Hey crafty friends!
I’m excited to be participating in another Waffle Flower Link Party! This month’s party – and my card today – feature products from Sneak Peek Club Kit #06!
A quick reminder: the Sneak Peek Club provides Club Members with a super fun monthly kit of Waffle Flower products. Members get the products about a month earlier than they are released to everyone else! So, if you’re interested in being a Club Member, you can sign up here: Club
Like previous months, Waffle Flower is generously providing a GIVEAWAY* to one of my blog readers (that would be YOU) if you comment on this blog post by June 30th. The GIVEAWAY* is Kit #06 – the same kit I used to make my card for today! Winners are picked at random and will be announced on Waffle Flower’s Link Party post! *the GIVEAWAY can only be shipped to the US.
My card for the Party is super colorful (perfect for a party, right?!) and features several items from the new kit, including the Multiple Presents stencil and die set and the Bokeh Stencil Trio. These products are perfect for a birthday or any gift-giving occasion (you could even do them for Christmas)! In my case, I went with the birthday theme because I am low on Birthday cards and I hate running out!
To make this card:
- Ink-blend a 4.25 x 5.5 inch panel using the Bokeh Stencil Trio. I used several colors of the rainbow on each stencil layer – being careful to go in rainbow order so I didn’t get “muddy” colors where they overlap.
- Adhere the panel to your card front and set aside.
- Ink-blend the Multiple Presents stencil TWICE – using a light hand for the bottom layer, then getting gradually darker for the others. I did this twice with different colors so that I would have enough presents for my card and could get a lot of variation in the colors. By ink-blending light-to-dark on the layers, you will get monochrome-colored presents and will still have definition between their parts. Note that I used a peach color for the bow on my yellow present because I couldn’t get the yellow dark enough for my preference. You could certainly mix up the colors of your layers and get an amazing look – that just wasn’t the look I wanted for this card.
- Die cut the presents.
- Die cut a Pinking Rectangle Frame – keeping the cut-out section.
- Stamp your greeting in the upper left corner of the frame cut-out.
- Cut a piece of vellum to 3.75 x 4.75 inches.
- Glue the vellum to your card front making sure to only put glue in the middle (otherwise you’ll see the glue through the vellum.
- Adhere your frame to the card front using foam adhesive.
- Adhere the cut-out sentiment piece into the frame using tape runner or liquid glue..
- Arrange and adhere your presents to the frame. I put some inside the frame and some on top of the frame. For those on top of the frame you may need to use foam adhesive to keep them stable.
- Add a few gems for shine.
I hope you like this card and that it inspires you to create something today! I can’t wait to see what you make with this kit (and any of the others)!
