Waffle Flower July Release Day + GIVEAWAY

Hello!  Today is the big day!  Waffle Flower's Christmas in July release is live and ready for shopping.  Yay!  You can shop all the new goodies HERE.  Plus, I have a GIVEAWAY to share with you, so make sure you read to the bottom of the post. 

As I mentioned earlier this week, I love poinsettias, so I was eager to pull them out again to make another card. I am completely smitten with the PoinsettiaDie-n-stencil!  There are leaves built right into the design, or you can just make extra-large flowers like I did here. 

I actually started by making the leaf layer, but then I loved the green so much, I decided to make an entire poinsettia with it.  I used three shades of green for the green flower: sea glass, eucalyptus, and evergreen.  For the coral flower I used nectar, grapefruit, and sorbet. 

I wanted lots of shimmer and shine on this card, so I made a shaker out of the Sweet Plaid Panel Die and filled it full of sparkly things.  I pulled out sequins, beads, and jewels from Pretty Pink Posh to fill my shaker.  I also added shimmer paint flecks, gold pearls, and a gold embossed sentiment from The Family Christmas Sentiments.  These sentiments are fabulous, and I could have happily used them on every card. 

I framed the sentiment by pressing the edges of the rectangle into versamark ink and covering it with gold embossing powder. 

Finally I added a few enamel dots and pearls to the centers of the poinsettias and called it a day. :)

Thanks so much for visiting today!  All of these fabulous products and more are available today, so make sure you head over to the Waffle Flower Shop to check out this amazing new release.  But before you go, don't forget to enter the giveaway. :)
