Waffle Flower December 2019 Release Blog Hop

Happy release day everyone! 

Waffle Flower's last release of 2019 turns our thoughts to themes of LOVE and Valentine's Day!   From the whimsical to the bold and graphic, this release has got you covered!  This month, you will find the whimsical mice of the Secret Admirer stamp, die, combo) and coordinating Sending Love sets (stamp, die, combo) by Cassie Loizeaux; bold and graphic word stamps and dies of Outline Love (stamp, die, word die, combo) by JJ Bolton; and the fun and creative Sweet Mailbox shaped gift-card holder die with coordinating Sweet Sentiments stamps (stamp, stand-alone die, combo). This month, Waffle Flower also has the adorable and punny Harpy Birthday set (stamp, die, combo) for musical lovers from Big Bear and Bird as well as the 6th set in our popular Bouquet Builder series (stamp, die, combo) by Karla Jodoin.  

Today I want to share a couple of cards I made with my new design Outline Love.  The Outline Love collection includes a stamp set  and matching outline die.  If you prefer a die cut word, I've also designed a separate word die that is the die cut version of the stamp.  All 3 pieces can be used separately or together.   For this first card, I just used the stamp set and painted it with rainbow watercolors. 

To finish it off, I just added a simple sentiment strip heat embossed in white on black cardstock.  

For my next card, I used the word die version of Outline Love and inlaid the pieces in rainbow colored cardstock.  The Outline Love stamp set includes a variety of simple sentiments that you can use to customize your card for all your loved ones from your sweetie to your bestie to your kids.  

I know this release is all about LOVE, but I just couldn't resist sneaking in a holiday card!  This month, Nina has designed the most fun Sweet Mailbox die set.  This set includes a die that cuts a gift card holder in the shape of a mailbox.  If you don't want to use it for gift cards, they make great 3D elements for your cards . Which is exactly what I did!  

For this holiday card, I dressed up the Sweet Mailbox die cut with a festive holiday wreath from last month's Merry Wreath set and added lots of holiday cards!  The Sweet Mailbox die set includes a bunch of teeny envelopes (the cutest!) and other accessories.  The sentiment is borrowed from the previously released Holiday Hugs set.  

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of the new Waffle Flower release!  Here' s a full list of the blog hoppers in case you just jumped in!
