Waffle Flower November Release Blog Hop

 Hello everyone!

Welcome to the Waffle Flower November 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!

This month, we have the most cozy and adorable collection. Grab your favorite book, a cozy blanket, and your cat, and enjoy a peaceful, rainy November safely. :) 📚🐾

Let's begin with the card featuring my dream cabinet! 📚✨ I've designed this delightful Simple Bookcase Die, complete with a small interactive element. You can open the top right door and place a hidden message on the shelf.

We have new die set to mix with the previously reliesed Shelves Additions Die called Shelf Add-ons Die. I used some ot those dies to decorate the shelves. 

Simple Bookcase Die is quite large die that allows you to make a shaped card by trimming a standard card base. For a fantastic finish, consider using woodgrain cardstock. The textured look adds an extra layer of charm to your card.

For this card I also used Cat-a-log Combo, to cut out a bunch of small books and I stamped funny cat-related titles on them.

We also have another bookshelf, this time with a more modern style - Three-Tiered Shelf Die. To achieve a dimensional 3D effect, go ahead and add shading to the shelves. I personally used Vintage Photo Distress ink and the new small Shader brushes 2+ for this technique.

I adore dimensional cards with a pop-up effect! And using Inside Pop-up Shelves Die I can create a realistic cute and cozy scene inside of the card.  

And let's not forget the fun and utterly purr-fect stamp sentiments Pet Thoughts Stamp Set (Pet Thoughts Matching Die) and Purrfect Sentiments Stamp Set (Purrfect Sentiments Matching Die)! I can hardly contain the cuteness when I'm stamping those adorable cat 'thoughts' in little bubbles." 🐾😸

For all the toe-bean lovers we have a fun Paws Up Die that can be used for cards and for making the most adorable bookmarks. 

Can you guess what's inside of this gift box from the cat? I'm sure there is a piece of my favorite plant.

Bookmarks look super fun! 

Last but not least - 2 in 1 combo! The bookshelf die with no no-waste stencils :) You can cut out Simple Shelves Die from different cardstock, use the frame to decorate the card with cats and books and all inner die cuts you can turn into big oversized books with the Simple Books Stencil. How fun is that?

Let's dive into those cozy fall vibes!  This month, we've got some fantastic fall-related products, and I can't wait to share them with you. First up, we have the super cute and fun 'Multiple Fall Leaves Combo' set, featuring a detail die, matching die stencil, and stamp. You can use them all together or mix and match for endless possibilities. 

For my first card, I created a delightful leaf-filled background. I cut out the veins a couple of times, overlapping the die, and then brought those leaves to life with the stencil and our new Shader Brushes +1. I stamped few leaws on the Postage Collage die cuts and added a sentiemnt. 

For my next card, I decided to go all in on leaves! It's so convenient to create a bunch of leaves with this set—the stencil and die perfectly match, allowing you to cut out multiple leaves at once. 

To make them stand out, I used a big wood slice as a background, crafted with the Woodgrain Die. It adds a charming rustic touch to the whole design.

The Woodgrain Die is fantastic for crafting realistic wood-themed cards, perfect for nature lovers. To make my card even more lifelike, I added Flower Soft to create a mossy texture on the wood slice. It's all about those delightful details! Also, I cut out a few Fern leaves with the Dainty Ferns Die.

These leaves are just the right size to fill the openings of the Postage Collage die cut, making it ideal for crafting fall-themed thank-you cards. You can either stamp the leaves or add die-cut elements. I stamped details all over the card using Postage Collage for Fall Stamp Set.

Speaking of the Postage Collage die, we've introduced a new stencil in this series: the Postage Collage Fall Stencil. This stencil opens up a world of creative possibilities! You can replace the background pattern stamp with a sentiment or skip the pumpkin faces layer for a more traditional card look. Versatility at its best!

 

We've added another fun addition to our favorite series - the new Pop-up Fall Leaves Panel Die, complete with the matching stencil, Fall Leaves Background Stencil.  

How I made some of those cards you can watch on Waffle Flower Youtube channel HERE

This month, we're thrilled to introduce our incredible new Folk Art collection - featuring stencils, dies, and foiling plates! If you loved our Christmas Postage stencil, you'll be delighted to discover that the cute reindeer is now available as a full-size die! Isn't it absolutely adorable?

The matching die for the Folk Art Stencil offers versatile cutting options! You can create the full thin frame (as seen above) or go for the inner and outer frames (as shown below). For my second card I used new Christmas critters Stamp set called Under the Tree Stamp Set. 

