Hello everyone!! I have a LONG blog post with several cards today - it's new release time for Waffle Flower, plus I wanted to create more Christmas cards!! This post is part of a blog hop so if you didn't get here from the Waffle Flower blog you can start HERE and then I'll have links to all the other stops below!
There's also a GIVEAWAY with this post!! Info on that is at the end of this post!
So here are the newest stamps and dies from the Waffle Flower November release:
SO. MUCH. FUN!!
I made 2 different cards using the new Holiday Thanks stamp set:
My first card I stamped the image onto Distress watercolor card stock with Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear heat embossed it. I then watercolored it in with Prima Classics watercolors, and once dry I die cut it with the coordinating wafer dies.
I blended Festive Berries and Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink onto the card base, and once it was dry I white heat embossed a sentiment from the set onto the card base.
I adhered the scene to the card with Simon's Craft Tacky glue, and then added all the extra little images to finish off my scene.
For the second card I used a red card stock for my card base and heat embossed the image and sentiment with gold embossing powder. Honestly it could have been left at that but I wanted to add some more depth so I sponged on Candied Apple, Aged Mahogany and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks onto the card base as well.
I then added some Wink of Stella to different areas of the images to give them a TON of sparkle.
For both cards I stamped the insides with the same image to finish them off.
Once I got creating I couldn't stop LOL! These stamps and dies are from last month's release - links to all the products are down below!
I used the Pull Tab Tree wafer die to create my Christmas tree - and it literally pops up when you pull on the tab!! I then added all these cute kids from the Yippee stamp set and the Santa hats are from the Holiday Thanks set that I used above!
On the inside of the card I stamped images from the Christmas Tree stamp set using the same Oxide inks that I sponged on the front of the card.
For the second card I used the Pull Tab Tree dies again along with the Pull Tab Pop Up wafer dies - this came together SO quick and easy. I die cut all the "boughs" from green glitter card stock, and then attached them all to the tree "base".
I kept this card really clean and simple - but adding some gems/crystals as "ornaments" could really jazz it up if you wanted to!
Last but not least is a "bonus" card - which inspired my Christmas card above. I saw this card idea on Channin's blog a few weeks ago and thought it was brilliant and wanted to recreate it!!
Using the Pull Tab dies to create a party hat is brilliant (and in her post she made it into candy corn as well LOL!). I had ONE of these fun little glitter pom poms in my stash from one of my kids. It was the final push I needed to make this card as I didn't have anything before to add the "topper" to the birthday hat lol!
I finished off the inside of the card with a sentiment from the Holiday Thanks set and then stamped the confetti and stars with a rainbow of Distress Inks and that was it!
