Hello everyone!! As I mention in my video - the cold has FINALLY let up a bit here - it was around -24C today and that's a HUGE improvement of the -40C and colder we've had for the last couple of weeks!
During the cold snap tho - this image from Picket Fence Studios was too perfect:
This Jill Girl stamp was so perfect I had to order it when it came back in stock (it's been pretty popular so I had to wait for a back-in-stock email and then I snapped it up LOL!). It seemed rather fitting to pair it with Echo Park's Coffee 6x6 patterned papers, and then I used Simon Says Stamp's Painted Friend wafer die.
I stamped the Jill Girl onto Bee watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and then watercolored them in with my Mission Golds. After they were all dry I used my white Gelly Roll pens to add highlights.
To finish off the inside of the card I added strips of the EP Coffee papers and stamped a sentiment from Picket Fence's Coffee Understands stamp set using Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink.

Hello everyone!! For today's card I was completely inspired by one of the sentiment stamps from Honey Bee Stamps Friendship stamp set:
I created galaxy backgrounds with my Gansai Tambi watercolors on Arches watercolor paper. I used the starburst images from the Friendship stamp set and silver heat embossed those onto the backgrounds.
The sentiment from the Friendship set that inspired the cards was also silver heat embossed - this time onto vellum. I wrapped the vellum around the watercolor paper and used foam tape to adhere them to the card fronts.
On the inside of the cards I used a combination of silver heat embossing, black ink and Delicata Silvery Shimmer ink to make my sentiments and stamp the starbursts.

Hello everyone!! It's time for Waffle Flowers February Release! You can check out the release HERE <------click! and I've got links to all the stamps and dies individually as well as the stamp and die bundles below:
To celebrate the new release there's a fun blog hop with a bunch of inspiration and giveaways! If you didn't get here from the Waffle Flower blog I'll have links to all the stops below as well!
Here's what I made with a couple of the new sets:
I created 4 cards using the Be Her stamp set and the Label Greetings set. I clear heat embossed the critters after stamping them with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto water-colour paper, then watercolored them with Prima and Gansai Tambi water-colours.
I did all the backgrounds with the same watercolors, and white heat embossed the sentiments on black card stock then die cut them with coordinating dies.
All the critters and sentiments were adhered with foam tape, and I added some of Waffle Flowers enamel dots to the backgrounds.
I finished off the insides of the cards by stamping each of the critters with Distress Oxide inks, and also stamped them onto matching envelopes for each card. I then adhered the thanks sentiments to the insides and that was it!

Hello everyone! Welcome to Day 2 of blog hops celebrating Honey Bee's Brie Mine release! If you missed Day 1 you can check that out HERE <--------click! There's also GIVEAWAY info at the end of this post!
Isn't this little mouse the cutest thing ever? The Mae the Mouse stamp set has a ton of different images in the set so you can create something for just about any occasion. I decided to use the honey jar image and go with a yellow theme to make a non-traditional Valentine's Day card that could be used as a thank you card or any occasion if you skipped the sentiment on the inside (or changed it up to a different sentiment using the Brie Mine set).
I stamped the mouse and the honey jar onto Bristol Smooth card stock with Versafine Onyx Black ink and then clear heat embossed them before colouring them in with my Arteza Real Brush markers and a water brush. Once dry I added highlights with a white gel pen and then die cut them with their coordinating wafer dies.
The backgrounds were created with one of the Hexi Patterns Background stencils and 2 shades of Distress Oxide Ink. Once the color was stencilled on I used Black Soot Distress Paint to splatter onto the backgrounds.
I finished off the insides of the cards with a little bit more stencilling and sentiments from the Brie Mine set and that was it!