The  works with the foil Folk Art Frame Foil Plate. You can skip the last layer of the Folk Art stencil and use the foil plate to add extra shiene to your card.

 

The Folk Art Frame Matching Die is designed to perfectly complement the Folk Art Frame Foil Plate. Here's a handy tip: You can omit the final layer of the Folk Art stencil and utilize the foil plate to add an extra layer of shimmer to your card.

For this card, I incorporated the exquisite Layered Ornament Die from last year's enchanting Christmas collection. 

I adore experimenting with non-traditional colors for my Christmas cards! This time, I opted for a stunning combination of blue and orange inks. The focal point features the Folk Art Framed Bird Stencil, accompanied by a small sentiment stamp from the Holiday Cheer Sentimentscollection. To add a finishing touch, the oval dies from the Folk Art Bird Di set flawlessly cut out the inner opening in the foiled oval.

And here is a card made with Folk Art stencils only. I cut out the central oval pieace using on of dies from Folk Art Bird Die. 

Don't miss the festive detail in the  Folk Art Frame Foil Plate  - a charming Christmas tree design! It pairs perfectly with the matching stencils and Folk Art Tree Die for crafting holiday magic.

You can use the Folk Art Tree Die as-is, without stenciling. Simply cut it out from pattern paper and add glitter paper for extra flair. Also, I cut out the card panel from light pink cardstock using the  Folk Art Background Die, then colored it with a blend of pink and white pigment inks.

Adding to the fun, there's thePop-up Tree Die! I paired it with the matching stencil, applying light blue ink through the first layer and white glitter paste through the second stencil for a whimsical touch.

Last but certainly not least, a super adorable and cheerful Christmas card featuring the Doodled Chevron Foil Plate,  Two-step Chevron Stencil Trio, and the Folk Art Floral Die. I used Opal (half-transparent) foil to foil the pattern and then added pink and green ink through one of the Chevron stencils over the foiled design.

or a double-color pattern, just flip over the Chevron stencil.

This month we have a lot of "sweet products" as well as Tropical kit dies , and stamp set - Tropical Sentiments Stamp Set,  which are now available for individual purchase. 

For my first card, I used the Tropical kit die. I cut out a parrot and leaves from colorful cardstock, arranging them together. I added flair by hot foiling the card panel with the Splatters Foil Plate and Spellbinders Glimmer Foil Prism. To amp up the charm, I included a tiny strawberry using the Fruity Icons Die, held by the parrot. A fitting sentiment from the Fruity Stamp Set tied it all together.

You can create another delightful summer card using the Doodle Print Stencil and the previously released Orchid Flower Die set. I have a soft spot for tropical-themed birthday cards myself :)

And here is a card with a foil version of Doodle Print pattern. I used a Doodle Print Foil Plate with gold foil over the orange cardstock and added brown ink on the edges of the card panel.

We've given a fresh update to our well-loved Duo-tone Tropical Leaves Stencil and even introduced a matching panel die for it - Pop-up Tropical Leaves Texture Die

For my next card I used green ink and gold glitter paste to decorated the die cut leaves. I added a mat gold cardstock underneath, which becomes visible when the leaves are slightly raised.

  I used the stencil alone to make charming flat card backgrounds. With blue inks, I created a lovely backdrop for a chocolate cake. The Stacking Cake Die helped me to create the cake, which I colored with Distress inks. For an extra touch, I added cute strawberry die-cuts to decorate the cake.

The small strawberry die is incredibly versatile, allowing you to craft an entire fruit cake with ease.

The Stacking Cake Die works with Inside Pop-up Stacks die and I made a dimensional anniversary cake inside of my next card.

I added cute birds from Jungle Party Combo and stamped a sentiemnt from Happy Anniversary Duo Stamp Set

With rhose cute little critters - Jungle Party Combo  I made another summer card.

Now, let's dive into the realm of the sweetest and juiciest cards! Using the Fruity Icons Die, I cut out petite fruits from vibrant cardstock and added a touch of color using alcohol-based Copic markers. To convey the sentiment, I used the Oversized Sweet Word Die and gold mirror cardstock. Elevating the elegance, I hot foiled the card panel with the Splatters Foil Plate.

I used the leftover fruit die cuts from the first card for creating another fruity card background.

Also we have new fun stencils for creating oversized fruits on the card or full fruit cards - Oversized Fruit Stencil! 

The matching sentiments are super fun! For both of my cards I used a Fruit Sentiments Stamp Set.
