Waffle Flower Little Fairies Box Pop Up Card

I absolutely adore the work of some illustrators! This particular post is in admiration for Kamo who illustrates for Waffle Flower! I love how she draws her people and animals. They’re simply adorable. I’m slowly building my Waffle flower collection and looking at what I have, it’s mostly stamp sets designed by Kamo.

I’ve been sitting on this idea with these cute fairies from Waffle Flower’s Little Fairies stamp set for a while. I’ve had the stamp set sitting on my desk and everything but my work place shoulder injury really killed my crafty mojo. Now that I’m slowly getting back into things, this idea can finally come into fruition!

If you’re unfamiliar with box cards, you can check out my box card base tutorial below:

Front of Card

Back of Card

The patterned paper for this card was actually origami paper that I acquired at Daiso. This box card had 4 slats in the box to start.

I stamped the images from Waffle Flower’s Little Fairies and Spring Time Stamp sets with Hero Arts Intense Black Ink and coloured them with Copic Markers. I used the following marker colours for this project: R21, R23, BV08, BV04, BV02, V15. V12, V01, Y08, Y06, Y21, Y38, Y35, Y28, C5, C3, C1, 0, B05, B02, B00, B000, E95, YR00, E33, E31, YG17, YG03, G28, and G24.

This is kind of a tangent but DID YOU KNOW that coordinating dies from Waffle Flower come detabbed?! That means you don’t have to take your snips to cut them apart! You know what else is super awesome!?! Their coordinating dies also include a die that cuts around the sentiment! Isn’t that awesome?! Am I the only one that gets excited about stuff like this? lol

For the butterfly and fairy wings, I adhered Lawn Fawn’s Prisma Glitter with a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen.

I die cut 3 grassy edges using Lawn Fawn’s Meadow Borders and adhered them on tabs and onto the front of the box card and slats 1 and 3.

On my second slat, I adhered one fairy and a butterfly onto strips of acetate to make them appear as if they were floating. The purple flower was also adhered onto acetate to create depth to my scene.

I adhered a large bush image onto card stock tabs and onto my 4th slat, a small bush directly to the background of my box card, and adhered everything else to the grassy borders.

I stamped out the sentiment, “Birthday Wishes”, with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and heat embossed it with Hero Arts Sparkle Embossing Powder. I die cut out the sentiment with its coordinating die and adhered it to the front flap.

To decorate the writing space, I just adhered a bit of the grassy border to the bottom writing space and added a butterfly.

Waffle Flower Cheers Birthday Slider Card

I’m currently loving the Waffle Flower Cheers stamp set! It’s the perfect summer birthday stamp set! Anyways, it’s one of my best friend’s birthdays so I wanted to make her an awesome card! This is what I came up with:

I haven’t made a slider card for a while because I ration my pennies. I’m in Canada and Canada got rid of pennies back in 2013 so I occasionally get some from relatives that visit from the USA. I could use a washer from the hardware store but I find that the weight of the penny makes slider cards slide better.

Anyways, I stamped the cat image out with Hero Arts Intense Black Ink and coloured it with the following Copic Markers: R29, R35, R17, R20, YR68, YR16, YR02, Y08, Y06, Y02, YG09, YG06, YG03, B000, V06, V04, V01, E37, E33, E31, T7, T5, and T3. I used a Copic Multiliner to add some details to the cocktail glass and a White Sakura Gelly Roll Pen as highlights to the sunglasses.

I die cut Waffle Flower’s Rainbow Die out of white cardstock and coloured it with the same markers I used to colour the floatation device and then applied some Clear Wink of Stella. Once I was done that, I assembled the rainbow and adhered it to a piece of scrap paper and cut it out. I used Glossy Accents on each colour of the rainbow and on the floatation device and I set them aside to dry.

I die cut waves using Lawn Fawn stitched Wave Borders out of white cardstock and then for my front panel wave, I used Lawn Fawn’s Slide On Over Dies to cut a sliding channel. I also used Lawn Fawn’s Puffy Cloud Borders (white cardstock) and Mama Elephant’s Landscape Trio (vellum) to create a cloud border in the distance.

