TAKE 3 Tuesday – Waffle Paper – New from Stampin’ UP!

This new embellishment is described like this in the holiday mini (you can order beginning tomorrow)… “Waffle textured paper ideal for adding dimension to your projects. Super thin, but thick enough to mold and shape. Great for making ruffled accents. “  There are 2 assortments available Gold/Silver  and Early Espresso/Basic Black – each roll in the pack is 8″ wide and 5 yards! WOW..

While they suggest “ruffles” go beyond ruffles. I used the waffle paper here to create unique background papers, flower stems and even embossed it with a texture impressions folder.

Ohhhhhh the “waffle-bilities”…

Waffle Scrapbook Page -  On this page I adhered the waffle paper to a piece of cardstock (great to cover those scraps because it doesn’t matter what color is underneath) and I created stems for my flowers with waffle paper.
