First up, we have one of the two new Postage Collage Sets! This one is called: Postage Collage Beach Days Stencil + Postage Collage Beach Days Stamp Set. This also uses the new cutting plate called: Happy Waves Panel Die. I also used the Postage Collage Blocks Stencil to fill in some of the background on this one and my 4th of July card.

This is definitely one of my favorite cards from this release 🙂 It makes me think I’m on the beach sending postacards! 🙂

So fun! 🙂

This next card cracks me up! Hello little fry thief! This little bird thief is from the Happy Seagull Die set. The sentiment is from the new Inquisitive Seagulls Stamp Set.

The bottom sand is created with the new Wavy Borders Die which I can see using often to just create that perfect rolling finished edge for many a things! 🙂

I also love the new Beach Umbrella Die n Stencil! This one is super easy to use and make allllll the beach umbrellas with. And the new Oversized Beach Word Die works swimmingly with the new subsentiments this month!

And again the new Happy Waves Panel Die is FABULOUS! So easy to create some subtle texture.

I really wish I was in one of these cards about now! 🙂

Next up, I used the Beach Umbrella Die n Stencil along with the new Sea Foam Stencil. I created the sand with the new Wavy Borders Die. I also used the new Pocket Slots Die to hold the gift card–big fan of this finished slot!

The Hello is from the new Beach Days Greetings Stamp Set. How fun to create your sentiment in the sand!

One of my new favorites I can see using OFTEN is the Beach Tote Die! Super fun and full customizable! Also, perfect for giftcards! Eeeeep! 🙂 It also uses the new Beach Tote Sentiments Stamp Set to create the towel and includes the sentiments!

And then there are these funny new Inquisitive Seagulls dies and again the Inquisitive Seagulls Stamp Set.

The beach collection icons are from the Seashells Die set.

The second new addtion to the Postage Collage Collection is this Postage Collage 4th of July Stencil + 4th of July Stencil Stamp.

This background is created with the previously released Sparkles Panel Die.

And this last card full of celebratory funny fun (wow! that’s a mouth full! 😂) Combining both the Postage Collage 4th of July Stencil and the Postage Collage Beach Days Stencil.

The background of this one is the much loved and used Dashed Rhombus Panel Die. The sentiment is from the new Birthday Wishes Stamp Set + the Birthday Wishes Coordinating Die Set.

The Postage Collage sets are always super fun and I like to mix those in. There are different Postage Collage Sizes HERE!

Love this first one because I had to go all Lucky Charms on it! So fun in rainbow delightfulness!

This next cards use all the shamrocks!

Alllllll the good luck! Plus, I used the cutting plates from the previous releases that go swimmingly with anything 🙂

Shamrock Die + Lucky Clover Background stencil— he is so cute!

This one uses the new Lucky Clover Die + Happy St. Patrick’s Day Stamp Set! This is super fun that the sentiment is made to perfectly fit on all the shamrocks! I clear embossed this for extra oomph!

Background is created with the previously released Quilting Texture Die–a new staple for sure!

Since I had a few shamrocks left, I thought this would be a fun rainbowtastic way to use them with the Oversized Lucky Print Die!

This one was fun to make and reminds me of looking through a window! 🙂

Waffle Flower: October Release!

I’m excited to be joining Waffle Flower! Today, we are sharing the October Release!

Welcome to the Waffle Flower October Release! I’m excited to be hopping with Waffle Flower to show you all the fun new October-ness awaiting you on the Waffle Flower website! Be sure to check out each stop in today’s blog hop for fun, inspiration, and chances to win some of these new release delights!

You can find the whole blog hop list on the Waffle Flower Blog. You can click on the names of the Waffle Flower products here in my post for direct links to the WF site and check them out there. 😊 Hopefully you find these helpful!

For now, let’s get this party started! I thought this first little number turned out super fun! Honestly, I just kind of wing it when picking colors, and this one turned out lovely!

This uses the new Pop-up Fall Leaves Panel Die and the new Blessed Print Die.

Love this for Fall or anytime really! I can’t wait to send this one out 🙂

The new Waffle Flower Shader Brushes are dynamite for this:

Shader Brush 0+ – 15/pk
Shader Brush 1+ – 5/pk
Shader Brush 1+ – Double Ended – 5/pk

The edges of the little leaves all pop up with a little nudge from the underside. You stencil this using the new Fall Leaves Background Stencil. This is a fave for sure!

Next up, I used the Multiple Fall Leaves Die-n-Stencil to create this Fall delight! I stenciled all the leaves first with a rainbow of colors and then die cut everything.

I am a super fan of how the leaves have the little etched details, which are even better in person.

