Waffle Flower September Release and Giveaway!

It's finally here! The Waffle Flower Crafts latest release is available in the store! We're calling this one Stenciled Stories because this release includes new book and postage dies that you stencil with cute images to tell your own story!

This one has lots of layers and a great mix of older and new products. The background is the Fancy Frames die in soft yellow. I topped that with a smaller cut panel of darker yellow paper that has the Rhombus Texture die pierced into it.

Next I added the great big Happy Birthday Script Die before embellishing it with the NEW Open Book Trio die cuts that were inked with the Open Book Trio stencil set. There are three different stencil sets available this release that are designed to work with the open books.

Those little bookmarks are new too! You can add sentiments to them, but I thought they looked cute tucked in among the books.

There is a new stamp set the fits on the book pages, but I used an older stamp set called Cupcake Topper Additions to show you that they work perfectly also.

And now the part you've been waiting for!

Waffle Flower September Release Sneak Peeks Day 2

It's Day TWO of the countdown to the release of the latest from Waffle Flower. We're calling this release Stenciled Stories because there are lots of stenciled images that create focal points for your projects in this release!

Today I'm sharing a sneak peek of the new Open Book Trio die set! These cute little book dies get inked with coordinating stencils or you can stamp them with your own stamp images. There's even little embossed pages that you can insert when you cut the die or remove.

I wanted a background that coordinated with the photos inside the books and imagined myself in a forest looking through a field guide so the older Woodgrain Die and Dainty Ferns seemed like a perfect fit.

The light green background adds even more texture with the Rhombus Texture Die that you can top with the Rhombus Panel die that has a detailed diamond cut if you like.

The Open Book Trio Sentiments Stamp Set make it easy to add a little script to your pages or a sweet greeting.

Waffle Flower September Release Sneak Peek Day One

It's a great day for a visit because today the sneak peeks of the latest Waffle Flower Crafts release begins. September 2-4 we'll be sharing peeks and the products become available in the store on September 5! We're calling this release Stenciled Stories because there are lots of images to create using just stencils!

My card today has lots of layers starting with the new Rhombus Panel background. There's also a Rhombus TEXTURE die that you can layer under that for even more detail. I topped that with an A2 Piercing Layer that I inked with a striped stencil design from the new Nesting Postage Blocks.

The new Nesting Postage Collage Die Set includes the big rectangle, circle and small rectangle postage stamp shapes.

They coordinate with stencil sets like the Nesting Postage Mush Love that I used or the new Let It Snow or Party Bear stencil sets. The stencil sets include images for each of the three postage stamp shapes.

Yes there are coordinating stamps that fit exactly inside that smaller rectangle called Nesting Postage Greetings.

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.

Time To Party!

Today I'm playing along at Seize The Birthday where this time you are to add a food or drink to your design. That should be easy peasy because birthdays are all about the CAKE! LOL!

My card starts with a stenciled background of colorful boxes - this is the Pretty Pink Posh Square Grid stencil. I used distress ink and blocked off the different boxes with sticky notes to keep each area clean!

Next I stamped, colored and die cut the little iconic birthday images and adhered the images in the boxes. I tried to color coordinate them so the background matches the colors on the box background.

A die cut Doily Border in white topped with a solid piece of hot pink cardstock are added along the top edge along with a bow to make the finished card look like a package. The sentiment is added on a Sentiment strip and attached to the bow with a gourd shaped pin that you can find on Amazon.

I hope your smiling and that you find some time to play today!

Have A Holly Jolly Christmas

Today I'm playing along at Jingle Belles challenge where this time it's Poinsettia Perfection! I love florals so count me in!

My card started with the die cut Poinsettia Frame from Waffle Flower. I cut all the pieces and then arranged them on a panel of clear plastic the size of my card base. This helps me determine the arrangement. As you can see, I cut the leaves from different shades before deciding on these particular greens. .

For the background I did a simple striped stencil in shades of pink to pick up on the berries on the frame.

The coordinating stamp set offers several sentiments that will fit perfectly inside the frame. My card is a little larger because I like to add matting to my designs. The dark outer layer makes taking photographs easier. White on white just disappears on my white photo background.

It's never too early to start those holiday cards! You'll be glad you did when December rolls around!
