Waffle Flower Crafts June 2023 Release Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends!! Welcome to the Waffle Flower June Release Blog Hop! I’m happy to be hopping with the folks from Waffle Flower to show you all the fun new stuff awaiting you on the Waffle Flower website! Be sure to check out each stop in today’s blog hop for fun, inspiration, and chances to win some of these new release goodies! 

My first card features the Retro Hugs Stamp Set and Retro Hugs Die Set.

To create this card I first die cut an A2 panel of white cardstock with the Arches Panel Die. I then ink blended the negative pieces with several Distress Inks. Next I adhered the panel to the front of an A2 top-folding white card base and then inlaid all the ink blended negative pieces.

Next I die cut a pair of the hugging people out of white cardstock with the Retro Hugs Dies. I then adhered a scrap of vellum behind their faces and then adhered them to my card front with foam adhesive. Next, I stamped and white heat-embossed a sentiment from the Retro Hugs Stamp Set onto vellum. I then fussy cut the sentiment out and then adhered it to the card front with foam adhesive.

I then die cut “hugs” out of white cardstock with the Retro Hugs Die Set. Next, I die cut a shadow layer for the “hugs” out of vellum and then adhered the two together. Lastly I finished the card by adhering the “hugs” to the card front with foam adhesive.

My next card features the super cool Stacking Box Die Set, Stacking Box Stencils and the Inside Pop-up Stacks Die Set.

To create this card die cut the stack of boxes out white cardstock with the Stacking Box Die Set. I then lightly ink-blended over the boxes with Twisted Citron Distress Ink. Next, I added the patterns to the boxes with the Stacking Boxes Stencils and more Twisted Citron. I then die cut box lids out of glitter cardstock and bows out of mirrored gold cardstock and then adhered them to the boxes.

Next, I trimmed down a sheet of pattern paper from the Half-Half Unicorn Lines paper pad to create a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 panel and then adhered it to the front of an A2 side-folding white card base. I then stamped and gold heat embossed sentiment from the Love Thanks Sentiments Stamp Set. Next, I die cut it out with the matching die and then adhered it and the boxes to the card front with foam adhesive.

I then created the pop-up boxes for the inside the card by first die-cutting a second white A2 side-folding card base with the base for the boxes with a die from the Inside Pop-up Stacks Die Set. I then die cut the boxes with the Inside Pop-up Stacks Die Set and then ink-blended over them with Twisted Citron and the Stacking Box Stencil. I then used the box dies from the Pop-up Stacks Die Set to die cut lids from glitter cardstock and then and them to the ink-blended boxes.

Next I adhered the boxes to the tabs on the card base and then finished the boxes with some more gold bows. Lastly I adhered the second card base to the inside of the first to finish the card.

My last card features the adorable Intertwined Bears Die Set and the Retro Hugs Stamp Set.

To create this card first die cut the bears out of colored cardstock and then ink blended their cheeks. Next I die cut their noses and ears out of dark brown and pink cardstock and then adhered them to the bears.

I then folded adhered the bears along their tabs to an A2 panel of white cardstock. Next, I trimmed down a sheet of patterned paper from the Half-Half Unicorn Dots paper pad and adhered it to the white panel to cover up the tabs from the bears.

I then stamped and white heat embossed a sentiment from the Retro Hugs Stamp Set onto the card. Lastly I finished up the card with some hearts and a flower die cut with some of the smaller dies from the Intertwined Bears Die Set.
