Holly Day Wishes – Day 2 of Waltzingmouse Peeks


Hello there blog friends!!  Thank you so much for the words of encouragement on joining the design team of Waltzingmouse Stamps.  Did you surf around to see all the creations from the other Design Team Members?  Beautiful creations, yah?  Well today we’re moving along to a new set called Say it Loud-Autumn/Winter – I don’t think I could even begin to count the combination of words, phrases and sentiment this set will be able to make!!  I skipped right to Christmas to make a traditional style card that has a couple of layers, but for me is really clean and simple.  Remember, this is only Day Two of our release previews and there are two more days to come!

I stacked up a couple of Spellbinders die templates to get the lacey look on my medallion.  Starting with a base of Spellbinders™ Labels Sixteen, I added Spellbinders™ Holly Motifs and colored the leaves with a colored pencil while in the die template.  I then added Spellbinders™ Lacey Circles and topped off with Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG.  For my card base I cut the border from Spellbinders™ Lace Doily Accents and stitched it to the bottom of my card – I think that must be my favorite border these days!!

SUPPLIES I USED
StampsWaltzingmouse Stamps – Say It Loud – Autumn/Winter, Text-It
Paper:  PTI Kraft, Red, Coredinations – Ice Cream,
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Warm Red, Versamark
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Holly Motifs, Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG, Spellbinders™

  • Charlotte ZweigoronSeptember 17, 2011 - 9:42 am

    Beautiful, Becca! And that goes two ways… I was looking at your website last night and my little 5-year old granddaughter was sitting on my lap when I opened the site. The first thing she said was, “She’s a pretty lady…” Well, from the mouths of babes! So glad you’re up and running; There is always a little sigh of disappointment when I open your site and don’t see a new creation. At the same time, I could never keep up with you! You’re amazing!ReplyCancel
