Hi there blog friends! We are to Day Three of releases for the Waltzingmouse Stamps February sets. Today we’re introducing two more new sets – Compact Sentiments and Heritage Patterns. I couldn’t resist stamping out the harlequin pattern to use for my background on Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Three! For the rest of my card I went with tones of an aqua that has some gray or blue in it, and was able to work it into the flowers made with Spellbinders™ Bitty Blossoms.
I loved the contrast of the white so I also used some embellishing curls from Spellbinders™ Floral Flourishes. For my sentiment I simply cut a banner and snipped the ends, then stamped and curled up the edges. Compact Sayings is one of those stash must haves – the sayings will take you through quite a few occasions!
Here are the design team members who have creations to share today. I hope you can pop in and have a peek at what they have been working on!!
Thanks for stopping by, there are yet additional sets tomorrow!! Hope you can stop by again!!

Hi there blog friends! Wasn’t yesterday just dreamy with the French Country, Mark Your Word and Chicken Wire? If I didn’t mention it, there are nine new sets and today we are previewing Florentine Frippery and Nordic Spring. It’s so hard to pick a favorite, but I love trying, so here goes :-)
This card is made using Florentine Frippery. Of course there are stamps in this set that match Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Four so I jumped to use them together. I created a layered flower and alternated the layers with Spellbinders™ Persian Motifs and Spellbinders™ Persian Accents and filled in the center with Spellbinders™ Spiral Blossom Three. The sentiment – which is so cleverly archaic is hung on Spellbinders™ Office Supplies.
The border is created by lining up the filigree element from Spellbinders™ Damask Accents then layering a strip of paper over top. The Frippery pattern that is stamped on the border strip is simply exquisite!
For this card I used elements from Nordic Spring and Florentine Frippery. The heart is cut using Spellbinders™ Classic Hearts which I mounted over two cuts using Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Five. I love, love, love the matching stamps!!
Using the Nordic Spring I stamped the border and folded it to make an elevated banner.
I love the sentiment. It really pokes fun at archaic sayings and this is definitely not a stamp or sentiment you already have in your stash, lol!!

Hi there blog friends! I know, right? You’ve been waiting with baited breath for a new release – (whispers) it’s here!! Oh my word, you have no idea what you’ve in for over the next couple of days. Okay then sit down and hold on tight – little surprises! I get just as excited about a Waltzingmouse Stamps new release as you do. There are lots of fabulous new sets on the way (nine of them) and today the first set by Waltzingmouse Stamps that we’re previewing is called French Country. I layered up a couple of Spellbinders looking for curvy embellishment and filigree ornateness to go with the french provencial flavor of this set. I built my medallion by starting with Spellbinders™ Grand Labels Twenty Three then adding Spellbinders™ Floral Ovals followed by Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Five and Spellbinders™ Twisted Metal Accents and Tags. Lastly I created a side flap using Spellbinders™ Classic Edges Two and Spellbinders™ Classic Decorative Inserts Four.
For the Bon Appetit sentiment I cut a fishtail into a strip then stamped and curved the paper.
Next I used the Make Your Mark set. I thought it would make a wonderful gift to give a friend by giving them premade enclosure cards. So I created a box 4″ x 1″ and put a divider inside so that I could organize the contents.
The lid is made using Spellbinders Classic Edges One and Spellbinders™ Classic Decorative Inserts Five.
Inside there are a variety of enclosure tags with holes (for easy attachment) and tags made using Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Five and an accent piece from Spellbinders™ Home Sweet Home. In the last compartment I enclosed some linen thread for attaching the tags – sweet and simple!
