Waffleflower Valentines Release

Hello, I have the pleasure of Guest Designing this month with the new Valentines release from Waffleflower. Before I show you what I've been making I need to let you know that there's an inspirational blog hop taking place over on the Waffleflower blog along with a giveaway.... more details at the bottom of this post :)
                           

I've had fun playing with some of the new stamps and dies which are available to buy now in the Waffleflower store....

For this card I've used the amazing new Make a Fish die which as you can see, makes the most beautifully detailed fish and looks amazing in shimmery card stock. For a simple backdrop I used two of the sentiment strip dies cut in foam and used to stamp with pigment ink and added a sentiment from the coordinating Make a Fish sentiment stamp set.

I used the cute Forever stamp set and Mini 3D bow die to make a wreath, the striped background is made using the shelf from the Morning Love stamp set...

The Morning Love stamp set is just fab... I love the style of these images and I had to make a simple shelf scene using the coordinating dies....

These final two cards use the Stitched Love stamp set and matching dies, I couldn't choose between the pears or strawberries so I had to use them both!!

Here are the details you need to know, happy blog hopping and thank you for joining me today :)

Big Birthday's

There have been a couple of significant birthdays I needed to make cards for recently and one of them was for my lovely Dad. I was totally inspired and in awe of the fabulous colouring of the wine bottle and glass on this card by the talented Francine so I had to have a go myself...

I'm pretty chuffed with how they turned out :)

The rest of the wording is made up using various stamps and alphabets sets to make a block of typography around the images...... trust me, it took a lot of planning on scrap paper!!!

This second card was for one of my hubbies work colleagues and I wasn't sure how they 

would feel about the birthday number so I played it relatively safe with subtle humour....

I spotted this sentiment on Pinterest and thought it would work with negative die-cutting 

and some pastel floral over-stamping for a feminine feel....

The Neat and Tangled Journaling Alpha dies are just so cool to use for negative die-cutting

and easy to line up too.... luckily I had no repeat letters in this phrase so I could cut them with 

two passes through the ol' Big Shot 😉

Thanks for stopping by :)
