Wild Birthday w/Kara ft. BIG DEAL

Hey Guys! It's Kara here today and I'm headed to a wild birthday party this weekend! My youngest cousin, James, is turning 6!

I hope he loves this card. I do and I'm a little bit older than he is. ;) For this bright, fun scene I used Big Deal and Big Deal Additions stamp sets and their coordinating die sets. These sets make it so easy to create an exciting little circus scene. I chose the pandas because James loves them. I stuck to just 3 bright Copic colors to make it simple to color.

Each die cut is doubled up with foam adhesive in between to add dimension and interest from all angles. A few stars stamped in the background finish it off!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

GUEST ARTIST FEATURE: Amy Rysavy

Hello everyone! Amy Rysavy here with Prairie Paper & Ink, and I am so excited and honored to be guest designing again for WPlus9!

I needed to make a birthday card recently, and something I love to do is create and personalize birthday cards especially for my kids and kids of friends. I will spend extra time and effort on the one card just because I can and because I enjoy it so much!

I used the Friends for All Seasons: Fall stamp and coordinating die set, along with the That Is All stamp set.

When asked the recipient told me their favorite colors were "rainbow and gold" LOL! So that's what I decided to do.

I stamped the images onto some hot press watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink then watercolored them all in with my Mijello Mission Gold watercolors. I was totally inspired by a recent card that Kristina Werner did when I colored in the bear. I started with a light grey then dropped in various "rainbow" colors.

I created my background with a light watercolor that when dry I stamped and embossed the leaves from the Friends for All Seasons: Fall set. I added some gold watercolor and some splatter (of course!) before adhering my die cut bear and balloons with foam tape.

On the inside of the card is where I did the personalization. The Whimsy Alpha and coordinating die set are PERFECT for this sort of thing! I stamped them in rainbow order (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple – it was just luck that the letters in the name were the perfect amount) before die cutting them and adhering them to the inside of the card.

I completed the inside with more sentiments from the That Is All stamp set and that was it!

Building a Scene with Kelly ft. Garden Buddies

Hello Crafters! Do you have stamps sets you've purchased that when you bought them you had big plans for but then life just got in the way? Or new stuff found a home in your craft room? or you just plain forgot the wonderful adorable stamps you have waiting for you?

Yeah, me too.

When Garden Buddies first came out I had all kinds of ideas including doing a charming little garden scene for these cutie pies. Unfortunately, it just never came to fruition and time passed by with no uber adorable scene card in sight.

Until today!!

Plus, I got to pair it with the new Bigtop background stamp which really helped set the scene in this card. It's almost like the card knew to wait until I could pair them together haha!

You can watch the whole video below but be warned it's a bit longer. Scene cards just are more time consuming, however, it's usually worth it!

The fence really started all that crazy detail but I can't be too sorry about it. I love the way it turned out! Exactly the super cute scene I saw in my head :)

Thanks for visiting!
