Clique Kits + Friends Blog Hop

Good morning friends and happy Friday!  

Today, I, along with other members of the Waffle Flower Crafts design team and friends are participating in the Clique Kits + Friends June Blog Hop.  Using the June Clique Kit along with some Waffle Flower stamps and dies, I created a scrapbook layout (!) and a card to share with you today. 

First up, a scrapbook layout featuring some pictures I took of Sophie when we were exploring the trails at a local park. Many of the papers and embellishments included in the June kit are from Crate Paper's Journey collection and it pairs perfectly with many Waffle Flower stamp sets and dies. 

Along with the June Clique Kit, my layout features The Doily Square die, the Feather More stamp set and the Pattern Play stamp set. 

Next up, a card featuring the Tribal Thank You stamp set. I die cut a circle using the Flower Circles die set and stamped the bear and border using Waffle Flower Summer Chalk Ink in shades 9 and 16. 

I stamped the sentiment on a die cut and added a few puffy stickers as accent. 

Here's a look at the June Clique Kit.  I was so impressed with the amount of product included in the kit.  They are really quite generous and many, many cards and layouts can be made from the contents of a single kit. 

Here's a list of the designers participating in today's hop:

Thankful Feather Card {Waffle Flower Crafts}

Hello friends!

I hope you are having a great weekend!  I am popping in today to share a card I created with one of Waffle Flower Craft's newest stamp sets, Feather More.

I wanted my card to have a very luxe feel to it, so I started by stamping the feathers onto white card stock with Gold Delicata ink and again with Versamark and gold embossing powder.  After setting the powder with a heat gun, I die cut both feathers using the Feather More Die Set.  I love using open dies where I can stamp first and die cut second.  I find that my borders are much more even that way!

Next I settled upon a color scheme for the rest of the card- white with a few rustic touches.  I made a card base from white card stock and trimmed a panel of woodgrain white card stock at an angle and adhered it to the bottom of the card with foam tape.  I trimmed a white card stock strip and stamped Thankful from the Holiday Labels- Give Thanks stamp set in brown ink and affixed it to the card.  

I layered the feathers and adhered this to the card. I tied a small bow with twine and attached it to the base of the feathers.  A few glitzy gold enamel dots add a finishing touch. 

I really love the look of the gold feathers contrasted with the pristine white card stock.  Very luxe indeed! Well that's all for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
