Hello, Waffle Flower friends! Lorena here today for a brand new Five for Friday. We are all yearning for Spring, aren't we? So I thought I could focus on the awesomeness of that Season that's almost here. Let's get started!!!
1. After months of cold weather and empty, snow covered gardens, the promise of greener days starts to show...

2. And before you know it, everything around will be in bloom.

4. Although Summer seems to be a wedding favorite, Spring is too such a beautiful season to tie the knot

5. And April Fools is another Spring favourite date, right? This joke for kids cracks me :)

After all this inspiration, I decided I wanted to stamp a Spring wreath to celebrate all things flowery and pretty. Twig wreaths seem to be very trendy lately, so I searched in my Waffle Flower Stash until I found the perfect stamp to create the twig base for my wreath. Can you guess what I used?
The wonky circle/moon outline from
Starry Night stamp set happened to be exactly what I needed. I stamped it several times and voilá! A twig wreath ready to hold some pretty flowers and leaves from
Loved stamp set.
The sentiment comes from the newly released
Welcome Spring stamp set. I added a bit of glitter to the flowers with a clear Wink of Stella pen and the rustic white pannel was cut from the also bran new
Lacy Layers die.
And there you have it! I'm ready to welcome Spring now. Thanks for visiting and happy weekend!

Filled with "Magic"?! We love that Marcie carefully trimmed "Magical" word die for her sentiment!
The entire Tribal Bear Stamp Set is about layering! We love Daria's choice of colors and that pop of teal and white under the sentiment!
Just like what Shona says, one of the benefits of stamp layering is that you can get different shades of color using one ink pad!
Hope you are inspired to try the stamp layering technique!

Anika says: For the background I stamped the sentiments in white pigment ink. I let it dry overnight. Then I stamped the dogs in dye ink over the white ink. For the main image I stamped the dog, added some dimension with Prismacolors and some details with a black gel pen.

How cool is the hand stamped sentiment background on Anika's card? We also love that crisp black speech bubble for the sentiment! Thanks Anika for including the detailed shot!
We are totally in love with this wonderful free-style collage look: the teal heart, the little dotted circle and the watercolored background! We also love that Annette stamped the long sentiment form Stocking stamp set on two lines to fit in the heart! Perfect!
Shelly, you've done it again! We are amazed at how you take all the inspiration and make it into something so simple yet so unique and fun! We love how you layered the star stamps!
We love that Laura Jane leaves the images uncolored - the "hand-drawn" look adds so much to a Christmas card. Did you see that doily flower stamp peeking from the top right corner? So fun!

Hello Waffle Flower friends! This is Sabrina with my final video for the Watch It Wednesday series. Today I’m playing around with an older favorite stamp set along with a new-to-me technique that’s been seen around lately – most recently by my friend Mary Dawn Quirindongo - watercolor smooshing. What a gorgeous effect it creates!
And when combined with a little chalk ink blending, it’s also such a quick and fun way to create a night sky/galaxy type background. The Starry Night stamp set and this technique were just meant to be!
You can check out the how-to in the video below and then add your stamping and embossing on top when everything is dry.

Hello everyone! 
Agnieszka, aka Aga at 
I used an ordinary pencil to draw lines between stars and make them look like constellations.
Then, I used the little star die and cut out a dozen stars out of white cardstock.
Next I heat embossed the “reach for the stars” sentiment in gold.
Finally I adhered all stars to my card base and finished it off with a piece of vellum, a white thread and the sentiment.
Thank you Nina for having me as a Guest Designer today! I've loved creating with your amazing stamps!
