Waltzingmouse Stamps Preview - Day Four!

Well, we have reached our last day of previews of Waltzingmouse Stamps and then tomorrow is our Design Team Release Blog Waltz (Waltzingmouse's version of a Blog Hop!) when Claire will be showing you all eight of the stamp sets in their entirety and let me tell you they are magnificent!

We have all been working very hard on these beautiful sets and I hope you have liked what you have seen!  Take a look at this post here to find out how you may be able to win all eight stamp sets! wahoo!

For my final card for our previews I am again using the Picnic Patterns and Very Vintage Labels 10 - can't get enough of those two!

The sentiment is from another new set called Fancy Phrases and although they are all designed to fit inside the Spellbinders Fancy Tags dies, I chose to use the Very Vintage Labels 10.

I did adhere one of the Fancy Tags die cuts behind the Labels 10, to make it kind of fancy!

Thanks for popping around and please take a look at Lisa, Jennifer, Anya, Laurie, and Julia's blogs as they are previewing today also! Don't forget to leave them a little love!

Waltzingmouse Stamps Preview - Day Two

Oh yes....good morning and welcome to MY turn (lol!) to preview Waltzingmouse Stamps new sets today!

Actually I think all of us are previewing today so you are in for quite a treat!

Today I am giving you a preview of three sets that are being released on May 1st - Picnic Patterns, Words of Wisdom, and Very Vintage Labels 10 - to match the Spellbinders Dies - whoop whoop!!

I love the look of Hawaiian Shores on kraft cardstock and so I took this wonderful opportunity to make up a card with just those colours!

The bottom of the front panel is stamped with one of the backgrounds from Picnic Patterns - such a fun set - as are all the background sets.

I stamped the Very Vintage Labels 10 stamp, cut it out with the Spellbinders Labels Ten die - perfect match! and then stamped the sentiment from Words of Wisdom in Hawaiian Shores - absolutely love it!

I distressed around the edges with my Heidi Swapp edge distresser but your fingernail would work just as well.

To tell you the truth, I was looking for a piece of twine that I had just cut, and I found the edge distresser under a bunch of scrap cardstock just about the time I was wondering whether to distress the card with my already broken fingernail or not - I decided that must definitely be a sign that I should distress... lol! Never did find the twine.....

Take a run around to look at Julia, Belinda, Anya, Laurie, Jennifer, and Lynn's designs - you are in for a wonderful time!! Oh dear, and don't forget about Claire - and give her a {hug} because she is not feeling the greatest.....

Stamps: Picnic Patterns, Words of Wisdom, Very Vintage Labels 10 (Waltzingmouse Stamps) Cardstock: Kraft (Papertrey Ink) Ink: Hawaiian Shores (Papertrey Ink), Vintage Photo (Ranger) Accessories: Spellbinders labels Ten Nestabilities, twine, Hawaiian Shores button and ribbon (Papertrey Ink), edge distressor (Heidi Swapp)
