Hello in Russian, German and Spanish!!!

 I am excited to announce that I have joined the Design Team for a new online store called Crafty Meraki! Her shop has a good selection of top brand crafty companies and many are from overseas which cuts down on the cost of shipping when you get it from her in the US! Plus, right now, the shipping would be so much quicker!

Talking about overseas, I made a fun card saying "HI" from around the world using the new Waffle Flower stamps!

I used these products from the Crafty Meraki store:

• Waffle Flower Prost Germany stamps & coordinating dies
• Waffle Flower Hola Mexico stamps & coordinating dies
• Waffle Flower From Russia with Love stamps & coordinating dies
• Pinkfresh Studio Slim Braided Circles die
• Distress Oxide Inks: Tumbled Glass

I began my card with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base which is the perfect size for your standard envelopes.

For the background, I first die cut the circle frame from thick white cardstock. I trimmed a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock to fit behind the circles and inked with tumbled glass. I set that aside while I worked on the images.

I stamped all the images from the Waffle Flower stamp sets listed above in Versafine Onyx ink on Bristol Smooth, colored them with Zig watercolor markers and used the coordinating dies also listed above to cut them out.

To put the card together, I used foam tape to adhere the frame to the inked card base and glued the background colored images into the circles. I then stamped the sentiments from each of the Waffle Flower stamp sets and added the girls with foam tape to give lots of dimension to my card.

I finished with a few yellow domes.

Thank you for stopping by and check out this new shop, I know you will find something you like!
