Welcome to Waffle Flower’s April 2021 Release day! I’m happy to be hopping with the folks from Waffle Flower to show you all the fun new stuff awaiting you on the Waffle Flower website! This month, the Waffle Flower release is full of stamps, dies, and stencils that celebrate the hope and joy of Spring!
My first card features the Brick Wall Stencil on the background. I blended distress inks in Kitsch Flamingo, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Cracked Pistachio & Mermaid Lagoon.
For the sentiment I used the Oversized Smile word die with white glittered cardstock & vellum and embossed a coordinating sentiment in white onto slate.
My next card uses the Brick Wall Stencil again for the background.
I used the adorable Birthday Puppies & Birthday Kitties Stencils along with the coordinating dies to create this cute scene. For the sentiment I used Pawsome Birthday. I also adhered some Cupcake Clay Sprinkles to the tops of the party hats for a cute embellishment.

April 5, 2021 at 10:19 amHi,
I like very much both cards but as a pet lover, the one w/ the animals stole my heart. So cute and love using the embellishments as hat toppers. Love the big “smile” and shadow for it!
Hope you are enjoying your time stateside and that Alex did OK and is recovering well… or will do well and recover smoothly!
