Waffle Flower, Oversized Hello/Floral Greeting Cards
Happy Thursday, Friends! Today, I’m honored to share with you the cards that, I’ve created with the new; Floral Bundle which is part of the; March-2020 Release by Waffle Flower. This gorgeous bundle includes the following sets; Oversized Hello Combo, Sprigs Die and Tulips Combo So, without further ado, please keep on reading below ↓
To begin with, I started by placing over a Citrine color cardstock panel the leave dies from the; Sprigs Die set. Next, I ran the panel along with the dies through my Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine. Once, I had the first die-cutting set of leaves, I repeated the same step to die-cut them out of Leafy Green and Mossy Green color cardstock. Right after when all die-cutting leaf pieces were done, I set them aside. Then, I placed the flower dies over a Blush Pink color cardstock panel, and I ran them through the die-cutting machine. Also, I repeated the same step but, this time to die-cut them out of Bubble Gum color cardstock (by the way the flower dies are also included in the same set). To finish the die-cutting process, I ran through the die-cutting machine the; Oversized Hello Word Die to die-cut it 1X out Gold cardstock, and 4X out of white cardstock. Lastly, after the die-cutting process, I dry embossed a white card panel with using the; Lumber 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder. And soon after that, I trimmed the edges off from the dry embossed card panel, and I adhered the backing of it with double-sided tape to an A2 size top folding white card base. After finishing the card base, I set it aside and I started to build a wreath with the die-cutting pieces.
To create the wreath first; I used 2 circle dies to die-cut a skinny white circle out of white cardstock. Once, I had the skinny white circle, I placed it over my crafting mat, and I used it as a guide to glue down with liquid glue every single die-cutting piece. As, you can see in the image above, I created a pattern by adhering from the lightest to the darkest leaves then, a light and a dark flower… and so on and so forth. To add a shimmery look, I carefully sprayed HA White Iridescent Shimmer over the wreath as well as shimmery white splatters. Right after when the wreath was completed, I added liquid glue to the backing of the die-cutting circle, and I adhered it down to the card base. Finally, I stacked the hello die-cutting pieces, and I adhered it down in the center of the wreath with liquid glue. To finish the card off, I foam mounted a sentiment which, I had gold heat embossed with Metallic Gold Rich Embossing Powder on a white piece of cardstock. By the way, the sentiment is from the; Oversized Hello Stamp Set. As, a finishing touch, I glued down with liquid glue here and there sequins some of the; Heaven Sent Sparkly Shaker Mix for a sparkly look.
For the second card, I created the card panel by using as a stencil one of the panels on which I had made the die-cutting leaves earlier. So therefore, I placed a white card panel over my Mini Media Mat followed by the stencil to inked up the leaves with a mix of Citrine, Leafy Green and Mossy Green inks. Once, the card panel was all inked up, I placed it inside my stamping tool, and I waited a few minutes to let the inks dry complete. Right after when the inks were completely dry, I placed right in the center of the card panel the Hello stamp image from the Oversized Hello Stamp Set, and I picked it up with the stamping tool door. Lastly, I added lots of Embossing Powder Tool because, I was going to stamp the hello with Embossing Ink.
So, as soon as the stamping process was done, I removed the stamped panel from the stamping tool, and I gold heat embossed it with Metallic Gold Rich Embossing Powder. Finally, after the heat embossing, I trimmed the edges off from the card panel slightly smaller than the card base, and I foam mounted the card panel to an A2 standard size top folding white card base. To finish the card off, I glued down with liquid glue here and there a few sequins to add a shiny look.
