Mood Board from Wplus9

Hello!  I have a quick card to share today using some WPlus9 stamps! I was inspired by the Mood Board over on the company website and made a card using their color challenge of Peach, Navy and Kraft.
I used three WPlus9 stamps: Damask Delight, Defining Words and Guiding Light Sentiments.
 Now I can say I am glad I finally got around to using the stamps I found via Eclectic Paperie!  They have great customer service and I highly recommend them!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

NinaB Designs February Blog Hop

Welcome to the NinaB Designs Blog Hop! The theme of this month's hop is Make it Mini, in honor of February's being a short month. Nina challenged the team to create a project that is either small (mini-cards, mini-boxes, etc.) and/or intended for someone small (babies, kids, even pets:).
I made some mini cards using Nina's set for The Craft's Meow Sew Happy and the coordinating Spellbinders Sew Elements dies. The patterned paper I used for the cards is My Mind's Eye Portobellow Road and accented each mini-card with Want2Scrap bling.  All of the images/sentiments were stamped with Memento London Fog ink.


I thought it would be cute to make a holder for these little cards and coordinating envelopes and made this holder from a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of card stock using my Scor-Pal:
 
 The labels is from Lovely Labels 18And here is the inside:


 
Here are the products I used:
