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 Peek Day 3

Thanks for stopping by! It's Day 3 of sneak peeks of the newest Waffle Flower Crafts September Release! All the latest will be in the store tomorrow! We're calling this release Stenciled Stories because there are lots of images to create using just stencils!

Today we're focusing on the new Book Lover Stencil Set! It coordinates with the Round Bookmark Die that you might already have! I stamped the images first with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and then stenciled the images with Distress Ink.

The images are very forgiving if you don't line things up perfectly. I added lots of colors with the detail brushes and used sticky notes to cover areas I didn't want exposed.

I found a big pack of 100 tassels on Amazon for around $10 and they included a rainbow of colors so I'm set for future projects.

I like to double cut the tags - adding a solid cardstock bookmark layered behind the detailed one. I think this adds stability to the bendable cardstock and adds more color.

I'm not an expert at stenciling and got these right on my first try. Waffle Flower tools have been a real game changer for me - especially the Grip Mat to hold my paper in place, and the assortment of detail brushes they offer.

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 and Giveaway!

Sweet Summer! The latest Waffle Flower Release is available today! To celebrate we're having lots of giveaways on Instagram! We're calling this release Summer Afternoon because it brings together a mix of styles from fluttering butterflies to tropical blooms.

  

I chose this card for release day because I think it captures so many good things from this release including new Ink Swatch Labels and Nesting Piercing Tags. I didn't think it would be too exciting to post a bunch of tags, but maybe on a card?

This gives you a good idea of how you can create your own swatch tags, and some of the different die configurations for your tags. You can make tags that include your favorite color blends, an inventory of your cardstock stash. inks, watercolors and other media.

I added Mix-n-Match Butterflies because I think these are really innovative. You can make loads of different butterflies by just switching the wings and their orientation.

A little hibiscus was added as a nod to the tropical aspect of this release, and finally a "Paper Hugs" sentiment from a previous release. And don't forget some candy dots! They make everything better!

And now the part you've been waiting for!

Waffle Flower August Release Day 3 Sneak Peeks

It's Day 3 of the sneak peeks of the latest Waffle Flower Release. We're calling this release Summer Afternoon because it includes a mix of style from fluttering butterflies to tropical blooms!

My cards always start the same way.. I arrange the different elements on a panel of clear plastic the size of my card base. This helps me get a preview of my card before I adhere everything in place.

I cut the Hibiscus branch three times, each has a different shade of green leaves to add some depth to the design. Next I cut lots of little Hibiscus flowers in citrus shades. The three layer flowers are easy to assemble and come in two sizes.

I added a "hello" Script Greeting and added a Subsentiment from the Aloha set.

The background is the new Quatrefoil panel - it's that white outline die layered over a plain sky blue cardstock panel.

Waffle Flower August Release Sneak Peeks Day 2

It's Day 2 of the sneak peeks of the latest Waffle Flower Release. We're calling this release Summer Afternoon because it includes a mix of style from fluttering butterflies to tropical blooms!

Today we're going tropical! My card features the new Hibiscus Cluster Die! You can color it yourself with your favorite media or use the coordinating Hibiscus Cluster Stencil set! My son gifts me a Hibiscus plant every Mother's Day and I think these are just as pretty and Bonus.. I can ink them any color I like!

That amazing background is new too! These are two separate and completely stackable A2 size dies. The pierced layer is the Quatrefoil Texture die and is topped here with the outline in white called Quatrefoil Panel die.

The sentiment is a mixed font "Sending Hugs" from the Butterfly Trio stamp set. I'm in awe at the clean cuts around the letters that are more detailed than I'm used to seeing.
