Without further ado, Jen...

Hello again!  I'm excited to be back for my third Leading Lady post!  I've really been enjoying spending time with you this month!  Thank you for all of the nice comments you've left on my posts!  

Today's topic focuses on using the Cover Model: Do You See What I See Cutaway to make two totally different looking cards.

First up is this bright and colorful card.  I die cut the Cover Model: Do You See What I See Cutaway with white cardstock first and then attached that to my cardbase.  I then used a rainbow of colorful cardstock and pieced each row together.  It looks time consuming but it really went quickly.  I just dabbed a dot of glue in each empty space and then inserted the individual pieces one row at a time. 

For the sentiment I die cut the Tagged: Holiday Cheer Cutaways from vellum.  I embossed the yellow "you" that I had stamped using the The Big, The Bold and You stamp set.  The "amazing" was embossed with white and stamped using the same sentiment set.  The little stars were die cut with a die in the Tagged: Holiday Cheer Cutaways.

I like adding a little dimension to my cards so in this photo you can see how I also popped up some of the diamonds in each row.

For my second card I went with a more sophisticated look.  I first die cut the Cover Model die from black cardstock and adhered it to a white card base.  I then chose five colors of cardstock and placed those pieces in the corresponding places using a small dab of glue.  I die cut the "believe" from aqua cardstock using the In a Word: Believe Cutaway die and then layered it on top of two more die cuts to give it dimension.  I stamped the sentiment, from the In Bloom: Debra's Poinsettia with Lydia Evans on black cardstock and then embossed it in white.

Have Faith and Believe with Heather H.

Good morning! Heather here to share a fun little shaker card (with a twist!) that I put together using some of the latest release from Winnie and Walter! Even though the last release had many items with a Christmas theme, there are loads of sentiments that can be used well beyond that season!

For my card today, I started off by cutting the frame from In a Word: Holiday Tiles out of lavender glitter cardstock from Simon Says Stamp. I also die cut In a Word: Believe Cutaway from SSS turquoise glitter cardstock. I heat embossed a tiny sentiment from In Bloom: Debra's Poinsettias on a strip of black cardstock.

I assembled this as a see through shaker - so there is a window that goes completely through the front of the card! I started off by die cutting the frame from the front panel of white cardstock, as well as the white cardbase. I layered some acetate behind the panel on the front, then glued the glitter frames, words, and small sentiment into the front of that piece. I also applied acetate to the front of the card base around the window, then layered foam adhesive around the window and edges of that. I filled the center with some pretty iridescent tiny star confetti from Pretty Pink Posh, then layered the pieces together! I used one of the white die cuts on the inside to give it a nice clean finished look on both sides.

Hope you enjoyed and feel inspired! Have a wonderful day!!!

December Leading Lady Kimberly Rendino | Take Two

Our December Leading Lady Kimberly Rendino is back for her sensational second performance!  If you missed her smashing debut you must see it...CLICK HERE.   Today's cards show Kimberly can make magic without getting inky!

Ladies and gentlemen, Kimberly....

Hello friends!  I'm so happy to be back with you again this fine Saturday on the Winnie & Walter blog!  Last week I mentioned that I'd be sharing cards that use NO STAMPING for this post.  That's right....ZERO stamps!   w&w has some seriously awesome dies, and I thought I'd challenge myself to leave the stamps on the shelf this time around!  Here's what I came up with!

I used the Essentials: Josephine Cutaways as the main focus of this card.   First I die cut and then I added some ink blending with Distress Oxide inks.   I adhered the frame piece to my card base and then rotated the main hexagon so that the colors appear opposite, and adhered it with foam tape.  

I die cut the In a Word: Believe Cutaway twice, once from silver glitter paper and once from white, and offset them.   

See those snowflakes?   Can you guess what I used to create them?  I used the Cover Model: Do You See What I See? Cutaway, and just cut apart some of the background.   I'm convinced there are about a million uses for this Cutaway!!!  As a matter of fact, I've used it again on my next card!  

I die cut the Cover Model: Do You See What I See? Cutaway from kraft paper, popped out some of the diamond pieces and adhered it to my card base.   I ran the cutaway through my die cutting machine once again using patterned paper, and added those pieces to the card base.  A few gems in the center add a little bling!  

For the sentiment, I used In a Word: Holiday Tiles Cutaways to die cut the Peace, Love, Joy sentiment from a strip of kraft cardstock.  I mounted it on a piece of matching red cardstock to finish things off!

I hope you've enjoyed today's cards - I think it's amazing what you can create without using any stamps!   Next week I'll be back (with stamps, of course!) sharing cards using sequins as accents!  See you next Saturday!

==========================================================

Today is all about the In a Word series which has a consistent length to all it's big words. We are introducing a new stamp set to the series: In a Word: Merry stamp set which has the stamp form of In a Word: Merry Cutaway, an outline of the same word, a new elegant "merry" and then a handwritten "merry" along with a few little images and smaller yet still bold supporting words.  We hope you find this set an invaluable part of your crafting arsenal!  Want coordinating cutaways to the stamp set? We've got that too with the In a Word: Merry Coordinating Cutaways.

Another new addition to the In a Word series is In a Word: Holiday Tiles Cutaways which has six (6) holiday words/phrases all the same length as the rest of the In a Word series along with a scalloped frame and inner rectangle that can be used with the words for lots of different options.

We are also coming out with another of our traditional In a Word cutaways: In a Word: Believe Cutaway.  These dies are so fun and versatile that they will go with any style of crafting and since they are a bit chunkier than our The Big, the Bold series they would be ideal for some shaker projects too. :-)

Shay

Thank you so much for joining us for our November 2017 Release Week!  I am really excited to share what we've created for you. :-)

I made a couple of simple cards for you today.  

I used In a Word: Holiday Tiles Cutaways to create the cards.  I simply cut each of the sentiments out of the frame (you just place the sentiment within within the open rectangle inside the frame) to create 6 tiles from white cardstock.  With 2 of the scalloped frames I watercolored one in red-pinks and the other blues.  On two white cardstock panels I attached the titles and with each I adhered one of the tiles within the frame which I attached to the panels with dimensional foam adhesive.  I adhered each panel to a white A2 card base.  Lastly, I added some stars and gems.

My cards are a very simple introduction to what can be done...wait until you see the marvels our guest, Alice Wetz, and The Talent have in store for you!  Please be sure to click the links to their blogs and leave them some love.
