WPlus9 February/March Release Day 3

Hello friends! The fun continues with Day 3 of the WPlus9 release previews! I can't tell you how much fun it has been working with the new stamps and dies, and today's cards are my favorites so far. :)

Today we are previewing one more stamp set and its coordinating die:

Written on Ribbon
Written on Ribbon companion die

Written on Ribbon has a beautiful folded banner image and tons of sentiments for weddings, birthdays, and more. For my first sample, I made a gate-fold card with the die cut banner right in the center.

I just can't get enough of this new white ink, so I used it to stamp images from Embroidered Bouquet onto dark gray cardstock. Love!

The banner and gems look orange, but they are SU's Calypso Coral. I'm a bit smitten with this gray and coral color combo at the moment.

Cardstock: Stampin' Up! (Basic Gray, Calypso Coral), WPlus9 Design Studio (White)

Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Embroidered Bouquet, Written on Ribbon)

Ink: WPlus9 Design Studio (White), Stampin' Up! (Calypso Coral, Basic Gray), Copic marker

Tools: WPlus9 Design Studio (Written on Ribbon die), We R Memory Keepers (Corner Chomper)

Accessories: Michaels (rhinestones)

For my second card, I wanted to use the small sentiments from Written on Ribbon in a different way, so I lined up several wedding-themed phrases on a block and stamped them down the edge of a white card base.

I stamped and die cut images from Lacey Layers and adhered them to a lavender panel, which is popped up with foam tape. I chose a focal sentiment from Heartfelt Mix, stamping "congratulations" on a white banner and "to the happy couple" below it.

WPlus9 February/March Release Day 2

Welcome back to Day 2 of previews of the February/March release from WPlus9 Design Studio! Today we're featuring two more gorgeous stamp sets and a collection of dies:

Lacey Layers
Lacey Layers Companion Dies
Embroidered Bouquet

And as if new stamps and dies weren't enough, this month there is a new product being introduced that is a must-have: white pigment ink! Oh my goodness, I thought I had my go-to white ink all figured out, but this new ink from WPlus9 is amazing! Just look at the coverage and crisp detail I got using it to stamp a background with Embroidered Bouquet onto kraft cardstock.

I used one of the new Lacey Layers dies to cut a window in the kraft panel, stamped the coordinating image from Lacey Layers in green, then added a sentiment from a set previewed yesterday, Very Vintage Florals. That cute little button stamp is part of the Lacey Layers set, too.

Cardstock: WPlus9 Design Studio (White), Papertrey Ink (Kraft)

Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Embroidered Bouquet, Lacey Layers, Very Vintage Florals)

Ink: WPlus9 Design Studio (White), Stampin' Up! (Pear Pizzazz, Chocolate Chip)

Tools: WPlus9 Design Studio (Lacey Layers dies)

Accessories: jute twine

My next card was difficult to photograph, so I apologize for the glare. I used multiple images from Lacey Layers, stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with clear powder on WPlus9's black cardstock. I added a sentiment from Spring Post on a strip of cream cardstock, using one of the circle dies included in the Lacey Layers Companion die set to round the end of the strip.

Don't let the reflection fool you--these images are incredibly detailed and stamp beautifully! And this card looks pretty amazing in real life, I must say. :)
