Waffle Flower - Post Collage Valentine

 

A warm welcome to you and thank you for joining me on my blog today where I'm sharing a Valentine's card made just for the love of it that showcases the  Postage Collage products from Waffle Flower. 

To make this card I used the following products:-

Postage Collage Rose Stencil

Postage Collage Die

Postage Collage Love Stamp Set

I took an A2 panel of sturdy white cardstock and I used the Postage Collage Die to die cut it.

The Postage Collage Rose Stencil has three parts to it and starting with the first one I ink blended until all of the designs were complete.  I used the following Distress Inks for the blending:-

Spun Sugar

Victoria Velvet

Picked Raspberry

Festive Berries

Cracked Pistachio

Mowed Lawn

I then used the Postage Collage Love Stamp Set and Eiffel Tower Ink by MFT to stamp the postage themed images in various positions.

I backed this decorative panel with dimensional foam tape and then adhered that to a white panel that was hidden behind the main one.

I took some toning patterned cardstock from my stash, this one is Strawberry Frosting by Lawn Fawn and I trimmed it just a little shy of A2 and I adhered the decorative panel to it and then this was all glued to an A2 card base.

I'm always itching to embellish and add more but with this one I kept it beautifully simple and classic and added nothing more.  Card done!

Thanks for coming by to read today, it is very much appreciated and I'll be back very soon with something new.  Have a great day!

Waffle Flower - Postage Collage Card

 

Hello!  Weather-wise it has been a pretty grim day here in Upstate New York and I found myself with some spare time and I decided to create using some recent purchases and just for the love of the craft.  I'm sure most of you are familiar with Waffle Flower's Postage Collage collection of dies and stencils and my card today uses the Postage Collage Die (the essential place to start) and I used the Postage Collage Coloring Stencil too.

I selected some sturdy white cardstock and die cut the Postage Collage.  I overlaid the first of two stencils from the same set.  The first one will just allow you to ink blend a background colour.  Once ink blended I put the second stencil in place and ink blended the shapes and patterns.  Here are the ink combinations used, all are by The Stamp Market:-

Pinks - Cotton Candy & Bubblegum

Purples - Wisteria & Orchid

Blues - Powder Blue & Cornflower

The next step was to use the Waffle Flower Postage Collage stamp set and I stamped in all the little details like 50 cents etc using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black.  I backed this panel with dimensional foam tape and applied it to an A2 white panel of cardstock and then glued this to my card base.

For the bold sentiment I used the Essential Happy Birthday Die-namics by My Favorite Things.  This is a two part die and I cut the background portion from black cardstock and the happy birthday words from white.  I adhered the pieces together, backed the sentiment with more dimensional foam tape and applied it to the decorative background.

A few white Nuvo drops finished the card nicely!

Well, it's still raining and so there's nothing else for it but to make another card!  I'll be back tomorrow with something new!