Happy weekend everyone! I'm back with another card for last week's Color Throwdown Challenge - if you missed my previous card for it you can find it here:
So after making that one I still couldn't get this color combo out of my head - plus I REALLY wanted to use the jewels I had pulled out and decided against using on the previous card LOL!
To go with the jewels I pulled out one of my favorite sets - Simon Says Stamp's Beautiful Flowers 2:
I white heat embossed the flower stamp onto water-colour paper then used my Prima Classics water-colours and did some messy watercoloring of the images.
I used Simon's Thinking of You wafer dies for the sentiment and added a small sentiment from the Beautiful Flowers 2 stamp set. And of course used a bunch of the Deep Pool and Blueberry jewels from Little Things by Lucy's Cards.
I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the large floral image with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink and then white heat embossed a sentiment from the So Loved stamp set and that was it!

Hello everyone!! I have a combination Valentines/Birthday post for y'all today - using one stamp set from Honey Bee Stamps. Their new Piece of Cake stamp set and dies are fabulous and I couldn't make up my mind which images to use so I used almost all of them and made 2 cards, one birthday-themed and the other more Valentine/love-themed.
If you've missed any of my previous Valentine posts from this years series you can find them all here:
I clear heat embossed the images onto watercolor paper after stamping them with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I then used Prima's Pastel Dreams watercolor set to color them all in, and once dry added highlights and texture with a white gel pen. I used the coordinating Honey Cuts dies to die cut all the images, and most are adhered to the cards with foam tape.
For the backgrounds I die cut white card stock with the Scallop A2 Honey Cuts dies and masked off the outer perimeter of them. I sponged on some light pink dye inks and then used Tonic's Moonstone Glimmer Paste over the smallest dots in the Honey Bee Polka Dots Background Stencil pack.
On the inside of the cards I used a combination of heat embossed, die cut and stamped sentiments. I had more of the stamped and coloured images left over so I added those to the insides to finish them off!

Hello everyone!! Waffle Flower has a FABULOUS new release this month - a bunch of awesome stamps and dies and even enamel dots!!
There's a blog hop today with a bunch of inspiration plus there's a GIVEAWAY (more info on that at the end of the post!!).
I couldn't resist using the new Group Hugs stamp set to make a card for my Valentine's Day series:
Isn't it the cutest image ever? I clear heat embossed it onto Bee watercolor paper after stamping it with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I then used my Prima watercolors to color it all in. Once it was dry I added some dots and highlights with my white gel pen and then die cut it with the coordinating wafer die.
I painted a background with the same watercolor paper and more Prima watercolors, and adhered the Group Hugs image to it along with white heat embossed sentiments from the set.
The enamel dots are NEW from Waffle Flower - and they're so pretty! I used the Up and Running pack as the colors were PERFECT for this card.
I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the Group Hug image with Fog ink then stamped the little outline heart from the set with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink and that was it!

I really wanted to use the new Decorative Hamsa wafer die and ended up making 2 cards featuring it. I created two really easy shimmery backgrounds using Nuvo Shimmer Powders over watercolor paper. Once those were dry I adhered the Decorative Hamsa die cuts.
I ran some gold and silver glitter paper from SSS through my little Xyron 3" machine to put permanent adhesive on the back of them, then die cut them with the Decorative Hamsa wafer die. I adhered the die cuts to the backgrounds, and then added a shimmery metallic border with one of my FineTec metallic watercolor palettes by painting it along the edge with a paintbrush.
The sentiments are from Simon's Tiny Words stamp set and were die cut with one of the new Nested Banners wafer dies.
I used another sentiment from the Tiny Words set and the same die to add sentiments to the insides of the cards and that was it!

