Waffle Flower August Release Sneak Peeks Day 2

It's Day 2 of the sneak peeks of the latest Waffle Flower Release. We're calling this release Summer Afternoon because it includes a mix of style from fluttering butterflies to tropical blooms!
Today we're going tropical! My card features the new Hibiscus Cluster Die! You can color it yourself with your favorite media or use the coordinating Hibiscus Cluster Stencil set! My son gifts me a Hibiscus plant every Mother's Day and I think these are just as pretty and Bonus.. I can ink them any color I like!

That amazing background is new too! These are two separate and completely stackable A2 size dies. The pierced layer is the Quatrefoil Texture die and is topped here with the outline in white called Quatrefoil Panel die.

The sentiment is a mixed font "Sending Hugs" from the Butterfly Trio stamp set. I'm in awe at the clean cuts around the letters that are more detailed than I'm used to seeing.

I hope you'll stop by tomorrow when we'll have our third and final day of peeks before the release is available in the store.

Waffle Flower August Release Sneak Peeks Day 1

Thanks for stopping by! It's a great day for a visit because sneak peeks of the latest Waffle Flower release begin today. We're calling this release Summer Afternoon because it brings together a mix of styles from fluttering butterflies to tropical blooms!
My cards today started with the cute Mix n Match Butterflies die. It includes butterfly wings that you can mix and match to create your own unique butterflies. If you look close you'll see the textured lines and piercings on the layers I chose.

The sentiment is the new Vintage Label - it's available as a solid die like I used where your ink colors the majority of the design or as an outline stamp where you would ink the parts that look white on my design.

I inked the new Cloudy Skies stencil in the same colors as the butterflies to tie the design together. The cloud stencil has four different edges that you can turn and ink for each color without having to wash it in between the colors.
The finishing touch was a sprinkle of shiny enamel dots to add a little bling to the design.

I hope you'll visit tomorrow when we'll be sharing more peeks at the new release that will be available in the store on August 5.

Hello Sunshine!

Two fun facts about me.. first I love die cuts! If you took away everything else in my craft room and just left my dies and cutter I'd still be a happy gal! Second, I love playing challenges that I find on line. I think they're a great place to find inspiration and to get a sense of community in the crafty world. I love to see what people are making with and challenge myself to do something I might not try otherwise all at the same time.
If you love die cuts like I do then you're probably familiar with Memory Box. Did you know that they are the parent company of both Poppystamps and Birch Press Design? Today my card features dies from Poppystamps because I'm joining them for this month's challenge called Summer Daze.
This time they're looking for hot/warm summer colors, sunny skies, way to keep cool and /or have fun in the sun. I thought this scene card was just the ticket.
I cut waves of grass from green cardstock and added a sweet Nordic Happy Fox with some florals and butterflies in a sunny scene card.
I hope you will join me at the Poppystamps challenge and that you find some time to play today!
