Waffle Flower Crafts October Release Blog Hop and Giveaway

October 15, 2021October 15, 2021 by Channin ♥ 13 Comments

Hello crafty friends!! It’s time for a new Waffle Flower Crafts release!! This release got pushed back a bit but only to bring you all the awesomeness that was planned! And with all the innovative and beautiful products I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

I have several cards to share so lets dive right in!!

My first card features the Oversized Hey Hi Hello Print Dies, Butterfly Circle Die, and the Shaker Cover.

To create this card I first die cut several butterflies out of white glitter cardstock using a die from the Butterfly Circle Die set. I then trimmed down a sheet of pattern paper from JJ’s Rainbow paper pad to create an A2 panel. Next, I removed the backing on three of the tabs of the Shaker Cover and adhered them to the panel. Through the remaining open side I fed in my glittery butterflies as well as some tiny flower confetti. I then removed the last backing on the final tab of the Shaker Cover and sealed the full panel shaker shut. I then adhered the shaker panel to the front of an A2 top-folding white card base.

Next, I die cut the Butterfly Circle Die out of white cardstock and the adhered the die cut to the card front. I then die cut “hi” using a die from the Oversized Hey Hi Hello Die set out of glittery white cardstock. I then die cut a shadow layer out of vellum and then adhered the two together.

I then adhered the “hi” to the card front. Next, I stamped a sub-sentiment from the Oversized Hello Stamp Set in Antique Linen Distress Oxide onto white cardstock and then heat embossed with glitter embossing powder. I then finished the card by trimming the sub sentiment down to a strip and then adhering it to the card front.

My next card also features the Oversized Hey Hi Hello Die set as well as the sweet Twine & Bows Die set.

To create this card I first die cut several different scraps of colored cardstock with the Twine & Bows Die set. I then adhered the die cuts to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ panel of white cardstock. Next, I adhered the panel to the front of an A2 top-folding white card base.

I then die cut “hey” out of white cardstock using the Oversized Hey Hi Hello Die set. Next, I die cut a shadow layer out of vellum and then adhered the two together. I then adhered the “hey” to my card front with foam adhesive.

I then stamped and white heat embossed as sub-sentiment from the Oversized Hello Stamp Set onto gray cardstock. I then trimmed the sentiment down to a strip and finished the card by adhering the sentiment strip to the card front with foam adhesive.

My last card features the beautiful Save the Date Heart Die.

To create this card I first die cut the heart, sentiment and several flowers out of white cardstock. I then die cut more flowers out of orange pattern paper from the Half-Half Dots – Botantical Paper Pad.

I then trimmed down light pink cardstock to create a panel slightly smaller than and A2 panel. I then adhered the panels down onto an A2 top-folding white card base. Next, I adhered the die cuts to my card front with liquid adhesive.

Lastly, I finished my card by adding enamel dots to the centers of all my flowers.

Concord and 9th: Friday Feature

September 17, 2021September 16, 2021 by Channin ♥ 1 Comment

Hello crafty friends!! Today I have a couple of cards to share featuring the new Poinsettia Fill-In and the O Holy Night bundles from Concord and 9th’s holiday release!

My first card features gorgeous the Poinsettia Fill-In bundle!

To create this card I first stamped and gold heat-embossed the background onto a 6″ x 6″ panel of white cardstock. I then stamped the poinsettias and leaves in several Concord and 9th inks.

Poinsettias: Poppy + Cranberry

Large Leaves (around poinsettias): Sea Glass + Clover

Small Leaves: Clover + Evergreen

Centers: Stardust

Berries: Grapefruit

I used ink combos and gradient stamping to add depth to the flowers and leaves. When I finished stamping the background I then stamped some additional flowers onto a separate panel and fussy cut them out instead of diecutting them with the matching die because I wanted them to be a single layer. I then trimmed my background panel to 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and adhered the panel onto the front of an A2 top-folding white card base.

Next, I die cut four “season’s greetings” out of white cardstock. I then adhered two “season’s greetings” together and then adhered the other two together, so I had two pairs of stacked sentiments. Next, I die cut the shadow layer out of vellum. I then adhered the vellum diecut between the two stacked “season’s greetings” to create my dimension sentiment. Lastly, I finished the card by adhering my sentiment and one my flowers to my card front with liquid adhesive and then adhering my last flower with foam adhesive.

My next card features the beautiful O Holy Night bundle.

To create this card I first stamped and gold heat embossed the sentiment as well as the star, barn, and foliage onto a panel of white cardstock. I then ink blended over the panel with several distress oxides (Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch & Chipped Sapphire).

After I ink blended the background I then added water spots. Next, I stamped the sentiment and the additional images again but this time a little off-set and in black to create a shadow.

I then trimmed the panel down 1/16″ on all sides and lastly finished the card by adhering the panel to an A2 top-folding white card base with foam adhesive.

And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed my cards! Be sure to check out the other Feature Friday designers and their amazing creations over at Concord and 9th’s blog.

Next, I stamped and white heat-embossed a sentiment. I then trimmed the sentiment down to a strip and then die cut a rounded rectangle out of white cardstock using the Thank You for Being You Label Dies. I then adhere the image and sentiment to the rectangle and then finished the card by adhering the rectangle to the card front.

My next card features the Mix & Match Holiday Sentiments stamp set and matching dies.

To create this card I first stamped the Mix & Match Holiday Sentiments stamp in black onto white cardstock. I then die cut all the sentiments out using the matching die. Next, I copic (R20, R27, G12 and G17) colored the letters of some of the sentiments.
