Cloud 9 Blog Hop--March

Happy Monday!

 

So yesterday I shared a card using Wplus9 stamps.........I told 'ya I loved them.  I had more time to ink up some other Wplus9 stamps too!  Today's card is for the March Cloud 9 Blog Hop.  I went for a softer side and each image is stamped off once to achieve this muted look. 

 

 Here is the gorgeous inspiration photo for this month:

Cloud 9 February Blog Hop

 

 

Hello!!!  While you are reading this, my family and I are on our way to Disney World!  Some of you know that is was a big SECRET for our kids........I will report back on how we revealed our destination along with pics! 

 

 

So ahead to the Cloud 9 Blog Hop for February!  I was so disappointed that I missed last month's blog hop that I was NOT going to miss this months!  It's no secret that I LOVE Wplus9 products especially their stamps, paper, dies, and well just everything!  I can't wait to try their newly released white ink too!  (it's in a box waiting for me when I get back)  Here is this month's inspiration photo:

  I love the look of handmade Valentines.  The striped background and it's colors fit perfectly for what my daughter's Valentines were shaping up to be this year.  Here is our version using Bitty Buddy Valentines from Wplus9.

 

I knew these had to be easy and quick since they would need to be done prior to vacation.  I love the frame stamp and the sentiment is from Bitty Buddy Valentines set too!  Instead of giving candy this year, Payton and I found these Valentine flair buttons on CLEARANCE at Michaels!  Score! 

I figured these would be easy enough for Miss Rooney to pass out to Payton's classmates!

I can't wait to see what others do with this inspiration photo!

Enjoy your weekend!

Cloud 9 Blog Hop {December}

 

Hi everyone!  I have a very CAS card to share today for the Cloud 9 Blog Hop! 

I was very lucky to be one of the guest designers this month! Yay! 

 

This month's inspiration photos were amazing........snowflakes, nordic images, gingham, etc.

I had such a hard time and couldn't decide what inspired me the most! So I went with the snowflakes and nordic theme!  Wplus9 has a wonderfully perfect set for this......Fair Isle Backgrounds.

 

 Here are the gorgeous inspiration photos for this month........

Cloud 9 Blog Hop {November}

 

What day is today?  (other than Friday....yippee!)  It's time for the Cloud 9 Blog Hop!  This is a fun time for me as I put to use those fabulous iamges from Wplus9 stamps.  I'm a huge fan and having a challenge to spark my creativity is just what I need sometimes!

 

This month was a gorgeous photo with crisp white quilted bedding with a holiday motif.  I chose to go with the quilted look and that bold blue and red color combo.  First using the Quilt Cuts 2 Die, I impressed the die into my cardstock.  Using the same quilt block die again, this time only diecutting the pattern with turquoise cardstock and adhering the pieces over my impressed pattern.  Then a simple heart was placed over the center. 

 

 Here is the inspiration photo for this month.....isn't it just gorgeous??

Cloud 9 Blog Hop {October}

Hi everyone!  I'm sharing my card for this month's Cloud 9 Blog Hop!  I didn't get a chance to photograph my card until last night for my post so you get to see it today instead!  When I originally sat down to work on my card, I had an idea but when I pulled out my stamps, I realized that I didn't have the Pocketful Halloween stamps.  So my idea fizzled.......Until I thought about what really inspired me about this photo this month.  For me, it was the patterns and the pumpkins.  But then I kept looking at the door too.  So I pulled out my window die and made it white and adding some black and white polka dot curtains! 

 

  Here's the inspiration photo from this month.  Gosh, how I wish my front porch could look like this!  Have a great fall day!!

Cloud9 Blog Hop--July

Hi everyone!  I know it's been very busy on my blog this week but I've been having lots of fun creating summery fun things!   Could this be that summer is half over?  No way!  :)

My post is all about Wplus9 and their gorgeous stamps!  I have been a fan for a LONG time and have too many of their stamps to even mention here but lucky for me, my good friend, Suzanne, started this blog called Cloud9 Blog Hop.  This is a place for those of us Wplus9'ers to get our time to use these stamps! 

Here is my card using Folk Art Florals and Heartfelt Mix.

Folk Art Florals is such a gorgeous set and they have matching dies!  Now I went for a more CAS card here but you could certainly spruce it up and use the dies too!

I'm also going to mention that all the inks here are Amuse.  I know some of you will say, "I told you so!"  And yes you should be saying this right now!  They stamp beautifully!  :)

So thank you for that push I needed to buy these!

Here is the inspiration photo for this month's Cloud9 Blog hop! 

Enjoy!
