Cozy Christmas - Waffle Flower

Hello again crafty friends! I am back with my third and final post guesting for the Waffle Flower November release. I am so glad I got to be a part of this months release!

Today I am featuring the new Cozy Cabin Dies which just go perfectly with the Winter Hamster Stamp set.

I die cut all the pieces of the Cozy Cabin die from white cardstock so I use use my distress oxide inks for blending and customizing. The distress oxide colors are Pumice Stone, Evergreen Bough, Pine Needles, Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey & Spiced Marmalade. The inside of the windows are colored with copics in B99, B95 & B93 with a little white gel pen detail for snow. The Hamsters are colored in shades of E44, E43 & E40 with accessories in BG78, BG75, BG72, BG12, BG10 & BG0000. Cheeks and heart was done with a little R11 & R20.

Thanks for stopping by!

Leaf Dance - Waffle Flower

Hello Crafty Friends! Back with card #2 for this new Waffle Flower release. I love Big Bear and Bird designs so I was over the moon to receive Blessed Bear. I was inspired directly from the designers feed for my bear color here. I just love her soft fuzzy bears. This set was so whimsical the card just kind of fell together with the bear dancing in the leaves with his little bird friends.

I started with a dark navy blue cardstock and took some distress ink in black soot to the edges. I splattered the finished ink blended card with several colors of the Gansai Tambi starry color watercolor palette; red gold, yellow gold and blue gold. I used a gold embossed sentiment on a white cardstock banner so it really pops against the dark background. The images are copic colored.

Bear: E44, E43, E40
Scarf/Leaves: Y38, Y35, YR30
Red Leaves: E18, E15
Green Leaves: YG67, YG63, YG61
Birds: B02, B00, B000

Happy Hamster - Waffle Flower

Hello crafty friends! I am so excited to be guesting for Waffle Flower for this release!! When I received this stamp Winter Hamsters set and I admit I might have squealed in happiness a tiny bit. These chubby little hamsters are just adorable. I already own the office hamster set so I was delighted to see a Christmas set. By the way, an extra neat feature with the dies is worth a look. The way the stamps are grouped means you stamp them and the dies are all on one so you can cut a bunch at once. This is especially handy for all the little coordinating images for scene building.  I am including a video for today's card as well, click here to go to the HD version on YouTube. I'd love it if you gave a follow as well. I hope you enjoy :)

Fairy Friends - Waffle Flower

Hello Crafty Friends! I have a slight obsession with fairies (and dragons too to be fair) so I snatched up this set right away. I wanted a little twilight scene for this card so I ink blended some distress oxide ink in blueprint sketch along the top of the card concentrating on the edges. I brought in a little shaded lilac in the center for a soft sky transition. I used twisted citron for the ground which blends nicely with the blueprint sketch to form a darker green. I used copic opaque white for splatter to give that nice starry sky effect.

I was smitten with the dandilion fluffs when I saw them so I just had to add some puff to them. I used Neon Amplify which I had never used before and it worked like a charm! I just put a little bit around one edge and then hit it with my heat tool until it puffed up.

The images are all colored using copics. I added a bit of sparkle to the fairy wings using liquid glue and Lawn Fawns prisma glitter. I finished off the card with a simple white heat embossed sentiment.

Be Friends - Waffle Flower

Hello Crafty friends! I've been so excited to play with some of my new Waffle Flower goodies! I just had to start with the new Be Her set. I started also in on the 100 days project on Instagram and these cards just kind of fell together because of that. My 100 day project are backgrounds. I am just playing with different media and color combos and hopefully at the end of it will have made 100 cards!

The backgrounds were done with distress ink water colored on some Bristol paper. All except the unicorn; if you can spot the subtle off white color. I have no idea what that is but it was mixed in with my pre-cut Bristol. I didn't notice until I was photographing that it didn't match the rest. I did some very simple copic coloring on all the animals. In fact the bodies are all done with C1-C5 in varying amounts. For the sentiments I grabbed some of my other Waffle Flower sets. I think the kitten is my favorite. I love this set so much I had to get the companion Be Him set as well. Can't wait for it to arrive.
