For today's cards I'm using some of the NEW products Honey Bee Stamps released. Their Love Letters release is huge and fabulous - you can check it all out at the links below:
I'm also part of a video hop today as well! I'll have links to all the other videos lower down in the post!
The wrap for the flowers was created with the Floral Bouquet Wrap wafer die - I die cut some of the brown paper bag that my monthly kits come wrapped in (I always recycle that paper but thankfully I had some still sitting here for this lol!).
I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube.

Hello friends! WooHoo!! I'm at post/video #17 in my 2020 Christmas card series. My plan is to always do 25 (at least - maybe.....MAYBE I can squeeze in a few more - I have more ideas and stamps and dies than I have time for every year (and always buying more....🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️)) but we shall see how many I can post this year! If you missed any of this years I have links to all of them at the end of this post.
Recently Waffle Flower released several more of their patterned paper pads:
If you aren't familiar with Waffle Flowers patterned paper packs - they're 80lb weight and measure 8.5 x 5.5". So if you score the sheet in half you have a patterned A2 card base. I did a post when they first started releasing patterned paper here:
Waffle Flower sent me some of their new Christmas papers and the Happy Gnomes stamp set which coordinates with the Happy Gnomes paper pack. I couldn't resist making a bunch of cards and tags using them:
After they were all dry I die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies and then die cut a bunch of the papers from the Happy Gnomes paper pack to make all these cards and tags:
I splattered Picket Fence Distress paint on 2 different papers from the Happy Gnomes paper pack and used those to create scenes for my cards. The mushroom papers from the pack I die cut with a circle wafer die to create a spotlight for the images and sentiments. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from Waffle Flowers Essential Sentiments combo set with the coordinating wafer dies.
On the insides of all the cards I used the patterned papers from the Happy Gnomes paper pack - all the little characters in the papers are the same size as the stamp set so you can use the coordinating wafer dies for the stamp set on the papers. I die cut a bunch of them and used them to create little scenes on the insides of all the cards.
To finish off all the cards and tags I used several different Nuvo Crystal Drops (specific colors are listed and linked below!) and let those dry and that was it!
To see how all these came together check out my video below:

Hello friends!! Today is Waffle Flower's December release! You can check out all the new products HERE as well at at the links below. Today's post is part of a blog hop to share inspiration for this release so I'll have links to the other designers below AND there's a giveaway at the end too!
SO MUCH INSPIRATION with this release. Here's what I made:
The background was ink blended with Distress Oxide inks (all the colors are listed and linked below in the supplies) onto Neenah Desert Storm card stock. I then die cut the panel with the largest of the Waffle Flower Slim Lacy Layers dies before adhering it to my card.

Apologies for the not-so-great pics. My camera was going haywire over the foil accents in the card stock and the reflection was making it difficult to get pics of! I couldn't resist using the card stock though - it's GORGEOUS (and I showed it in depth in the Tonic Rustic Rose Haul I posted the other day HERE).
On the insides of the card I heat embossed more sentiments from the Merry Buzzword stamp set with the Pearled Pistachio embossing powder and that was it!

Hello everyone! So my November 2020 Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp showed up last? (I think it was last week - honestly with the cold I'm battling and so many other things going on my days are a blur) week so I filmed an unboxing. I also made a card and finally got all that edited and added so it's all one big happy video!

Hello everyone! Waffle Flower's October release just went live and I'm part of a blog hop today to celebrate it! You can start at the beginning of the hop HERE on the Waffle Flower blog and I'll have links to all the stops lower down in my post as well as GIVEAWAY info!
I have the new Holiday Cheese stamp and die combo so I made a couple of Christmas cards with it for my 2020 Christmas Card series. If you missed the first video for this year you can find that post here:
I added the mug image to the inside of the cards and white heat embossed sentiments from the set onto red cardtsock. On the Grocery Bag Slimline envelopes I stamped the mouse with the "merry Xmas" sentiment just to give the envelope a little something and that was it!

