Creating with new foil plates from Waffle Flower Crafts! (+ a fun blog hop!)

Welcome to the July release blog hop for Waffle Flower Crafts. Today’s hop is all about the holidays—yes, it’s Christmas in July!—and what better time to start planning for those holiday cards.

I just LOVE this new Outlined Pine Tree Foil Plate and wanted to create a cool, wintry design.

Plus the Essential Christmas Diecuts are SO easy to pop onto the finished card. Look at the shine:

As you’ll see in my tutorial, however, I don’t always nail my hot foil plans on the first go round. But hey, half the fun is learning, right? Watch the video here:

    This has got to be one of the most unique designs I’ve seen and in foiling too! You made a wonderful card with the ombre background that makes it look like a serene winter scene. And so simple but such a wow!

    I love this tree die–it’s gorgeous and so is your card! I haven’t gotten into hot foiling, space is limited as is budget. However, I do love the look and I will watch your video during my “lunch” break.

  27. Sue Smith says

    The first time I saw this tree die I knew it would make fantastic Christmas cards, and you did just that. Love the colors you used. Absolutely stunning ❤

  29. Sharon Gullikson says

    Beautiful card! I love your “keeping-it-real” videos – they make me feel good about myself as a not-so-perfect crafter who just enjoys the hobby.

    I love the pretty purple and I can’t wait to be off work to watch your “fail” video. I like it when you share things that don’t go perfectly…gives the rest of us hope!
