Welcome to a fun blog hop! Today we celebrate the new Waffle Flower April release with lots of inspiration and giveaways.
You can start the blog hop from the beginning here. The release is packed with awesome designs and if you are looking for something unique and different they’ve got you covered! You can see a close-up video on the new products below
And here is my card!
You see his expression ? This is exactly how I feel just thinking that summer is not so far away any more. I used the SANDY TOES stamp set and colored him with my alcohol markers. I also used the matching dies to cut him out.
How fun and unique is this card?! Now can you see the sand? Looks like real and it’s easy to get this look by using the Embossing Kit – Beach ( SBC | SSS ). At the video below you can see how easy this technique is.
The sentiment is from the same stamp set and to make it more interesting I stamps and embossed part of in directly on the card while the other part is in a strip of paper.
You can watch the video below or at my YouTube channel here

Fun card—that embossing powder set is really “beachy.” The bouquet builder is my fav set in this release.
Here, the snow is falling (still…) and the temperature is a ‘balmy’ minus 20C, so your beach card is precisely what’s needed to brighten and warm my day! How I’d love to be running through a sandy beach right about now! Thank you for designing a scene that allows me to do so vicariously! Fresh, fun, fabulous!
