WAFFLE FLOWER May 2020 RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY!

It's Waffle Flower release day today and the May released is packed with amazing new stamps and dies. There is truly something for everyone or, if you're like me, a load of things to adore! Let me jump right into my projects for this month! First up is my absolute favorite! I've been asking for a stars die for a long time! This one is 100% awesome! The Stars panel die has a whole panel of 5 point stars that work with the JJ's Rainbows patterned paper pad!

I used them on both of these cards and paired them with the sentiments from the Graduation Sentiments Stamp Set. Rainbows and stars are my two favorite things!

I loved the Stars Panel Die so much that I made a video of 5 ways to use it! You can check it out here:

Next up is the gorgeous Bouquet Builder 7 Combo illustrated by Karla Jodoin. Love all the different flowers and leaves that you can layer and create your own stunning bouquet!

Remember the Flower Girl Stamp Set? Well illustrator Cassie Loizeaux is back with the same sweet girl as a tooth fairy! Love this adorable set and the fun dies from the Tooth Fairy Dies Set.

Next up is the Graduation Combo. I love the little graduation cap panel die in black in front of silver glitter cardstock, but my favorite is using one of the cut out hats on the "Hats" sentiment from the stamp set.

Another fun one designed by JJ Bolton is this beer themed set, Home Brew. I cut the beer glass and bottle out of acetate and colored them with Copic markers. The beer foam is made from Waffle Flower Clean and Clear Enamel Dots and dots of Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Glaze.

This month there are three sets from Kamo from the around the world series. This is Hola! I had some fun with ink blending on the Modern Neutrals patterned paper to create that colorful background.

Then there is Hello from Russua. I created the mountains with the Painted Landscape Die.

And finally, there is Prost. I used Channin's technique of cutting out hedges or hills with green cardstock with the Cloudscape Panel Die and then cutting it from white cardstock for the actual clouds.

Also this month, there's the Be a Panda Die:

I used the Be Accessories dies to cut out the Panda's tie, collar and the little hearts. But there are also accessories like a crown, purse, hat and more for the Be a Unicorn...

or the Be a Cat die.

Phew! That's a lot of cards! Now for the blog hop!
