WPlus9 February Release Week - Day 3

Hey there, everyone!  How has your weekend been so far?  I have had a great one...spent some time with my family and belatedly celebrated my birthday with them!  On Friday night we went to Lydia's for dinner, and then the Acoma for martinis....I have some Instagram photos at the end of the post to share of our night out together!  It was a really fun night, and nice to spend some time with my family.  The next morning the guys went ice fishing- my mom and I were going to meet them, but as we were driving there they called and told us that the fish just weren't biting.  So- we met them for lunch at a local restaurant....where Josh also told me some bad news.  His wedding ring fell down one of the ice fishing holes.  So- we made our way home early....and went ring shopping at Adair's.  Ha!  Stuff happens...and thankfully material things are replaceable.

Today is day 3 of the WPlus9 release, and we have one more stamp set & matching die to share with you.  Here is the information on them:

Written On Ribbon

• is a 4x6 clear photopolymer stamp set
• contains 24 high quality photo-polymer stamps; 23 sentiments and sentiment builders and 1 ribbon banner image
• will be available for purchase February 5th for $14

Written On Ribbon Companion Die

• coordinates with the Written On Ribbon stamp set
• will be available for purchase February 5th for $6

 I combined them with the "Cupid's Arrow" stamp set, and created a super sweet Valentine!  I paired the stamps with Pink Paislee's "Secret Crush" collection {can I just say I love the name of that collection.  It makes me smile every time I type it...like I have a secret myself, or something....tee hee!}.  Here is my glittery, shimmery Valentine!

Instructions:
1. Make A2 card from pink swiss dot cardstock.
2. Cut notebook paper slightly smaller, and adhere.
3. Cut a banner edge to a dotted paper strip, then adhere to the middle.
4. Layer a doily heart & a diecut heart to top of the dotted banner.
5. Cut out the banner, cover in glitter and adhere to the upper left corner.
6. Diecut & stamp the ribbon banner, then add a custom sentiment inside of it.
7. Layer the ribbon banner to the card front, with a diecut ticket in the lower right corner of the hearts.
8. Diecut, stamp & glitter the cupids, then adhere to each side of the ribbon banner.
9. Add a diecut arrow & heart to the bottom of the card, then accent with jewels.
10. Add two silver star confetti pieces to the front to finish.

-The Sweet Stop Sketch #196 - Sketch
