Waffle Flower Crafts NEW Release: Stitched Love

Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! Please welcome back the fabulous Channin Pelletier as a guest on our blog today! She is using BRAND NEW Waffle Flower Crafts stamps that are perfect for Valentine’s Day or anytime you’d like to share some love! Be sure to watch the video and enjoy!

Hello everyone! It’s Channin here and I’m thrilled to on Simon Says Stamp’s blog today sharing how to create this adorable card using some new products from Waffle Flower Crafts!

I just love all the cross stitch-themed sets by Waffle Flower and this Stitched Love Stamp Set is definitely another winner. I love that there are matching dies making positioning these pears an absolute breeze!

First, I stamped a woodgrain background on an A2 card base (8 ½” x 5 ½”) made from white cardstock using the Layering Woodgrain Stamp Set. I used Waffle Flower inks, My Pleasure and Tickled Pink. I then stamped both pears from the Stitched Love Stamp Set in Distress Oxide Twisted Citron on some white cardstock. Then without even cleaning the stamps, I partially inked the pears with Distress Oxide Peeled Paint and stamped again. This creates a gradation on the pears and creates a nice sense of volume. Next, I stamped the second layer for the pears in Peeled Painted, then the stems in Walnut Stain, and lastly, their little faces in VersaFine Onyx Black. I then stamped the largest heart from the set in My Pleasure and then partially inked it up in Candied Apple and stamped the heart again. Next, I die cut the images out with the Stitched Love Matching Dies and then stamped a sentiment on card front in VersaFine Onyx Black. Lastly, I adhered the die cut images with foam tape.

Thank you for joining me today! Have a wonderful day!

~Channin