The waves were ink blended using Distress Inks Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers, and Evergreen Bough and sprayed with Pearl Perfect Pearls.

For my background card front panel, I used MFT’s Radiating Rays Stencil and ink blended using Distress Oxide inks Squeezed Lemonade, Carved Pumpkin, and Salty Ocean.

The front sentiment, “Cheers!”, was stamped with Versafine and heat embossed with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder.

I glued down my layers and then popped up my front wave with a double layer of 3M foam tape providing adequate space for the cat to slide. The cat was adhered to a penny with a double piece of 3M foam tape. I found that while I was sliding it, the cat’s head would catch on the back wave, so I added another piece of 3M foam tape to the cat’s head. I didn’t release the backing paper so the image could still move freely and provided enough elevation that it wouldn’t get caught on the wave. “Cheers!”, was also adhered to the card with 3M foam tape. I adhered my card front onto an aqua/teal coloured card base. I figured the front of the card would be a bit heavier with all the layers of cardstock and the penny, so I used my Scotch ATG Tape Glider because it’s a great super strong adhesive.

Since this was also a birthday card for my friend, I did finish the inside but I forgot to take a picture before I gave it away since finishing the insides of cards isn’t a norm for me >_<. I die cut the stitched rectangle from Mama Elephant's Basic Set (white cardstock) and cut out a matte for it that was 5" x 3 3/4" (dark blue/green card stock). I stamped the sentiment, "Wishing you and amazing day", from Mama Elephant's Picnic With Friends Stamp set in Versafine Ink and heat embossed with Clear Gloss. I finished the inside by stamping the same cat image as the front, in the bottom right corner in Mama Elephant Moonlight Ink.

You can check it out in action below. I should have turned on another light when I filmed but I didn't notice how dark the video was until after I gave it away. 😦

Waffle Flower Cheers Ink Smooshed Birthday Card

I recently bought the Waffle Flower Cheers stamp set. It was actually a combo pack with the coordinating dies and the Rainbow die. I thought it was the perfect summer birthday set and the price point was great! I’m not using the rainbow in this card but I will in my next card!

For this card, I decided to do some ink smooshing. I haven’t done this technique in a while and I felt like if I ink smooshed a bunch of blues and greens, it would make a nice water background to compliment the cat on his floatation device.

I stamped the cat in Hero Arts Intense Black ink and coloured it with the following Copic colours: Y38, Y35, YR27, R20, YG09, YG06, YG03, B000, Y08, Y06, Y02, T7, T5, and T3. I also drew some details on his cocktail glass with a Copic Multiliner and used a White Sakura Gelly Roll Pen on his sunglasses as a highlight. I also stamped out the waves and fussy cut them out.

I took a watercolour panel and die cut a border using the largest die from MFT’s Wonky Stitched Rectangle Stax. I ink smooshed Distress Inks Peacock Feathers. Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon, Evergreen Bough, and Chipped Sapphire. I sprayed the panel with Pearl Perfect Pearls diluted with water in a mini mister then adhered the fussy cut waves and a few Pretty Pink Posh Clear Mix Sequins with my Lawn Fawn Glue tube.

I stamped out the, “Cheers!”, sentiment with Versafine ink and heat embossed it with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder. I adhered the sentiment and cat on the card from with some 3M foam tape, as well as the whole wonky stitched panel to a yellow card base.

That finishes up my card! I’ll be back soon with an interactive card using this stamp set!

Waffle Flower Be Her Shaker Card

My friend’s birthday is coming up and thankfully she doesn’t really do social media so I can share her card early! I recently acquired Waffle Flower’s Be Her stamp set set and I absolutely love the unicorn image! It’s nice and big so it’s great to be the focal point of the card. I thought it would make a cute shaker card with a rainbow background.

I stamped and coloured the unicorn with the following Copic markers: RV14, RV13, YR16, YR02, B02, B00, V04, V06, YG06, YG03, Y06, Y02, W0, 0.