Hello everyone! It's the 5th of the month - which means a new release from Waffle Flower!
This is a smaller release (it always looks like more as you can get the stamps and coordinating dies separately or in a bundle) with the CUTEST little mini sets and a couple of amazing larger sets:
And to celebrate the release and provide inspiration there's a hop AND a giveaway too!!
If you didn't get here from the Waffle Flower blog I'll have links to all the stops on this hop further down in my post!
I was so excited to see this new Thinking of You stamp set. I have the Always set with the same girl image (in that one she's holding a bird) that I made a card with HERE. This time she's holding a cat and the stamp is much bigger.
I ended up making three cards because I couldn't settle on one - plus they all started with a simple card design and then I step it up a bit for each card following:
I heat embossed the image onto white card stock using Ranger's Liquid Platinum embossing powder. For the first card that was it. The detail and size of the image lends itself nicely to just stamping or heat embossing the image, adding a sentiment and you're done!
For the second card I did the same thing, but offset the image on the white card stock. I then stamped the new Halftone Background onto the card base with Simon Says Stamp Stone ink. I added the sentiment and some glitter paper that I tinted with the same Stone ink. It's still a simple card - but more detail and more involved than the first clean and simple card.
For my third card I used the same embossing powder but this time I heat embossed it onto watercolor card stock. I then did some simple watercoloring with a couple of my Prima palettes. Once dry I die cut the image with a large stitched rectangle die. I don't have any card stock that matched the Stone ink color - so I blended that onto my white card base.
On all three cards I finished the insides by stamping the main image with the Stone ink and that was it!

Hello everyone! I hope y'all have had a good weekend!
I pulled out PinkFresh Studio's Cityscape Wafer Die and Home For the Holidays stamp set to make a couple of galaxy background shaker cards. These came together SO quick and easy - I like not having to think too much sometimes when I'm making a card - and major bonus if it involves things like shaker elements etc!
I used PinkFresh's Liquid Watercolors to paint the backgrounds as well as to paint the stamped scenes on both cards. I then used white gouache and splattered it liberally on both the background (for the "galaxy look") and onto the card front for "snow".
On the inside of both cards I stamped another sentiment from the Home For the Holidays stamp set and then stamped the buildings and the snowflakes with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and that finished them off!

I pulled out several of the Suzy's Snowmen paintable prints from SSS, and before I got to painting them I masked off a lot of the details with Nuvo's Masking Fluid.
Masking off some of the smaller details - the falling snow, ornaments, fine lines etc etc made it a LOT easier to watercolor the backgrounds and all the other areas around those details.
I kept the watercoloring simple as well - using one palette (Prima Tropicals), my Nuvo brushes, and then adding "snow" AKA white splatter at the end.
After everything was done and dry I die cut all the panels with either the largest Simon Wonky Rectangles wafer dies or larges Stitched Rectangles dies and then mounted them with foam tape onto top folding A2 card bases and that was it!

I REALLY like this fall color combo - they aren't colors I'd normally think of on my own to put together and yet I LOVE them together LOL!
I pulled out one of my all-time favourite floral stamp sets - Simon Says Stamp's Beautiful Flowers - and white heat embossed it onto some Strathmore watercolor paper. I then coloured it in with some Prima Watercolors and my Tonic Nuvo paint brushes.
The thankful die cut and stamped sentiment are from CZ Design, and I added some gold confetti to finish off the outside of the card.
On the inside of the card I stamped the large floral cluster with SSS Sunshine ink and stamped the sentiment from the CZ Design 30 Days of Thankful set with SSS Dark Chocolate ink and that was it!

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!

So I received the Dino Time stamps and dies among a few other goodies and I combined them all into these 2 cards. I've always had a soft spot for anything dinosaur-themed - I don't know what it is but I LOVE making Dino-themed crafts lol!
Aren't they adorable?!?
I stamped the Dino's with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto Distress watercolor paper and clear heat embossed them. I then did some quick and easy colouring with my Arteza Real Brush pens and a waterbrush and then after they were dry I die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies.
The die cut "rocks" and the stencilled rocks were inked up with Simon Says Stamp's dye inks, and the palm trees were also stamped with SSS inks before die cutting them.
The long sentiments are a part of the Dino Time stamp set and the speech bubbles and sentiments are from the new Whatcha Saying Now? stamp set and coordinating die set - which I used on the insides of the card as well:
I added those sentiments along with the remaining Dino's and that was it!
