Sweet As Can Be!

Today I'm playing at Just Add Ink where they want you to use a stencil, dies or both! This one goes out to my HONEYBEE!

My card starts with the Pretty Pink Posh Bee Additions stamp set. I stamped, colored and cut the images and then arranged them on a piece of plastic the size of my card base.

The clear piece of plastic makes it easy to slide different papers underneath to decide on what I think looks best.

For this one I selected a Checkered Pierced Plate that I inked with Sweet Honey Distress Ink. I gave it a good splatter with water, white ink and some diluted Spiced Marmalade.

I think this will make a great thank you for someone who is as sweet as can be!

Showered in Kindness

Hi Friends! Today I'm sending you some sunshine and rainbows to get your day started!

The Stitched Clouds are a new addition at Pretty Pink Posh. I'm always making scene cards so I'll be putting these to good use and OFTEN!

I layered the clouds over a Stacked Edges border background. I love the Stacked Edges because they fit together like puzzle pieces. I have several sets so I can cut lots of strips at one time and always save the extras for other projects.

I stamped a sentiment on a large cloud - it's from an older retired set called Thoughtful Greetings. It's raining stitched hearts from the XOXO border die cut set.

I'm linking up to C.R.A.F.T. Challenge blog where they're looking for designs featuring weather.

You're So Sweet

Today I'm playing at The Neglected Stuff Challenge. It's smart to get the most out of products you already own. The challenge this time is anything goes so no excuses for not playing!

This card started with rainbow Distress Ink blended panel in light shades. Next I added darker shades of the same colors using the Doodle Print stencil that is retired.

The Fruity Combo fruits were inked with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored with alcohol markers. They're adhered with adhesive foam tape to add some dimension.  The Fruity Combo stamp and die set is still available. 

The sentiment is from the Fruity Sentiments stamp set that is retired.

I hope you find some time to play along! Have a great day!

Waffle Flower October Release Sneak Peek Day 2!

Thanks for stopping by! We started sneak peeks of the latest Waffle Flower release yesterday! The new products will be available in the store on October 5. We're calling this release Sweet Gathering because we're celebrating the events that bring us together as family and friends.

My card today features the new Pumpkin Time Texture Die! It was easy to ink with the coordinating Pumpkin Time Coloring Stencil. Waffle Flower has everything you need to make stenciling easier including Grip Mats and detail brushes.

To add a little more detail, I cut the finished panel with an A2 Piercing Layers die.

My sentiment is the new Vertical Thanks die that I double cut from gold foil and shades of blue cardstock. I love the contrast of the orange and blue together - complimentary colors at their very best.

The finishing touch is always some bling! This time I added some colorful enamel dots.

Ready to see more makes with the new release? Head on over to Instagram and search #SweetGatheringWFC I hope you will stop by tomorrow when we'll have more peeks of the latest from Waffle Flower Crafts!
