Hi there!! I know...I have had a lot of posts going on in the past few days! It always seems as though I have a ton of stuff going on at the same time! SO...if you are looking for my latest WPlus9 release post, either scroll down one post, or CLICK HERE.
This week Lawn Fawn is partnering with Helmar USA (an adhesive manufacturer)! There will be fun projects on the two blogs all week long, along with some fun giveaways! So, be sure to check out both blogs all week long to find out what you can win, and to be inspired by all the amazing projects!!
For my card, I mostly used the Helmar Permanent Adhesive Runner. I used it to glue all papers, ribbons & trims to the card front. I also did a bit of machine stitching on my card, and the great thing about this adhesive is that it didn't gum up or hurt the needle in my machine at all. That is really great! I also used a white Zapdot to help my stamped tag keep its dimension from the glittered chipboard frame.
I used Viva la Verve! May 2011 sketch #2 to help with the design of my card. I used the CR84FN30 colors (light blue, light yellow, kraft) and The Shabby Tea Room #54 (2 patterned papers, 4 buttons, & 6 layers). You might be thinking, "I only see 3 buttons." There are only 3 physical buttons...but if you look very closely at the right side of the vintage baby image...the ribbon is looped with a button- and that is what I am considering my 4th button! Tee hee! I hope that isn't cheating...a 4th physical button just didn't really work for me!

Hi there, everyone!! So, have you been enjoying the WPlus9 June 2011 release so far? Are you thinking about all the wondrous things you will be able to do with the new set, "Pile It On"? I think it has been such a fun release so far, and I love checking out what all the other designers do on their cards! It just goes to show that the same stamp set will never look the same because everyone's styles are so different!
For tonight's card, I used the banner dies that match the stamp set, and then stamped the ice cream cone inside each one for some color and pattern. I then diecut a tag (using a non WPlus9 steel die), and added a fabulous sentiment from the Pile It On set. This set went just perfectly with the carnival theme collection from Glitz Design called "Afternoon Muse".
I used the Viva la Verve! May 2011 Week 5 sketch to help with the design of my card. I also created it for Crazy 4 Challenges #89, which is to create a card showing a favorite vacation spot or summer activity. Well, I don't know about you....but I LOVE going to the fair every summer! And last but not least...I created this as a sample for the Get Your Glitz On Challenge #2: Clustering. There are only a couple more days left to enter a project in for the challenge, but the winner will get the entire Afternoon Muse collection sent to them!! So, if you've got some Glitz goodies and some time...check out the challenge and get to creating!!

Hi there everyone!! Welcome to day 2 of the WPlus9 June 2011 release of the latest set called "Pile It On"! Yesterday I went completely clean & simple for you...showcasing the matching dies for this set, and how you can use them with felt. Today I have created a card that is on the shabby chic side, and completely different from the card I created yesterday. This set can work for any and all card styles out there, and I love that about it!
I used the Viva la Verve! May 2011 sketch #4 to help with the design of my card, swapping out the oval for a rectangle. I also used CR84FN29 (light plum, plum, kraft) for my card, although I am a little late on it, and it won't get to be added to the link list. Nevertheless, the color combo was perfect for what I wanted! And lastly, it also fits Just Add Ink #69, to use fussy cutting (which I did on the butterfly accent). Here is what I created!!

"Best Wishes, Today and Always" supplies:
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (vintage cream)
Paper: Webster's Pages (Seaside Retreat & Nature's Storybook 6x6 pad)
Stamps: WPlus9 (Pile It On & Filigreed Frames sets)
Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: lilac, eggplant, chestnut & Chalk: creamy brown)
Chipboard: Tattered Angels
Ribbon: Renaissance by Design
Lace: vintage craft supply
Flowers: Recollections
Jewels: Doodlebug Designs
Pearls: Kaiser Craft
Glitter: DecoArt
Instructions: Fold vintage cream cardstock in half to make card base, and ink the edges. Cut eggplant paper slightly smaller, ink the edges, and adhere to the card front. Ink the edges of a violet paper block, layer on top, and then adhere lace around the middle. Stamp the sentiment to the lower left corner of the violet block. Ink the edges of a parchment paper block, and then stamp the cake to it. Accent the cake with pearls, and adhere the stamped block to the card. Frame the cake with a chipboard piece, add a purple dotted bow to the lower right corner and accent the middle of it with paper flowers. Fussy cut a butterfly from patterned paper, adhere to the opposite corner, and accent the middle with pearls. Cover chipboard photo corners with glitter, and adhere to opposite corners. Accent each one with a purple jewel to finish.
Did you notice that I combined this set with another WPlus9 stamp set? The sentiments that come with Pile It On are super cute, but I needed something a bit more elegant. So, I combined the cake layers from Pile It On with sentiments from Filigreed Frames...and they went together perfectly! When I was creating this, my initial meaning for it was as a wedding card. Looking at it, it could also be an elegant birthday card. I know all the women in my family would love to receive it, as well as people I know that are getting married. I just love when you create something that has many purposes!!