It has been a heckuva September! This is my 32nd video this month lol. I don't think I'll be able to keep up a pace quite like this however stay tuned as I still have a lot of Halloween (and Christmas! And fall and just whatever-themed) videos coming!
This card was made using the sold-out STAMPtember kit. I only used elements that are still available so no worries there:

Before I get to my cards using this set don't forget to check out the Limited Edition STAMPtember 2020 card kit that was released yesterday (and there's still some in stock!):
You can check out the kit HERE <-------click! while supplies last! This is a Limited Edition (bigger) kit that isn't part of the monthly subscription - and it's going to sell out quickly IMO!
ALSO - if you weren't aware - Tim will be doing a LIVE video on his Facebook page a little later today:
You can get to his Facebook page HERE <------click! and tune in at 1pm ET for his video! He'll be showing the set along with a bunch of inspiration made using it (I sent my cards in for this so they should be featured in there too!) from several talented designers. ALWAYS worth tuning in to Tim's videos - the amount of inspiration alone is fabulous.
OK on to my cards:
These are 3.5 x 8.5" slimline cards.
I made 4 slimline cards using Tim's STAMPtember 2020 set - the crazy cats and sentiments cracked me up so much I needed to use ALL of them.
I stamped the cats from the STAMPtember 2020 set onto Distress Watercolor paper with Ranger's Archival Jet Black ink. I watercolored all of them with Distress Inks (all the colors used are listed and linked in the supplies below) and the card with the cat tangled in the Christmas lights I coloured the lights in with Copic Markers.

Hello everyone! Hope y'all are planning on having a great weekend! Stay tuned as there are still more STAMPtember releases (that I will have posts and videos for!) over the next few days!
For today's cards I pulled out my Glimmer Hot Foil machine. I've done a few posts using Glimmer Hot Foil and the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Plates - you can find those posts here:
I added splatter (of course) and bling (all the colors and also types of bling are listed in the supplies below).
On the outside and inside of the cards I used sentiments from the CZ Design 30 Days of Thankful set. I stamped leaves from that set onto the insides using the same Distress Oxide inks that I used for the watercoloring, and that was it!

I used my all-time favorite stamp set yet again - Simon's Beautiful Flowers. I just love it. I heat embossed the big floral stamp onto Arches Hot Press watercolor paper with Simon's Antique Gold embossing powder. I then watercolored it all in with Distress Oxide inks.
I used Simon's Sympathy Greetings Mix stamp set for the sentiments, heat embossing one onto Cream Off White card stock and adding another to the watercolor panel.
On the inside of the card and the envelope I stamped the same large floral from the Beautiful Flowers set using a couple of the same Distress Oxide inks I used to watercolor the card front. I added a couple more sentiments from the Sympathy Greetings Mix using the Oxide inks and that was it!

That's right friends! TWO different Limited Edition sets are here for STAMPTEMBER! So I have two cards and TWO videos to share with y'all in this post! Woot woot!
I white heat embossed the large wreath from the 'Tis the Season set onto Distress watercolor paper and did some messy watercoloring with Distress Oxide inks (specific colors listed in the supplies below). I stamped the wood boards of the image onto a second piece with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and gold heat embossed one of the sentiments from the set onto it.
I stamped the wreath on the inside of the card and onto the Schoolhouse Red envelope. I added another sentiment to the inside of the card from the 'Tis the Season set and that was it!

I stamped the cluster of drinks onto Bristol Smooth card stock with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I then used a bunch of Distress Inks (all colors used are listed below in the supplies!) and a mini water brush to color them all in.
I stamped the inside with the drinks and added a sentiment from the Happy Water set, and paired the card with a Lemon Chiffon envelope and that was it!

I finished off the inside of the card with a sentiment from the Because of You stamp set that I heat embossed with gold embossing powder onto more Soft Navy card stock and that was it!
