Hello again everyone!
Next up today is my entry for the second February Color Throwdown challenge – an interesting combo of pink, lime and teal.
Quite a challenging combo for me but I decided to use my new Waffle Flower Mod Blossoms stencil set and coordinating die with some fabulous Pinkfresh Studio Glitter card.
The sentiment is by Spellbinders and cut from some mirror card that by sheer chance coordinates perfectly with the glitter card!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Welcome to Day 7 of Heart Week 2025 and what a fun week it has been too – mixing very old and very new products to create some fun heart cards!
My heart card today is my entry for this week’s challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. I used products from MANY different companies for this card – the branch is by Poppystamps, the hearts are Penny Black and a very old Simon Says Stamp/Kelly Purkey collaboration and the die cut hangers are from a Waffle Flower Crafts Christmas ornament die set! I used an inky panel I’d created from some Distress Mica Stain Spray for the larger heart and then some Craft Consortium paper for the aqua hearts. The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friyay everyone!
Welcome to Day 5 of Heart Week 2025!
What do you do when a crafty order lands on your doormat and you want to use it straightaway but it doesn’t contain any heart items? You use it anyway! I loved Waffle Flower Crafts’ February release and could’ve bought all of it… but I restrained myself and bought a few items… for now! Many thanks to Tracy at Dies to Die For for the incredibly fast shipping! My purchases included the Mod Blossom die and coordinating stencil – I was so inspired by how the DT had used them – so versatile.
I created a panel with the stencil and various distress inks and then used an old Ellen Hutson heart die to cut it. I adhered it to a base that I had embossed with a WRMK Next Level embossing folder that I got back in 2015. Who remembers those? I consider them to be the founding father of the amazing 3D embossing folders we have today!
The sentiment is an old wood-mounted stamp (don’t you just love the little heart above the ‘i’?) and I added a few clear heart gems to complete my card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month. It’s the last day! I’m so chuffed that I managed to play along, even if I didn’t always keep up every day!
The theme of Day 30’s challenge is ‘countdown’.
I struggled with this one and quite honestly I just wanted to get this challenge finished! I ended up using the Waffle Flower Crafts small ornaments die set, lots of Craft Consortium paper and an old scrapbooking calendar stamp set!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.
The theme of Day 16’s challenge is ‘mistletoe mischief’.
When I saw the theme, I immediately thought I would use a Memory Box die that I use every festive season, but when I was going through my box looking for it, I spotted the lovely Mistletoe Branches dies by Waffle Flower Crafts and decided I should use that instead. I paired it with a Waffle Flower bag die and a Simon Says Stamp embossing folder.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to Day 23 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024!
When it comes to festive feathered friends, I always gravitate towards the fabulous cardinal… but how can I neglect our humble robins!
I bought this cute Tiny’s Red Robin die set by Marianne Design last year but I never got round to using it. Well that changed today. It’s a brilliant layering die set – I particularly love how the lower body tucks under the wing and gives some great depth to the image!
After trying a few different foliage dies, I settled on using a couple of die sets by Waffle Flower – the Beaded Wreath die set and foliage from the Layered Winter Bird set. I love how JJ used woodgrain card for her wreath a while ago and just had to try it – fabulous texture!
The background is one of my favourite folders – Gemini’s Pinecone Plethora.
