7 years of Waffle Flower! I am so proud of my friend Nina. We were friends even before she started her company when I was following her lovely projects! I am so happy to have met her in person in my travels to the US, to spend time with her, have dinner and even visit the Waffle Flower warehouse to see all the products stocked up in the shelves from top to bottom!
Way to go my friend, you deserve it! Here is a quick selfie of us back in January 2020, in Mesa, Arizona when we had no idea that we wouldn’t meet again in 2021. Next year my friend!!
Today we are celebrating the 7th anniversary of Waffle Flower with many talented friends and we will all share our top 7 waffle flower products/collections! Join us for inspiration, to win giveaways and to support this amazing company. Scroll dowb for more info on how to win!
So here are my “Top 7 for Year 7” in no particular order!
1. media mat
They have a couple of media mats, a large one with palette squares and a mini one. Both are made out of silicon, their back sticks to the table and will not move or slide around during your creative process. I tend to use the mini one more as it’s so easy to handle and I love the fact that it is bright white, so if you use it as a pelette you can see the actual colors and if you blend on top of it you can see if it needs cleaning… which is a big issue when you blend on a black mat! Plus they are super easy to clean!
If you want to see it in action here are a couple of videos to check it out
- large water media mat video review
- small media mat used for blending in this video
2. nesting dies
They have an amazing collection of nesting dies in all kind of shapes (stars, hearts, speech bubbles…) perfect for creating panels or windows. My most used ones are of course the rectangles and the circles. If you don’t have those I hightly recommend them, I reach for them in every project.
3. big bear & bird collection
I love the unique designs of the big bear and bird collection! Designed by Sarah Amijo from Jakarta! A collection you have to check if you like working with whimsical designs and little critters!
Here are a couple of cards I shared using stamps from this collection… but if you search my blog for “waffle flower” you will find even more!

4. Illustrator Kamo
Kamo from Japan is the designer of the Kamo illustrations for Waffle Flower. Another unique collection that you have to check out especially if you like creating little scenes with people! Here is an example
“Sandy toes” card click here for more photos and video.
5. Stitchables Collection
This is another favorite! So many options!!! I find it relaxing to have all my die cut shapes with the holes ready and just stitch while watching TV or listening to an audiobook. Here is a video I shared on this collection.
6. Disc binding die set
The disc binding dies is a set I use all the time either for creating mini art journals as well as mini swatch books! If you follow my videos you have seen me using them again and again. Here are some examples
- for swatch books
7. binding discs
Super easy to use, in a variety of colors are a must have if you like to create your own little art journal books, swatch books or disc bound planners!

Dear vicky
Love all your creations specially the stitched collection and the spring time stamp set and from the tools i like to own the mat and the esential dies. I am going to search your you tube channel and watch the videos. Love your coloring to bits.Tc stay safe
So many cool projects! I enjoy watching your videos, I always learn something new. Congrats to Nina for 7 years! Hopefully, everyone can meet again next year.
I love my Waffle Flower products!
Vicky how wonderful that you and Nina were able to spend time together – I’m very jealous, of you both!!
Sandy Toes has been an all-time favorite set of my own… still longing for that mat… loved the sandy beach you made for this guy!
=]
Super nice that you also make beautiful cards for this beautiful brand. Your cards are fantastic and you have real talent. Nice to see the videos. I am glad though that you are the last of this hop because it takes quite a lot of time. ;)) Good luck.
Beautiful cards! I am so inspired to try the cross stitching! Just lovely!
Waffle Flower nesting dies are a must for any card maker.
My favorite all time Waffle Flower products are the media mats! I have both the full and the mini sizes and I love both of them equally!
I have the large media mat and love it. It cleans easily and looks brand new after almost daily use. I cut the rigid plastic packaging when it arrived and used the “cells” to line my palette —works great.
Such wonderful products! Think I need the media mat! Congrats Waffle Flower.
Have so many Waffle Flower products! My entire organizational and swatching system depends on them! Next will be their journal dies!
Hi Vicky,
I love all your videos and am amazed with your tutorials you always give me some inspiration.
I am so glad you girls could me, you are always welcome to “play” in my craft room in Colorado!
I must say I haven’t shopped at the Nina’s store yet, but will check it out because I love to buy things from smaller shops or woman/ family owned!
❤️
Oops
I meant to say “ I am so glad you girls could meet!”
hi Vicky! I LOVE the media mat. The color combo is on my wish list along with so many other things from WF. also the a2 rectangle nesting dies are my most used dies!.. got them for Christmas!…. thank you for all the inspiration that you give us all! Have an awesome day!
Waffle Flower amazes me with their beautiful, fun, unique products. I have the Mini Media Mat and I use it often. I also have a couple of sets of the nesting dies — in my opinion, a must for card makers!
I love the little Easter shaker card.
Yes! I love Big Bear & Bird, Kamo, and stitching! Thank you for the reminder, and all the inspiration. I love your work.
Happy Birthday Waffle Flower! Vicky, I remember some of these videos, cards, and art journal pages. I love watching your videos and these in particular are great! Love the picture with Nina, how amazing to tour the plant and see your friend.
Love this post and now I’ve created a list of “must haves”…including the Water Media mat which I’ve been eyeing for some time. Waffle Flower has some wonderful products! Happy Birthday to them!
So many great products. Thanks for posting the videos. Glad you had a fun trip.

I had no idea they carried so many types of stackable dies! And the price is great too.
Although I did not watch all the videos yet the ones I did watch were so inspiring. Thank you for a great job.
I must try those dies in the slimline cards video. They are so versatile.
Howdy, beautiful use of Waffle Flower products. Lovely creations. Congrats Waffle Flower on 7.
I love your stitched cards! Happy Anniversary, Waffle Flower!
Vicky, I enjoyed seeing your seven favorites from Waffle Flower. I confess I have purchased 5 of them on your recommendation or because I have loved one of your videos! One thing I learned from your choices is the backgrounds of some of the stamp designers for Waffle Flower — that is very interesting!

OK, I hadn’t see that I NEEDED those binding disc products until your post here. That was pretty cool. And I am waiting waiting waiting anxiously for that media mat to come back into stock. I have really enjoyed getting to know Waffle Flower and their wonderful products and customer service. 🙂
You highlight some great products from Waffle Flower . I’m always tempted by clean, simple stamps and dies, so definitely going to look at the nesting dies and the disc binding sets.
