A Waffle Flower Trio
Hi readers! Happy Sunday! We’re honored to be featuring three different cards by three different Waffle Flower designers on the blog today! Please join me in a big Simon welcome to Tessa Wise, Lorena Canto, and Katie Gehring! Now let’s get to the inspiration!
Enjoy!
Even sharks are excited about Christmas! I combined the fun Tiger & Lily Stamp Set with the adorable accessories from the Stockings Stamp Set to create this tropical Christmas card. I stamped out each image and colored them with Chameleon markers. Then, I die-cut everything with the matching die-cuts. I added a strip of brightly colored lace tape to my snowy desert island to really make it pop!
Supplies:
I started with a white card base, where I stamped at the bottom edge the solid and polka dot stripes from Pattern Play stamp set using yellow and black inks. Next, I worked on a white panel. I sponged Tumbled Glass Distress Ink on the center of the panel and drew the banner lines/strings with a black pen (I used a plate as my guide). I stamped and colored with Copic markers the monkey, hat and bananas from Willy & Friends stamp set, and die cut them with the coordinating dies. Adhered everything in place, using foam tape for the monkey.
For the sentiment I did a little masking so I could build a custom one. The “Thank you” comes from How we Roll stamp set and the “a bunch” is part of a sentiment from Willy & Friends. As finishing touches, I added glitter to the bananas with a Wink of Stella clear glitter pen, and added Glossy Accents to the hat.
SUPPLIES:
I stamped the gift bags using stamps from the Little Gifts stamp set and A Homemade Christmas stamp set on white card stock. I trimmed the bags out with scissors and attached a piece of crochet string as the bag handle. I secured the string handle using a bit of washi tape on the back. I adhered the bags to a white card stock rectangle trimmed to 4″ x 5.25″ and stamped the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Stocking Stamp set. I rounded the corners of the white card stock rectangle and adhered it to a note card made from red card stock

How cute are these cards! What a great idea to extend the use of stamps by adding some holiday accessories. The monkey card is adorable! But my fav is the the shopping bags!
That Santa Shark is hilarious! Great cards. The one with all the shopping bags makes me feel like I should be doing my shopping already!
Like the whimsy.
