Card full of favorites, some new and some old

 Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a card using some of my favorite supplies, some new and some old! Starting with the new - an absolute staple in everyone's die collection are a few good card front dies, and this new Zig Zag Chevron die set is a must have for me. I love everything Chevron. I die cut it in white and then again with Waterfall and Beeswax cardstock. After adhering the white card front down on a card base, I added in a couple small strips of the colors at the bottom for small pops of color.

As for my old favorites, well the flower die set I used is my all time fav, Be Bold Blooms. I mean, can't go wrong with these pretty flowers! From time to time, I take out the dies and die cut from some pretty cardstock to replenish my stash (check out this post to see how I store my die cuts). I picked some blooms for this card.

 And something else that's fast becoming a favorite are wax seals. I spent some time over the weekend making some seals in a variety of colors to keep on hand. I am happy to say, I'm finally getting better making these. For me the game changer was pouring the wax directly on my glass mat. Originally I was using a small silicone mat to pour on, but it started to warp and my wax wasn't forming a circle. It would slant and drip with the warps. So happy I tried on my glass mat. Give it a try if you are struggling with a nice pour.

Supplies used on this card
Bee wax seal stamp from Amazon
Yana's Special Sentiments Glimmer
Spellbinders cardstock in Beeswax, Tuscan, Fern, Teal Topaz, Waterfall and White

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day! Here's a close up of the wax seal.
