Hello, friends! I hope you are enjoying your weekend. I am back to share a few more cards that I made with the Quilted Hugs Release from Waffle Flower. There are several stencil sets in the release that were designed to work with one of the new cover dies. I wanted to show how these stencils can be used on their own, as well. So, one of my cards today uses the die, and the other doesn’t. And, I love them both! By the way, if you missed the original set of cards that I made with the release, CLICK HERE to see those.

Both of my cards today feature the new Patchwork Stencil. I wanted to show how it can be used with and without the new Tiny Square Texture Die. This die is so versatile, and there are several other stencil sets that Waffle Flower designed for it. My first card shows how the stenciled design looks with the die. I die cut my white panel before stenciling. There are three stencils in the set, and they are all really easy to line up. For my colors today, I decided to continue with a color trio that I discovered on a previous card for this release. I used Distress Oxide Ink in Tattered Rose, Frayed Burlap, and Speckled Egg.
The beautiful scissors and pin cushion come from the new Notions die set. You can check out the video to see how I made the handles of the scissors look like they have an enamel finish. The rest of the accessories come from the Sew Fun Die set. Because I have so many elements on this card, I decided to add some vellum in order to mute the background. The new Quilted Frames Die was the perfect way to separate the vellum from the rest of the card panel. To finish the card, I chose a sentiment from the Quilted Hug Sentiments Combo.
This second card shows how you don’t need to have the Tiny Square Texture Die in order to use the Patchwork Stencil. I think it looks just as great without it! I chose to use the same colors for stenciling this second card so that it would be easier to compare the two. I decided to pull out some dies from my stash for this card. This bear is the smallest bear from the Intertwined Bear Hugs set. The flower is also from that set. I used the same Distress Oxide colors to color the bear and the flower/stem. I did pull in some Uncharted Mariner Distress Ink to add some darker tones to the stem so that it would stand out more. The frame is from the Pinking Square Frames, and the adorable word die is from the Retro Hugs Die.
That is it for my cards today. I hope they bring a smile to your face. As always, I appreciate you visiting my blog.
Wishing you all a crafty day,
Allison
