Holy Night

Today I'm playing along at I Spy With My Little Eye.. Something Festive for Christmas!

I love when a company starts with a product - like the Waffle Flower Open Book, or Postage Collage Series just as examples and then continues to add new products that work together with it. So if you have this Open Book Die, you'll find that there are different stencil designs to ink the pages.

I used the Open Book Nativity stencil set this time. There's also a coordinating stamp set with sentiments designed to work with the nativity images.

I layered the book over a Starburst Panel and then added some foliage from the Poinsettia Cluster die set.

Wishing you a blessed holiday season filled with light and love.

Quilted Kitties and Exclusive Waffle Flower Discount Code

Sending you a little cozy today! I don't know about you but it's getting chilly here! Have you seen the Tiny Square Texture cover plate from Waffle Flower? It's meant to look like a panel sewn quilted panels.

There are a few different stencil images that are coordinated to work perfectly on the panel including a floral, a geometric design and these Patchwork Cats.

To tie in with the stitched theme I added some twine, a button and a punny "piecing" sentiment from the Quilted Hug Sentiment stamp set.

I've never learned how to sew or quilt and am a little envious of cards I see with actual stitching on them. This quilted texture plate gives me a little sense of satisfaction with my faux stitched kitties!

I'm linking up to the Stencil Fun challenge where Crazy is our Fame Stencils are our Game!

Have a great day!

My card today features the new Pet Angels stamp and die set. It includes a pup and a kitty, the rainbow, hearts, paw prints and sentiments.

I'm a huge pet lover and it breaks my heart when someone looses a furry friend. My girl is getting up there in age and isn't in the best health, but every day she is still here with me is a blessing. I hope this card brings comfort to someone with a heart break.

The background is a rainbow of Distress Ink applied using the Cloudy Day stencil. I just inked a cloud line, turned the stencil and inked a new color starting with the pink and working my way down to the blue.

And now the part you've been waiting for!

Beautiful Day

Today I'm playing at the Mix It Up Challenge blog! This month is Anything Goes with an optional CAS (Clean and Simple) so no excuses for not playing!

I love the simplicity of this design. I used the Postage Collage Coloring Stencil from Waffle Flower to create a simple Distress Ink blended background for each window.

Next I stamped images with Versafine Onyx Black using the Postage Collage Sunset Lake stamp set. The black ink creates silhouettes of the stamped images of marsh and waterfowl.

Finally I covered the images with the Postage Collage Blocks die cut frame cut from white cardstock. I stamped a simple sentiment directly on the frame and added a pierced solid aqua blue cardstock panel behind the windows to add a little more color.

This one has me wanting to take a walk at the local forest preserve to see what I can see! Have a great day!

Today I'm playing along at Cards 4 Galz where this time it's Build Me a Snowman! I know you all have a snowman stamp, stencil or die so no excuses for not playing along!

Waffle Flower has done it again with an addition to the Postage Collage line. This is the Nesting Postage Collage that makes a big rectangle stamp. There's two different die sets - one that cuts a perforated edge like a stamp called Nesting Postage Collage, and the clean line "block" style called Nesting Postage Collage Blocks.

There are different stencil sets too! So you can create different oversize stamp images! This is the Let it Snow set that includes the stenciled snowman, round penguin image, and the little rectangle with the stenciled mountains. The coordinating stamp set includes all the stamps on my card today.

To get all the layers I started with the Rhombus Texture die topped with the Rhombus Panel, Topped with a stenciled A2 Pierced Piercing Layer (you could also use the Postage Collage Blocks, but this is a solid die so you'd have to cut it before you color it. I inked a panel of cardstock and used the open Piercing Rectangle to help me line it up. The oversize stamps are the top layer.

I hope you find some time to play along! Have a great day and keep warm!
