Waffle Flower December Release Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAYS!)

5 Dec

Good morning!  I’m so excited to be a stop on the hop for the fabulous December Valentine’s release from Waffle Flower!  Here’s what I created today using the adorable Sending Love and Secret Admirers set!

Sending Love and Secret Admirers by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Waffle Flower

To start I stamped the hearts and mice from Secret Admirers and Sending Love onto white cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I colored them with copics and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies.  I also stamped the sentiment onto a scrap of white cardstock and die-cut it with the speech bubble die from Secret Admirers.

Next I blended a panel of strathmore bristol cardstock with abandoned coral, picked raspberry, worn lipstick, and spun sugar distress oxide ink and splattered it with water.  I blotted off the excess and dried it with my heat gun.  Then I spritzed the panel with shimmer spray for a little extra sparkle!  I set that aside to dry and then die-cut the retired Pinking Layers from white cardstock and layered it to the background panel at an angle.

I adhered my mouse and her sentiment and hearts to the front of the card with a mix of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape.  Then I added my other mouse to the inside of the card.  Finally I added a liberal amount of spectrum noir clear to the girly mouse and hearts and added a thin layer of nuvo crystal glaze to the hearts to finish the card!

And that’s it!  I hope my card inspired you today and I’d love to know your favorite products from the December release!!  As you can probably imagine if you’ve been a follower for any length of time the Harpy Birthday set might just be my MOST FAVORITE STAMP SET EVER and you’ll definitely be seeing it here VERY soon! 😉

To celebrate the blog hop, Waffle Flower is giving away $25 gift certificates to THREE lucky winners. You can leave a comment on this blog and along the hop by 11:59pm ET on 12/7/19 for your chance to win. Winners will be chosen at random from the comments left on any of the posts in this blog hop and will be announced on the Waffle Flower blog on 12/9/2019. You should have arrived from Rebecca and I’m your last stop!  If you’re just getting started you can head to the Waffle Flower blog for the complete hop list!
