No-Line Coloring Bouquet Builder 3

Hello friends!! Today we are doing some no-line coloring with the gorgeous Bouquet Builder 3 set!

Watch below or on my YouTube channel.

First, I stamped the large bouquet from the Bouquet Builder 3 Stamp set in Antique Linen Distress Ink onto an A2 panel of Bristol paper. I then watercolored the bouquet in with Tombow Dual Brush Pens. Once I had finished coloring the image I dry embossed around it with the matching die.

Next, I trimmed my panel down 1/8″ on all sides then adhered it to an A2 top-folding card base. I then stamped and white heat embossed a sentiment from the Bouquet Builder 3 Stamp set onto black cardstock. Next, I trimmed my sentiment and then added it to my card front. Lastly, I finished my card by adhering some beautiful crystals around the bouquet with Nuvo Crystal Drops.

I hope you enjoyed! Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Glazing and Wave Texture Die

Hello friends! I hope you are all having a lovely Saturday!! Today’s video involves one of my favorite watercoloring techniques, glazing!

Watch below or on my YouTube channel.

First, I die cut two A2 panels of watercolor paper with the Wave Texture Die. I then used Taylored Expressions Liquid Watercolor to paint stripes of color following along some of the stitched lines created by the Wave Textured Die.

To get the beautiful layered look, I made sure to allow each painted stripe to dry completely before I overlapped it with a new color.

Once my backgrounds were finished I stamped and copic colored images from the Cheers and Be Her stamp sets then die cut them out with the matching dies.

For the unicorn card I created a cloud using the Scenery Die and then stamped a sentiment from the Rainbows Stamp set on both cards.

I finished the cards by adhering the panels onto two A2 card bases and adding the critters and cloud with foam tape.

And thats it! I hope you enjoyed today’s cards and video! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Be Him Repeat Stamping Backgrounds

Hello friends! In today’s video I create a patterned background by repeatedly stamping some of the accessories from the Be Him Combo Set.

Watch below or on my YouTube channel.

I think this is a great way to use those smaller stamps that come in your sets! You are basically creating your own custom patterned paper that perfectly matches your stamped images.

First, I hand stamped the background with either the mustache or bow tie stamp from the Be Him Stamp Set in Simon Says Intense Black Ink, a copic marker safe ink, on either teal or coral A2 panels. I then copic colored the bow tie in a tone-on-tone fashion. Next, I added a stitched border to the panels with the A2 Nesting Rectangles 1 Die set.

I then stamped the rabbit and the panda and of their several accessories in SSS Intense Black onto white cardstock and then copic colored the images in. I also stamped the glasses from the Be Him set in Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide and sentiments from the Yippee Stamp Set onto white cardstock. I then die cut all the images out with the matching dies.

Lastly I assembled my cards by adhering the panels onto 2 A2 top-folding card bases. Then adhering the critters, sentiments, and top hat with foam tape and the rest of the accessories with Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Adhesive. I finished the panda by adhering a couple of googly eyes onto his glasses.

I hope you enjoyed today’s cards and video! Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Layered Rainbow Diecuts

Hello friends! I have a new video! Today I create a fun rainbow by layering circle die cuts  cut with Waffle Flower’s Nesting Circles 1 Die out of an array of colored cardstocks.

Watch below or on my YouTube channel.

Today’s technique is a great way to make use of some of those paper scraps that we just can’t seem to throw away!

The best part is, this technique is super versatile. I arranged my layered circles in a heart and in a line, but you could easily arrange these die cuts in numerous other ways. In fact, I’d like to make another card in which I make sort of a “check” shape with the circles.

You can also try different dies! Possibly squares, hearts, or stars and they don’t even have to come from a nesting set, because you only need one! Can you tell I want to play with this some more! 🙂

I hope you enjoyed! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Panels Made From Stamped Diecuts

Hello Friends! In today’s video I demonstrate a technique that is one of my absolute favorite ways to stretch your floral stamps and dies!

Stamped Diecuts Panels

Watch below or on my YouTube channel.

I used it before to create lacy trifold cards with Waffle Flower’s Pretty Wings Stamp Set, you can check that video out here.

Today I change it up a little and create custom openings in my stamped diecut panels for my sentiment.

I love that the openings could be whatever shape you want! I chose a simple circle and a heart but I think a diamond or an oval would be beautiful too!

You can even create an opening for a critter or a person, really the possibilities are endless!!

I hope you enjoyed and thanks so much for stopping by!