I had 2 cover plates with horizontal stripes that I could have opted to use for this card. I have Mama Elephant’s Classic Stripe Cover Die and Papertrey Ink’s Stripes Horizontal Cover Plate and I opted to use the Mama Elephant one because it had 6 stripes. I thought that I could put one of each color of the rainbow in each stripe (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple). I cut my 2 layers of 3M foam tape to separate each compartment of the stripe for the shaker. This is where I regretted choosing the Mama Elephant die over the Papertrey ink die. The Papertrey ink die has a wider side so it would have been easier to do a shaker card with that one instead but I persisted and finished my shaker card using the Mama Elephant die cut.

I originally had the idea to do this card with seed beads but I didn’t get a chance to go out and buy them and I wanted to make the card at that particular instant. I ended up using sequins, chunky glitter, and whatever matched that particular color of the rainbow for the shaker card.

I glued the unicorn down and die cut a stitched banner from MFT’s Blueprints 20. I heat embossed the sentiment, “how lucky I am to have you as a friend”, in Tonic Nuvo Glacier White Fine Detail Embossing Powder. This sentiment is from Mama Elephant’s Picnic With Friends stamp set. I adhered the banner onto the card with 3M foam tape.

I usually don’t do the insides of the card but for the inside I stamped, “Wishing a rainbow of happiness”, from MFT’s Rainbow of Happiness. I thought the sentiment suited the card nicely. I stamped the, “rainbow” text in a rainbow of colours using Lawn Fawn Lobster, Carrot, Sunflower, Freshly Cut Grass, Grape Soda and Hero Arts Neon Blue. I then stamped it again with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with WOW Clear Sparkle.

This card was entered into Simon Says Stamps Monday Challenge and Wednesday Challenge.

Waffle Flower Toadally Valentine’s Day Tunnel Shadow Box Card

This is my first card of 2019! I don’t usually do Valentine’s Day cards but this stamp set from Waffle Flower is so cute I couldn’t resist.

Front of Card

I started this card by stamping out all the images from Waffle Flower’s Toadally stamp set with Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink and fussing cutting out all the images. I used the following Copic Markers: G82, G85, YG17, YG11, YG06, YG03, G07, G05, R29, RV14, RV13, RV23, RV21, R20, 100, T7, and T5.

I cut my shadow box base and cut windows using stitched ovals from MFT’s Stitched Oval Stax Dienamics.

I ink blended the front and inside of my card with Distress Oxide Inks Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon, and Faded Jeans. The second layer of my shadow box was ink blended with Twisted Citron over then entire area surrounding the oval then ink blended with the previous colours. I wanted a subtle pattern so I stamped MFT’s Whimsical Waves Background stamp with Versamark Ink on the front and inside of my shadow box.

My sunset background panel was ink blended with Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, and stencilled Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment Ink over a MFT Radiating Rays Stencil.

I die cut a wave from Mama Elephant’s Ocean Waves Trio Dies and ink blended it with Distress Oxide Inks Faded Jeans, Broken China, and Peacock Feathers. I also sprayed the panel with water to create some droplets and sprayed it with some Perfect Pearls diluted with water. I used the water ripple stamp and stamped it with Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink around where I thought I would be placing my main images.

I thought it would be fun if I created my own sentiment. I wanted it to read, “toadally into you”, so I heat embossed, “toadally” and “into”, with WOW Bright White Embossing Powder on black card stock. “Into”, I created using Mama Elephant’s Lots of Letters Stamp set and I die cut, “you”, using MFT’s Twice The Thanks Dienamics, once with gold glitter card stock and twice with teal card stock and adhered them together.

I assembled my scene and realized it needed more, so I stamped out the music notes with Versafine Ink and heat embossed it with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder. I also die cut some hearts from Simon Says Stamps Mini Hearts Outline Dies. I brushed some Clear Wink of Stella in the solid hearts and filled them in with Glossy Accents.

I die cut the largest stitched rectangle from Lawn Fawn’s Small Stitched 4 Bar Rectangle Dies and cut a matte for it (3 1/8″x 4 9/16″) and used it for the writing space.

For the front of the card, I popped the frog, lily pad, and, “Toadally” text up with 3M foam tape.

Waffle Flower Boo Peek A Boo Halloween Card

Hey Everybody,

Unfortunately, I haven’t had much time to card lately but I’m back from a little hiatus with my one and only Halloween card this year! I had Waffle Flower’s Boo Stamp set sitting on my desk and I really wanted to use it. I’m a big fan of Waffle Flower’s Big Bear and Bird line of stamps and this stamp set is no exception. It’s so cute!!!

