I stamped several images from the Little Fairies Stamp Set in VersaFine Onyx Black onto Bristol paper. I then watercolored the images with Distress Inks. Once colored I die cut the images out with the matching dies. I then die cut a dome using the A2 Nested Domes Die Set out of craft foam and white cardstock. I then adhered the foam and cardstock domed frame together and then ink blended a background on the dome negative with distress inks (Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry, Mermaid Lagoon).
Next, I die cut grass using the Chunky Grass Die and then ink blended with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. Next, I trimmed the grass to fit inside the dome and then stamped the sentiment and then constructed the dome. Next, I filled the scene with the colored images. I then die cut an A2 panel of white cardstock with the Diamond Texture Die adhered it to an A2 top-folding card base. I then finished the card by adhering the dome and then adding sparkle with Stickles and iridescent sequins.
Isn’t this set just glorious!! I know I shouldn’t pick favorites but I think this is my most favorite set in this release! The flowers are so fun to color and the girls are so elegant and beautiful!
I created a video for this card so please check it out below or on my YouTube channel.
Copic Colored Peony Dreams
Of course could not stop at just one card with this dreamy set!
For my second card, I first stamped the images in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink onto Bristol paper. I then watercolored the images in using Tombow Dual Brush Pens. Next, die cut the images out with the matching dies.
I created the background with the Tile Panel Die and adhered it to the front of an A2 top-folding card base made from 110lb white cardstock. I then added the colored images with foam tape and completed the card with a few clear enamel dots from WFC’s Clean & Clear pack.
Next set is the adorable Be Her Combo Set illustrated by Big Bear and Bird. This is such a darling set! The four critters are so sweet and all the accessories are so fun to play with!
I decided these images were perfect for Valentines so I created 4 using the Love Notes Die as the base. I stamped and copic colored all the critters and several accessories.
I then die cut them with the matching dies and added to the front of the love notes. I then die cut hearts out of colored cardstock and stamped a sentiment onto the larger hearts using the Favorite Valentine Combo Set.
I then adhered the large heart inside the note and several of the smaller hearts to the inside and outside of the note. I finished the Valentines by adding Stickles to the tiny the hearts and some of the images.
Next up is the darling Little Fairies Combo illustrated by Kamo. This set is seriously just too cute!
For my first card I stamped several images from the Little Fairies Stamp Set in VersaFine Onyx Black onto Bristol paper. I then watercolored the images with Distress Inks. Once colored I die cut the images out with the matching dies. I then die cut a dome using the A2 Nested Domes Die Set out of craft foam and white cardstock. I then adhered the foam and cardstock domed frame together and then ink blended a background on the dome negative with distress inks (Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry, Mermaid Lagoon).
Next, I die cut grass using the Chunky Grass Die and then ink blended with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. Next, I trimmed the grass to fit inside the dome and then stamped the sentiment and then constructed the dome. Next, I filled the scene with the colored images. I then die cut an A2 panel of white cardstock with the Diamond Texture Die and adhered it to an A2 top-folding card base. I then finished the card by adhering the dome and then adding sparkle with Stickles and iridescent sequins.
For my second project I decided to create a shaker card!
Just like before I stamped and watercolored the images from the Little Fairies Stamp Set with Distress Inks. I then ink blended a background with a rainbow of WFC inks. I then die cut the panel with the largest die from the Stitched Layers Die Set. I then used the same die to create a matching frame out of craft foam. I then adhered the cardstock frame to an A2 panel of acetate and then adhered that to the foam frame.
Next, I adhered the negative ink blended panel onto an A2 top-folding card base and then constructed a scene inside with my colored images and then stamped the sentiment. Next, I added some iridescent bubbles to the scene and then poured some chunky flower glitter onto the scene. I then finished the card by adhering the top of the shaker down.
For my third card (yes THIRD) I decided to create a spinner card.
I started by stamping and coloring the images in same manner I did for the previous two cards. I did do some mirrored stamping to create the other side of the fairy which I will have a video on in the near future. Once the images were all colored I die cut them with the matching dies. I then stamped a background onto a yellow panel with a small flower from the set in WFC’s You Said What dye ink.
After I stamped the panel I die cut it with a circle die from the Nesting Circles 2 Die and the largest die from the Nesting Rectangles 1 Die. I then used the panel to align the same circle die onto the front of an A2 top-folding card case then ran it through my die cutting machine. I then taped my string to the card front, then glued the stamped panel onto. Lastly I finished the card by adhering my fairy to the string and the rest of the images and some crystals to the card front.
For this card I stamped the images in Antique Linen Distress Ink onto Bristol paper. I then watercolored the images in with Tombow Dual Brush Pens. Once I had finished coloring I die cut the images with the matching dies.
