HEEYYYYY! Happy Friday crafty people! It’s time for a big blog hop today! We are celebrating the brand new release from Waffle Flower Crafts today! The release is called “Hope” and it’s wonderful. Pretty florals, some faith based stamps (which I absolutely love), more Stitchables….and even more! CLICK HERE to shop the new release – it’s available now. But, be sure to check out the blog hop too! Loads of inspiration and fun and a giveaway. The Waffle Flower release is full of stamps, dies, and stencils that celebrate the hope and joy of Spring! Did you arrive here from TaeEun’s blog? Welcome! I have two projects to share with you today featuring the new stamps and dies.
My first card is made with my favorite thing from the new release – the Hopeful Girl stamp and die set. I used the new Lacy Circles dies to feature the stamps also. The finished card is a white card base custom sized to 5.25″ x 5.25″ square. I used purple because to me that’s a Spring color and I thought the purple gingham was very sweet with these images.
I first stamped and die cut out the flowers spray and the praying girl. I colored the images with my Copic Markers. I used some small yellow gingham to paper piece her blouse. Yellow is such a pretty contrast to purple I think! Don’t you adore this pretty image? I think this would be a great stamp set for a confirmation or a get well/thinking of you card. I’m smitten. It was very quick and easy to color her.
I die cut a small heart for the sentiment and added some of the awesome Waffle Flower Enamel Dots. In this photo you can see the Lacy Layers Dies – the scallop one I die cut in vellum and the inside circle I used white cardstock. I used Distress Ink and my blender brushes to ink light blue behind where I was going to place the images. I also splashed on some white paint. I added a few small pearls for accents.
I covered the card base in the gingham paper. Then I mounted everything onto the card using foam tape for dimension and interest. (My cards are usually thick and juicy! LOL)
Here’s a close up of the pretty floral spray! This is a very versatile floral… You could mount it at the top of a circle or on the side, or put two together to make a wreath.
This next card combines my two crafty loves of card making and cross stitching! Waffle Flower has the coolest line of Stitchables stamps and dies. I love using them, and now there are some new additions to the collection!! This finished card is kraft A2 card base, layered with cream and then layered with yellow gingham. The yellow layer was die cut using the Blanket Stitch Layers Dies.
I die cut the oval stitching die out of cream cardstock. I found the beehive and bee pattern in one of my old cross stitching magazines. It was the perfect size to fit this oval! I used three strands of the floss colors to stitch my design. It’s so bright and cheerful! I die cut the oval embroidery hoop out of woodgrain cardstock to look realistic.
Hope you’re enjoying the hop! Next on the hop is the lovely Yasmin! For the full blog hop list, please visit the Waffle Flower Blog for today!

Your cards are absolutely beautiful! I love them both. The cross-stitch die cut is one I have been looking for. I will be looking into this die.
Lovely cards. Great creativity. Loved all of them
Your cards are lovely and have such detail! Wonderful work.
I love both of these! The purple gingham and that little girl…amazing card! The cross stitched card is so cute! I used to cross stitch way long time ago, but I’ve never tried it on a card yet!
Love the first card…thanks for sharing!
Beautiful cards! I love the colors on the first one and your stitched card is amazing.
Such gorgeous cards you create, Wanda! So grateful you could join us in the hop and showcase the new goodies! You rock!
Your cards are beautiful, not sure which I like most, the purple wonder or the stitched bee–they are terrific! Thanks to you for the inspiration and to Waffle Flower for the terrific products.
What an awesome job on this new release. Beautiful design and beautiful coloring.
Like your cards very much.Looks like some fun! Thanks for sharing.
Two amazing cards. Can’t pick a favorite. I love the look and message of the first card and think that stamp set is perfect for so many occasions. Like your paper piecing, too. Nice touch. I also love the stitched card. I used to do a lot of embroidery work and to think I can now do it on paper. Not sure I can be a clever as you with that cute beehive and bees but I’m looking forward to giving it a try. Thanks for sharing!
Love, love the bee stitch card.

Wow, wow-wee, wowsers!! I ADORE that card with the little prayerful girl. I LOVE the purple gingham frame and the soft yellow gingham of her dress. The flowers around the circle … perfection! You have NAILED it!! I also like the beehive card but the purple/yellow just hit me like a ton of bricks! LOVE! Thank you for sharing your work – I feel very inspired by it!
