Waffle Flower Crafts: April Blog Hop!

Hi friends! Welcome to the Waffle Flower April 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! 

I’ve created 3 cards for the occasion. For the first one I used the Butterfly Shaker Die to cut out 5 layers of a butterfly outline. I sandwiched some acetate under the first layer then adhered it over some sequins onto an ink blended background with a sentiment from Fluttering By Sentiments. 

For the background I used distress oxides in Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Tattered Rose, Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet, Faded Jeans, and Tumbled Glass.

For my second card I used the Pop-up Butterflies Panel Die to create dimension for the butterfly wings, then ink blended the wings using the Duo Tone Butterfly Stencil Duo and Concord & 9th inks in Ballet Slipper and Grapefruit.

I trimmed down the panel to be slightly smaller than an A2 card using the second largest A2 Layers Die and propped it onto a white card base. Lastly I embossed a sentiment from Fluttering By Sentiments in white on black cardstock, trimmed it down and propped it up onto the background using foam tape.

For my final card, I used the hearts from the Window Trio 2 Dies on my front panel that was trimmed down to be slightly smaller than my A2 card base. I adhered some vellum to the back and propped the panel up over some sequins onto a white card base to created a shaker with a muted effect.

Next I used the Pop-up Butterflies Panel Die on gold glitter cardstock and used scissors to remove a few butterflies of various sizes to add to the card for embellishment. I also added a flower from the Tropical release. Finally, I embossed a sentiment from Fluttering By Sentiments in white on black cardstock and used the Fluttering By Matching Die to cut it out before adhering it in the center of my card.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you like my cards! Make sure to enter the giveaway (details below) and check out the rest of the hop! Next on the hop is Rebecca Keppel!
