Tree-Mendous Christmas

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing the last of the Postal Collage Christmas cards, I have shared recently. Again this card uses products from Waffle Flower Crafts and Spellbinders. This is another 5 x 7 card, which I prefer over A2 sized cards.

The Postage Collage stencil used here is called Vertical Tree and is another from Waffle Flower Crafts. After stencilling the tree, I splattered over the whole image using white paint for a snowy look.

For the background I used Spellbinders Starry Snowfall 3D Embossing Folder, apply white pigment ink to the raised areas after embossing.

To finish off the front of the card I added an older sentiment from Made To Surprise.

For the inside of my card I added a panel of embossed card to the bottom of the card.

I also added a Christmas sentiment and postage cancellation images which are all from Made to Surprise.

 

Red & Green Merry Christmas

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing four more Christmas cards I created recently using stencils & foil plates.

These cards were created using Spellbinders Baubles & Festive Background Stencil which was the Stencil of the Month for October 2024. I used red & green inks for the baubles and then used a gold texture paste for the hanger.

I used Waffle Flower Crafts Merry Christmas Duo & it’s coordinating foil plate for the sentiment for the two cards above.

For this card, I used a Spellbinders sentiment which is the negative image of my foiled sentiment.

When I was adding the gold texture paste, I got some where I didn’t want it. As I didn’t want to waste the panel, I cut the layers smaller for this one,

For the inside of my card I stamped a Christmas sentiment from Divinity Designs using Metallic Gold ink.

Snowman Post

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Postage Collage Christmas Card using products from Waffle Flower Crafts & Spellbinders.

The stencil to create the Snowman design is called Snowman and is from Waffle Flower Crafts. this is another stencil I got last year and ran out of time to use it, so I made sure I added it to my supplies to make cards this year.

For the background I used Spellbinders Snowfall Shimmer Betterpress Plate which I glimmered onto Waterfall cardstock using white foil. As I created a 5 x 7 card, I had to glimmer the card twice, the plate isn't continuous, but it doesn't look to noticeable seeing only a small amount is seen around the background.

The sentiment is another Betterpress plate from Spellbinders whic was also glimmered this time with black foil. These sentiments are the reverse using the left over foil from the first foiling.

For the inside I added another panel of the glimmered background.

I then added a glimmered sentiment and two postage cancellation images.

 

You've Been Good

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another Postage Collage Christmas card which uses products from Waffle Flower Crafts & Spellbinders.

The postage collage stencil used here is called Dear Santa and is from Waffle Flower Crafts. I also used the Postage Collage die snd two different Postage themed stamp sets from Waffle Flower Crafts & Made To Surprise.

For the background I used the Peppermint Stripes 3D Embossing Folder, I embossed using white card and then used red ink to swipe over the raised areas.

Finally I added the sentiment which is an older die from Honey Bee Stamps.

For the inside of the card, I added sentiment and a couple more of the postage themed cancellation stamps to the inside of the card.

 

Gingerbread Hugs Postage

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog,  Today I am sharing a Christmas theme Postage Collage Card using products from Waffle Flower Crafts & Spellbinders.

The Gingerbread Postage design was created using Waffle Flower Crafts Gingerbread Postage Collage Stencil and the coordinating Postage Collage die sets. The stencil is one I.got last year, but ran out of time to use it then,  so it has been one I wanted to use this year. I also added a combination of postage stamps to the finished design from both Waffle Flower Crafts & Made To Surprise.

For the background on my 5 x 7 card, I used Spellbinders Waffle Cone 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment is also from Spellbinders.

For the inside I added the embossed border along the bottom of the card.

I also added the Gingerbread thened sentiment & the cute gingerbread girl & boy which are all from a stamp set from Chloes Creative Cards.

A Patchwork of Happiness

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Sewing themed Circle Accordion Card using products from Made To Surprise and Waffle Flower Crafts.

