Hello Notecards Featuring WPlus9 WPlus9 Hello and Thanks Stamp

This simple set of cards features stamping with white pigment ink on kraft cardstock.  The classic look paired with the image colored with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers is a nice focal point.  I used a white pigment pen to create the stitched edge to the card.  

 

Thinking of You - Leftovers

I had a few pieces from the recent card make for my Aunt and so I thought I would put them together with a watercolor background from the stash.  I like the pink cards best, but the bright yellow is so cheery, I couldn't help but like it.

A Thinking of You Card Set with an Advantageous Card Make to Go With It

I popping in to share a Mother's Day card that came out of a recent project for my Aunt.  She called and requested a set of cards with a Thinking of You sentiment to use to mail to friends and family during the quarantine.  This card design is what came out of that request.  I couldn't resist making a couple of Mother's Day cards in a matching format.  The images are stamped onto Bristol using my WPlus9 Hello and Thanks stamps and dies colored with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.  The lace in the background was die cut using a very old Heartfelt Creations Decorative Lace die that I modified a bit to make it work with my design.  The sentiment is from the stash and stamped on coordinating pink heavyweight cardstock.

I ultimately made 17 of these cards and I can say I really enjoyed the process, even the repetition.  I guess I very stimulated by the floral and the spring colors right now.  I'm hoping that your Mother's Day celebration might be joy filled, especially after our recent challenges.  Wishing you all health in the process.

A Second Faux Shiplap Hello Card

I had some images leftover on my desk from the faux shiplap card I posted earlier this week.  I decided to put a second card together with a slightly different look.  We saw robins on a recent trip to San Francisco and so I just knew he had to make it onto one of my card.

Instructions for creating this faux shiplap can be found in this video by Dawn Woswagle from WPlus9.



Here's a photo from our trip.  The robins were difficult to catch - please excuse the quality of the photo as they were constantly on the move.  It had been a while since I saw a robin, but did really enjoy it.

A Faux Shiplap Hello Card

I'm sharing a card today that totally brought me joy to make.  This card was inspired by this video by Dawn Woleswagle from WPlus9.  The background is a faux  shiplap look using a scoring technique and some chalk ink.  The images are stamped onto Bristol cardstock using my WPlus9 Hello and Thanks stamps and dies and then colored with my Polychromos pencils.  So much fun to make!

A Lord's Prayer Card Set

I have had the great pleasure of leading a Bible study focused on the Lord's Prayer with a few ladies I know well.  I wanted to give them a gift at the end of our study, so I picked up Divinity Designs Lord's Prayer Script stamp.  These cards are the set I made using the flowers from my WPlus9 Hello and Thanks stamp and die set.  I stamped the floral sprays onto some Bristol cardstock along with the Lord's Prayer stamp using my black Archival Ink.  I used my MISTI, but messed up a couple of the frames when I stamped so I ended up stamping some extra and adhering them to a few cards as well.

The flowers and leaves were colored using my Polychromos colored pencils.  These pencils make coloring an easy process and the results are delightful.

All frames were die cut using largest Divinity Designs Lavish Layers dies and matted on a solid cardstock background.  A simple card design as, in the end, I made 20 versions of these cards.  Easy to replicate quickly to create five sets of 4 cards to be given away.

Peach is a tough color to replicate using the 60 piece Polychromos set that I have.  I was able to make is happen with a couple different pencils and layering the color.  This set surprised me.  I tried it just to exercise my skills and I think it is one of my favorite from the set.

I think the ladies will love these cards and I hope they put them to good use.
