WAFFLE FLOWER August 2019 RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY!

Today is the day! The Waffle Flower August 2019 release is live and it is a fun one! Stick around to the end and I will share how you can enter to win a $25 gift card to Waffle Flower's shop! Here are all the cards I made with this release. Starting with a couple of cards I made with the new Bouquet Builder 5 Stamps and Dies:
I stamped the bouquet in white pigment ink on navy cardstock (can we please talk about how my spell check constantly changes cardstock to yardstick LOL???) and then colored the image with Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils. I made the gold stripes with the Waffle Flower Horizontal Stripes Die. I love the way the pencils look on navy cardstock!
 For this one I placed the image vertically on the card and colored the image with Copic markers.
For the background, I used the Big Dots die from this release. (I'll share more about this die in just a bit!)
Next up, is the card I made with the Make Waves Stamp Set. I stamped the images and then cut out masks to cover them up so I could ink blend on top of them. 
Then I created a shaker window for them to swim inside!
I used the same Make Waves set for this ATC card. I love the ATC Layers Die for quickly and easily creating ATC cards and layering scalloped rectangles and straight rectangles.
The Big Dots Die and Big Dots Sentiment Stamp Set is right up my alley!  I love the bold and graphic effects you can create with it and the straight graphic font is so fun!
For this one I ink blended all the dots a different color fo Distress Oxide Ink.
For this one I simply layered die cut cardstock over a different color of cardstock. So easy and yet such a bright impact!
Last, but not least, I used the Color Combos Die and the Color Combos Tag Die to organize my cardstock swatches!
I love seeing all the colors of cardstock I have and how they work together!
I created a video sharing how and why I created these cardstock swatches here:

I hope to do a whole series of organizational/swatching videos using the new Color Combos bundle! If there is something in particular you'd be interested to see, let me know!

  27. I really enjoyed your videos. Colours watching all your card stock is such a great idea. I am very colour challenged I know what I like when I see them together but putting them together is always been difficult for me so doing this actually takes a lot of the mystery out of it. Beautiful cards your flowers are coloured so lovely!
