Welcome to the July New Release blog hop for Waffle Flower! While there are lots of great holiday goodies in this release, I’m excited about the Postage Collage Stencils and Dies! And, the brand new Grip Mats!
How fun is this stencil/die combo?
I went with a very simple design but there are SO many ways you can play with these products!
I used one of my favorite older stamp sets, Sentiment Additions 2, for a simple greeting.
Here is my video to show you this card AND the new Grip Mats in action!
Also, if you’re looking for some favorite Waffle Flower holiday items, there is a Christmas Favorites restock happening right now for a limited time!

Just LOVE this card!!!
Kay Furnish says
I watched the video on YouTube before I realized it was a Blog Hop, so you got a THUMBS UP over there, and a comment here! LOL I loved your reaction when you die cut the postage collage. Boy, did that die do the job right!! I think I’m going to have to have the grip mats that fit the Misti – probably both the Original and the Mini sizes. It would be great to not have to mess with magnets or tape anymore. Thanks for a great video, Cathy!!!
Kat Ahrent says
Love your colors and card idea.
Ann H says

Stacy H. says
Those Postage Collage items are so unique!
Cynthia Evanoff says
This is a great set. You did a wonderful video showing it off as well as those STICKY MATS. Thanks.
Sheri Kempke says
Lovely card–love this postage stamp look. I’m also in love with the new grip mats from Waffleflower, I adore my Misti and this looks like it will make it even better. My only concern, for red rubber cling stamps, you have to remove the mat and still use the magnets–or one of the other sticky mats. Nina from Waffleflower is pure genius to come up with this, I use her mini-media mat and her large stencil mat has a permanent spot on my crafting table.
Paula Haller says
Your cards with their clean, fresh look and gorgeous color palettes are always my favorites!
Jeanne Beam says
Gorgeous card! Love the new release. The grip mats seems like an awesome product.

I’ve been thinking about a grip mat to use in my MISTI. Seems like a great idea. Also great for stenciling. Cathy, as an over-adheser, this might be a challenge for you 🙂 🙂 🙂

Very fun to watch, Cathy! I may “need” a mat for my misti, and give it a test run😃. Your card is so purty, and I love your color palette. I think it would also be cute to cut the stamps apart, and use them as gift tags, to decorate packages, and also as postage for your hand delivered cards! Great tips, great video💜💜💜
