Waffle Flower November Release Blog Hop (+SALE & GIVEAWAYS!)

5 Nov

Welcome to the Waffle Flower November 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!

Today I’m sharing a card using one of the new Simple Shelves die, the adorable kitty silhouettes, and the Simple Shelves stencils!  I used distress oxide inks in teals, blues, and purples to blend over the book stencils and then added some titles and accents with the stamp set.  I also added a sentiment from Purrfect Sentiments, the cute plant from Shelf Add-ons, and finished the card with a few kitties from Catitude dies!

Earlier this month I created a video for the Sneak Peek Club using the Cat Tree House die and wanted to share it here, too!  I blended salvaged patina, peacock feathers, and uncharted mariner distress oxide ink to create the background and splattered it with water, shimmer spray, and white gouache.  Then I colored the cat tree with copics and added the gold thread around the posts to resemble the scratching posts on a cat tree.  Finally I added a few kitties from A Little Help

Next on the hop is Channin! You can find the full hop list HERE.

For today’s hop, we are giving away $25 gift certificate to THREE lucky winners! You can leave a comment on this blog and along the hop by 11:59pm EST on Saturday November 11th, 2023 for your chances to win. Winners will be chosen at random from the comments and will be announced on the Waffle Flower Blog on Winner Monday 11/13/2023.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

    Love both cards! I tried to figure out how they were made before I read the descriptions, and I didn’t. figure it out. I am in awe of the creativity and I love that dies and stencils can look so good together.

    Love these kitty creations! Great card with the silhouette cats on the bookshelf, and the second card is so fun with the cat tree! What kitty wouldn’t love to have a playground like that?
