Waffle Flower June Release Sneak Peek Day 2 - Nautical Note

It's Day 2 of sneak peeks of the latest Waffle Flower Release. We're calling this one Hello Sunshine because it's all about SUMMER!

My card today started with the new Two Step Mixed Stripe Stencil that I inked in bright beachy colors.

I used an older die, the Mistletoe Wreath to create a focal point for the Floral Anchor Die. I embellished the anchor with some "seaweed" - Layered Daisy Die foliage, and a cute little Happy Crab die cut. If you look close you'll see I added some silly eyes over the die cut eyes.

The sentiment is a great big Just A Note Word Die. It comes with a detailed letter die, and a shadow solid die so you can stack them or not - it's up to you!

The finishing touch is always a little bling! This time I added some candy dots. They're glossy enamel dots that are total eye candy!

I hope you'll stop by tomorrow when we'll have more sneak peeks of the new release. If you can't wait you can head on over to Instagram and search #HelloSunshineWFC and see more now!

Waffle Flower June Release Sneak Peek Day 1 - Lighthouse

It's a great day for a visit because today is the first day of sneak peeks of the latest Waffle Flower release that we're calling Hello Sunshine!

The Waffle Flower June 2025 Release is a coastal-themed collection featuring 4 stamps, 15 dies, and 4 stencils! Besides the adorable new Postage Collage stencil, other highlights include:

• Black versions of Grip Mats in the 3 most popular sizes
• Nesting piercing dies in Circles, Ovals, Squares, and Ticket Frames
• Pirate Add-ons (die, stamp) that work with the Inquisitive Seagulls (die)
• Two-step Mixed Stripes (stencil) that is a true 1+1 > 2 design
• Unique sentiments (stamp) for your coastal-themed cards

My card today features the new Coastline and Lighthouse die sets. The coastline die includes the big wave, solid dark blue cut as well as the highlighted wave accents that I double cut in shades of ocean blue.

The lighthouse die is easy to assemble because it includes an outline die that you adhere the smaller cut pieces to. It even includes the ray of light coming from the lighthouse. I added the nested hearts at the end of the light ray to pair with the "love" sentiment.

The sentiment is from the new Coastal Greetings sentiment set. It has lots of wonderful sentiments and the coordinating die set adds a pierced detail to the outline of the cut.

I hope you'll stop by tomorrow when we'll be sharing more peeks. The release is available in the store on the 5th of the month. If you can't wait to see more, just head on over to Instagram and search #HelloSunshineWFC

Love Is When We're Together

Have you seen the newest paper collection from Pretty Little Studio? It's called Love is Kind! You'll find lots of beautiful in this collection with fun prints, bold colors and messages of love.

I'm smitten with the new papers that have a mixed media look. They take all the guess work out of mixing and matching prints because it's already been done for you.

There's lots of embellishments too! For this card I stacked a 3x4 journaling card that had a preprinted sentiment, with a frame and then added die cut clouds with adhesive foam tape. I wanted them to rain hearts and shower love on the recipient.

A tab and mini sticker sentiment are added to the top of the journaling card, and to add a little more interest I tucked a die cut scallop border along the left edge.

Everything comes together beautifully because it's all color coordinated to match. The hardest part is deciding what to make first!
