Waffle Flower August Release

The newest goodies from Waffle Flower are available to order today. The August release is called Summer Afternoon -->click here to check it out! I'm sharing several cards today showcasing some of my favorite products from this delightful release. 

The first two cards showcase some whimsical butterflies that I've created with the new Mix-n-match Butterflies die. This fun die allows you to create many different variations of butterflies. 

When assembled, the butterflies measure 1.75 inches across by 1.5 inches tall so you can fit multiple on an A2 size card. Below are links to the new Waffle Flower supplies I've used for the butterfly cards:

• Mix-n-match Butterflies die
• Cloudy Skies Stencil
• Hibiscus Branch die
• Aloha Subsentiments diecut
• Vintage Label Bundle

There's a new Postage Collage Stencil with this month's release and it's fabulous! I have used it to create the floral postage on the card below. Click here to see the Postage Collage Tropical Flowers Stencil!

For this next card, I have the used the Hibiscus Branch die to create a unique frame for a cute little bird.  The bird die is also new this month and has a coordinating stencil to make coloring the bird quick & easy! Check out the Birdie Duo Die-n-stencil.

My final card features some beautiful Hibiscus flowers created with the Hibiscus Cluster Die-n-stencil. This new die and stencil combo make a large cluster of florals that fill an A2 card perfectly.  The new Hummingbirds die pairs well with these too!

Waffle Flower Christmas in July Release

 It's Christmas in July at Waffle Flower! The Magical Christmas Release is available now! 

-->click here to check out the release<--

I have four cards to share created with some of my favorite products from the release. This first card features how I've used the super fun Elf Hat dies & Elf-tastic Sentiments stamps with the Diagonal Lines Stencil for the background. 

The elf hat set includes dies to create the hat, fringe, and a jingle bell or pom-pom. The hat is large and fills an A2 size card nicely. To make the elf face, I simply added the hat at an angle to my background panel and covered the bottom left corner with some flesh toned card stock. I used the little circle die in the set to create a nose for the elf. I then added the google eyes(10mm) and rosy cheeks to complete the face. 

The next two cards show different ways to use the new Poinsettia Frame die and Poinsettia Frame coloring stencil. You can use the die to create a full frame on an A2 size card, or you can cut apart the frame pieces and create little floral clusters. The coordinating coloring stencil makes it very easy to color the flowers, foliage, and berries.  

For the card above, I’ve used the frame as intended and then added the cute little bird and branch from Birdie Friends in Winter die set. The holiday cheer sentiment comes from a new stamp set called Warm Wishes. 

For the card below, I have cut the frame piece apart and used potions of it to decorate the corners of my oversized postage panel. I have also layered up the flowers to make them look fuller. 

My last card features another new addition to the ever popular Postage Collage Stencil collection. This new one is called Dear Santa and it makes a cute scene spread over the A2 size Postage Collage die cut panel. The coordinating Dear Santa stamp set has options to customize the letter to Santa. Also in the stamp set is the 24 cents stamp and glasses image to add to Santa.
