[Guest] Monkey Santa and Rudolph by Elena Roussakis
Hello everyone! Waffle Flower friend Elena is on the blog today! --- Hi there! I'm thrilled to be guesting on the Waffleflower blog today! I combined the Willy & Friends stamp set with the Stocking stamp set to bring you the monkey version of Santa and Rudolph. I love working with stamps to create something that looks like it was originally produced that way. It took a bit of masking, but you'd never know that this wasn't originally a monkey-themed-christmas stamp set! I gave Rudolph a set of antlers and a bright red nose. I then gave Santa his signature...

Five for Friday - Pretty Presents by Katie Gehring
Hello friends, Katie here. The holidays are approaching and one of my favorite parts of the season is wrapping gifts. Unfortunately, I am usually running around at the last minute, and I run out of time to do much more than wrap the gifts and hastily stick a label and plastic bow to the center. My plan this year is to finish my shopping early, so I can spend some time thinking about presentation- pretty papers and stunning accents. To inspire and motivate myself and share some inspiration with you, I am sharing some ideas for festive gift wrap. Gilded...
[Guest] Watch It Wednesday Video - Berry Best Friend Card by Laura Sterckx
Hello everybody! It's Laura Sterckx here from makingcardsisfun.com and I am thrilled to be guest designing for Waffle Flower this month. In my first video I am creating a quick and easy card using the Claire stamp set. I stamped the strawberry stamp on a card panel. This way I created a fun background. I love how that turned out! I did some simple Copic coloring for all of the images. I tend to use two markers to add shading. This is a quick and easy way to color your images. To add glitter and sparkle on this card, I...
