Waffle Flower Release Hop Giveaway + 5 Ways to Use Alpha Dies Video

Today is release day for Waffle Flower and there is so much goodness to share. New stamps, dies and stencils all focused on hope. First up is the Oversized Hope Combo which I used in combination with the Spring Leaves Die and the Lacy Ovals Die.
Next I combined the Caring Hands Combo with the Sunburst Stencil and those Spring Leaves made another appearance.
I love the Crocus Combo. I remember as a kid when the crocus would start popping up even when there was still snow on the ground. The funniest part was that we never actually planted crocus, but the squirrels would dig them up from neighbors' yards and bury them in our yard! Combined this stamp and die set with the A2 Lacy Layers Die.
I had a lot of fun creating this scene with the Lighthouse Stencil and Stamp Set. So easy to create the look and then I added some pencil coloring over the ink blending to create that hand drawn look.
I used pencils again on the this one! I used the Hopeful Girl Combo to create the bunny and flowers and then added them to the Oval Embroidery Hoop Die. I die cut the hoop out of kraft and gold so I could add a gold metal bracket on the faux wood hoop.
On this one I created a doily looking background with the Lacy Circle Die and added the Stencil-n-Stamp: Spring Blooms and my sentiment was made with the Retro Outline Alpha die.
Speaking of alpha dies! I didn't want the Alpha dies to get lost in all the excitement of the beautiful images of the stamps and stencils. 
So I am sharing 5 different ways to use alpha dies in this video:
