June Leading Lady Caly Person | Take Two

Our June Leading Lady Caly Person back for her sensational second performance!  If you missed her smashing debut you must see it...CLICK HERE.   Today's card is so very pretty and expertly composed and designed!

Ladies and gentlemen, Caly...

Welcome back, Friends! It's week two for me as a Winnie & Walter Leading Lady! Last week, I shared a shaker card made using simple stamping and adding shading using colored pencils. I'm focusing on a different medium every week and this week's card is made using Copics.

   

Copics are my go-to coloring medium because I love how they blend. I have to admit - they take a lot of time to perfect sometimes and I know that's intimidating for a lot of people. Fear not! I'm here to tell you - you don't have to be a professional to color beautifully. Every color choice and blending is all in the artistry of the marker holder - that's you!

 

I die cut a dotty heart from the True Dotty Heart Cutaways using pink cardstock to create a focal point on my card. I propped it up using some foam squares to give it some dimentsion. Then I stamped and colored a bunch of flowers and leaves from the In Bloom: Carolina's Florals with Angelica Suarez stamp and coordinating cutaways sets. I find that googling a flower sometimes, helps me visualize. That's what I had to do for the daffodils on this card, anyway. I really didn't spend too much time on the coloring either - it helps to have images that are smaller ;).

 

I layered all the pieces on this die-cut heart and imagined where I wanted all the pieces to sit and once I as happy, I started gluing it all down. Some of the flowers and leaves are under the heart also. To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Sentimental: Gift set on black paper and embossed with white powder. I left a lot of white space on the card because I felt this focal point is all the card needs.

This month-long feature will be every Saturday in June. If you stick around until the end of the month, you could win a fabulous gift card from Winnie & Walter. I will be drawing a winner from comments on my blog (on the final post) at the end of the month!

 

 Thanks for joining me this week! I'll be back next week to share more WW love!

I hope you enjoyed this card! See you back here next week for the next installment of my Leading Lady features!

Now on to the cards!

Shay 

So it's June already and time for another Rerun!  I am a big, big fan of woodgrain which means it comes to no surprise Scenery: Into the Woods was a must-have for me.

I went happy and simple here with Scenery: Into the Woods being the main focus and star.  I stamped the outline woodgrain 3 times on a piece of A2 cardstock with Versamark and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I then colored in 4 stripes with water and the following inks: Orange Twist, Tiara, Grass Skirt and Fiesta Blue and then adhered the panel to a white A2 card base.

Then I cut out the handwritten "happy" from In a Word: Happy Coordinating Cutaways and the birthday from In a Word: Birthday Tiles Cutaways (I did not completely cut away the birthday so the letters remained in place).  I adhered the happy to the birthday tile and then added it to the card with dimensional foam adhesive.  Done!  Fast and works for any gender.  You could also make tons of these in different color waves.

That's it from me...wait until you see what Crystal, Gayatri, Heather and Kate did with Scenery: Into the Woods ...so awesome!

June Leading Lady Caly Person | Take One

Today is a wonderful day as I get to introduce our June Leading Lady Caly Person.  I am not sure what Caly can't do...seriously this lady impresses me mightily!  Not only is she a dedicated wife and mother, she is incredibly intelligent, kind, sweet, organized, meticulous, ambitious and did I mention she is extremely talented?!?  She also has a cool head in a hot situation. :-)  

I am really excited to see what Caly will be creating this month as she takes us on an adventure of her own design on Saturdays in June on the w&w blog.

Please give Caly a big round of applause to welcome her as she steps onto the stage for her first performance as our June Leading Lady! 


Hi Friends! Thanks for joining me for my month-long Leading Lady feature for Winnie & Walter! I've said this before from meeting Shay (the owner) at Stamping Away - but I can't say enough nice things about this wonderful woman! She's funny, she's talented, she's kind, and wonderfully generous! I'm so happy to be her Leading Lady for the month of June!

   

Ok...so my profile doesn't look like that - but let's pretend I'm '30s-classic for the month, shall we? I LOVE IT! For the month, I want to focus on different color mediums. Today, we have some simple stamped images that are lightly shaded with colored pencils for added depth. My first card is made using the WW In a Word: Love stamp set. Let me first say that I adore (trying to use a word other than love here) WW's In a Word cutaways. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you seriously need to go to the WW shop and check it out. They're word dies and what makes them special is the words are all staggered - so unique (see what I mean in the image below)! In this set - you get all different styles of the word love.

   

I decided to make a shaker using one of the dies. I wanted the word to stand out - so I kept the panel stark white. Then I used the flowers from the set The Big, The Bold and Extras and its coordinating dies to accent the card. I stamped the flowers using Catherine Pooler Inks (Polished, It's a Girl, Mandarin Spice, and Garden Party) and shaded the flowers and leaves with some colored pencils. For the shaker space, I decided to give it some ombre color and inked the background up with Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide ink.

 

I had some extra leaves and tucked them into the word and I really think that balanced out the card. I used Pretty Pink Posh Sequins (pink peonies, watermelon, pink blush) to fill the space and called it good. The sentiment is from the In a Word: Love stamp set - simple and elegant.

Sweet Baby Card with Gayatri

Hey everyone, I have a baby card to share with you today. This is a clean and simple with dimension. Hope you like it. Here is the card for you.

I really love how this card turned out. Although this was not in the plan while making the card. I wanted to make a baby card and use In a Word: Baby cutaway. Also I wanted a subtle background and a dressed up Baby Cutaway. So after going through the stash, I picked Lola's Bouquet stamp set to dress the Baby Cutaway. I stamped the floral images and leaves using Altenew Pink Diamond and Bamboo inks on the Baby cutaway. I also die cut three more Baby cutaway using pink cardstock. Then I stacked and glued the three pink die cuts with the stamped die cut on top.

For the background, I used Creative Screening Madison and sponged Hickory Smoke distress ink lightly to get subtle pattern on a white panel. I used the same In a Word: Baby cutaway to die cut in the middle of the background panel. I adhered the negative panel on a white card base. Then I inlaid the stacked dimensional Baby die cut on the panel.

The secondary sentiment from The Big, the Bold and Baby stamp set is white heat embossed on a strip of white cardstock and sponged with Pinklicious ink to tie in with the pink colour on the Baby dimensional sentiment. The sentiment strips are trimmed and adhered as shown using foam adhesives. To tie in all the pink colours on the card, I added three shades of pink sparkly enamel dots from Doodlebug Cupcake Sprinkles.

I absolutely love the soft colours and lots of white on this card. All supplies used to make this card are listed below.

Hope you got inspired and share with us if you recreate this card.

Have a lovely day!
