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.

Thank My Lucky Stars {Waffle Flower Crafts}

Hello friends!

Happy Sunday!  I am popping in today with a card I made with some of Waffle Flower Craft's new August Release- Starry Night stamp set and the Riverside Die set.  

On a piece of navy card stock, I stamped the stars from the Starry Night stamp set in a random pattern with white pigment ink.   I added in a couple of the larger star images from the set for a bit of starry variety. 

Next on a piece of white cardstock, I stamped the outline of the moon and the sentiment (also from Starry Night in navy ink.  I trimmed around the moon and adhered it to the panel.  I set the panel aside to dry for what seemed like long enough, but I still managed to smudge the stamped stars.  I will refer to this as a happy accident because I thought it gave a cool, dreamy look to the stars.  They almost look like they are glowing. Using my finger, I smudged more of the stars and blended in a bit more white ink to the sky. 

I die cut the mountains and the pine trees from card stock using the Riverside die set.  I wanted to make a bit longer of a mountain range, so I die cut 2 mountain trios and trimmed the first mountain from the second set.  I adhered the mountains to a scrap of gray card stock and trimmed away the excess. I adhered the pine trees to the bottom of the panel.  As a finishing touch, I added a bit of white pigment ink to the trees to add a bit of misty looking clouds to the earth portion of the scene.  Finally, I adhered the completed panel to a blue card stock base.

Well that's all for me today!  Lots of crafty plans for the weekend still- better get busy! ;) Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Cutting Edge Blog Hop {Waffle Flower Crafts + Pretty Pink Posh}

Hello friends, 

This weekend, Pretty Pink Posh, is hosting the Cutting Edge hop and Waffle Flower Crafts is one of the sponsors.  If you like using die cuts on your projects, then this hop is for you! In honor of the hop, I created a card using some Pretty Pink Posh Sequins and Waffle Flower Crafts stamps and dies. 

For this hop I created a holiday card featuring a cozy winter cottage.  First I die cut the scalloped frame from Surface- Tag Die- Scallop Add On on white card stock and trimmed a corner to create the cottage roof. Next I stamped the gift from A Homemade Christmas stamp set with red pigment ink and embossed a sentiment (also from A Homemade Christmas) with white embossing powder. 

Next I die cut some trees from the Riverside Die Set and the river became a snow covered path.  I added some Marshmallow sequins to create the look of freshly fallen snow. 

I used Starry Night to stamp the snowflakes above the cottage roof before wrapping the stamped panel with red baker's twine and adhering it to a kraft card base. 

Are you excited for the hop? I can't wait to see what everyone creates! 

Here are the details: 

The blog hop will start on Friday, August 22nd, 2014 at 6AM, PST and will run until Monday, August 25, 2014 at 11:55 PM, PST on the Pretty Pink Posh blog. There will be a link-up widget where you can link up your project and then hop along and see what others have created.

That's all for me today! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you see you around the hop!
