WPlus9 August Release - Papel Picado & GIVEAWAY!

Written by: iwona    128 Comments

As promised, I’m going to show you some of the goodies in the WPlus9 August release! You can see the full reveal of the new stamps and dies HERE on the WPlus9 blog, and while you’re there keep an eye on the daily (often multiple) opportunities to snatch some of those before they’re even available in the store!

I’m starting today with Papel Picado. It’s a lovely set with matching Companion Die.

This set of banners is inspired by a Mexican paper cutting and has a unique folk flair that only Dawn can pull off so well. It also coordinates with the alphabet dies available in the WPlus9 store… but it can do so much more! Here’s a couple of ideas.

Disclaimer: I know these photos suck and it breaks my heart that I have to leave them as they are until I’m back from work tomorrow and hopefull I’m able to re-take them. I was running late finishing them and therefore needed to take the photos in artificial light. Sometimes it works, sometimes doesn’t :-/

Here I stamped the banners from Papel Picado across the card in Wild Mango Dye Ink, then added the flowers to some in Ocean Drive, and stamped the lines from Heartfelt Mix set over each row in Silver Lining. The same ink and the latter stamp set was used to stamp the sentiment, which I tweaked firstly by bending it (somewhat lousily) to match the curvatures, and secondly by inking selectively. A few sequins here and there and the card was finished.

I covered each banner with a Wink of Stella, here you can see the shimmer:

Another card, where I heat embossed the biggest banner with red embossing powder and topped with the Hand Lettered Hello Die. I also slid underneath a couple of leaves from Folk Art Florals Die and stamped randomly the small flowers.

Here I tiled some of the stamps in the set, stamping them in Sweet Nectar and Silver Lining. Then I combined a die cut and a stamped sentiment from another new, fabulous stamp set with coordinating dies: Hand Lettered Thanks. I topped the letter “o” with a button.

Lastly I made this card, slightly different from the rest. I die cut the banners from both white cardstock and patterned papers, and stamped using a variety of WPlus9 inks. I used the Hand Lettered Thanks again to stamp the sentiments - the small one stamped on the banner was again inked separately so that the words appear in two rows instead of one.

I stitched the banners to the panel, topped with a flair, resin flower, twine, sequins, and did some extensive splattering with Glimmer Mist as well. If you look closely, you will see the sun rays from the retired Super Star set, stamped in Wild Mango.
