Postage Collage Christmas Cards

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a wonderful day. I am really excited to share some Christmas cards that I have made using the Waffle Flower Postage Collage stencils. I was inspired by the samples shared on their You Tube channel and I wanted to make some. I have been building up my collection of these stencils and I just love them.

To get to know how the stencils work, I created a card following the colours shared on the Waffle Flower blog.

Once I had a play, I found some Distress inks and had a play. I also added the Colouring stencil to have the postage stencil frame around the design. I found the by adding an extra 1/4 inch and trimming down, I had better luck with this stencil.

I really enjoyed creating these cards and appreciate being able to add to this collection.

Thinking of You

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today I am sharing a card with you that uses some new product PLUS lots of product from my stash. I think that while we love to buy new things, it's important to look at what we have and reimagine how they can be used once again.

I was very impressed with the Waffle Flower Postage Collage release. I purchased the die and one set of stencils. I love the vintage style in my crafting and I thought that I would incorporate this into my card.

I knew in advance which patterned papers I would be using and selected distress inks to compliment. Then I fussy cut vintage elements such as the clock and  aged some butterflies using vintage photo distress ink. I also had some vintage background stamps that I used to add to the vintage feel.

I added some flowers and twine and my card is complete!
