Rainbow Everything Blog Hop {Waffleflower}...

Welcome to Waffle Flower’s June 2021 Release day! I’m happy to be hopping with the folks from Waffle Flower to show you all the fun new stuff awaiting you on the Waffle Flower website! This month, the Waffle Flower release is full of stamps, dies, and stencils for the love of rainbows! 

Be sure to check out each stop in today’s blog hop for fun, inspiration, and chances to win some of these new release goodies! Next on the hop is Rachel Arribas ! 

I created this fun card using the Rustic Rainbow die.  I love the wonky rainbow!  I colored each one one with Copics for a shadow effect.  I masked off the edges of the card front and did a little ink blending and then added the clouds and clear drops to finish it off.  I used an older set called Stitched Cup of Tea to add in the sentiment. 

I wanted to create a coordinating card so I grabbed the same Copics from the first card and got to work!  I used the Rainbow Circle Die for this card and made a fun little shaker.  I finished this off with the Label Maker Rainbow Sentiments set.  I just love that handwritten font you can add in there!

June Card Kit and a Question {Spellbinders}...

You guys, I have to tell you something.  I am totally hooked on the Spellbinders Monthly Card Kit!  The details in the box are so much fun and make for endless possibilities.  I love the ephemera included and the pattered papers that all coordinate to make quick and easy cards!

It is so easy to cut down paper to create the perfect backgrounds and then layer in all the details.

The kit also had the most amazing sentiment die cuts.  With all of the cardstock included, along with a sheet of gold cardstock, you can use those dies and add those in anywhere!

Click HERE to see the June Kit of the Month!

So here is my question....would you like to see videos of the Card Kit in action?  I might do a video for July and just wanted to see how many people would like to see one!  Let me know in the comments!

Thank you so much for coming by today! Have a great weekend!

Taylored Expressions 4th of July Release...

Hello friends!  I am stopping in today with an awesome new release!  Taylored Expressions has a new collection of amazing stamps and dies perfect for the 4th of July!  

Here are today's projects....

 

This card features the new background stamp called Sketched Flag.  I love the white space in the middle to add in a sentiment.  I used the Starstruck dies to add in detail and then heat embossed a sentiment from The Inside Scoop: Freedom Stamp Set.  

TE has an awesome new rotating stencil called Superstar.  You line up the squares on the corners of the stencil and then just rotate it to create a fun background.  I used Cherry Pop and Blueberry and then on the last rotation I used Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste for some sparkle.....

I added in more star die cuts from the Starstruck set and then finished it off with sentiments from Building Blocks: Brave Addition. 

Here is a close up of the shine!