I used a bunch of different products for this card, which I will list below:
1. Waffle Flower Boo Stamp Set (Bear, Ghosts, Bats, ‘Boo…’)
2. MFT Witch Way Is The Candy Stamp Set (For the moon and cloud)
3. Lawn Fawn Costume Party Stamp Set (‘Halloween’)
4. Mama Elephant Landscape Trio (Cloud border)
5. Lawn Fawn Everyday Sentiment Banner (thinnest banner)
6. Mama Elephant Happy Script Die
7. Lawn Fawn Zig Zag Circle Stackables (second smallest circle)

I used the following Copic Colours:
Ghosts: B00, R20
Cloud: B00
Moon: Y08, Y06, Y11
Bat: BV29, BV25, BV23
Bear: YR07, YR04, YR02, YR23, Y21, E47, E43, E41, E37, E33, R27, YG06, BV08, BV04, BV02, BV00, R20

I cut 3 pieces of card stock for this card.
1. 4 1/4″ x 8 1/4″ (Score at 2 3/4″)- FRONT
2. 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ (Score at 4 1/4″)- INSIDE
3. 4 1/4″ x 5 3/4″ (Score at 5 1/2″)- BACK

I die cut the window using the second smallest circle from Lawn Fawn’s Zig Zag Circle Stackables out of my front and inside pieces and making sure the windows line up.

I assembled the card base using Score tape. I started with the back piece and put Score tape on the small flap and adhered it to my inside piece as if to make a “z” shape out of the two pieces. I lined up my windows on the front and inside pieces and adhered them together. The small flap on the front panel gets tucked between the inside and back piece and creates the surprise when you open the card.

For the background on the front and inside of my card, I ink blended Distress Inks Twisted Citron, Mermaid Lagoon, Carved Pumpkin, Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot. I also dipped a toothbrush in watered down white acrylic craft paint and sprayed the background with and finished it off with a spritz of pearl Perfect Pearl mixed with water in a Mini Mister.

In the window I stamped, “Boo…” with Versafine and heat embossed it with Hero Arts Sparkle Embossing Powder. On the small flap of my front panel that gets tucked between my inside and back piece, I ink blended with Distress Ink Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed. I wanted the centre to be little lighter so I blended a bit of Hero Arts Unicorn Ink over the Squeezed Lemonade and sprayed it with a gold Perfect Pearl diluted with water in a Mini Mister before adhering my ghost in the centre.

The cloud borders were die cut from a textured off white card stock from Recollections.

For my inside sentiment I die cut the happy script twice- once out of white 110 lbs card stock and once out of black glitter card stock and I adhered them together. “Halloween”, was heat embossed with Ranger Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder on a banner of lime green piece of card stock.

That finishes up my card. I hope you guys like my one Halloween card for this year. I had a BLAST making this and am so excited to make more of these kinds of cards.

Waffle Flower Get Well Soon Card

I’m loving Waffle flower lately!!! Sometimes it’s nice to make simple and normal cards. I recently got some Clarity Stencil Brushes and wanted to try them out so I planned to do a simple ink blended background with the large bed image from the Get Well Soon Stamp Set. This is how it turned out:

I masked the off the wall and lightly ink blended with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink. Then I used the opposite side of the mask and masked off the ground and ink blended the wall with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink. I cut out the panel with the stitched rectangle from Mama Elephant’s Basic Set then proceeded to stamp the sentiment, “Get Well Soon”, with Versafine Ink. I heat embossed it with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder and set the panel aside.

I stamped out the image of the cat with the bed, the bowl, and the ice pack with Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink and coloured the images with Copic Markers. I used the following colours: BG78, BG75, BG72, BG23, BG15, E37, E33, E31, Y11, W0, W2, and 0.

I cut out a matte using some kraft card stock and the criss cross border rectangle from Mama Elephant’s Sew Fancy Die Set.

I adhered my card together and used 3M foam tape to pop up my ink blended panel, as well as the cat image in bed.

