Welcome to Waffle Flower’s May 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 for social butterflies!
Ever make a card and think: “Nailed it!”?
That is how I feel about the card I’m sharing today. The stars—or butterflies!—aligned, and a clean and simple bit of happiness ensued! Plus, I created a bonus card with the outline leftovers!
Here is my video showing you how I created this card:

Hi, CZ –
I’m so impressed at this release! I just love it. I did not get the label maker sentiments (or the die) but now that I have seen it in action in a few of these hop cards, I am rethinking that decision. I like that I would not have to emboss a sentiment and I like the very retro look of it. I did not have the funds… because I got “the bundle” (something I almost never do!!). I adore your card and appreciate the CAS look of many of your cards!
Yes, I get nervous (too) for a big stamp – esp one like the one you used w/ lots of solid area.
I think you got a threefer, not a twofer… The outline on your watercolor paper could create a third card, esp if you had gone to the edge with your painting.
I could tell how delighted you were with card #1. It came through loud and clear. Glad your “booper” is working again, so to speak. Sorry if that is too personal a comment. 😂

I agree — you nailed it! (You asked if I had ever created a card and felt like I nailed. Yes, but very rarely. And I keep those cards and try to recreate them, which never works as well!) I really love that die.

Clean and simple and so lovely, Cathy! I can see why your raised butterflies card is your fave of the week– deservedly so. I think this release with all of the butterflies & variety of sentiments, may end up being being my fave of the month…

Very interesting using the leftover outlines of the butterflies making a separate card.

Giselle D. says
I love that feeling you get when all the stars align and my card turns out better than I imagined! I love both of your cards! Just a question, wouldn’t the Press n Seal hold all the pieces negating the need for the tape? I haven’t really used it much so I could be wrong. I know that when I tried to get the pieces off it was somewhat of a battle for me!
JenniferPetty says
Thank you for sharing your beautiful card with us. It looks so much fun making it. It helped me think of how you could use any color and can’t wait until I can get it and try some fun things, thank you for everything.

Suzanne Hue says
I saw your video. I had to get the die! Lol. Great job!
margaretk says
Love this card so much! I had to buy the die. I tried your post it tape trick and it worked. Then I tried stamping the die itself and cutting it out for the base. It seemed to work better. At least the base was sturdier. Not sure that it was much faster though.
