Waffle Flower Stitched Flower Panel Trio

Hello Friends, and welcome back! How’s your week going? Today I’m sharing a trio of cards that I created using the Waffle Flower Stitched Flower Panel Die. I’m really having fun with it, because I used different colored cardstock which has given me the ability to make lots of cards. So, let’s get into the project.

I began the project by cutting the panel die once from Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock. I then used seventeen different colors of Sizzix cardstock and cut the panel die from ALL of those. Yes, that was quite tedious, but in the end, it has given me enough stitched flowers to make seventeen cards, right!?!? Actually, it has given me the ability to make even more because I had to cut a white panel for each card, so the white stitched flowers are being used to make seventeen other cards that I’ll share in a few days!!

Anyhoo, so once everything was cut, I flipped the white panel over, so the back is facing up, and I inlaid the stitched flowers, face down in rainbow order (for most of them), and applied foam tape in big strips across the back of the whole panel. By doing it in large strips, it was much faster and it holds all of the flowers in place. I removed the foam tape backing and adhered the whole panel to my card base, which is also Neenah 110lb.

Now, it’s just a matter of choosing sentiments! For this trio, I chose to use the Oversized Hugs Die from Waffle Flower, Happy Birthday from PinkFresh Studio Perfect Sentiments, and Happy Everything from Simon Says Stamp. All of the sentiments were cut several times and adhered together using Craft Tacky Glue. To dress up one of the cards, I also used PinkFresh Studio Jewels Mix to add some bling. This is just three cards, I still have fourteen more that are assembled, I just need to put sentiments on those and they’ll be ready to go.

That does it for this trio of cards! I hope you enjoyed this project and that it inspires you to get crafty! Making cards like this is a bit tedious, I won’t lie about that, but I love the impact that you get from all of the rainbow colors! And .. I love that I now have seventeen cards added to my stash, with more on the way using all of the white stitched flowers from the frames used on these cards!

Stay awesome friends!
