This month we have a lot of cute stuff and I want to start showing my card collection from these cute cards with small Jars. We have a new mini series product called Multiple Honey Jar Die-n-stencil, with which you can stencil cut out a ton of mini jars in minutes! 

For my first card I stenciled the jars on the white card panel by mowing the stencil up and down. I stamped the cute faces and the bows using a coordinating stap set - Honey Jar Stamp Set.

For the next card I made the Jars with a strawberry jam :) I cut them out with the coordinating die. 

They are perfect for creating the cutest card backgrounds! 

Honey jars without the bees? Can't be! Here are a few cards with our new Happy Bee Die set. I used it with Sweet Poppy Die to create a fun scene on the card.

Another flower set we have this month is Sweet Daisy Die. And you can stamp the cute faces on the flowers too!

Or you can create the scene with a birthday party using Beehive Die Set :)

I colored the die cut with alcohol based markers to add more details. 

Sometimes I like to create clean and simple cards and here is my variation of CaS card with bees. I cut out a small opening with Window Trio 3 Die for my bees. I also decorated the card with a honeycomb die cut. I cut it out using Outlined Hexagons Die.

Now let's move on to classic birthday cards with balloons :)
Here are a couple of examples I created with Balloon Background Die and Balloon Background Stencil Trio. I designed those products to be used together or separately.

On this card I cut out some balloons from the leftover paper that I foiled with a Random Dots Foil plate.

And here I added more shiny elements. I cut out the smallest balloons from a gold glitter paper.

And ofcourse you can apply inks over the white glitter cardstock to get an extra shimmy card!

Sometimes I'm struggling with a masculine cards, but balloon dies can be used on any card. I cut out Outlined Balloons and placed the die cut on a dark grey cardstock. I created the star background using
Scattered Stars Die. Behind the grey panel I attached the silver glitter paper to make the stars shine. 

And here are a couple of cards I made using Layered Party Hats Die. 

I hope you like this release!

Waffle Flower April release Blog Hop

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the Waffle Flower April Release Blog Hop! I’m happy to be hopping with the folks from Waffle Flower to show you all the fun new stuff 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!

Next on the hop is Nichol Spohr!

  Let's start with the new butterflies, we have them as dies, stencils. 

  The first two cards I made with a see-through butterfly openings and hidden messages inside. I used Butterfly Shaker Die and Butterfly Shaker Coloring Stencil.

For my next card I used the same die used Butterfly Shaker Die but with a plastic butterfly window to create a rainbow shaker card. JJ's Rainbows Papers work perfectly with the butterfly!

The Butterfly Shaker Coloring Stencil also can be used with the glimmer paste for the extra shine on the wings! 

And I added a couple of vellum wings layers.

This month we have a new size of basic dies - A6 Layers Die. I created two cards with a smaller butterflies, because the negative die cut from Window Trio 2 Die was too pretty to throw away :).

Also on this card I used a Tiny Crosses Texture Die, this die is a bit smaller than A2, but it does not have the cutting edge, so it can be easily used even with a bigger panel like this one - A6 size.

The second card I decorated with a small flowers from Larkspur - July Birth Flower.

  Another fun die in our April collection is Stitching Butterfly Die. This die set includes a coordinating die that cuts the entire butterfly, making it a breeze to create stunning designs. 

   While I'm not usually one for stitching on cards (it can be time-consuming), this design lets me stitch as many as I desire (even a few stitches only :)). In fact, I was able to add three butterflies to my next card!

  

I cut out the butterfly 3 times without the coordinating day on light pink cardstock and picked the matching color threads.

And on  this card I used the both dies from the Stitching Butterfly Die set, as weelll as one of the dies from Flutter By Trail Die.

  For those who crave dimension in their card designs, the Pop-up Butterflies Panel Die is a game-changer. This cute panel die has no cut edge on the sides, and instead cuts out small butterfly wings that can be easily popped up with your fingertips or a thin palette knife.

  At first I applied different colors of distress ink on the white A2 card panel, next I cut out a butterfly panel from a black cardstock. I pop up the wings and attached the black panel on a colored base.

On my next card I left all the wings flat and colored them with a coordinating stencil - Duo-tone Butterfly Stencil Duo and distress inks. I cut out a little circle frame using Pinking Circle Frames Die and inside of the frame I added a bit of stiching. I cut out the wholes using - Nesting Dotted Circles Die.

