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

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!
