Technique: Rotating Panel Dies

November 13, 2019 by Channin ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

Hello crafty friends!! In today’s video I create two cards with the Herringbone Combo Set from Waffle Flower Crafts. In the video I will show you a few ways to stretch this and other full panel dies by flipping, stacking and even masking with them to get several different looks!! I also share some of my favorite partial inking tips for getting smooth gradations!

Technique: Rotating Panel Dies

Watch below or on my Youtube channel.

Once I had finished stamping the images die cut them out with the matching dies. Next, I then stamped a sentiment from the Herringbone Sentiment Stamp Set on the negative from the wreath.

I made a couple frames using the A2 Nesting Rectangles 1 Die Set and the A2 Layers Dies out of red and white cardstock. I then adhered the ink blended panel onto an A2 top-folding card base. Next, I adhered the frames. I then die cut 2 wreaths and adhered them to the stamped wreath to add dimension. Lastly, I finished the card by adhering the images to the card front with either liquid glue or foam tape.

I made this card very quickly by die cutting a white and green panel with the Herringbone Panel Die. I then stamped a sentiment from the Herringbone Sentiments Stamp Set onto the white panel.

I then adhered an A2 panel of red glittery cardstock onto an A2 top-folding card base. Next I adhered the green panel turns on its head or turned 180 degrees. I then finished the card by adhering the white panel.

And that’s it! 🙂 Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderful day!!

Waffle Flower Crafts November Tools and Storage Release

November 12, 2019November 11, 2019 by Channin ♥ 32 Comments

Hello friends!! Today we are celebrating a very special release over at Waffle Flower Crafts! Today Waffle Flower is releasing several new crafty tools and helpful storage products!! And to celebrate Waffle Flower is having a blog hop and giveaway!!

I got to work with the new Disc Bound Bundle which includes three new dies and several binding discs perfect for organizing your craft supplies in a plethora of ways!!

The Disc Bound Bundle includes,

Color Combos A2 Panel Die
A2 Disc Bound Die
A7 Disc Bound Die
Binding Discs (Red, Pink, Cream, Pool, Mint, Gray)

I decided to use these new products to create book to help me organize my copic blends!

To create this little book, I first die cut 16 pages using the largest die from the Color Combos A2 Panel Die set. I then die cut 8 tabs out of colored cardstock. I then folded each tab and glued it closed. Then I sandwiched each tab between two pages which I glued together. So in total I will have 8 pages in my book excluding the cover, but I can always add more pages as my copic blends grow. I then added each page onto 5 gray discs.

Next, I started to create my swatches. I first die cut several squares using the smaller plain square die from the Color Combos Die Set. I then positioned a list stamp from the Bullet List Stamp Set in my MISTI to stamp the lower half of each square.

I then stamped all my squares in Memento Tuxedo Black. Next, I positioned a leaf from the Bouquet Builder 1 Stamp Set in my MISTI and stamped the upper half of all my squares. Once my swatches were stamped I then colored the leaves with my copic combinations and labeled each swatch.

Next, I organized my swatches by color and then adhered them to the correct color page. I then decided to finish my book by adding a cover. I die cut my cover with the largest die from the A2 Disc Bound Die out of white cardstock. I then added my cover to the discs.

I then decided to dress up the cover more by adding a rainbow. I used the Rainbow Die and die cut a rainbow out of white, red, orange, yellow, green, and blue cardstock. I then inlaid 5 colored arches into the white rainbow frame. I then adhered my rainbow to my cover.

And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed!

Waffle Flower Crafts November Release

November 5, 2019November 5, 2019 by Channin ♥ 38 Comments

Hello friends!! It’s time for another Waffle Flower Crafts release!! Yay!! To celebrate there is an incredible blog hop and GIVEAWAY!! I have a bunch of cards to share so let’s let the fun begin!!

First up is the adorable Winter Hamsters Combo Set! This adorable set was illustrated by Liz Mytinger and is apart of the Whimsical bundle. I created two cards with these cute hamsters!

My first card is actually an interactive card! I will have a video for this card coming Wednesday, November 6th!!

My next Winter Hamsters card also using the incredible Cozy Cabin Die designed by JJ Bolton!

First, I stamped and copic colored several images from the Winter Hamsters Stamp Set. I then die cut the images out with the matching dies. I then die cut an A2 panel of white card stock with the Cozy Cabin Die. Next, I ink blended the tree with Luckly Clover and Pine Needles Distress Ink. I then copic colored the fire and star die cut. And I die cut scraps of Kraft and gray cardstock with the Cozy Cabin Die to make the wooden logs, the mantel, and the stone chimney.

I also added some score lines to the fireplace to make it look somewhat like brick. I then ink blended Tumbled Glass onto the front of an A2 card base and then stamped my sentiment. Next, I adhered a strip of off-white cardstock to the lower portion to the card front. I then adhered all the remaining Cozy Cabin die cuts to the card front including the frame which I popped up with a craft foam frame that I die cut with the same die. I then finished the card by adhering my copic colored images with either foam tape or liquid glue.

Next up is the gorgeous Herringbone Combo which is part of the Creative Bundle! This set is so fun and versatile! I have Christmas on the brain so I created a Christmas Card but this set could be used for so many different occasions.

I made this card very quickly by die cutting a white and green panel with the Herringbone Panel Die. I then stamped a sentiment from the Herringbone Sentiments Stamp Set onto the white panel.

Next, up is the darling Merry Wreath Combo Set illustrated by Cassie Loizeaux! I love this set!! The solid stamps in this set makes it so so easy to create the sweetest critter cards ever! This set is also apart of the Creative Bundle and I will actually have a video on this card and the Herringbone card above available Wednesday, November 13th.

First, I created the background for this card by ink blending over a contact paper mask that I created with the Herringbone Panel Die. I then stamped my images with combos of Distress Oxides and Distress Inks to create beautiful gradations. Once I had finished stamping the images die cut them out with the matching dies. Next, I then stamped a sentiment from the Herringbone Sentiment Stamp Set on the negative from the wreath.

Next, is the incredibly awesome Rainbow Thank You Die! This fantastic die was also designed by JJ and is apart of the Creative Bundle as well! I will have a video on these cards available Friday, November 15th.

I made a bunch of cards with this die. I was having so much fun playing with color. I used 5 different colored cardstocks and 1 white cardstock for the sentiment.

I die cut the sentiment with all my chosen cardstocks. I then cut a backing out of cardstock and craft foam.

I then applied adhesive to the fop the the cardstock backing and then inlaid my layers. Once finished, I adhered the inlaid sentiment to the craft foam.

I then cut 5 9/16″ strips from the colored cardstock, adhered them to the front of a A2 card base, and trimmed off the access. I then finished the card by adhering the sentiment to the card front.

Last is the very pretty Simply Said Stamp Set. This set is apart of the Floral bundle. I will also have a video for this card on Friday, November 22.

First, I stamped a frame from the set repeatedly on an A2 panel of watercolor paper in Versamark Ink and then heat embossed in white. I then watercolored the panel with Gansai Tambi watercolors.

I then stamped my sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black ink and then die cut it with the matching dies. I then die cut the sentiment 3 more times and adhered them together and then adhered the stamped sentiment on top. I then finished the card by trimming the panel, then adhering it and the sentiment onto the card front.

Thats it! I hope you enjoyed my cards! Thank you so much for stopping by!
