Waffleflower December Release Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAYS!)

5 Dec

Good morning!  I am so excited to be a stop on the hop celebrating the December release from Waffleflower Stamps!  Today I’m sharing two cards using products from the release!

Thinking of You by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Waffleflower

I just adore the series featuring this girl and her adorable cat!  I kept my card simple and stamped the image with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Then I colored it with copics and added a little stippling around the outline of the image.  I’m amused that without consulting each other, Emily and I both colored this stamp with similar color schemes but made the girls look like ourselves. Ha!

Thinking of You by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Waffleflower

Then I die-cut the largest Stitched Layers die from black cardstock and framed the image.  Finally I heat-embossed the sentiment on black cardstock with white embossing powder, trimmed it down to a fishtail banner and adhered it to the card!

Lettuce Always Be Friends by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Waffleflower

My second card uses those fun punny lettuce heads!  I stamped them with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder before coloring them with copic markers.  I die-cut them with the coordinating dies and added a little spectrum noir clear sparkle.  I stamped the Halftone Background onto kraft cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with gold tinsel embossing powder.  Then I added another Stitched Layers frame of black cardstock over the kraft cardstock and adhered my lettuce with foam mounting tape. I stamped the sentiment on black cardstock and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder before trimming it down to a label.  Finally I adhered it behind the lettuce arms so it looked like they were holding the sign!

And that’s it!

To celebrate this release, Waffleflower is giving away three $25 gift certificates!  Leave comments on all the hop stops for the most chances to win! Leave a comment before 11:59pm ET on December 10th and the winners will be announced on the Waffleflower blog on December 12th.  You should have arrived from Rebecca’s blog and Caly is your next stop!

Thanks so much for visiting and have an amazing day!

    Did you heat emboss the background of the lettuce card? It looks so amazing. I like your color choices on the girl with cat card.

    I think every cat person want to color this gal like themselves with their cat (I know I do!). And wow, the gold tinsel embossing powder looks beautiful on the kraft. The halftone stamp is such a great, versatile background stamp. Thanks for sharing with us!
