Waffle Flower Crafts is turning 6 and today I’m happy to be part of a blog hop featuring crafty people sharing their six favorites from Waffle Flower Crafts. I’m going to start with not only my number one favorite from them, but possibly my favorite product of the past year. Please note: click on any image below to see my original blog post and related tutorial!
NUMBER ONE: A2 Layers Dies
If you watch my YouTube channel, I use this set on nearly every card project I create! Here are a few recents:
My favorite thing to do on any card is to cut a perfectly trimmed panel for mounting onto a card base with lovely framing white space coming through. This die set is such an all purpose basic, I cannot recommend it more highly than I do. Which brings me to No. 1, part 2:
NUMBER ONE (continued): Additional A2 Layers Dies
Yes, now you can have every imaginable size, all nested together in perfection.
NUMBERS TWO, THREE and FOUR: Swatching Tools
I have to list each set as its own item and I really feel these swatching tools are game changers for crafty people who want to get organized.
TWO: Color Combos Die set
THREE: Combo Tag and Larger Tag
FOUR: Bullet List Stamp Set
NUMBER FIVE: The Mini Media Water Mat
The Mini Media water mat is the coolest little silicon mat perfect for all your crafty painting or ink blending and it’s compact size will work in any crafty space.
NUMBER SIX: Stardust Enamel Dots
I am in love with these enamel dots! In this package, they have white and clear, with just a touch of sparkle. I used them on this project, as well:
They just make it so easy to add clear enamel dots with zero mess!

Layering die Sets are awesome, only have a few waffle flower products but look forward to getting more during a sale 😉 or if I’m lucky enough to win a gift card 😜
A2 dies I’ve been eyeing. Love your c&s style!
This post makes me want to get organized! Great cards as well.
So many dies in that rectangle die set! Perfect!
Great product mentions, I’ve been considering the water color mate and swatching tools, just hadn’t had time–but under the current conditions, I may just get to that project! Congrats Nina and Waffleflower on 6 amazing years!
Your projects are always so bright and happy!
Beautiful cards! I LOVE the swatching and great colors!
SUPER CHOICES, Cathy!!! I LOVE the organizing tools of WF too! You’ve made me look at a few tools differently too….. 😉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Waffle Flower! HOPE NINA sends you a BIG PIECE OF CAKE!!! ;)<3
I love watching your videos because your cards seem like something I can actually aspire to do! So pretty and creative.
Thanks for sharing your pretty cards! I can totally see how useful those A2 dies would be!
Always love you style.
I also love their swatching dies & stamps, I bought them all! Now I need to get down to using them ! Thanks for all the inspiration!
The Layering dies are a must have! Love all the beautiful projects. Thanks for sharing your six favorites.
Your cards are so pretty… thanks for sharing!
Thanks for all the info on Waffle Flowers. I definitely need the A2 dies
I love theCross card
Hi Cathy! You are the reason I finally bought the swatch tools. Until I saw how you used them back when you originally posted about them I didn’t think I needed them! Thanks so much for all you do! I’m so glad you finally added card and stamp making to your talents!
Super selection!
Oh those layered dies would be awesome. I have several but not those. Thanks, Cathy.
I also love the A2 layer dies! A must-have!
Oh noooo I need to un-see the first part of your post. I can’t possible get more A2 rectangle dies. Though I do love what you did with them. And I can see how great they would be. You definitely have me tempted!
Waffle Flower has so many great basics and supplies that you need! My list is ever growing, love the projects you shared!
Thank you from Australia 🇦🇺 It’s so wonderful to have you all to help keep us busy in these challenging times. I love my A7 rectangle dies. I’d like to keep adding the rest of them. Thanks for the fantastic inspiration, keep it coming💖
I use my layering dies not only to cut panels, but to compose my focal pieces by placing various dies/stamps inside and around the die to make sure of the fit. They are wonderfully helpful!
Totally agree with the A2 dies. I will definitely purchase some if I don’t win a giveaway. I love the super sweet BDAY card. It is adorable. I’ve said it on other parts of the hop but I really appreciate you NOT trying to get everyone to purchase the items during these crazy times. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Oooooh I do love me some nested dies and these A2 ones look perfect!
Wow! All of your items are beautiful.
Pretty cards! I love the layering and bright colors against the white. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve got their swatching sets and love them!
Great picks! Love your clean and simple style!
Beautiful cards! Starting to see a theme… think I may need help organizing my inks to make them more accessible for choosing color combos.
Hi Cathy, I love the first flower card and how you did the color samples and combos. If I only had time..….. I also wanted to thank you again for making me a logo for Campfire Children in Dec. 2018. You are awesome and such a caring person. Just had to add this and let you know you are appreciated for ALL you do. :0)
Cathy, I love your flower card and the color samples and swatches. Awesome! I also wanted to thank you for the logo you made me for Campfire children. It was so nice of you and just perfect. It made my project more professional. The children loved their cards. You and your art are inspirational to all. Thank you
Love your cards. Everything is beautiful!
Thanks Cathy….always love your cards and I’m getting inspired to make swatches!
Congrats Waffle Flower! You rocked their sets on all of these cards!
I REMEMBER SEEING SOME OF THESE CARDS BEFORE. VERY PRETTY. I AGREE, I NEED THOSE A2 RECTANGLE DIES, SURE WOULD MAKE THINGS EASIER. THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION AND PLEASE STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY!
I absolutely love your Easter/cross card. Beautiful rainbow/promise colors with a bright sunshine of hope. Perfect for the occasion! May you have a blessed Easter in spite of the difficult circumstances we are facing. Congrats to Waffle Flower!
I love how you really use all your Waffle Flower products! I’ve seen you do so many times in your videos! I’m going to have to rewatch the swatching videos – those tools look so helpful now that I have more inks! YAY, Waffle Flower! Happy 6 years! 🎉❤️🌈
These are all such beautiful cards and great inspiration. The colour swatch stamps and dies have featured alot in the blog hop and I definitely need them now.
The colouring on the cross is absolutely stunning.
Stay safe and keep crafting.

I love all your cards. They are simple enough that even the very beginner can do, yet elegant enough that it looks like it would take forever to do. Thanks for all you do for us!
Love the mini mat
I love the layering dies too Cathy (stems back to my matting scrapbook pages days), for some reason I have always been drawn to matting pics as well as card fronts. Until today I wasn’t aware of the mini media mat, it’s so cute but I am holding out for the big one! 🤪
Great cards and stay well Cathy!
WOW! A fabulous array of cards/projects/tips & techniques to showcase your Top 6! Even your swatches are lovely works-of-art! Thank you for the inspiration and smiles!

What fun to see your favorites. You have put the rectangular nesting dies on my radar, for sure. I love how you reach for them in your videos….they were out of stock last time I checked.
