Waffle Flower New Release blog hop

 Hello everyone! 

We have our first release this year at Waffle Flower Crafts! Yay! I designed a lot of new fun dies for making elegant cards and of course we have a ton of inspiration from our guests and design team.  

    For my first card I used a new amazing Peony Stamps set, and new Elegant Envelope die. I colored the flower with alcohol markers, you can use a Coordinating Peony Stencil to color it with ink. I diecut the envelope from a colored cardstock and put the flower inside. I heat embossed the sentiment using Happy Anniversary Duo Stamp Set. For the card background I used a pattern paper from Half-Half Dots - Caprice Paper Pad

For the second card I used only flap dies from Elegant Envelope die set. I stamp a flower and a few leaves from Violet and Primrose - February Birth Flower and colored them with alcohol based markers. I cut out a white card panel using Deckled Frames Die. 

  On my next card I combined the Elegant Envelope die with a cute Wax Seal die to create a realistic seal on the small envelope. I cut out a seal from a red cardstock and covered the top layer with clear embossing powder. Also you can use a clear 3d medium like Glossy Accent from Ranger to create a shinny 3d top layer as on the real wax.

Below you can find my example of using the Glossy Accent on the Wax Seal die cut. 

On this card I cut out a wax seal to hold a small bouquet on the thank you card. I stamped the sentiment using the Elegant Sentiments stamp set.

And I went a bit crazy and created a card background with colorful wax seals :) I  embellished the card with the enamel dots in matching colors.

The wax seal die set includes some cute additions like small bee, tiny heart and others. After I finished the previous card I got some colorful leftover pieces and I decided to make another card with them! Just look how pretty negative die cuts are! 

Next I want to share a few cards using Elegant Frames Die set. I made two shakers and one regular card with this die set. 

For this card I used a negative die cut with a silhouette to create a shaker full of small shiny crystals. 

The frame die from the Elegant Frames Die set works with previously released Shaker Puffy die and plastick Puffy Circle Shaker covers. So. I used one of the plastic covers to create a bright birthday shaker card. 

For those 3 cards I combined Elegant Frames Die set with Violet and Primrose - February Birth Flower.

And here is the example with  Glossy Accent on the Wax Seal Die cut. 

I heat embossed a small sentiment inside of it using a stamp from Special Delivery Sentiments.

  To create a big envelope (it can be turned to a real one) I used a pattern paper from Christmas Stripes Paper Pad and a rectangle nesting die. I cut out a flap using Elegant Envelope die set with white and red glitter cardstock. 

Next on the hop is Laura Bassen!