   Rather than cutting out the butterflies, I simply applied distress inks through the Duo-tone Butterfly Stencil Duo onto a colored cardstock to create my nest card. Also I stamped and cut out the sentiment using For the Ladies Combo. 

Should I stop with the butterflies? Just a few more cards! :) Because we have a one more cute stencil that works alone or with the Butterfly Shaker Die. This stencil called - Butterfly & Daisy Stencil.  

This versatile stencil allows you to effortlessly layer designs in a beautiful butterfly shape. Use it with glitter paste -> 

or with Distress Inks only ->

Cut out a butterfly window and add more butterflies inside using this stencil :) 

Or make a fancy dramatic two tone card with a gold accents. 

At last I want to show some floral cards. We have a new foil plate in our foiling family - Zig Zag Foil Plate. It works with previous releases of Zig Zag stencils. 

  On my next card I simply applied distress ink over the foiled pattern without the coloring stencil. I decoareted the card with a cute flower - Sketched Sweet Pea Bundle and clear bubbles. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and looking through this lifetime post :)

Next on the hop is Nichol Spohr!

Waffle Flower March release Blog Hop

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the Waffle Flower March Release Blog Hop! I’m happy to be hopping with the folks from Waffle Flower to show you all the fun new stuff 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!

Are you struggling to create masculine cards? Don't worry, you're not alone! Many card makers find it difficult to create cards for the men in their lives. But, this month you'll find a plethora of great ideas at Waffle Flower Crafts for creating Father's Day cards, cards for brothers, and simple, encouraging masculine cards.

   

For my first card, I used only the hat dies from the Baseball Dad Die set. By using different colored cardstock, I was able to create a vibrant and eye-catching card that any baseball fan would love.

   But if you're looking for a more traditional look, you can easily create a classic navy blue baseball hat by cutting out all the pieces from one color of cardstock. With the versatility of the Baseball Dad Die set, the possibilities for creating your perfect baseball-themed card are endless.

Whether you're creating a card for a baseball-loving dad, a sports-loving friend, or just someone who appreciates a well-crafted card, the Baseball Dad Die is a great set to play with.  

The stitches dies for the ball can be used with other sizes of circle dies. I created a lot of different size balls to create the next cards. Also, on the second card I used a pattern paper with stripes from Half-Half Lines - Enchanted Paper Pad. It reminds me of a baseball uniform :) 

I heat embossed the sentiments from #1 Dad Sentiments Stamp Set on the black cardstock using White Fine Detailed powder from Ranger. 

 

How I made this card with a shaped flap you can watch HERE. 

And the smallest ball I used with a Gold Cup Trophy. I made it using Trophy Cup Die-n-stencil and one yellow color of Distress ink called Fossilized amber.

In addition to Father's Day cards, I want to share with you a lot of PAW-some cards :) 

For this card I used Best Friend Die to cut out cute dogs from a black glitter cardstock. I attached them around a gift box (Little Gift Box Die) to create a birthday card for a dog lover. 

To create the card panel I used a new Paw Print Texture Die. It has no cut line on edge so you can easily use it only on a part of the card panel as I did. 

No - edgePaw Print Texture Die is great to decorate envelopes too! 

Here are my other cards with textured paw prints :) 

On this card I used dog stamps - Best Friend Stamp Set insted of the dies.

 

This die comes with coordinating coloring stencil. I applied white pigment ink through the first layer of Paw Print Stencil Duo. And I decorated the card with some enamel dots. 

If you like stamping as much as I do you can create a fun window scene using Best Friend Stamp Set and Window Trio 1 Die. I used only square shaped die to cut out the windows twice on the white card panel. Next I cut out inner squares from the yellow cardstock and stamped dogs on them. 

And with the second die from  Window Trio 1 Die I made a slimline card. This die set also has no line on edges, so you can use it on the bigger panels as many as you need. 

I love to create card backgrounds with focal point products like Paw Print Die. I simply cut out paws from a colored cardstock and foam mount them on the woodgrain card panel. 

And my last paw-some card features a large Bone and Bow Die. I cut out the bow from the cardstock, but I wrapped the bones with a real red ribbon to add more interest to the card. 

Last but not least a floral card with a beautiful Daffodil. I used a Sketched Daffodil Foil Plate and gold foil to create the flower. I colored it using coordinating stencil and distress inks. Next I cut out the glower with tht coordinating die and colored white edges with black Copic marker. I foam mount the flower using Foam Strips - Black 1/16" thick.

The black cards look more accurate with the black foam tape. Here are the tapes in action CLICK HERE.
