Hello everyone!!! I’m so happy to be back guesting for Waffle Flower Crafts. During the holiday season I purchase a lot of gift cards to give to family members and for people I’d like to thank, like teachers. So I wanted to design projects that be can be mass produced to hold my gift cards.
For these projects I used the
Gift Bag Die, which I think is an awesome die to have around. It’s just so perfect to hold gift cards and other small gifts like jewelry. You can decorate it to fit any occasion and it looks great on top of cards. I also used
Faye Stamp Set,
Stocking Stamp Set, and the
Willy and Friends Stamp Set. If you don’t want to include the monkeys, you can easily make these projects using the
gift bag die set and the
stocking stamp set. It’ll look just as nice…I’ll probably do that all the male recipients.
I started this project by stamping and coloring the images using copic markers. Next, using colored papers, I used the
gift bag die set to cut out the pieces I needed. I didn’t want the cards to have too much dimension (for mailing purposes) so I only used
one side of the gift bag with one handle and taped it directly onto the front layer of both cards. Then, I stamped sentiment, Merry Christmas. Lastly, I used double sided tape to adhere the monkeys and their accessories to the front of the gift bags.
For the next project I made the gift bag using two of the die cuts. I adhered the two pieces together along with the handles using double sided tape. Once again, I decorated the front of the gift bag using my colored images. Since there was no place to stamp or write I made a mini card, the size of the gift bag pocket. I taped the card directly onto the back of the gift bag. This allowed me to stamp a sentiment and write a little message. You can close the card using clear tape.
I had so much fun working with these wonderful products. I hope I have inspired you in some way. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!!

Hi, crafty friends! It's May here and I'm so excited to be guest blogging for Waffle Flower Crafts today. I created a fun card using adorable images from the Willy & Friends stamp set.
As soon as I received this set, I coudln't resist creating my own stamped background. This time I divided my card front into two parts and stamped different images to add interest on my background.
I didn't do any serious blending but simple coloring with Copic markers to enhense the graphic look of my card design. Here is a step-by-step photo tutorial on how I made my card:
1. Draw a line vertically using a pencil and ruler in the middle of A2 size white cardstock.
2. Stamp the monkeys from the Willy & Friends stamp set with black ink. (I first stamped the accesaries and masked them off with post-it note. Then I stamped the monkeys.)
3. After stamping two monkeys, mask off the right side of card front with post-it note. Then stamping banners and flowers with black ink.
4. After done stamping on the left side of card front, start stamping on the right side as well.
5. Remove the mask and color the images with Copic markers. Then remove the pencil line using an eraser.
6. Stamp the sentiment from the Willy & Friends stamp set with Versafine Watermark ink on a piece of black cardstock. Next, heat emboss it with white embossing powder and cut it out. Finish off the card by popping up the sentiment on the card front using foam tape.
That's all for today. Thank you so much for joining me. Happy crafting!

For both my cards, I used 
For my first card, I stamped and colored the images using copic markers. I kept the card design simple to let the characters and the sentiment stand out. One thing I did do here is stretch my stamps by making small changes to the characters using my copic friendly pen. I drew some lines and dots to create dressy outfits for the monkeys, it’s that simple. Don’t they make an adorable couple ready for a Holiday Party!

For my second card, it’s pretty much the same thing with a different color scheme and sentiment. Once again, I colored the images with copic markers. I added glossy accent to the heart for shine and dimension.

Last time I made a pile of bananas. This time I stacked up pineapples using the masking technique.
Claire wants to add one more pineapple to show her gratitude and Willy helps her. Cute? ☺
For my background I chose some patterned paper that match well with the pineapple theme.
This is my last post as a guest designer for Waffle Flower. I’d like to say a big Thank You to Nina for giving me this great opportunity! I hope you all enjoyed my cards I shared this past few months. Happy crafting!
When you pull out the slider strip…
OMG! Willy has stolen Claire’s bananas!! :)
To create this card, I blended light pink, yellow, and light green inks on a white panel, then spritzed it with water. After it completely dried, I cut out a slider track with a craft knife and made a notch on the top edge of the panel using a small circle punch. Then I adhered the panel to a card base with foam tape. I cut a slider strip from a piece of inked card stock and drew a string on it with a black gel pen.
All the images were colored with Copics. I did a lot of masking to create a pile of bananas! The sentiment, which is from the On My Mark stamp set, was white embossed on a dark brown panel. After I adhered the sentiment panel and the images (except a bunch of bananas) to the inked panel, I inserted the slider strip and adhered the bananas image to it with foam tape. Several sequins were added to finish off the card.
Thank you for looking!
For this card, I die cut 
This card is a favorite of mine. I was blown away by 
For this card, I was inspired by the sentiment from this set - "Dance like no one's watching". On the front panel, I masked Willy and stamped Claire on top to make them look like that they are sitting close to each other, watching Faye dance.

I made the background with the tulips from Welcome Spring set using no-line coloring technique. I stamped them with light-grey inks and then colored and blended the background with green and blue Distress inks.
