In this video, Waffle Flower design team member Tessa shares how she incorporated different media on this adorable mini canvas project.
Hello Waffle Flower friends! Lorena here with some pretties to get ready for the weekend. If there’s an art/craft that I find truly mesmerizing, that’s pottery. I could wander around a pottery shop or stare at a market stall for hours, marveled at the different details, finishes, and specially impressed that there’s no piece alike, every one is unique.
Here’s a little selection of pieces that caught my eye lately.
I love the happy color combinations on this mugs. Who wouldn’t want to fill their craft room with such bright pieces?
These are so cute and unique! Some of them remind me of the long critters from On My Mark stamp set.
What about this beauty, isn’t it a showstopper? That shine!!! Oh, and it also reminds me of the big flower in Flower Circles stamp set.
The organic feel is what made me fall in love with these pots. Perfection.
My last pick is so perfect for showcasing succulents! I like the natural tones, the color blocking and the subtle glaze.
And speaking of glaze… I was inspired by all this pretty pottery and decided to make my own, but without getting any clay under my nails ;) And I even glazed it!
This birthday card would be perfect for a guy, too, and showcases some of the lovely pots from Planted stamp set. After stamping the pots, I heat embossed them with a few layers of UTEE (ultra thick embossing enamel). They truly resemble glazed pottery!
I finished the card with a sentiment from Shower stamp set, and grounded the pots with three strands of rustic twine.
Thank you so much for stopping by and happy weekend!

Thank you for sharing with us today, Lorena!
Happy Monday, friends! Lorena here with some new ideas for Tribal Thank You stamp set. This set was released last October but if you thought it was just intented for Thanksgiving or Fall projects, I hope with today’s ideas I’ll prove you wrong J
Let’s start with a card. My inspiration came from the colors from the current Waffle Flower Crafts Challenge (you still have time to enter!). Here, I started stamping a graphic pattern with the small rectangle pattern stamp from the set. Who would say you could get such a big impact from this tiny stamp?
Next, I die cut the rectangle from Surface – Tag Die – Scallop Add-on twice from vellum. On one of the pieces I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, and then I adhered them together slightly offset and placed them over one of those tangled floss ornaments that are so popular these days. Dang, this gold floss is a really wild thing, it was hard to tame it so it would stay in place, ha!
And here’s one final pic of our card happily paired with an envelope and ready to travel in the post.
I also made two tags with Tribal Thank You stamp set. I had one of those epiphany moments when I realized that the tree from the set pairs beautifully with the pots from Planted stamp set with just a little masking.
Both of the tags were die cut with the largest die in Surface – Tag Die – Starter kit. I also made coordinating hole reinforcers stamping the die cut reinforcers with the polka dot circle from Flower Circles stamp set. I love the whimsical touch the polka dots add, but if you want to make this faster, you can simply cut the reinforcer from colored cardstock.
In this first tag, I used the leaves and branches from the tree and made some selective inking so I could stamp the “thank you” in two lines.
For the second tag I used the tree roots and I embellished the pot with a heart from Tribal Thank You covered with Glossy Accents. The sentiment is from the same set.
And here they are happily hanging out side by side.
There you are! Three Spring colored projects to brighten the new week. Thanks for stopping by!

We hope you can find time to create and make something today!
Hello everyone! Kim Kesti is back with another take on our current challenge!
Kim says,
I really love this month's Photo Inspiration! It's pretty obvious by looking at my card that I was inspired by the trio of pots (I even did a little masking to layer the succulents and pots), but I was also drawn to the strong horizontal lines in the photo. I wanted to add a little drama to my cacti, so I added the stamped patterned paper on the right (I used the new Pattern Play stamp set) and the little sprinkling of inky dots on my main stamped image to tie everything together. I can't wait to send this card to a friend! (Other stamps sets used: Potted and Planted).
Thank you for stopping by! Join the fun by linking up your project(s) here!
The colors are so clean and pretty! This Succulent Color Blending Kit includes three pieces of 4"x7" Bristol paper needed for this technique.
I added the dimension with foam adhesives.
I also added Wink of Stella Gold glitter for some messy free shimmer!
I had so much fun playing with these products. I hope that you are encouraged to color a few things too?
Thank you for stopping by! Happy Crafting!
