 right here.***


Hi bloggies! I told you I was going to be a busy bee until June 1st. I'm not used to making two-three posts a night for consecutive nights. I am totally running out of stuff to say! lol! I hope you're all having fun with the releases though! The Craft's Meow has another fantastic stamp set for everyone today. This one is for everyone who LOVES labels. And I DO!!! :) 


I'm just going to jump right into it ok? :) Here's my card for day 2.

Timeless Tags by the very talented Nina Brackett is made up of 4 main label stamps as well as sentiments and that gorgeous flourish I used on my card. I love the intricate designs on the labels and the font is just perfect for my style. I can see myself using this set over and over again. :) I also used another one of the stamps from Celebrating You here on my card. When I was envisioning this card, I could see the beautiful fuchsia flowers peeking from behind the gorgeous label. 


Of course we can't have a card without some flowers, crochet lace, and bling. Haha! How are you liking my card so far? I hope I'm giving you some ideas as to how to use the stamps. I know for myself, I look forward to release days to get as many ideas for the new stamp set as possible. 


And now for the prizes...as is customary for The Craft's Meow, we'll draw THREE of you to win Timeless Tags... one from each of three of the design team blogs. You'll have until 10:00 pm Pacific tonight to make the rounds and leave comments. We'll announce the winners in tomorrow's post. Enjoy and good luck!!!

WPlus9 June Release Sneak Peek: Day 2

Hi friends! Whew what a busy weekend! But then again, it's also VERY exciting! If you're a little late to the party, you should know what WPLus9 is releasing a fun stamp set with coordinating die this June. It's called Pile It On, and I'm thinking you will have so much use for it for birthday/party cards. It is absolutely wonderful! 


For Day 2 of the sneak peek, I have something a little more simple, less layered and cutesy for everyone. I know not everyone likes to do too much layering like I do...so I made this one for all of you who like it simple and cutesy.

I thought it would be nice to have something sweet and simple. For this card, I used Mehndi Medallions to make a small panel of background paper. It's one of my favorite WPlus9 stamps. It's so versatile that I've found myself grabbing it without even thinking twice. I also stamped and die cut the gorgeous label from Brothers and Sisters. If you've been following me for some time now you'll probably notice that I LOVE labels. Hee! :) 

I used the same stamp from yesterday's card, except this time I used it as a cake! I told you it was versatile!!! Isn't it great?! I think this is the best use for it though. It would be great for birthdays. anniversaries, parties... The possibilities are endless!!! I guess the only thing that would hinder you would be  your imagination. :) I hope you're liking the cards from the sneak peeks. We're going to have it until June 1st when it's released over at the WPlus9 store. 

I'll see you again tomorrow for another sneak peek of Pile It On! Don't forget to check out the other fabulous designers of the WPlus9 Design Team! :)

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge 49

***My WPlus9 June Release Sneak Peek: Day 1 is right here.***
**My The Craft's Meow June Release: Day 1 is just below, so just scroll down.**


Hi AGAIN bloggies! Haha! Well, you're probably tired of me by now. But before I let you go, I have one more post for today. Of course since it is Saturday, it can be for none other than Waltzingmouse SKetch Challenge. Here's our sketch for this week's WMSC 49.

I enjoyed this sketch so much. The wonderful thing about Waltzingmouse sketches is that they're pretty simple, and yet open to different interpretations. This sketch challenged me to make a background for my card. So I used Text It and Dainty Doilies 2 Small for that. I also used Very Vintage Labels No. 10 and Fancy Phrases for the label on the sketch.

And since I can barely keep my head up right now...I'm going to keep this post short. As always, don't forget to browse through the cards of the other Mischief Makers as well as Waltzingmouse Stamp Design Team sites.
