Launch Day: CSS + WPlus9!

Posted on | June 1, 2010 | 15 Comments |

I can’t believe it’s the first of June!! This means it’s three more days until Jovie’s birthday!! Yes, she’ll be ONE! Wow, how time flies!!!

In the mean time, two of the companies that I design for are launching some great new sets today! If you EVER need any sports related stamps Clear and Simple is the place to go. Have you seen their sports section? Loads and loads of sports related stuff!! Today I used one of their new golf set: Golf Pro – which on my card doesn’t quite look golfy although the card can probably go masculine/feminine. Whatcha think? I’m not very good at masculine cards and I am also not a huge golf person. Besides Laura at 2S4Y and one of my old co-worker I really don’t know anybody else who’s into golf to give them a golfy kind of card. Because of that I wanted to I create something that’s not golfy while using a golf set.

I used 2S4Y’s sketch again for this card. I figured since yesterday’s card was a bit more imaginative I’d do another one that’s more like the sketch. This month CSS is launching a new color (buttons, ribbon, paper, and ink): True Blue Fan which I love – just a really nice blue color!!!

If you’re wanting something more girlie and fun check out WPlus9′s two new sets: Hearts background and the Birds and the Bees. Very very fun and versatile sets, perfect for many occassions!! You’ve seen my creations with the two sets and I’ve only used a little bit of what’s in there!!

That’s that and more later!

Materials:

Stamps: CSS Golf Pro
Ink: CSS True Blue Fan
Cardstock: CSS True Blue Fan, PTI white
Accessories: Bakers Twine Annie42 (Etsy), buttons CSS, ribbon CSS, embossing powder Hero Arts clear, versamark
