Now I turn you over to Emily....

I'm back on the Winnie & Walter blog for my second post as a Special Guest Star for their 3rd Birthday Bash celebrations! I'm so in love with the Typecast: Cary Letters Cutaways and I wanted to use them in a very different way from Friday's video post. 

Today's card features the Typecast: Cary Letters Cutaways front and centre as the star. I used the stripes from Scenery: Stripes and three different ombre inks to create a background behind the die cut letters.

The scripted honey word is from Sentimental: Endearments and we love you is from Sentimental: Love. I left out the negative pieces from the letters since I wanted to stamp a word in the o and having completely open letters shows off the ombre stripes.

Don't forget, you have until 11:55 p.m. CST tonight to enter the birthday challenges to win a $75 gift certificate, a chance to be a special guest star and the grand prize giveaway!

Thanks so much to Winnie & Walter for having me as a 3rd Birthday Bash Special Guest Star! I always have so much fun creating with these amazing products!!

w&w 3rd Birthday Bash | Special Guest Star Emily Leiphart {Video}

Today's special guest star, Emily Leiphart is no stranger to the w&w blog as a fantastic former Leading Lady and special guest star.  We love having her guest whenever possible as she's such a lovely person and her projects are always a joy to behold.  To see her past w&w blog projects please CLICK HERE.

Now it's Emily turn to take over the w&w blog....

Hi, everyone! Today, I have the pleasure of guesting on the Winnie & Walter blog to celebrate their 3rd Birthday! I made a set of four cards using six different stamp and die sets. I used holiday penguins to make everyday winter cards for love and encouragement.


I love the darling penguins and snowman from Season's Tweetings with Evelin T Designs so I wanted to feature them. I turned them into everyday winter critters by pairing them with sentiments from Sentimental: Love and Sentimental: Endearments. The clean and scripted combination of these fonts makes them a must-have.

I lightly colour-washed the frames to use them as background anchors for the critters and also as a base for stamping the sentiments. To create the textured background panels, I used uncut Typecast: Cary Letters Cutaways to dry emboss white linen cardstock.

For final embellishments, I added some sparkling clear sequins to all of the cards.

Be sure to visit THIS Winnie & Walter post for full details on their month-long celebration, as well as a grand prize giveaway. You don't want to miss it!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Rerun No. 14 | In Bloom: Renee's Leaves (Challenge + Giveaway + Sale!)

Welcome lovelies to our next monthly Rerun!

Each Rerun will provide plenty of inspiration focusing upon a featured product, a month-long sale on the featured product and a challenge (with a prize!) and *all-new* giveaway.  You will not want to miss out!

For our fourteenth Rerun we are concentrating on In Bloom: Renee's Leaves.  This set is full of lovely leaves and other images perfect for autumn or any other time of year.

Now on to the cards!

Shay

I adore leaves as they are exceptionally versatile and beautiful. In Bloom: Renee's Leaves has excellent images to color in or leave as an outline.

I am in love with the patterned paper from Indigo Hills by Pinkfresh Studio (the whole collection) and it made for a sensationally easy and fast card.  I simply stamped the leaf several times in Versmark on the Sierra patterned paper and heat embossed it in navy embossing powder.  Using a brush and water I painted in the leaves using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in blueprint sketch.  I attached the patterned paper onto a white A2 cardbase.

I had a piece of grey cardstock from a previous project that I had cut out "celebrate" from The Big, the Bold and Party Cutaways and then I cut it out of out "celebrate" from silver cardstock and nested the silver celebrate in the grey piece of cardstock.  I attached it to the card using foam dimensional adhesive and added some white enamel dots from Twine +Ink.

That's it from me...wait until you see what our Special Guest Star, Emily Leiphart, Gayatri, Heather H., Keren and Lydia did with In Bloom: Renee's Leaves!

February Leading Lady Emily Leiphart | Take Four

Our fabulous February is coming to a close which sadly means it is our last Saturday with our astounding February Leading Lady, Emily Leiphart.  We could not have asked for a better leading lady to take the stage during our Belated 2nd Birthday Bash!  The last four weeks with Emily and having her join in on our February Belated 2nd Birthday Bash has been a true blessing.  Emily's outstanding mastery of design, color and creativity has been a true inspiration and we loved every moment.

If you missed her smashing debut you must see it...CLICK HERE or her sensational second performance taking on the positive and negative CLICK HERE or her triumphant third performance in which she shows her skills by using the same products to create two cards with two different dynamic looks CLICK HERE.

Lucky for us all we have her final command performance today.  

Hi, everyone! It's hard to believe that this is my final week as Winnie & Walter's Leading Lady! Every Saturday, I shared projects with a weekly theme. Today's theme is gift wrap and I made a set of cards with a tag and matching pillow box in the art deco style!

For the background of the card set, I used pearlescent embossing paste with the Scenery: Do You See What I See? Creative Screenings stencil. I added splatter using a mixture of Black Soot distress ink and water on a Ranger craft sheet.

The stone grey panels were die cut using Essentials: Noelle Cutaways and the white hearts are from the Flawless Heart set, just released last night! The sentiment is In a Word: Thanks Cutaway.

I used the exact same supplies for the pillow box. Since the base of the cards was cut from linen cardstock, so was the pillow box itself. I wrapped the Essentials: Noelle Cutaways die around the pillow box and placed the Flawless Heart on top. Since the centre of the heart was white on white, unlike the cards themselves, I added a stone grey centre before adding the In a Word: Thanks Cutaway sentiment.

Both the pillow box and clear box were wrapped with white silk ribbon. The tag was created using Essentials: Katharine Cutaways. I dry embossed it with the Flawless Heart die and then stamped a small sentiment from Happiest of Holidays with Evelin T Designs on a stone grey heart from the centre of the aforementioned die.

I've truly enjoyed my month as Leading Lady this month and I cannot thank Shay enough for having me! It's been a great honour to be featured here on the Winnie & Walter blog and I hope you have enjoyed my projects. :)

GIVEAWAY

Winnie & Walter has given me a $30 gift card to share with my readers! All you need to do is head to my blog and comment on all four of my Leading Lady posts this month and you'll be entered to win. You have until 11:59 p.m. on March 3rd to enter. I will announce my winner on my blog on  Friday, March 4, 2016 so be sure to check there to see if you're the lucky winner. Good luck! :)