I then die cut a coral panel with the Diamond Texture Die then adhered it to an A2 top-folding card. I then stamped and white heat embossed a sentiment onto black cardstock and then die cut with the matching dies. I then finished the card by adhering the images and sentiment with foam tape and embellishing with clear sequins.
Next up is the beautiful and versatile Diamond Texture Die and the Label Greetings Combo. I’m such a sucker for any panel die! They are just so useful, they can pretty much can work for every occasion, and they are a great accompaniment to many different techniques! And this first group of cards is a good example of that.
First, I die cut three A2 panels of Bristol paper with the Diamond Texture Die. I then loosely colored the diamond sections of the panels with a variety of Tombow Dual Brush Pens. Once the panels were colored I then spritzed the panel with water to activate the ink to get it moving and flowing.
I also used a small brush to help move the ink to completely cover the panels or mix more. I then let the panels dry. Once dry I adhered the panels onto a top-folding card base and then added a white heat embossed sentiment created with the Greeting Labels Combo Set.
These first cards are very technique focused but the simplicity of this second card really shows off the beauty of this die.
For this card I simply die cut a panel of silver mirrored cardstock with the Diamond Texture Die.
I then white heat embossed a sentiment with the Label Greetings Combo and colored cardstock. I finished the card with a couple clear crystals.
For this card, I simply stamped the image and a sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black onto an A2 panel of white cardstock. I then copic colored the image.
Once colored I trimmed the panel down and then adhered it onto a black card base.
And that’s a wrap! Phew!

Hello friends!! I’m over at Simon Says Stamp today with a new card and video!
In today’s post I combine a simple technique, inlaid die cutting, with alcohol inks. I used Waffle Flower Crafts’ new Tile Panel Die and combined it with a very colorful alcohol inked background and I just love the results, plus it was so easy!!
I think this would be great to try with some of those alcohol ink background that you may have made and wasn’t not so crazy about. Inlaying the the background gives you an opportunity to really alter the look and allows you create lots of contrast.
Please head over to Simon Says to check out my video and to get all the details.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderful day!
There are so many incredible new stamps and dies in this release but that’s not all!!! Waffle Flower now has enamel dots! Three different sets in fact, a rainbow set called Up & Running, a very pretty sparkly set called Stardust, and my personal favorite the ever useful Clean & Clear Set!
And in addition to all that, Waffle Flower has changed die manufacturers and now all new dies come de-tabbed, with a magnet storage sheet, and 30% of the savings have been passed onto you.
Ok enough talk let’s get to the cards shall we!! 😉
This gorgeous die and stamp set were both designed by the brilliant JJ Bolton!
I made a video for this card so please check it out below or on my YouTube channel!
I couldn’t help myself and had to make a second card with this incredible die. I know this card is very similar to the first but for this one I used distressed inks minis (mustard seed, ripe persimmon, picked raspberry, shaded lilac, and chipped sapphire).
I applied them directly to the paper die cuts which created a slightly irregular and varied look. I also applied the ink to all the sunset pieces together instead of coloring the sections separatley. Once again I used the new Here for You Stamp Set for my sentiment but this time I just stamped it in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink onto the panel.
For this card I first created the background with just water and a paint brush!! I simply painted the stripes with water onto an A2 panel of watercolor paper and then poured on some embossing powder. Once the back ground was completed, I stamped several flowers and leaves from the Magnolia Stamp Set onto watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx black ink.
I then watercolored the images in with Tombow Dual Brush Pens and die cut them out with the matching dies. Next I adhered the panel onto my card base, added the flowers, leaves, and sentiment with foam tape. Lastly I added some of clear enamel dots from the Clean & Simple Set.
For this card I first stamped the image in Distress Ink Antique Linen onto Bristol paper. I then used Tombow Dual Brush Pens to watercolor the image in.
Next, I die cut the image out with the matching die. I then stamp and heat embossed a sentiment from the set in white embossing powder onto black cardstock and cut it out with the matching dies.
For my second card, I wanted to create an example of what you could do with this cute set if you didn’t want to color it.
First, I partially die cut the the front of an A2 card base made from Kraft cardstock.
I then stamped the image from the Group Hugs Stamp Set onto the card front in Distress Oxide Vintage Photo.
Next, I adhered 5 stripes of colored cardstock onto the inside of the card. I then finished the card with white heat embossed sentiments.
First, I stamped and white heat embossed the sentiment and the two main figures from the Favorite Valentine Stamp Set onto front of an A2 card base made from 110lb white cardstock. Next, I arranged several stamps in a MISTI around the embossed sentiment and images on the lower half of the card front and then stamped and white heat embossed.
