Die cut, stamp, and put on repeat!

By now you must know that my heart has been completely captured by my new Waffle Flower Crafts Postage Collage Bundle!  I have found so many sets in my stash [today all of them are Waffle Flower designs] that work beautifully with it, provided me two days of delight, and reminded me why I bought them in the first place - they are so adorable! 

I'll share a few with you today - they really are self-explanatory, so I'll just show my cards.  If you have any questions about how, what, or where just drop me a note in the comments [don't forget your email address] and I'll be happy to respond.

First up, an ode to a wonderful friend in France who I miss dearly - come back, Anita! we all miss you!


Easily you can see that the Postage Collage die was stamped and colored then cut apart. 
here's how simple they make it - one of the stencils makes a 'mask!'


After coloring, I put it under a WF brick wall stencil to add a little selective 'cobblestone' detail:


Cutting my stamp sections apart made it easy to make TWO cards!


It's looking and feeling a little more Fall-like around here - it's time for WF Postage Collage loves Fall!


and a little trick-or-treating!


We all know what comes next - while I don't even want to think about that four-letter word - a little ice skating would be fun...


I'll leave the snowmen to the kids across the street!


Their yard looks just like this after all the snowballs have been rolled
big enough to build their snow people!

Christmas is coming before we know it - here I've used the WF Postage Collage at its best with a little help from Big Bear and Bird...

... and spending Christmas with YOU!

Okay.  I'll leave you alone the rest of the weekend!  BUT there is a set of
Christmas collage stencils on their way to me... don't say I haven't warned you!

Wow, I can't believe how many cards you have since the last time I was here! I just wanted to stop by and let you know I had a good look at everything and I love it all! I'm sorry I can't comment on each individually. Things have gotten more complicated here, but we'll pull through to the other side eventually. Hugs!

A lot of stamp sets have come out to play with you and your WF Collage, Michele, and you have made the best of them. The fun you had making these cards shows with all your creativity in using small stamps.

Oh, stop it!!! I can't stand the cuteness and you're making me want to go shopping! I'm trying so hard to behave but it's hard to look past cute postage stamps. I can't even choose a favorite. If I were standing in line at the post office, I would buy one of each.

What a brilliant showcase for that set. I love all of them. It seems that this set hasn't hit the shops in the UK yet, but I shall keep an eye out for it. Thanks so much for the inspiration xx

Lisa Elton said...

Boy oh boy did you ever heap on the CUTENESS! What an absolutely darling assortment of cards. You have me wanting to go to Pairs, frolic in the leaves and and play in the snow... well maybe no the snow!!

Oh my goodness--you're a creative philatelist! All of your stamps are a delight and I'm waiting with baited breath for those Christmas stamps!

Brenda said...

Oh my, the mileage you are getting out of this collection is amazing Michele! I LOVE each and every card you have made! Could you please privately tell me where Anita went??? I've had her on my mind for the past few years now, wondering where she has been or what happened to her. Thanks sweet friend! Hugs, Brenda
