Fusion Poppy Door

Hi friends! I hope you're having a great day! If you're looking for a new challenge you'll find another winner at Fusion Card Challenge . You'll love this challenge because there are three ways to play.. you can play along with the sketch, be inspired by the photo, or FUSE them together and play with BOTH!

This time I spy a big door with pretty poppies painted on it! What a big welcome home! I love florals so this one is easy for me. If you're not inspired by the inspiration photo you're welcome to play along with the sketch. And.... if you're feeling really clever you can FUSE them together.

When I think "flowers" I always think Altenew. They have the most beautiful, realistic flowers that are always eye candy. I think it's all the layers of colorful shades that bring the images to life.

If you love flowers too you'll want to check out their "Craft A Flower" series. They're absolutely beautiful. These are the Poppies. I chose reds in four shades, die cut and stacked.

The florals are layered on a white Cozy Flannel Cover with a soft grey cardstock panel underneath. I wanted the background in these shades to look like the white door on the inspiration.

Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see how you interpret the inspiration photo OR the sketch. Maybe you need a little more inspiration? Check out designs from the rest of the team. Just click on their names below to jump to their blogs.

Waffle Flower STAMPtember Exclusive Oversized Wishes

Have you been checking it out? Simon Says Stamp is celebrating STAMPtember! What? You've never heard of STAMPtember??!!

Most people call it SEPtember, but as crafters we know better it's STAMPtember! It's a celebration of everything crafty. In addition to great new products and give always we love that Simon Says Stamp collaborates with your favorite designers to create exclusive sets you can only find at Simon Says Stamp and only while supplies last.

Today they're introducing the Waffle Flower exclusive called Oversized Wishes. This is a fabulous sentiment set - and yes there is a coordinating die cut set.

Wishes got me thinking of magical things so some rainbows and unicorns seemed perfect. I started with a Distress Ink Rotating Rays background in soft shades. Next I topped it with the Rotating Sunburst in darker colors. And Finally to fill the open white spaces I applied the Rotating Rays again and inked in lighter colors. A splatter of ink and water soften things up a bit.

Next I stamped the Oversized Wishes sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black. Die Cut clouds from the Rustic Rainbow set are the perfect place to nestle a few Unicorns.

Click here to go shopping at Simon Says Stamp to see all of their STAMPtember exclusives including the Oversized Wishes from Waffle Flower!!   Have a great day!

Waffle Flower Crafts Hopeful Girl

It's Monday! I hope you had a good weekend! It's back to the working week! LOL! We need a break from the news headlines. Sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming and I need to remind myself to keep looking up and have faith.

Today I'm playing along at Try Stampin' on Tuesday where this time they're looking for Faith or Spiritual cards. If you're not loving the inspiration you can play along with the sketch.

My card today is made with the Waffle Flower Hopeful Girl stamp set.

I framed the die cut girl with a stitched oval and scalloped oval from the Lacy Ovals Nested Set.

The Hopeful Girl florals are colored with Copic markers and die cut. They're adhered with adhesive foam tape to add a little dimension to the design. Some enamel dots add a little blingy shine.

The background paper is also from Waffle Flower. The 5.5 x 8.5 paper is designed to be folded in half to create a card base. The paper is a good heavy weight and the simple dot and stripe prints are classic.

Hold on to hope. Take time to count your blessings and keep looking up.

Get Well Sunflowers!

Are you seeing yellow? This time of year all of the flowers are pretty much bloomed out in my little part of the world. The one color I do see is YELLOW! Pretty Sunflowers in lots of varieties are little pops of sunshine!

Today I'm playing along at Time Out Challenges where this time they're looking for FLOWERS!

I'm playing along with Waffle Flower Sunflowers. This is a multi stamp layered image, but I just stamped the outline and colored the flowers with Copic markers.

I added little dots to look like seeds in the flower centers and layered the die cut flowers over a Distress Oxide ink panel.

The pretty mixed font sentiment is from the Essential Sentiments set. I like that there is a coordinating die cut set that cuts the sentiments with lots of detail.

All of the florals are adhered flat to the background so this card is easy to mail. Who needs pattern paper when you can make pretty prints like this?

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