Waffle Flower Crafts March Release

Hello all! It’s time for Waffle Flower Crafts March release and blog hop! Yay!!

I have several projects that I’m so excited to share so let’s get started!

Let’s start with one of my favorites the Bouquet Builder 3 Combo Set, illustrated by Karla Jodoin!

For this gorgeous set I decided to do some no-line coloring with Tombow Dual Brush Pens.

I first stamped the bouquet in Antique Linen Distress Ink onto Bristol paperand then watercolored the image in with Tombow Dual Brush Pens. Once I was finished coloring the bouquet I then dry embossed it with matching die.

To completed the card, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on black cardstock and then trimmed down to two strips. I then adhered the stripes with foam tape and added crystal accents.

Next up is the Be Him Combo Set illustrated by Big Bear & Bird. I loved the previously released Be Her Set and this fun set is just as cute but perfect for creating more masculine cards.

For these cards, I first repeatedly stamped a background using one of the accessories from the Be Him Stamp Set in black onto an A2 panel of colored cardstock. I colored the bows on the coral panel with a coral copic marker.

After I finished the backgrounds I die cut the panels with the largest die from the A2 Nesting Rectangles 1 Die Set. I then stamped and copic colored the rabbit, the panda, and several accessories. Once colored I then die cut them out with the matching dies.

I did however stamp the glasses in Distress Oxide Abandoned Coral then die cut it out as well. I also stamped two banners and sentiments inside from the Yippee Combo Set, then die cut them out with the matching dies. I finished the cards by adhering the panels to two A2 top-folding card bases, then adhering the critters and sentiments with foam tape, then the accessories with glue and lastly I added googly eyes to the panda.

Next up is the is gorgeous XOXO Combo Set. I love this set, the beautiful solid flowers and leaves are perfect for so many techniques!

For today’s cards I decided to play with a technique that I used once before with the Beautiful Wings Stamp to create a DIY panel die with your stamped diecuts, you can check out that video here.

I love creating these panels, I think they are so lacy and pretty and it is such a great way to stretch your stamps and dies.

I will have a process video on these cards up tomorrow so be sure to stop by to check it out. 🙂

Next up is the adorable Animal Tags Combo Set. This brilliant set was designed by JJ Bolton and I think these cute tags could be used for so many things (lunch notes, book marks, valentines, etc).

I just got a new pack of rainbow pastel cardstock and I just couldn’t resist using it with these adorable tags.

First, I die cut the tags out of colored cardstock. I then stamped the faces with black ink for the frogs and bears. For the pandas, I stamped their faces on a different sheet of colored cardstock and then die cut around the face with the oval die that comes with the Animal Tags Die Set.

I then used the same oval die and die cut tummies for all my tags our of complimentary colored cardstock. Next, I die cut cheeks using various dies that cut tiny circles like the Mini Location Indicator Die, the Creative Bits Die Set, or the Floss Bobbins Die.

I then assembled the tag and then adhered the faces, tummies, and cheeks. Lastly, I added white gel pen accents and used a permanent marker to add eye lashes to some of the critters.

And last but not least is the pretty Lilac Dreams Combo, illustrated by Oana Befort.

Of course I had to try my hand at no line coloring with this beautiful image. Like before, I first stamped the image in Antique Linen Distress Ink onto Bristol paper. I then watercolored the image in with my Tombow Dual Brush Pens. Once I had finished painting I die cut the image out with the matching die. I then die cut a maroon panel a couple of time with the new Stitched Rose Die to create a background.

I also stamped and white heat embossed a sentiment from the Here For You Stamp Set and then trimmed it down to a strip. I finished the card by adhering the background panel onto an A2 top-folding card base, then adhered the girl with foam tape and the sentiment with liquid glue.

For my last set of cards, I did some paper piecing but with a slightly different spin. I stamped the image several times onto different colored cardstock in tone-on-tone inks.

I then fussy cut out different sections of the image from the different cardstocks. Once I had finished cutting I adhered all the layers together. And if this sounds confusing, don’t worry! I will have a video demonstrating the whole process soon. 🙂

After I glued the layers I then added the slight impression of a mouth and an eye with copic markers. Once the faces were done, I created backgrounds using the new Wave Textured Die and then added a border with the Stitched Layers Die with added craft foam for dimension. For these cards I also used the Here For You Stamp Set to create my sentiments and adhered them and the girls with foam tape onto the card.

Little Fairies Terrarium Card

Hello friends! I have a new card video to share!

Watch below or on my Youtube channel.

 

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.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
