Hi there blog friends!!  I hope you had a glorious week!  As you know, I’ve spent a good deal of the week with my hands in ink – really, it’s been like a little vacation.  Today I’m back with a traditional Christmas card and some Sweet Treats!!  So, welcome to the November Blog Waltz for Waltzingmouse Stamps.  This week we’ve been previewing a slew of adorable new stamp sets.  (Hint: There are a lot of new – free- cut files to match stamps for this release.  Be sure you snag them while you are on Claire’s Blog).   Here are the sets you can now see in full – here.  If you jumped in the middle of our list, the best way to make your way through the hop is to start at Claire’s Blog (she has lots of news to share so you don’t want to miss beginning there) – she has the complete sequence if you get out of order or if one of the links don’t work. If you have just come here from Tosh’s blog then you are in the right place! In order complete the hop, leave a comment on as many of the Design Team Members Blogs as you can as a random name is selected from each blog and then a final winner picked from those names.  The  winner gets a free set of their choice of Waltzingmouse stamps. You have until November 4th at  5:59am CST to leave your comment and a winner will be selected and shown on Claire’s Blog on November 6th. Stay tuned, below I’ll tell you your next stop along the hop!!  Here are the new sets:

Yonder Star
Yonder Star Backgrounder
Vintage Christmas Backgrounder
Compliments of the Season 2
Cabin Plaid Backgrounder
Half Pint Heroes Additions
Sheriff 
Candy Wagon

For my Christmas card I’m using Compliments of the Season 2 and the Vintage Christmas Backgrounder.  I popped my sentiment up on Spellbinders™ Picot Edge Circles and Waltzingmouse Opera Tags Compatible Dies and trimmed the Picot Edge Circle to match the Opera Tag.

The other set I’m showing today is called Candy Wagon.  It’s as sweet as can be!!  I simply stamped the wagon, cut out (using Waltzingmouse free ‘cut files’) and mounted on a box and cut a matching hole.  After filling with treats and attaching a stamped tag – this is ready to go!

Lol, aren’t these the cutest?  Can’t you imagine dropping one of these off to a little buddy who is under the weather?  That would be an immediate ‘perk up’ if you ask me!

One of my boxes is filled with caramels and other with starlights – just those addictive kinds of candies that are bound to get eaten every time you happen to pass the box. . . (snicker)!   I just can’t tell you that these candies weren’t harmed in the making of this blog post because it just ain’t so – I put a hurtin’ on the caramels, lol!

Okay, one more picture – you can tell I had lots of fun with this one :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps – Candy Wagon, Compliments of the Season 2
Paper: My Minds Eye
Ink:  Impress – Garnet
Accessories: Waltzingmouse Opera Tags, Spellbinders Picot Edge Circles, Seam Binding, Want2Scrap Pearls, Spare Parts Buttons, Ribbon, Twine

Be prepared to be wowwed, your next stop is with Clare Buswell

Thanks so much for stopping by, I’ll see you soon!!!

Hello blog friends!  Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs Nov. Release Blog Hop!   If you got here from Angie’s blog, you are in the right place!  If not, you might want to start at the ODBD Blog so you don’t miss anything!

For my project I’m using one of the new sets called Cardinal Ornament.  It’s set up to be a clever ornament but can as easily be used as a tag.  I cut out a gable box using my digital cutter and colored the tag (with my Copic markers that I haven’t touched in forever), stamping a sentiment in the open space.  I cut it out using Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG and Standard Circles SM and sandwiched a tag from Spellbinders™ Back to Basics Tags in between the two circles.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Cardinal Ornament
Paper: Recollections
Ink: Memento – Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG, Standard Circles SM,  Spellbinders™ Back to Basics TagsRibbon, Twine, Burlap Ribbon, Velvet Trim

Hop Particulars:

The hop will run from 8am EDT Nov 1 until 8pm EDT Nov 2 and Winners will be announced on the ODBD Blog Nov 3rd.   Three hoppers will win their choice of one free set, and 1 blessed hopper will win the entire Nov. Bread Basket Bundle!!!  Simply hop to each stop, leave a comment and return to the ODBD Blog to tell us you completed the hop and let us know if you had any problems along the way!   That’s it!  Enjoy!!!

From here, you’ll hop to my sweet design team sister with some wonderful eye candy, Debi!!

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to leave a comment on all the designer blogs for a chance to win these awesome sets!

    Becca- this is just gorgeous! I am wondering- how did you color the tag? I see you used copics: but was the cardstock blue or did you spritz it or something. It is just gorgeous! I love that cardinal.ReplyCancel

I have more to show from the new releases for  Waltzingmouse Stamps.  This set is as cute as the dickens and so sweetly whimsical.    Although my son is a young man on his own, I’m saving it for him for just the right occasion.  He always makes me proud but I can just imagine his face when he gets this for something that deserves a little shout out.  The thing is, I don’t know who this would go over better for, the little boy or the young man?  I think I’d like to try it both ways to find out!  The set is Half Pint Heroes and it will be available on Friday, November 2nd.  I put it together using Spellbinders™ Ribbon Banners LG and stamped the little boy on a layer of Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG and  Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals SM.  The sentiments fit perfectly on Spellbinders™ Nested Lacey Pennants.

Frankly, some of you just won’t know what to think . . . no bow, no flower – just sayin’ . . . I did it!!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps – Half Pint Heroes Addition
Paper: Bazzill, Echo Park – Times & Seasons
Ink: Versafine – Onyx Black
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals SM, Spellbinders™ Nested Lacey Pennants, Spellbinders™ Ribbon Banners LG, button

Here are other design team members who have created items with the new set:

Bonnie Sharp • Lynn Mercurio  • Belinda Change Langner • Sarah Martina Parker • Tosha Leyendekker • Anya Schrier • Kelly Schirmer • Sandie Dunne • Clare Buswell • Julia Aston • Jennifer Holmes • Laurie Schmidlin • Claire Brennan

Hope you are enjoying the previews, I know I am!  See you soon!!
