Thank you, Deer!

Hello, my friends - so glad you stopped by today!

I have a few more Waffle Flower Crafts Folk Art Deer to share with you!  There is a 12x12 cardstock storage container where I keep all the Christmas patterned papers I've purchased over the years from this place or that ... it's amazing how far one sheet of paper can go!

Take this one from October Afternoon for example ... it was a done deal when I found it years ago - loved BOTH sides of it... and bonus - it has a lovely Nordic feel to it that goes with that deer so well!

A few dies were used in the making: 

Altenew's Ornate Nesting Dies,

an oldie from Winnie & Walter,

and Pinkfresh Studio's Fancy Circles and Lacey Edgers

I spent an hour of my time to stamp, emboss and die cut the 

Pinkfresh Studio: Basic Banners Christmas sentiments.  

Time spent now, for time saved later!

Isn't my Folk Art Deer looking right at home?  I sure wish I could get my hands on more of this Let it Snow design!  I love this last one - especially with those stripe-y pjs I dressed my deer in! 

Now, before I head back to my studio - I have ONE more WF Postage Collage card to share - then I'll stop!  Since I've used all the colors of FALL for my Christmas card, I'm sending it over to D&D at their September Stencil Fun Challenge!

Thanks, my friends, for supporting my enthusiasm over these products!

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!
