Waffle Flower April Release Day + GIVEAWAY

Happy Friday!  And today is extra happy because it is Waffle Flower's Full Bloom Release Day!  You can shop all the new goodies HERE.  Plus, I have a GIVEAWAY to share with you, so make sure you read to the bottom of the post. 

There are so many gorgeous floral products releasing this month, and today I'm highlighting the fabulous Painted Flowers Layering Die.  I created a slimline card, so I could use lots of them. :)

The Painted Flowers Layering Die creates such a “wow” factor with a surprisingly small amount of effort.  And the layers for the flowers are easy to align…hooray!  

These flowers look great die cut with colored cardstock, but this time I chose to blend the ink on them and the leaves. The etched details in the dies make them look fancier than the effort you have to put in to coloring them. ;)

Not to mention they pair beautifully with the new Oversized Boom Print Die that I used on my card as well.  

I wanted to keep the background simple, so I added just used the Postage Collage Slimline Die to cut a solid rectangle. 

Creating with these flowers brought me lots of smiles.  I hope they make you smile, too! And I hope that you head over to the Waffle Flower Shop to check out this amazing new release, and make sure to leave a comment to enter the giveaway...details below!

Waffle Flower Sneak Peeks Day 3

Hello, friends!  Welcome to the final day of sneak peeks for Waffle Flower's April release.   Only one more day before you can start shopping for all these wonderful new stamps, dies, and stencils.  Yay!  Today, I'm sharing the gorgeous new Wild Flowers Stencil.  It's my favorite from the whole release!

The Wild Flowers Stencil set fills an entire A2 card with beautiful flowers and leaves. And it even has guides for color placement etched right into the stencils, which is really helpful and takes the guesswork out of everything.

I followed the color prompts quite literally on my card (although I did use a couple different shades of pink, green, etc.).  But even if you choose totally different colors, the etched color placements help you keep colors evenly distributed, so you can create stunning cards in no time.

I finished my card off with the new Mother's Day Word Die. The size makes a big impact on a card, and I love that it still allowed the beautiful stenciled background to sing. 

I've made a few more cards this release, so make sure you come back tomorrow for some more inspiration and a giveaway.  Plus, tomorrow is the big day when you can start shopping for these fabulous new goodies!

Waffle Flower April Sneak Peak Day 2

Good morning, friends!  I'm back to share another sneak peek for Waffle Flower's April release.  There are several items being showcased today, and my card features the new Postage Collage Wild Flower Stencil.  The entire Postage Collage Collection is wildly popular (and for good reason), but the Postage Collage Wild Flower Stencil may be my favorite addition.  I love it!  

It includes a fun variety of flowers, and a simple swapping of colors gives a totally different look each time.  I have a feeling I'll be reaching for this one again and again!  The only trouble is that I wish I could use these as actual postage on my letters. :) 

I chose a happy, summery color scheme and went for a wildflower look with these the Postage Collage Wildflower Stencil, which provides some simple layering of colors.  This card is an A2 size, so I used the original Postage Collage Die. 

I chose a sentiment from the Subsentiments Bloom Diecut and added some stamped postage details with the Postage Collage Stamp Set. 

I just love the fresh, happy feel of this card!  It was so easy to make and with a simple swapping of sentiments, it could be used for so many occasions.  I sure do appreciate versatility!

All of these new products will be available for purchase April 5.  Make sure to come back tomorrow for another Sneak Peek.  Have a wonderful day, friends!

Waffle Flower "Full Bloom" Release Sneak Peak Day 1

Hello!  Today is the first day of sneak peeks for the Waffle Flower's April release.  The theme this month is "Full Bloom" and I am so in love with all these florals! 

Today we are giving a peek of the fabulous Painted Flowers Background Stencil & Die.  They are so much fun!  Painting is not one of my strengths, so I love that I can achieve this loose, watercolor look with the help of these stencils. 

Though they are designed to easily distribute alternating colors throughout, I used the stencils a little differently on my card and made rows of color instead.

The stencils are super easy to align, but even if you were off a tad, no big deal since the look is supposed to be loose and organic anyway. 

The sentiment on my card is the Oversized Boom Print Die paired with a new Subsentiments Bloom Diecut. I did a little ombre coloring on the "bloom", so it would mimic what was going on with the flowers. 

That's all for today, but make sure you come back tomorrow. I can't wait to share more!

Pretty Pink Posh Bunny Face - Two Ways

Good morning!  I have two Easter cards to share using the darling Bunny Face Shaker from Pretty Pink Posh that released this month.  I thought it would be fun to make a little boy bunny and a little girl bunny, and I think they are equally adorable.

I created a shaker card for my first Easter Bunny.  I started with a  sea glass card base and layered multiple layers of the Elegant Heart Banner Die on top.  Then I filled it with the new Springtime Shaker Beads.  I always love the way the beads sound in a shaker!

In the center I added the Bunny Face Shaker using wheat cardstock with white and nectar details.  Doesn't he look cute with that little bow?  (It's from the Birthday Treat Box Dies.)

Finally I created a frame around the bunny using some little eggs from the Big Easter Cupcake Dies in lemon tart, nectar , and tidepool. 

Next up, a little girl bunny card.  Although it actually isn't very little.  The first card is A2 size, but this one is a large A7 size. 

I wanted this one light and bright.  To make her a little girl bunny, I gave her a flower crown using the new Spring Mug Additions Dies. 

I created a colorful background using the Easter Egg Border Die and used a vellum circle cut with the largest Eyelet Circles Die, so the sweet bunny would still stand out from the busy background. 

Then I embossed a sentiment from the previously released Easter Wreath Stamp Set onto a rounded stitched rectangle found in the Big Easter Cupcake Dies. Finally I framed the sentiment with two tulips from the Spring Mug Additions.

These cards are finally in the mail, so hopefully they be bringing smiles soon.  Thanks so much for joining me today!  I hope you have the most wonderful Easter weekend!
