Waffle Flower Crafts March Release Hop

I'm so happy to be hopping with my friends at Waffle Flower Crafts today!  Their March 2023 release is full of sensational products for your cardmaking pleasure!  You should have arrived here from Amanda's wonderful blog - if you get lost along the way you can always go to Waffle Flower Crafts for a fresh start here.

Here are a few of the cards I made using the new goodies they sent my way ... grab a beverage of choice, there are quite a few!


Sketched Daffodil stamp set - Copic colored.
Oversized Family Print die - with just a touch of color added.
[This fabulous background uses their Woven Pattern Foil Plate from their EGGcellent February release]


Sketched Daffodil - stamped and colored using the coordinating Coloring Stencil
[also starring their Woven Pattern Die cut in two and overlapped, and the Jumbo Checker Stencil]


Sketched Daffodil Hot Foil Plate - by the way, 
have I mentioned there is a combo set of products for this fabulous Sketched Daffodil?? 
Nina knows we want it ALL and has a 10% discounted price for the combo!
[also uses one of their Nested Egg dies - which I 'cracked open' for planting!  My sentiment
is from a favorite: Hello Friend combo]


I treated you to a sneaky peek of this cover die last week - here it is again: 
Forest Window die - with all the pieces, some more of those Best Friends dies, and the 
Oversized Friend die that would be such a great addition to a well-rounded stash!

I've simply cut all the pieces from Canson watercolor paper to send
condolences to a friend who lost her darling best friend recently.


Who has a Dad who deserves a trophy?  This Trophy die could be used for just that guy or for so many other reasons one would deserve a trophy!
I've stencil-colored it with the coordinating stencil that comes in the set!  
Isn't that a great idea?  I've added a few stars [more below]
and brought in WF's Rotating Rays stencil to bring the point home.
The #1 Dad is from another new set called Baseball Dad die set - speaking of...


... I couldn't help but use my Detroit Tiger colors here!  I found real wood cardstock for the
 'Louisville Sluggers!'  I love that the baseball comes with stitching dies! 
Their Duo-tone Star Stencil finished my card base for this all-star dad!

But, HEY, what if your #1 Dad happens to be a MOM!  I know many moms who
can run circles around many dads!  LOL  I have just the card for her:


This Tool Box set comes with every tool a girl might need to hang another shelf
in her craft studio!  I combined that Jumbo Checkerboard stencil with another
sweet stencil from February: Layered Bows stencil - aren't those bows just darling?

Wow - that's a ton, isn't it?  But that's not ALL of the newest fun from Waffle Flower Crafts!  You'll want to head over to the Release Hop - leave some love for all those crafters - and check out the full release!

Stephanie Lanzalotto said...

I have a lot of catching up to do with all of your amazing creations. These cards for the Waffle Flower release are all fantastic, as usual. One better than the next. I am very partial to the pink toolbox. I have a friend for whom this would be perfect. She can fix anything and yes, run circles around her partner as Ms. Fixit-of-the-universe. Thanks for the eye candy today.

Brenda said...

Wow, you did an amazing job showing casing this Waffle Flower release Michele! The daffodil cards are beautiful, I especially love them growing out of the egg shell. Love all the pups in the friend card, how sweet it is! The trophy card is so cool and makes anyone a star for the day. How fun is the baseball card?! No matter what your colors are, who can resist a good ball card?! My favorite is the pink tools, how sweet is this for those diy mom's out there?! Love all the variety of these cards, you have hit these right out the ball park! Hugs, Brenda

Cracking open that egg die to create a round-bottom vase was pure genius!! That was my favorite card and I think it was because of the vase!