Then I flipped the card and around and stamped and heat embossed again. Next I ink blended over the card front with Distress Oxides (Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Barn Door, and Wilted Violet). Lastly I finished the card with some enamel dots from the Up & Running Set.
For this card first I die cut the Tile Panel Die from white cardstock. Next, I topic colored the negative pieces with 8 rainbow colors. I then stamped the sentiment from the Magnolia Stamp Set onto the panel with Versafine Onyx Black.
Then I adhered the tile panel onto an A2 card base made from gray cardstock and then adhered the negative pieces back into the tile panel frame with liquid adhesive.
For this first card I stamped the image and the sentiment onto kraft cardstock.
Then I colored the image in with Prismacolor colored pencils. I also added white gel pen accents to highlight the design on the planter.
For this second card I created an Distress ink background by smooshing Distress ink minis directly onto the surface of an A2 panel of watercolor paper in a grid like pattern.
Once smooshed I sprayed the ink with water which activated the ink allowing the colors to mix and spread. Once dry I trimmed my panel down, stamped the image and sentiment, and then mounted onto my card base.

Though this release may not be as big as some in the past it’s still pretty fantastic and as the norm I have a video and a ton of cards to share with you all!!
First let’s take a look at the Cookie Love Combo! This adorable set was illustrated by the critter lovers favorite, Big Bear and Bird!
I used the Cookie Love Stamp Set to create this fun Peek-a-boo Flip card! I also have a video showing the how process.
I used the A2 Nested Domes Die to die cut 9 dimes. I then stamped on each with Halftone Background Stamp Set in a rainbow of Waffle Flower inks (Happy Go Lucky, Tickled Pink, My Pleasure, Oh Happy Day, You Said What, Chirp Chirp, New Fish In Pond, & Daydreaming).
I then arranged the domes into a spiral and then adhered them to a card front. I trimmed off the excess and then added a sentiment on craft foam created with the Good Luck Word Die.
Next up is the super sweet Thinking of You Stamp Set. This darling set was illustrated by the talented Flora Waycott. I love this image of the beautiful girl and her cute kitty.
For this card I first stamped a background using the Halftone Background Stamp Set in Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, and Mustard Seed Distress Inks.
I then stamped the girl image in with Memento Tuxedo Black and then slightly colored her in with gray copics. I finished the card with a heat embossed sentiment strip adhered with foam tape.
For my second card with this set, I first stamped the image in VersaFine Onyx Black onto Bristol paper and then watercolored the image in with Distress Inks.
I finished the card with by stamping a sentiment from the Thinking of You Stamp Set onto the card front.
For my last card with this set, I stamped the image in with Antique Linen Distress Ink onto Bristol paper. Once stamped I then watercolored the image in with Tombow Dual Brush Pens.
I finished the card off with the sentiment stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black.
The last stamp set from this release is the cute Lettuce Stamp Set. This fun set was illustrated by the brilliant Liz Mytinger! I made 3 cards with this adorable set!
For my first card I was greatly inspired by the classic 80’s movie Say Anything!
I copic colored the lettuce in with copics and stamped a boom box with the Gym Rat Stamp Set .
Once colored, I then added the images onto a teal card base stamped with the sentiment from the Lettuce Stamp Set.
For my next card, I stamped the lettuce twice in vet Onyx Black onto Bristol paper.
I then watercolored them images in with Tombow Dual Brush Pens.
I then stamped the sentiment and added the lettuces onto an A2 top-folding cardbase.
And last but not least is this cutie putie card. I stamped the background in Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide onto green cardstock. I then stamped and copic colored 2 lettuces.
I then stamped the sentiment then added the lettuces and a glittery heart.
Phew! And that’s all folks! 😉

First up is the fun Winter Wishes Stamp Set, illustrated by Kamo. I had so a blast playing with many different techniques with this set! I love the graphic look of the kids and how easy it was to align the stamp layers!
I created a video in which I use partial ink to ink each kid up in a different hue and create gradations to add more visual interest.
For this second card, I stamped the kids from the Winter Wishes Stamp Set and the dog from the Cool Dog Stamp Set in antique linen Distress Ink and did some no-line watercoloring with Holbein watercolors.
I also sketched out the rest of their bodies and watercoloring those sections as well.
To finish up the card, I stamped a sentiment from the Winter Wishes set in VersaFine Onyx Black and then stamped and watercolored some hearts from the Holiday Thanks Stamp Set.
