I am thrilled to be Hopping with Nina and the fabulous Waffle Flower designers and lots of other wonderful guests today! This month, the Waffle Flower release is full of stamps, dies, and stencils that celebrate the hope and joy of Spring!
If you arrived here from Understand Blue's Lydia Fiedler you're right on track. If you'd like, you can always start from the beginning with Nina at Waffle Flower.
First up [might be my favorite] is Jumbo Flower Pot I'd love to live in a home where every window was hung with one of these planters full of flowers! I've made mine complete with a 'coconut grass' liner by stamping the pot onto kraft card, and dabbing it with lots of color - water colored this time! My friendly Hello is from another WF set I've loved: Crocus. If you look closely, you'll see something new from their stencil department - Brick Wall.
There is a whole lot to love from each of the Hop participants - so it's time for me to send you on your way to Rachel Arribas where you're bound to be amazed!

Michele, your cards are all beautiful and clever! The flower card with your neutral palette is a all-time-favorite now! ;) Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
ReplyDeleteAmazing cards from one of my favorite card designers!Wonderful new products and you've shown them off in style! So happy to see you in the line up!
ReplyDeleteWell now that's a great way to start my morning - a gorgeous deck of cards! You do play cards well my friend! Who else could make brown flowers gorgeous?!?!? These are all wonderful - I don't try to pick favorites any more when I am here - too difficult!
ReplyDeleteThis was a wonderful trip strolling (or scrolling) through your blog post. Congratulations on your Guest Design gig...you've done them up proud. I'm crazy about both your cards using the Jumbo Flowers Pot...that coco mat looks so real. Cover dies are so handy and this new one looks very versatile, as you've proven. Love how you get so much out of your supplies like the postage stamp dies...think you took that stamp set to another level (pun intended).
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous designs!
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful cards!! I especially love that first one...so realistic looking ...hanging on a brick wall underneath someones window!
ReplyDeleteHi, Michele - Well, I guess I am really dense. I just (duh) put together that you are "I card everyone" that I have seen in so many hops/comment sections. It's nice to have a face to put with the name! I am in awe of your talent, let me say. I love the flowerbasket that is so colorful, the teacher card with the 'superhero' feel and the little stars in the spaces cut with that beautiful die... as well as the second "teacher" card with the seaglass-colored shadow and the yellow accent. I also like the greenery card with the postage-stamp aspect that was posted toward the bottom. I truly appreciate your sharing these items and find your work very inspirational.

The first card with colorful blooms is very pretty, but I like the Miss You card even more. It has a timeless feel to it that just appeals to me.
ReplyDeleteWOW, what a collection of gorgeous cards, Michele...I fell for the first one and enjoyed the followers.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful. My favorite two use the Jumbo Flower Pot. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are fantastic! The Heat embossed miss you card is so elegant. I love those neutral colors! I also love the sentiments of your teacher cards! So appropriate!
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful cards!!
ReplyDeleteI am always drawn to cards that have simplicity with impact. Your basket of neutral flowers is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented; these are little works of art!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the cards that you created! I really love the jumbo flower pot set! You did an awesome job making the flower basket/pot look 3D. I just love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards with these new designs! Love the cards with the Jumbo Flower Pot!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. I really like the bouquets in the basket- both cards. Just beautiful! I would like some real ones like that LOL!
ReplyDeleteThey all are beautiful. I like how you used brown it color in the bottom of the flower basket. Beautiful coloring. Also, the none traditional coloring of the flower.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Erica K.
I absolutely love the flower basket! It's on my must have list!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are amazing! I LOVE the teacher card and what you did with that cover plate die!
ReplyDeleteWow, Michele. You really knocked this one out of the park.
ReplyDeletePretty cards!
ReplyDeleteThe first one is so realistic.
Thanks for sharing.
Your two takes on the Jumbo Flower Pot are fabulous! And, of course, it's now at the top of my wish list! The rest of the collection is top-notch as well. I especially like the teacher card!
ReplyDeleteI just love that flower box set - and your card is just lovely! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the first 2 cards. The flowers are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAll of these are stunning!
ReplyDeleteYou are the perfect addition to this hop! Each and every card is as incredible as the next. Love the daisy cover plate to bits. You know I would visit you in that house with those flower baskets! Heck, I might even help you plant them XO
ReplyDeleteLoved the cards. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteOh Michele, I feel as though I just visited my favorite nursery, strolling among the beauty and spring florals. Sweet teacher cards too! But that first basket of blooms... bliss!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection of cards and how well they show off these Waffle Flower products! Each as lovely as all the others!
ReplyDeleteFirst time I've seen your work and I'm so happy to have "found" you because your cards are amazing. They really show off the possibilties of this wonderful release.
ReplyDeleteWow! Looking at the first card I thought the basket was real. I saw the second card with the neutral colors and was blown away!!! So beautiful. Awesome cards one and all.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards!
ReplyDeleteMarisela Delgado said: Such wonderful cards! mariandmonsterd@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteLove the two teacher cards! I would have loved them before I retired.
ReplyDeleteI love all your cards you made. Your super talented!
ReplyDeleteSo many great cards! I like how you created the coconut grass planter in your first card, very clever!
ReplyDeleteOMG.. Love all 5 of your creative beauties, Michele. Each card was my favorite..all so beautifully designed. BTW... I do not think anyone I follow does neutrals better than you, my friend. I love seeing all the new products so beautifully showcased. TFS Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me! I was not particularly struck by the flower basket, but you make it look like a wrought iron frame with a fiber basket. Nor was I attracted to the daisy background die, but the background cut out can certainly give a masculine feel. Just need a knight with a coat of mail. :) The diamond backgrounds are still my favorite.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous designs, loving this new release of products.
ReplyDeletesuch wonderful cards mf....and I agree, you are such a great addition to the hop.

ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow! You have made some amazing cards Michele! I'm in love with the Jumbo Flower Pot cards, they are stunning. Love the neutral one, but really love the one with with brick behind. The teacher cards are super and yes, teachers and parents are so deserving of these words as I can imagine how tough this past year has been and still is. The Simple Stem's card is so pretty and summery looking. Love that one as well. I think you hit all these cards out the park my friend! Hugs, Brenda
