Freckled Fawn + Waffle Flower Special Blog Hop

Good morning friends,

Waffle Flower Crafts has teamed up with our friends at Freckled Fawn to bring you some awesome inspiration for Spring! Two members from each of our design teams are sharing projects today! Check out our blogs to see how they pair Waffle Flower stamps + dies with the cutest embellishments from Freckled Fawn!

I had a blast playing with some really inspiring embellishments from Freckled Fawn, and I created 5 (!) cards to share with you today.  After I selected my items, some of the products I chose sold out (because I have really awesome taste and all), so sadly, I am not able to link to them.  I do hope they still inspire,  so without further ado, let's get this party started!

My first card was all about this fun cork birthday banner.  The Zebra from the Monochrome stamp set is at a party- complete with Confetti (from the Flutter stamp set) and prezzies!   The gift resin shape is also from Freckled Fawn. 

This next card features the Rainbow Stars from Freckled Fawn. On my card base I stamped the random star background pattern from the Bowtiful stamp set.  Next, I stamped and die cut a cloud using the Rain Check stamp set and Partly Cloudy die.  I stamped the stitched lines and adhered the adorable stars to the card. The stitched lines are from the Flutter stamp set and the sentiment is from the Starry Night stamp set. 

More Monochrome stamp set fun with the next card!  This time, the animals are piled atop one another and have something to say about it using Freckled Fawn's Speech Bubble Wood Chips. The bird is impressed, but the animals at the bottom of the pile may be thinking otherwise. ;)  The luscious ink colors are from the Summer Blend ink pad (9, 10, 12 and 14). 

This card features a sun from a no longer in stock chipboard sticker set along with this Rainbow Stripe Washi Tape. The sentiment and clouds were created using the  Rain Check stamp set and Partly Cloudy die. 

Lastly, Mother's Day is just around the corner, so I made a card for mom with Freckled Fawn's White Square Doilies- folded into a sweet basket, the Loved stamp set and the Loved die set along with a sentiment from the Potted stamp set.

Rise + Shine Card {Waffle Flower Crafts}

Hello friends,

For the better part of three months, we have been in a deep freeze in Northeast Ohio.  Subzero temperatures, arctic wind chills, epic snowfalls, and seven (7) calamity days (no school for the kiddos).  I haven't seen my lawn since late December and my lllooonngg driveway could double as a hockey rink.

All that's about to change, thankfully.  The spring thaw has begun, so I wanted to make a card in celebration of all things bright and sunny using Waffle Flower Craft's Rain Check stamp set and the Partly Cloudy die.

I covered a card with blue patterned paper and stamps the sun rays onto white card stock. 

TIP: For the gingham rays, I stamped the rays with a light colored pigment ink on the back of the patterned paper and trimmed them out. 

I adhered the rays to the card and added a yellow card stock circle cut with the Flower Circles die set. I just love the dotted detail on the Flower Circle die set. 

I stamped and die cut the clouds and stamped the sentiment on the clouds.  I adhered them to the card with a bit of foam tape. 

I am sooo ready for spring and I hope we see lots of bright, sunshiny days ahead!

Thanks for stopping by!
