I used the Mini Everyday Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate set for my sentiments and foiled them onto black card stock. For the card fronts I die cut extra layers with the banner die that comes in the set and stacked them together to give it a little dimension.
When I was experimenting with the Glimmering Peony and the watercolor paper I didn't like how I'd positioned it the first couple of times. Since they still foiled perfectly I fussy cut them out and adhered them to the insides of the cards. I finished them off with another sentiment from the Mini Everyday Sentiments set and added some pink envelopes and that was it!

To create the background I used Picket Fence Studios Slim Line Waves stencil with Crackle Paste over watercolor paper. Once it was dry I sprayed and splattered it with Cracked Pistachio and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Sprays.
The sentiment is MFT's Thank You wafer die and I stacked it with white card stock then inked it up with Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide inks.
I did the same ink blending on some white mini slimline envelopes, and stamped the lemons and sentiments from the Pucker Up set onto the insides of the cards and that was it!

Speaking of card kits - I finally got the April Card Kit (kits get sent to me early by SSS as I design for them). Canada Post had slowed down a LOT - BUT all of a sudden it seems like things are sped up/back to normal-ish as I received multiple things this week (and some way earlier than I was expecting!).
Anywho - the kit:
You can check out the April Kit HERE <-----click! while supplies last and I have links to everything available separately in the supplies at the end of the post.
I gold heat embossed the butterfly from the set onto vellum, and used some of the papers from the kit.
On the inside of the card I added part of one of the patterned papers and stamped a sentiment from the Friendly Flowers set with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink. I added the remaining gold embossed vellum butterfly and that was it!

It was hard to show in the photos but I stencilled the Spring Boho Circle Stencil on the inside of the card using Simon's Deep Purple ink (and got splatter inside too - it wasn't intentional but I went with it LOL). I added a sentiment from the Sketch Iris set to finish it off.

I was so happy with how the watering can turned out that I combined the Peacock Feathers and Rusty Hinge Distress inks on the background as well. I blended the Rusty Hinge Distress Ink over the new Spring Boho Circle Stencil on a background lightly blended with the Peacock Feathers Distress ink. LOVE. Of course I added a ton of splatter with Perfect Pearls powder as well as Picket Fence Distress Paint.

On the inside of the card I stamped the window image with the Morning Mist ink. The sentiment from the Spring Windows set was stamped using Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink as was the one on the front. I paired the card with the Metallic Sea Glass Envelope that comes in the kit and that was it!

Did y'all see the NEW Distress color?!? It's Kitsch Flamingo!!! You can check it out HERE <------click! I watched Tim Holtz's live video when he revealed it - and LOVED it (and yeah I've said that about all the past new colors and will continue to say that about every new color that's released. We have 8 more to go! I love color 😍😍😍). Simon Says Stamp sent me the new bundle (I design for them!) and it showed up this week! TOTALLY made my week, and of course I had to start playing with it.
For the main image I white heat embossed the envelope and flowers stamp from Honey Bee's Pretty Postage stamp set onto Distress watercolor paper. I used the same Distress Oxide Sprays as the background and watercolored the image with them. Once dry I die cut it with the coordinating wafer die and popped it onto the background panel with foam tape.

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!).

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!

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!
