Welcome to Waffle Flower’s October 2020 Release day!
October is the best of both worlds where we’re enjoying the beauty of fall while the excitement of the coming holidays is building! To celebrate this magical time of year, Waffle Flower is so excited to be releasing 6 new stamp sets, 8 standalone dies, and a new paper release!
For the autumn-lovers out there, we’ve got the beautiful Layered Sunflowers (stamp, die, combo) by a newcomer Susan Bates and the charming Pumpkin House (stamp, die, combo) by artist Cassie Loizeaux!
If you’re already diving into the holidays, we’ve got the adorable Holiday Cheese (stamp, die, combo) by Big Bear and Bird and versatile Merry Christmas (stamp, die, combo)! We’ve also got the Christmas Tree Panel (die), Winter Floral Panel (die), and Big Dots Holiday (stamp, die) by cardmaker JJ Bolton!
Speaking of the holidays, this month includes the holiday paper release! This release includes the holiday patterns: Happy Gnomes (paper), Christmas Stripes (paper), Half-Half Dots - Christmas (paper), and Half-Half Lines - Christmas (paper) and a new modern fall palette called Caprice: Half-Half Dots - Caprice (paper) and Half-Half Lines - Caprice (paper).

Watch the creation of these scenic slimline modern neutrals cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
I created two slimline style scenic cards for you today with a couple of new stamp/die combos form the release. Both card feature no-line coloring with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, a die cut Waffle Flower Modern Neutrals Patterned Paper background (the white on white really sets off the coloring) and a die cut border created with a Simon Says Stamp Slimline Marquee Die. Each card features one stamp/die combo! Got to love a card that can be completed with one stamp set!
HOLIDAY CHEESE CARD
A Waffle Flower Modern Neutrals Patterned Paper was die cut with a Simon Says Stamp Slimline Marquee Die. The panel was splattered with Lawn Fawn Pixie Stardust for a subtle shimmery effect. The panel was adhered over a contrasting color of cardstock die cut with a Slimline Nested Rectangle Die.
The images from the adorable Holiday Cheese stamp set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jellyfish No Line Coloring Ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:
- Cheese: Light Brown, Vanilla
- Greenery: Green, Light Green, Yellow Green, Mid Green, Olive Green
- Berries: Carmine Red, Light Carmine
- Paper: Brick Beige, Blender
- Tag: Mid Brown, Beige
- Mouse: Natural Gray, Warm Gray 2, Pale Pink
- Sign: Natural Gray, Light Gray, Mid Brown, Beige
- Mug: Natural Gray, Light Gray, Mid Brown, Beige
- Candy Cane: Light Gray, Carmine Red, Light Carmine
- Bees: Natural Gray, Warm Gray 2, Bright Yellow, Yellow, Pale Violet, Carmine Red, Light Carmine
Greetings from the stamp set were stamped on the cheese with black Versafine Onyx Black Ink and on the sign with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The images were die cut with the coordinating Holiday Cheese dies and adhered to the background with foam adhesive.
Snowflake and mini star confetti embellishments were added to the background for a touch of sparkle. Honey Gold Nuvo Crystal Drops were added to the center of the snowflakes. Heart accents were added to the mug.
I just love how the design of the patterned paper adds a subtle touch of design to the background!
PUMPKIN HOUSE CARD
A Waffle Flower Modern Neutrals Patterned Paper was die cut with a Simon Says Stamp Slimline Marquee Die. The panel was splattered with Lawn Fawn Pixie Stardust for a subtle shimmery effect. The panel was adhered over a contrasting color of cardstock die cut with a Slimline Nested Rectangle Die.
The images from the Pumpkin House stamp set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jellyfish No Line Coloring Ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:
- Trees, leaves: Light Brown, Vanilla, Deep Red, Pale Rose, Mid Green, Olive Green, Mustard, Blender, Mid Brown, Beige
- Mice: Natural Gray, Warm Gray 2, Pale Pink
- Pumpkin House: Brown, Light Brown, Vanilla, Bright Yellow, Yellow, Deep Blue, Haze Blue, Mid Brown, Beige
- Apple: Deep Red, Pale Rose, Mid Green, Olive Green, Mid Brown, Beige
- Pumpkin: Brick Beige, Blender, Mid Brown, Beige
- Acorn: Mid Brown, Beige
Detail was added to small lines (ladder, string of leaves, greeting banner) with a fine tip black pen.
The images were die cut with the coordinating Pumpkin House dies and adhered to the background with foam adhesive.
Gold mini star confetti embellishments were added to the background for an additional touch of sparkle.
The panels were adhered to white slimline card bases.
The finished cards measure 3 1/2" x 8 1/2".
