Today I’m happy to be part of a blog hop for Waffle Flower Crafts and their brand new crafty medium swatching tools.
If you are like me and collect ink pads and other mediums, but really have no real resources of what the heck they look like, these products can help you to get organized and then get creating!
I have a video to share with you today that focuses on getting my complete Distress Oxide ink collection all swatched out, something I have never done, as well as starting to create a resource for combinations of these inks.
These new products are designed to give you a ton of ways to create samples—from inks, to embossing powders, to cardstocks—all of the crafty mediums you use to create.
Here’s a video showing you how I created both my main swatch tag ring and the smaller combo tags.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Now, onto the hop!

These are just the coolest. Your video explained everything so well. I definitely need these. Thanks so much
These are right up my alley!
Oh my! This is awesome. I’m adding to my wishlist right now! I especially like the way you swatched your ink blendings.
Super cool & easier way to catalog supplies! I love this awesome idea!
Love Waffle Flower and blog hops because they get me excited about stamping. Thank you for inspiring me.
Thank you for the great video.
Love all the swatch options!!! Now to make time and put them together! Thank you for sharing!!!
THIS IS AWESOME! 👍🏻👍🏻 I’ve been looking for a more compact way to swatch my colors and this is perfect! I’ll be putting my order in today. Cathy, thank you so much for making all your videos. They teach me so much and inspire me to try so many different things.
Super concept. I hope I find some time to do this for myself.
These are super cool! ❤ Thank you for the video!
This is a great set, I like to swatch when I need to give my creative mojo a jump start. I really like how compact the swatches are, I don’t have a lot of space and being able to see everything quickly is great. I think I wold just press the cardstock onto the ink pad to save some time, but they wouldn’t look as nice as yours.
Loving this> I have a swatch set but this is much more compact and I like that!
So excited about the new products.
That is awesome. I’m such an organization freak, this would be perfect.
Thanks for sharing.
I’ve added so many inks to my stash lately that I need new organization for them. Thanks for the video!!
Awesome swatches! I bought the previous swatching kits from WF but have not had a chance to swatch yet!
WHAT A GREAT JOB you’ve done with these swatches, Cathy! I LOVE IT when Waffle Flower comes out with ways of getting to know our colors better! It’s SO BASIC, but SO NEEDED, REALLY! A GREAT JOB for us!!! THANKS CATHY!!! ;)<3
Love these ideas so much!
So beautiful, these swatches look simply gorgeous!
WOW! Love these swatches set. Thank you for sharing them.
Oh my! This sure beats me stamping a little something each time I want to know what the color is when creating. I love these products and ideas for organization. Thanks for sharing these with us!
I’m excited to redo my very non-useful ink swatches and blending combos!
Love your organizing suggestions!
this is so up my obsessive compulsive alley! I could even do swatches for my comic markers! ?All 168 of the!
Wow, I saw this in the new release and thought I really didn’t need it. After watching you, I NEED THIS!!!!! What did I do without it? I might have to wait a couple of months to get it but I’m buying it!! It’s such a great set!! You have everything you need. I was going to do something else but this is much easier. Thanks Waffle Flower!!
Love this, I really need to swatch my inks and do color combos, I struggle with those. Thanks for sharing this with us Cathy!
what a great way of getting organized – should really take away the guess work when deciding color combos
awesome new products – great for getting organized
Thanks, Cathy. Swatching is so satisfying. Appreciate the tip on the brush cleaner!
Thank you so much for the video. These are awesome!
I recently added some new inks to my supplies and need to create swatch cards for them. This is so perfect!!
Ooh these swatches are awesome!! I’ve been so lazy to do them, but you inspire me to make 🙂
Thanks for sharing! This is fabulous!
Completely new to swatching and didn’t understand it until I saw this video. Love the idea and those stamps and dies would make that so easy — I’ve got TONS of inks!
Great ideas! Love how all the distress oxides are on a handful of cards yet you can see all the colours at a glance.
This is great. Thanks for the video.
I so need to do this! I have no where near the inks you have, Cathy, but this would be so helpful. I’ve thought about it often, but never got around to it. Your tutorial is so helpful & makes me want to get the stamps & dies (if I can figure out which ones). Thanks!
Thank you for the video. Now I can see that the Color Combos Tag die with the 3 openings doesn’t cut out the entire squares. That’s important to know.
These are awesome and I love all your ideas! I love how everything works together to organize the craftroom!
Your swatches look awesome – especially the blended ones 🙂
Wow–great idea to make these swatches.
Now that I’ve seen your video & the dies Waffle Flower has in this release the thought of making colour swatches doesn’t seem as daunting a prospect. Thanks!
Oh my! Wow!! I love these dies and stamps and what you did with them. I have always wanted to have a pretty yet useful way to know what inks, papers, and other items I have for scrapbook layouts and card making. These will work great.
Love these! Thanks for sharing a great way to get organized and inspired!
I’ve got so many ideas for these dies, well beyond swatching. So much fun. Love the video.
This release screams to me for a great retirement project [in 30 days!] Love this!
Is there anything more beautiful than organization in the craft room? ❤️
Awesome vide!
awesome colors
Love what you created with the new amazing products.
Wow. Another win for Waffle Flower…. well actually, every release is a win. Cathy your swatches are gorgeous.
I NEED TO DO THIS! What a great idea and informative video! THANK YOU!
This stamp and die set is absolutely must-have. Thanks a lot for the demo! xo
Great way to make swatches.
Thanks for sharing your swatching ideas!
The swatches are such a great idea!
Wow super cool-I want to get organized too!!! Thanks for explaining!
What a great way to see your colors and be able to visualize them before adding them to your project. You can never have too many colors and with all of the wonderful blending tools available it can be a bit overwhelming if you don’t have a reference. So excited about this hop!!
OH this is an organizational dream!
If you are like me..seeing a colour online,admiring it and then adding to wish list just to find that I already have that ink color !! Great idea to swatch all the ink colors..and combos too 🙂 Thanks a lot for inspiration.
These dies are so great for color organization! Thank you for all of your tips!
So inspiring! Thx for the vid.

know what colors I have available. this is
a fantastic idea. thanks for sharing the

Great way to organize your inks. Thank you!
Easy way to show all your inks.
Wow! So cool. Thanks for a great video.
I don’t know if anything can keep me organized, but this might be a good way to start trying!
A perfect set-up for organizing. I love it! And, as a 3rd and 4th grade teacher for 27 years, and I taught handwriting, yours is beautiful. Really. Keep on crafting!
These are amazing. I wish my inks were 1/3 this organized. Gorgeous!
Those seem really helpful for organization. It makes crafting so much easier when you know what you have.
Fabulous release from Waffle Flower.
Cathy thank you so much for going through your swatching ideas, this has helped me
understand how all these new products can be used.