I die cut all these out and arranged them all before putting on the sentiment from Subsentiments-Thanks Die Cut.

And here’s two more cards using more Autumnal delights! This is a new addition to the Postage Collage Die collection using the new Postage Collage Fall Stencil and the Postage Collage for Fall Stamp Set!

And again the sentiment is from Subsentiments-Thanks Die Cut. I so enjoy how the Postage Collage Die creates these fun stamps with one die cut and you just trim them up to create individual ones!

The subtle background is created with the previously released Dotted Chevron Die.

I also used the previously released Postage Collage Stamp Set for this next card because I had one more stamp. I used it in conjunction with the new Dotted Sunburst Die for this card. You could also stitch the Dotted Sunburst Die–which would be pretty darn cool!

This card also features the new Dotted Labels Die. There are a few dies in that set and definitely staples to have in your catalog!

I do love subtle details that don’t overwhelm your card! Such fun! 🙂

This next card features the new Woodgrain Die and I put watercolor on it, rainbow style, to mix things up! A rainbow is always in season, right? 🌈😊

The sentiment is also new and it is called Give Thanks Print Die. I put a layer of black cardstock to give a little extra oomph, which you cannot really see, but it gives it that little subtle pop when you have white on white.

Love the rainbow! 🙂

Let’s switch gears to a little holiday fun in a different color scheme! The Dotted Triangle Trees Die is what I used to create these trees all layered and stitched up, along with the previously released Folk Art Background Die.

Definitely a different holiday color scheme that I can’t say I’ve used before, so that’s a little branch out. Get it…branch out. Ok, well, I had to. 🙂

The sentiment is the Print Script Thank You Die which screams versatility for use on any project ahead. I always enjoy when the fonts are simple and there is a backer die to rest on. Fantastic!

And Last but not least here’s a sweet little number to close with. This uses the Dotted Day Scene Die along with the Subsentiments Die Cut sentiment

So sweet! I’m looking forward to mailing this one. 🙂

Hooray for cardmaking! And speaking of which: Are you celebrating World Cardmaking Day on Saturday? 💌

Waffle Flower Guest Fun and BLOG HOP!

Today, I’m joining in the Waffle Flower July Release Hop + Giveaway (details below)!

Welcome to the Waffle Flower July Release Blog Hop! I’m excited to be hopping with the folks from Waffle Flower to show you all the fun new goodies awaiting you on the Waffle Flower website! Be sure to check out each stop in today’s blog hop for fun, inspiration, and chances to win some of these new release goodies!

I’m the last stop, but you can always circle back to the beginning on the Waffle Flower Blog.

Let’s get started, shall we?

First up, I love the simplicity of this card, using both the Postage Collage Everyday Stencil and the Postage Collage Die. The little cancel stamps, etc. are from the Postage Collage Stamp Set.

I used the Postage Collage Everyday Stencil set first to create the images and then came back and die cut them into stamps with the Postage Collage Die.

It’s a perk to be able to decide which part of the image you’d like to die cut too, right? I think I might have to try this with other Waffle Flower stamps I have!

Next up, let’s pop over from some Christmas in July, shall we? I used the Postage Collage Christmas Stencil set to create this card along with the Postage Collage Die.

I love those white/yellow/green poinsettias at the holidays, so I tried to create one of those here. I think I added a bit too much green, but it’s fun nonetheless! This sentiment is from the Elegant Christmas set. (There is also a coordinating die for these sentiments here: Elegant Christmas Matching Die)

I love the idea of cutting these apart to create little individual stamps, so I am hoping to circle back and create those soon.

Next, I used the Multiple Presents Die-n-stencil to create this card, perfect for anytime on any occasion. These sentiments is from the Subsentiments Gift Diecut.

I am always a fan of this color combo–it reminds me of cotton candy at a fair. I think I would give this card and include a gift card inside, perhaps? Oh the possibilities!

And my last card for today uses the new Postage Collage Coloring Stencil and again the Postage Collage Die. Also the stamps are from the Postage Collage Stamp Set.

This one I am super excited about making into individual stamps and using them on different card layouts. Such fun to think about. You can also create solid color backgrounds with the one stencil, so I added that layer on a couple stamps too. I also went rainbow on this one because we can never go wrong with rainbow, right? 🙂

For today’s hop, Waffle Flower is giving away $25 gift certificates at every stop of the hop, that’s a total of 3 chances to win! You can leave a comment on this blog and along the hop by 11:59pm EST on Monday July 10th, 2023 for your chances to win. Winners will be chosen at random from the comments and will be announced on the Waffle Flower Blog on Winner Wednesday 7/12/2023.