For my last card with the Winter Wishes Set, I first stamped the kids in Distress Oxides; Lucky Clover, Twisted Citron, Abandoned Coral and Spun Sugar, diagonally on the top and bottom of an A2 card panel cut with the largest die from the A2 Nested Rectangles 1 Die Set.
After I stamped the kids, I stamped some stripes with the Plaid Play Stamp Set.
I then stamped and gold heat embossed a sentiment from the Winter Wishes Stamp Set onto a stripe coral cardstock and then adhered the stripe onto my panel.
Next up is the Holiday Thanks Stamp Set. I created 2 cards with this sweet set illustrated by Big Bear and Bird.
For my first card I stamped the main image and a sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink onto an A2 Panel made from Canson cold press watercolor paper.

This is such a wonderful release with new sets from Liz Mytinger, Kamo, Flora Waycott, and even one by my husband!! Not only that, there is also a new interactive die that’s amazingly versatile and will definitely give your cards a big wow factor! Once again I have ridiculous 😜 amount of cards to share with you all so let’s dive right in!!!
This die was specifically designed to create a pop-up Christmas Tree like you see in these first two cards but there is really so much more you can do with this cone shape, making this a super versatile pop-up die!!
Plus with a simple hack you can modify the Pull-Tab Tree Die to create a surprise pop-up on the inside of your card, that pops when you open the card!
Watch my video below to see how I how modified the Pull-Tab Tree Die set to create this pop-up candy corn card!
I stamped in the Pull-Tab tree die cut with the Plaid Play Stamp Set in an assortment of Distress Oxides (Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, & Spiced Marmalade) to create the rainbow stripes then assembled the Pull-Tab!
I also added a Pom-Pom to the tree star topper to complete the transformation! The sentiments and the cute kiddos are all from the new Yippee Stamp Set!
I have a full video on this card over at Simon Says Stamp’s Blog on October 8th.
I love love love how this card turned out!! I used glitter cardstock for the branches and added a bunch of sparkly gems to them!
It reminds me of those vintage ceramic light-up Christmas trees! I want one so bad and ideally it would look just like this!
Let’s move onto the next combo, the Yippee Combo Set! This super fun set is illustrated by the amazing Kamo! Her people images are the best and this set is full of darling kiddos!
I then stamped and watercolored a kid from the Yippee Stamp Set with Tombow Dual Brush Pens and added it to the “Hooray” in place of the missing “o”.
I finished the cards with a sentiment from the Yippee Stamp Set as well.
Next up is this fun spinner shaker card!
I used the Sun Shine Panel Die to create the shaker frame then cut a slot in it for my spinner using the Sentiments Die.
I copic colored girl from the Yippee Set for my spinner and also used the Yippee Stamp Set for my sentiment. Stay tuned to Waffle Flower’s Youtube channel for a thorough video on this card coming soon.
Next up is the Hello Pumpkin Combo Set illustrated by Liz Mytinger!! I absolutely adore this set!! The all mice are soooooo cute especially those pumpkins mice, I mean come on!!
I created two cards with this set and I will have a video next coming next week on these two cards so I’ll keep it brief.
But basically I watercolored all my images with Tombow Dual Brush Pens.
I also inked blended the backgrounds with Distress Oxides (Mowed Lawn, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon).
For this second card I also stamped on the tan front panel with the leaf and acorn images from the Hello Pumpkin Stamp Set in tan ink.
And I heat embossed a sentiment with copper embossing powder.
Let’s move onto the Sweater Weather Combo! This beautiful set is illustrated by Flora Waycott!! I just love her whimsical style!
I did some pattern stamping for this first card. I stamped the sweaters in blueprint sketch distress ink and then watercolored them with more Distress inks (Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed, & Worn Lipstick).
I completed the card with a white heat embossed sentiment in black cardstock.
For my second card I also stamped one of the sweater in Blueprint Sketch and watercolored it with Distress Inks. I also stamped a background on a coral panel with the sweater in WF’s My Pleasure Dye Ink.
I then added a stitched border to the panel with the Patched Layers Die. I then finished the card by stamping the sentiment in Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink.
Next up is the My Sunshine Stamp Set! And this set that was illustrated by my husband.
I kept this card pretty clean and simple and just stamped the image and the sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black and then colored it with Prismacolor colored pencils.
I had a lot of fun with this set and did some paper piecing!
I picked out some patterned paper in rainbow of colors. I then stamped the coffee cup onto each of the patterned papers, as well as onto kraft and white cardstock. Then fussy cut the cups from the patterned paper, the lids from the white cardstock and the coffee cozy’s from kraft cardstock.
I then assembled the coffee cups and added them and a white embossed sentiment to a A10 cardbase.
And that’s it! Phew!! I hope I didn’t lose anyone along the way! 😜
