You're A Sweetheart!

Today I'm playing at Festive Friday where this is the challenge board this time!

You need to choose three of the above items. I'm going with Red, Hearts, and Love Sentiment.
My card features Pretty Pink Posh Valentine Icons! This is a stamp set of 12 great little images that you color up and arrange however you like. The coordinating die set includes some circle shapes for mounting but I left them off this time. You can see the doily circle from the set in the photo above.

I arranged the images in a circle around a die cut Eyelet Circle shape. Inside the circle are stacked Stitched Hearts and a pretty bow from the Valentine Cake Pops die set.
That fun pierced background is made with the XOXO Pierced Plate. The finishing touch is a sprinkle of flat back shimmery pearls to add some color and shine!
I hope you have a great weekend and some time to make!

I Love You Daisies!

Hi friends! I hope you're doing well! Today I'm sharing a card made with the Pretty Little Studio You Are My Sunshine Collection. This collection is pure sunshine on paper!
I can't resist all the gorgeous blooms that you'll find in this collection. There are some so realistic that all you'll be missing is their scent! These whimsical daisies are scattered through out the collection. I gathered them all together - and yes I did purchase two of the Fresh Cut Bloom Stems - for my card!

I adhered them to the card with adhesive foam tape to add some dimension to the design. I think it looks like a field of meadow blooms!
The I love you sentiment makes this perfect for Valentines or for ANY day! Who doeesn't want to know their loved? And how many times have you plucked their petals wishing "he loves me, he loves me not, HE LOVES ME"!
I hope you're smiling and that you have a great day!

Waffle Flower February Release Day!

Awesome news! It's release day at Waffle Flower! That means all the sneak peeks you've been seeing for the last few days are now officially in the store and available for purchase! To celebrate you'll find lots more samples as well as some giveaways on Instagram!
This release is called Butterfly Blossom because we've got lots of beautiful blooms and butterflies too!
My card starts with the new Flower Focal Die that I cut from bright shades of cardstock. I love that the flower is three separate stackable pieces so I can add even more color to my design. It even comes with two different leaves for your arrangement.
That fabulous sentiment is from the Paper Hug Stamp Set. It's got lots of great mixed font sentiments.
The background die is called Mod Blossom. It has a coordinating stencil, but I left the cut plain white cardstock and layered it over a piece of yellow glitter paper. This one is swoon worthy in person!

Release Special:
To celebrate the release, orders $50+ placed from 1/5 to 1/7 will include an Overlapping Hello Friend Die-N-Stencil set. Use Gift Code G2502 During Checkout.

Waffle Flower February Release Sneak Peeks Day 3

Thanks for stopping by! It's the last day of a 3-day preview of the latest Waffle Flower release. This month is called Butterfly Blossom! You guessed it! We're going to have lots colorful blooms and winged friends! Today's focus is on Whimsical Wings! The release officially hits the store tomorrow when we will be celebrating with prizes on Instagram!
My card today features the new Crocus Flutter Die and coordinating stencil set. I inked up the panel in shades of Distress Ink. I used sticky notes to block off areas to add different colors.
I cut the finished panel with the large stitched die from A2 Lacy Layers. The Crocus Flutter Die does not cut out the A2 panel size, it just cuts the images .
I topped the pretty panel with an Overlapping Hugs Die N Stencil. I love that you can ink the colors in any shade you like so that it coordinates with your design!
The Overlapping Hugs Additions stamp set lets you add a topper to the big sentiment.
I hope you'll stop by tomorrow when we'll be sharing more sneak peeks of the new release. To see more on line just head on over to Instagram and search #ButterflyBlossomWFC.

Waffle Flower February Release Sneak Peeks Day 2

Thanks for stopping by! It's day 2 of a 3-day preview of the latest Waffle Flower release. This month is called Butterfly Blossom! You guessed it! We're going to have lots colorful blooms and winged friends! Today's focus is on Whimsical Wings!
My card features the new Mod Blossom die that I inked with Distress Ink in shades of blue and green. I die cut it and layered it over a piece of yellow glitter paper that I wish you could see in person.
The background is topped with an Inside/Outside Scalloped Circle used to create a focal point.
The new Butterfly Focal is a great big butterfly die that you can ink in any color of your imagination using the coordinating stencil set. I tried to create a Monarch.

The sentiment is from the new Paper Hug stamp set with coordinating dies.
I hope you'll stop by tomorrow when we'll be sharing more sneak peeks of the new release. To see more on line just head on over to Instagram and search #ButterflyBlossomWFC.

Waffle Flower February Release Sneak Peeks Day 1

Hi Friends! It's a great day for a visit because today is the start of a 3-day preview of the latest Waffle Flower release. This month is called Butterfly Blossom! You guessed it! We're going to have lots colorful blooms and winged friends!

If you love the Postage Collage series then you'll NEED this latest addition called Postage Collage Butterfly! I masked off each stamp using sticky notes to allow me to color each butterfly a different shade.

New sentiments compliment the butterflies beautifully! Overlapping Hugs Additions loopy script font mimics the swoopy flight of a butterfly and pairs beautifully with the stenciled Overlapping Paper Hugs die n stencil sentiment.

To repeat all that color on the butterfly wings I created a background of rainbow skinny strips. Colorful Candy Dots embellish the butterfly wings too!

Are you ready to see more? Just head on over to Instagram and search #ButterflyBlossomWFC and you'll find other loaded designs from this release! I hope you'll stop by tomorrow when we'll have more peeks at this great new release!
