Waltzingmouse Stamps October Release Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to Waltzingmouse Stamps October new release blog hop. If you've arrived here from Sarah's blog then you're on the right track, if not then you need to head back over to Claire's blog where the hop begins and where you'll find the full list of participants today

I do hope you've enjoyed the DT's previews over the last 3 days, as we showcased Seasonal Remedies, Nordic Winter, 2011 Holiday Ornaments and Santa's Coming to Town.

Today we have the final 2 fabulous sets - Candy Jar Christmas and Candy Jar Christmas Fillers.

All of the new sets will be available to purchase once the store re-opens at 7.15pm GMT {which is 15mins from now!!}

I made a little gift set of a Candy Jar and matching Card.

For the candy jar I made a rosette and adhered my image, from Candy Jar Christmas Fillers, into the centre. The image has been shaded using copic markers G20 & G21.

The circular sentiment is from the Candy Jar Christmas set.

These sentiments fit the Circle Nestabilities dies but I trimmed it out with a scissors and sponged the edges with Antique Linen distress ink.

Both the image and sentiment on my card are from Candy Jar Christmas. I hand cut around the image and mounted it on dimensionals. I cut the sentiment out using the 2011 Heirloom Nestabilities dies from Spellbinders.

There will be a prize of a stamp set of choice from a random drawing from one of the Design Team's blog so be sure to leave a comment on all the blogs. You will have until October 17th 11:59 PM, 5:5 9AM Central, 3:59 AM Pacific and 6:59 AM Eastern.
The winner will be selected on October 18th.

Thank you so much for dropping by. Next stop on the hop is Julia's blog.

Happy Hopping!

Waltzingmouse Stamps October Previews - Day 2

Good morning!! I do hope you're enjoying the Waltzingmouse Stamps previews. Today we have another fantastic set - Nordic Winter. I really had SO much fun with this set.

First I made a card and gift bag set, but the idea of the gift bag is to have some Reindeer Feed in it. The kids would LOVE.IT!!

This set is just so amazing that I even made my own background paper. Not a scrap of MME or BG to be seen!! The ink is Stampin' UP Ruby Red and for the sentiment I used Momento Rich Cocoa. Not sure where I got the red cardstock. The gingham ribbon is from my Raspberry Ribbons kits.

I stamped the gift bag using the same ink - SU Ruby Red - and added some narrower gingham ribbon through 2 punched holes to secure the top. The border work was done using Martha Stewart Antique Lace punch. I cut the circle and scalloped circle with Spellbinders Nestabilities.

While I had all the red and white out, lol, I decided to make a Stocking Gift Card Holder - which is a FREEBIE template over on the Waltzingmouse Stamps store. Again I used the SU Ruby Red ink to lay down my pattern and I sponged on some antique linen distress ink. I found some reindeer charms in my stash, perfect for this project.

The sentiment is from yesterday's preview set Seasonal Remedies.

As I said, I was having so much fun that I really didn't want to stop so I made another card.... only this time I DID break out the patterned papers - Bo Bunny Blitzen.

I stamped my reindeer image with Antique Linen Distress Ink and the sentiment with the Rich Cocoa Momento. I love how the sentiment fits perfectly between the Reindeer. I cut it out with Nestabilities Tags dies, added some blue organza ribbon and some pearls. All of my papers have been machine stitched.

I had one more project in the pipeline but the kiddos were home from school and they wanted dinner! I will save it for another day ;)

Thank you so much for dropping by, I hope you were inspired to be a little bit creative.

And here are the ladies who are previewing Nordic Winter today......
