You Rock {Waffle Flower Crafts}

Hello friends,

I know it's been a bit, well, quite here on the blog over the past week.  I have been busy with summer and all that entails, but I am back in action and I have some fun projects to share this week.

A few week's ago, Nina at Waffle Flower Crafts introduced the Rock My World die set that coordinates with the Rock My World stamp set. I thought it would be fun to use the dies to create a pattern inspired by a set of make-up bags I spotted on the Print & Pattern website.

First, I trimmed a piece of navy card stock to 4 x 5.25" and I die-cut the rock shapes in a random pattern.

Next, I die cut the rocks from scraps of blue, red, green, peach and white cardstock and inlayed them in the navy cardstock using a bit of washi tape on the back of the panel to hold things in place while I played around the placement.  I trimmed the red rock at the top of the panel and stamped You Rock by piecing together some of the words and sentiments included in the Rock My World stamp set. 

Finally, I adhered the inlayed panel onto a light gray card base.  

The card was inspired by the darling make-up bag set I found on the Print and Pattern website.

Fun inspiration, right?!  

Well, that's it for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Waffle Flower Crafts: You Rock My World Card

Hello friends and happy Saturday!

Today, I wanted to share a card I made with Waffle Flower Crafts Rock My World stamp set.  I was looking for inspiration on the internet and came across this awesome print from Minted.

I loved the colors and the simple design in this print.   Here is my take. 

On a piece of white card stock, I stamped the rocks in blue, pink, orange and black ink.  The orange and black rocks were created by inking and stamping the back side of the Live, Laugh, Love and Life is Beautiful rocks.  Stamping the back sides of your clear stamps is just another way to get more milage from your stamps.  

I stamped the sentiment in black ink and then had to figure out how to achieve the cool stripes on the rocks from the inspiration picture.  

After a few failed attempts at masking, I decided to pull out my paper piercer, needle and cream twine and stitch twine around the rocks.  In the end, I was really happy with the contrast between the graphic rocks and the rustic twine.  I adhered the completed card stock panel on a Fine Linen card base with some foam tape. 

I am also sharing this card with the Virginia's View Stitching challenge. 

Well, that's all for me today!  Thank you for stopping by!
