Hello!!! Welcome to the Waffle Flower January Release Blog Hop! Before I dive into my cards, some information about this release from Waffle Flower:

---

We’ve added Enamel Dots to our line. They are customized to include lots of the tiny dots that our cardmakers love. We have three designs for this release. The Clean & Clear set includes both white and clear dots, perfect for adding dimension and shine to any color combination. Stardust includes white and silver glitter dots. Up & Running features 7 colors of dots from the rainbow of Waffle Flower ink colors. Don’t forget to check them out in the ink section on our website!

We have 5 new stamp sets and 7 dies in this release.

The big, elegant flowers from Magnolia (stamp, die, combo) was illustrated by Karla Jodoin and we have many more beautiful designs by her to come! These sets are great for coloring. The exquisite details in the stamp set will make it easy for even beginners to enjoy. You will also find the the sweet Group Hug (stamp, die, combo), illustrated by Big Bear & Bird. We just love how this brings us a warm and fuzzy feeling. The Here for You (stamp, die, combo) is designed by our fellow cardmaker and designer, JJ Bolton. It has all the sentiments you need to send a heartfelt message to your friends and family in their time of need. The Favorite Valentine (stamp, die, combo), illustrated by Kamo, is the cutest for creating valentines for the classroom and beyond. We also included a 3×4 Spice Pot stamp set for quick cards this month.

The two stand alone panel dies in this release were designed by JJ Bolton and they both work great with the Here For You Stamp Set. The Tile Panel (die) is a modern but classic pattern and is so versatile that it can be used for both feminine and masculine cards. The Painted Landscape (die) is a unique die that makes it easy to create a mountain landscape scene with depth and texture, all in one layer!

I created a bunch of samples for Waffle Flower in December and had to dig through my photos to pull out the ones for this release! I am lucky to have one of each card that I created…makes me want to shoot myself in the foot for not taking my usual photos with props! With that said…please forgive me if I don’t fully remember the details on how these cards were created – but I think they’re fairly straight forward :).

My First card is made using the Group Hug set. I love these sweet friends and used Copic markers to color the big image, die-cut it, and then propped it up over an ink-blended background using Distress Oxide ink. The sentiment is embossed over black cardstock using white embossing powder.

My second card uses the Magnolia stamp set. I colored these with Copics also and this time, embossed the sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear embossing powder since the sentiment is solid. I layered the individual images to arrange a floral bouquet and hand-drew a stitched frame on craft cardstock.

Last and not least, I have a card made using the new Favorite Valentine set. I stamped and die-cut all the images and ink-blended the background. I added a die-cut frame and adhered it to the ink-blended background using foam adhesive. All of the images are also added using foam adhesive for dimension.
