w&w 5th Birthday Bash | Layering Die Cuts Challenge with Jessica

Hi everyone! I’m so excited today because it’s Winnie & Walter’s fifth birthday! We are celebrating with tons of prizes and challenges, and I hope you’ll join us this year, too. 

My challenge is layering die-cuts. Whether it’s word dies, cover plate dies or stand alone dies, you can always find new ways to use them creatively. So I encourage you stretch the use of your dies and layer them!

I have two cards to share with you today; the first one features the number dies from Typecast: Cary Number Cutaways set, and the second one uses the In a Word: Love Coordinating Cutaways set. 

For this CAS rainbow card, I decided to die cut the numbers from Stampin’ Up’s cardstock. The colors I used are Merry Merlot, Tangerine Tango, Hello Honey, Cucumber Crush, and Blueberry Bushel. 

I die cut 5 of each number (because it’s W&W's 5th birthday!) and adhered them together with On-Point glue. This makes the numbers dimensional and almost look like chipboard pieces. 

Then I adhered a strip of silver vellum paper to my card base, added some enamel dots, and the card is complete!

The second card features one of my favorite product lines from Winnie & Walter: the In a Word series! I love these dies so much, and they are actually what captured my heart when I first saw Winnie & Walter. I was inspired by one of Lydia’s cards from a previous release and decided to layer these two love word dies to create this fun look. You can also use In a Word: Happy Coordinating Cutaways, In a Word: Thanks Coordinating Cutaways, and In a Word: Merry Coordinating Cutaways to create similar effects. 

I hope you enjoyed today’s easy tips on layering die cuts. If you would like to learn 3 more techniques about die cut layering, be sure to come back for my next post/video. Thanks so much for stopping by, and I’ll see you very soon.

Happy Friday and our final Premiere Day!  Liking (maybe even loving) the new release?  We are going out big...like yeti-big. :-)  Evelin's sets this release are stunning.

I have two cards for you today.

I have to admit I am sort of in love with my first card.  I imagined the sugar plum fairy from Nutcracker Kisses with Evelin T Designs inside the snow globe from Snowy Holiday with Evelin T Designs and I created a card around it.

 

I stamped the snow globe on 3 different patterned papers.  On the snow layer I painted over the pale pink patterned paper with white paint.  For the main "glass" section I used a glitter patterned paper and dry brushed it with some white paint.  For the sugar plum fairy I stamped her cut her out with the corresponding cutaway and used Copics to color her in.  I adhered her to the snow globe and then I used a brush and the white paint and added dots of snow over the fairy and in the the snow globe.  For the sentiment I curved the sentiment and stamped it in Versamark and heat embossed it in gold and adhered it to the snow globe base.  The entire snow globe was attached to the panel cut using the largest decorative rectangle from Essentials: Tilda Cutaways with dimensional foam adhesive.  Everything was then adhered to a white A2 card base.

For my second card I went simple because the yetis are just so darn adorable they don't need much.  On a white panel I stamped the mom and baby yeti (darling, right?)  I colored in with Copics.  Then I stamped "happy" from Happy Birthday to You and cut out In a Word: Holiday Cutaway from patterned paper.  Last I added the border from Scenery: Stripes 2.

That is all from me, but I am over the moon with what our November Leading Lady Jill Vickers, our October Leading Lady Trina Pham, Crystal, Gayatri, Heather, Kate, Kelly and Lea created for you today!

Happy Thursday!   How are you liking the release so far?

Let's see what I came up for you today:

For the first card I wanted something modern and fun.  So I stamped the deer from Snowy Holiday with Evelin T Designs and covered it with a mask.  I then inked up dots from Scenery: Dotty in peacock feather, abandoned carol and fossilized amber Oxide Distress Inks along with black jack ink.  Okay, I have a serious problem with gold spray because I used it once again and I know I will again because I love what it brings to the card.  Last I stamped the sentiment in Versafine.

The second card I stamped the adorable car with tree and colored it in with colored pencils...the image is so sweet that my mediocre coloring still looks good enough.  I stamped the sentiment (okay in all honestly I stamped the sentiment on a piece of cardstock and adhered it on later as I forgot to stamp the sentiment prior to adhering the panel with foam adhesive).  I cut out the card using the smaller patterned rectangle from the new Essentials: Tilda Cutaways.  Tip: when cutting these dies apart be patient and use as small of wire cutters as possible as they are packed close together.  I cut a black cardstock panel with the larger plain rectangle and adhered the stamped panel to the black one with foam dimensional adhesive. I placed it all on a panel I created using Scenery: Pennsylvania Polka Creative Screenings using a silver spray and then abandoned coral ink over that.

You've not seen anything yet!  Serious you will be as blown away as I am...Jill Vickers our November Leading Lady and Trina Pham our October Leading Lady, Crystal, Gayatri, Heather, Kate, Kelly and Lea are joining me today with these amazing cards:

WCMD 2018 | Stamp Images Mash Up Challenge with Jessica (Video)

To get all the information about w&w WCMD 2018 CLICK HERE.

Hi everyone, and happy World Card Making Day! I hope you are enjoying the celebration on the Winnie & Walter blog so far. :) I love being inspired by challenges and I hope you'll like the one I'm hosting today: the Stamp Images Mash Up challenge! Stretching the use of my stamps and dies is certainly one of my favorite crafting techniques, and I think combining images from 3 different stamp sets is a fun way to do so. Here's the card I created for today: 

Video found here:

I picked out a couple of images from Season's Tweetings with Eveling T. Designs, In Bloom: Elsa's Flora, and Wish Big with Eveling T. Designs to create this snow globe scene. You might wonder where I used the Wish Big set; the cupcake stamp from it is disguised as the snow globe base!

All of the images are colored with Copic markers.

Are you ready to take on the challenge? I can't wait to see your stamp images mash up creations! 

Prize: One randomly chosen project that is linked up will win $50.00 gift credit to the w&w shop.  **Remember for rules about the challenges to read up HERE.**

Brutus Monroe + Winnie & Walter Collaboration Week | Day 7

Hi everyone! It's Jessica here again with another project featuring the Brutus Monroe + Winnie & Walter collab. I actually drew inspiration from the rainbow floral card I shared earlier - you can read about it HERE. 

There are a lot of shared elements and concepts between these two cards: rainbow colors, dark backgrounds, gold details, heart shapes, and vellum accents. I don't usually create cards with similar elements back to back, but it's fun to CASE yourself once in a while. :)

If you know anything about me, you know that I'm a big fan of bunnies. Yes, I'm not a cat or dog person (*gasp*), but I do love these adorable fluff balls. So of course I have to create a card with the Bunny Kisses set. I stamped the image with Onyx Black Versafine ink, clear heat embossed it, and watercolored with my ZIG markers. 

For the background, I die cut three hearts from the True Dotty Heart Cutaways and the True Multifaceted Heart Cutaways. And I blended three Distress Oxide Inks for each heart. For the top heart I used Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, and Peacock Feathers. For the middle heart I used Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick, and Candied Apple. And for the bottom heart I used Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron, and Lucky Clover. 

In my floral heart card, I used patterned vellum paper. But for this project, I decided to create some interest by applying embossing paste with the Paint Spots stencil. Finally, I completed the card by stamping the sentiment from Happy Dance with Evelin T. Designs. (Doesn't it go so well with the lovely image?) Thank you so much for stopping by, let me know which is your favorite card, I'd love to know in the comments!
