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!

Next on the hop is Cathy Zielske.

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?
