Sneak Peek Kit No. 8 | Waffle Flower + Giveaway

Hi friends, today, I’m sharing a card I created using the Sneak Peek Club kit No. 8 from Waffle Flower Crafts. The Sneak Peek Club kit is a monthly subscription that allows you to play with a handful of Waffle Flower products about a month before their official release date.

For today’s card, I used most of the items in the kit to create this holiday card. I share my messy ink blending and how I fixed it and my best trick for die cuts.

I share my process for this card in this video below!

Stencil Glow | Ink on 3

This botanical image isn’t really one for coloring because of all the details, however, it’s perfect for rainbow stamping and it just is gorgeous! I also used the new stencil to ink up around the image and it really made it pop!

Multi-Color Stamping | Honey Bee Stamps

If you know me, I love coloring but sometimes, you come across a solid stamping set that you just love. This set is one I’ve used sooo many times and I can’t get enough of it! This time, I wanted to just use the flowers and stamp them using a couple of inks. It’s super simple so I couldn’t help but add a few gems to it.

Monotone with a Pop of Color | Pretty Pink Posh

A lot of cards use a ton of color, but for this one, let’s do something different! It’s ok to use monotone colors and if that’s too much of one color, you can add a secondary color for a bold pop of color.

August 2023 BuJo Set Ups

Again — late to another monthly set up but I wanted something quick an easy this week, minimal coloring because it’s going to be a busy one. I love this stamp set because it has doodle images along with a coordinating solid stamp to quick “color” it in.

Black Copic Marker | Honey Bee Stamps

Fussy Cutting & Stenciling | Miss Ink Stamps

Sometimes it’s worth the time to fussy cut. I created this stenciled background and really didn’t want that white outline around my images so I got to fussying cutting. I usually reserve it for easy images but these were a bit tricky but totally worth it!

Subtle Coloring | Honey Bee Stamps

I’ve been loving pulling older sets and matching it with new ones. The Sweet Spring Mice is a favorite and I definitely wanted to use it with this Friendship Frame stamp set. It was the perfect frame that works as a background so the focal image would fit snugly in the middle. I used one copic marker to add a bit of shading to the Friendship Frame stamp and it worked so well!
