Inspiration from the Challenge Team - July 4, 2016
Happy Fourth!!!
And happy Monday, everyone! Time for some inspiration from the Challenge Team!
Shelly, Laura Jane, Katie, Lorena and our Guest Designer Laura Dovalo are here to share their takes on this month’s Waffle Flower Challenge! Join the fun by linking your projects to our July challenge too!
Shelly Kurth
Products: Balloon Messages Stamp Set, Little Mermaids Stamp Set, Little Mermaids Die, Hibiscus Stamp Set, Hibiscus Die, Willy & Friends Stamp Set, Willy & Friends Die
What Shelly Says: I started with stamping all of my images on paper and then coloring them in with markers. Once I finished coloring them in, I used the matching die sets with them. After I assembled my pieces how I wanted them on my card. Though before adhering them down, I added my sentiment. To top things off, I added some sequins.
Laura Jane
Products: Jumbo Letters HI Die, Lacy Layers Die
What Laura Jane Says: The tiny holes around the Jumbo Letters HI die scream CROCHET me!!! I trimmed the paper down around each letter then Single crochet - Chain one along each perfectly spaced hole. To finish the card I layered them on pretty polka-dot papers cut from Lacy Layers dies..I LOVE those tiny frames!
Katie Gehring
Products: Planted Stamp Set, Happy Go Lucky Dye Ink Pad, Oh Happy Day Dye Ink Pad, You Said What Dye Ink Pad, Daydreaming Dye Ink Pad, Chirp Chirp Dye Ink Pad
What Katie Says: I was inspired by the fun, bright colors in the inspiration photo as well as the arrangement of items on that side table. I pulled out my Planted Stamp Set, and with some simple masking and Waffle Flower’s new dye inks, I created a summery arrangement of plants and pots.
Lorena Canto
Products: - Lacy Flowers Die, Awesome Word Die, Succulents Stamp Set
What Lorena Says: Once again it was the bright and summery colors against a white background what caught my attention! I die cut three of the layers from Lacy Flowers die and made some gradient ink blending on each of them, and repeated the same process with the Awesome word die cut. The sentiment comes from Succulents stamp set.

What Laura Says: I love the bright colors of this month's palette and thought it would look great combined with the intricate Doily Circle Die. I have been wanting to use the inlay technique with this die for a while now and here's the result.
