More fun with stencils + a Waffle Flower Blog Hop

More fun with stencils + a Waffle Flower Blog Hop

It’s blog hop day for the new release from Waffle Flower Crafts. If you have arrived here from my sister from another mister, Laura Bassen, welcome!

I have a very cheery, shiny card project to share with you today that is all about hope.

Using the cool side of the rainbow, I created a simple blend using the new Sunburst Stencil.

I love how the shiny Oversized Hope Word die brings it all together! Glitter cardstock is so fun to play with. No mess!

Here is the video showing you how I created the card:

    I do love glitter card stock, especially when it means no glitter in the dining room/craft room. Love your color combo. It’s my favorite for Easter/Spring.