That finishes up my card. This card was entered into The Daily Markers Coloring Challenge here, as well as Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge here.

Day 27- 30 Day Coloring Challenge: Waffle Flower Jungle Birthday Box Pop Up Card

I absolutely fell in love with Waffle Flower’s Jungle Birthday Stamp Set and I impulse bought it back in February when it released! I really am quite fond of making box pop up cards. Really, I like trying to see how much I can fit into a box so I love stamp sets that I also include scene building stamps. This stamp set is perfect and includes different kinds of greenery from various leaves, to vines, and small trees. The monkeys are also absolutely adorable and I’m so happy that there are so many of them included in the stamp set doing various things.

This is what I came up with:

If you’re unfamiliar with box pop up cards, you can check out my box card base tutorial video below:

For this card, I used patterned paper from DCWV Confetti Paper Pad and I have 3 slats in my box to start.

Front of Card

Back of Card

When I start cards like this, I usually have a general idea of what I’m going to do so I stamp out all the images and usually multiple images of the scene building elements. I used the following Copic colours:

Trees: E37, E35, YG00, YG17, YG09, YG11, YG03
Leaves: YG11, YG17, YG09, G02, G07, YG03, G05, G82, G99, G85, YG00

Butterflies, V04, V01, R14, R17, B00, B02
Monkeys: E49, E47, YR02, YR000, E31, E33, E37, E57, E59, E43
Elephant: C5, C3, RV23, RV21, B00, B02, Y06
Tiger: YR02, Yr16, R29, R35, Y06, BV04, RV21
Parrot: B34, B37, 100, C7, Y06, Y11, R29, R35, YG06, YG11, R14
Presents: B00, B02, YR02, YR16
Dirt Mound: E33. E31

I added Clear Wink Of Stella to the presents and butterflies.

This is what I adhered onto each layer:

Front of pop up: parrot, palm frond, butterfly, vine, climbing monkey
First slat: Leaf, 2 presents, dirt mount, elephant, mini tree
Second Slat: Cake, Tiger, dirt mound, Monkey with grapes, vine, hanging monkey
Third Slat: 5 small trees, 2 butterflies
Background: 3 small trees, vine, Monkey with bananas

The sentiment is from MFT’s Jungle Friends stamp set and was heat embossed with Lawn fawn White Embossing Powder. It says, “Happy birthday, party animal”.

Day 24- The 30 Day Coloring Challenge: Waffle Flower Spring Time Box Pop Up Card

Hey Everybody!

Lately, I’ve been loving Waffle Flower stamps. In particular, I LOVED their Spring release and ended up buying 3 sets. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, I love stamp sets that have elements that I can scene build with and the Spring Time stamp set is definitely one of them.

If you’re new to box cards you can check out my box card base tutorial link below:

In this card I used 3 slats in my box to start. My green patterned paper I used on the box was from Craft Smith Sweet Mint Paper Pad, and the pink floral paper is some origami paper from Daiso!

Front of Card

Back of Card

I used this stamp set in combination with Waffle Flower’s Tea For Two Stamp Set. There was just one flower stamp from that set that I felt really fit in with the card.

I used the following Copic markers for my card:
Bunny: W2, W0, 0, RV23, RV21
Bush: YG09, YG06, YG03, RV14, RV13
Pink Flower: RB23, RV21, RV10, Y06
Purple Flower: V15, V12, BV000
Dangling Flower: RV14, RV13, RV10, RV04, V04, Y06, G07, G05, G02
Sunflower: Y17, Y15, Y06, E47, E43, G07, G05, G02
Aqua Flower and butterfly: BG15, BG23, B00, G07, G05

I used Lawn Fawn’s Meadow Border and I cut 3 grassy borders out of 3 different shades of textured green card stock. I glued tabs on them and adhered them into my box card base.

I adhered my butterflies onto acetate strips and then adhered all my images into my card.

I die cut the second smallest circle from MFT’s Stitched Mini Scallop Circle Stax and gold glitter embossed the sentiment, “Have a lovely day” from Simon Says Stamps Lovely Spring Stamp Set.

I added another bunny onto the back of the card where people write and I finished up the card by brushing some Clear Wink of Stella on the flowers and butterflies.