I made this for my friend, who loves sewing, especially quilting etc so I normally make her a card with this theme each year. This year when Waffle Flower released all the sewing themed products I had to get some for this card.

The card base itself was created using Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott's Circle Accordion Showstopper die set which is one that was released a few months back.

For the centre circle panel, I used Waffle Flower's Meandering Texture Die to add the texture to the background, this was also used on all the oval panels and the skinny rectangle panels. I used dies from the Notions die set to add the sewing tools. The postage stamps were created using Waffle Flower's Postage Collage die set and the Postage Collage Sew Fun Stencil. Rather than using the full panel, I cut this panel up to add to the card.

For all the quilted panels I used the Quilted Floral Stencil with the Meandering Texture Die to give them. that quilted look.

The sentiments are all from the Quilted Hugs stamp set.

Here is a look at my card, when it is folded to be placed in an envelope. It will fit inside a 5 x 7 envelope.

 

Quilted My Thoughts

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing two postage style cards that having a sewing/quilting theme, that I created recently.

My cards using Waffle Flower Crafts Postage Collage die set along with the Postage Collage Sew Fun Stencil set. After finishing the postage frames, I embellished the frames using the Sew Fun stamp set which includes fun postage & sewing themed images to add to the panel. 

I added a sentiment from the Quilted Hugs stamp set.

My postage panel was added to a 5 x 7 card, I used the Meandering Texture die to add some texture to the orange panel of my background. If you look closely at the photo above, you can see the dotted lines all over the background.

For the inside I added another orange panel with the Meandering Texture die added to it. I added another sentiment and two of the postage stamps which I had cut apart from another postage panel I had made.

 

Nativity Open Book

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I have three Nativity themed Mini Slimline cards I created for Christmas in July.

For this card I used Waffle Flower Crafts Open Book die set along with the Open Book Nativity Stencil.

The background was created using Trinity Stamps Time Warp Letterpress Plate which I gold foiled onto white cardstock. I die cut the panel using Waffle Flower Crafts Mini Slimline Layers die set. 

The sentiment is from the Open Book Holiday sentiment stamp set. 

For the inside I added another sentiment from the stamp set. I added a star above using one of the stencils.

Elf Hats

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing four Christmas themed Slimline cards I created for Christmas in July. I didn’t manage to post any Christmas cards on my blog last week, so I am making sure I do this week.

For my cards I have used Waffle Flower Crafts Elf Hat die set which was recently released. This is such a fun die set.

As you can see, I die cut two hats per card and added a portion of a face using a circle die from my stash. I adhered one to the bottom right corner, and the other to the top left corner. I added googly eyes to the bottom elf,

I couldn’t decide which patterned paper to use, so I used two different ones. But otherwise they are the same. Although one card, the elf does have eyes on the top elf which the others don’t have, as the face area ended up being larger.

For the sentiment, I used Waffle Flower Crafts Elf Sentiments stamp/die set. 

I added another of the sentiments from the stamp set on the inside of my card. I also added the left over gold glitter pieces that came out of the bell.

 

Seas The Day

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing two beach themed 5 x 7 postage cards I created recently.  Both cards use the Waffle Flowet Crafts Coastal Postage Collage stencil and Postage Collage die sets.

For the first card, I cut apart the postage stamps and added them to the top portion of the card.

I decorated the lower portion using Waffle Flower Crafts Coastline Die-N-Stencil. I added a sentiment from Spellbinders June 2025 Stamp of the Month.

The red base panel was embossed using Spellbinders Mariners Weave Embossing Folder for June.

For the inside I added two more of the postage stamps & another sentiment.

For my second card, I kept the Postage Collage panel in tact. I layered it to my 5 x 7 card base which I have again embossed using the Mariners Weave  Embossing Folder.

For the inside of the card, I added the lighthouse using Spellbinders Large Die for June 2025. I also added a sentiment from the Clear Stamp for June 2025.
