Waltzingmouse Blog Waltz

It's WALTZ Time! I'm joining the Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz this month. The theme this month is Halloween, but since I don't have any halloween stamps, I decided to use fall colors and the 'give thanks' idea. Sorry that I'm not following the rules, but.....I can't miss a waltz! I hope no one really minds.



I stamped the background paper with one of the stamps from the new set called Victorian Fripperie It's a great set to use for all kinds of things. It's so versatile. I used clear embossing powder on it and set it with my heat gun. Then I used my sponges and some distress ink and sponged the paper. I used the medallion stamp from the same set and stamped it in chocolate chip ink for the centre and cut it out with my spellbinders nesties. I used the scalloped circles nestie on the piece behind it. I added in some orange ribbon.

I hope you enjoy my card. Be sure to become a member of the Forum at Waltzingmouse stamps so you can get all the links to the other cards on this waltz. It doesn't take much time to join up and then you too can be a part of the fun and games over at Waltzingmouse Stamps!

Happy Halloween!

Hi there.

This is my entry for the Waltzingmouse stamps Blog Waltz. I created a rubber bank box using the template I purchased from their website. I then used their stamps to create my own patterned paper. I used my nestabilities to cut out the front panel and then stamped it with more Waltzingmouse stamps. A few rhinestones for bling, and voila! a gift pack for my mom for mother's day.



I hope you like it!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

I hope all of you are enjoying St. Patrick's day.

It's been rather low key at work, but some actually remembered to wear green. I however, totally forgot, as I opted to wear the outfit that required no ironing versus the green shirt that did. Oh well, at least I made a card for the occassion.

I am joining Waltzingmouse Stamps on their blog hop. Check out Claire's site for all the details. You can find the links to all the participants in the forum (you'll have to register first, but it's easy).

I created a card using the digital image that Claire provided last week. I stamped it twice on copic paper and then I colored it with my copics. I cut out one image using the oval nestabilities, and I cut out two little shamrocks on the other image. I used those shamrocks on pop dots to add dimension to my card. I also used my scalloped oval nestabilities to provide a frame for the image. I used ribbon to embellish and voila! Card created.



I really like the patterned paper--and I'll have to update this post later with the company name as I can't remember right now. The patterned paper sure adds to the overall feel of the card.


Be sure to check out the other stamps that Claire creates. Her work is lovely. I am a big fan--I've got a number of sets, and I know I'll be getting more. I particularly like the stamps that work with spellbinder nestabilities. What a great addition to my collection.

Feel free to follow my blog--if I get enough followers I'm thinking of giving away some blog candy.

Have a great hop!

Valentine's Day

Here's my first Valentine's Day card for this year. I just love this new stamp set I got. I purchased some stamp from Waltzingmouse stamps

I really like Claire's stamps. She's got some great new packaging, and the stamps are high quality. I must comment on the shipping time too---it was really fast and that's one thing I love. When I order stamps, I really want to try them out, so it's great to have them arrive so quickly. Thanks Claire! I used the nestie friendly stamps to embellish the nestability I used.

The sentiment is from Verve Stamps They've got some great stamps too. You should check out their stamps---wonderful.




Anyway, the card was easy to put together. The satin ribbon (originally white) is from the local fabric store, and I used the fuschia ink to color it. Cool!

Hope you like it!
