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.
