Waltzingmouse Stamps Preview Day Three...

Welcome to day three of the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sneak Previews! 

I'm so excited for you to see the stamp sets that we are previewing today - Dainty Doilies Small, and Dainty Doilies Large! 

For my card, I used four different images and one sentiment from the Dainty Doilies Large set.  I layered three of the doilies on top of each other (popping each layer up a bit).  The fourth image is stamped on the background layer using Versamark ink.  Finally, I embossed the sentiment three times across the bottom and then added lots and lots and lots of rhinestones!  :-)

Only one more day to wait!  All FIVE new Waltzingmouse sets will be available tomorrow!

Waltzingmouse Previews Day 2...

A great big happy Friday to you!  :-)

I'm back today with another Waltzingmouse Preview for you!  Today, we are sharing projects made with the soon to be released Join Us set!

The first thing that caught my eye when I saw this set was the insanely GORGEOUS decorative elements!  I used two of my favorite ones on my card today...both on the background and under the sentiment!  I also love how versatile this set is!  There are several main sentiments that are larger and many smaller ones that when paired together will give you THE perfect sentiment!  I can't wait for you to see this must have set!!

Well, there is still a lot of Join Us inspiration to be had!  Check out what the DT has created:

Waltzingmouse Previews Day 1...

Welcome to Day 1 of the Waltzingmouse new set previews!  You are in for such a treat the next few days, as the DT will be sharing projects made with the upcoming sets, you know...to whet your appetite a bit!  :-) 

The set being previewed today is called Gingham & Co. and let me tell you, this is a must have set!  Not only are there several different sized gingham patterns to choose from, but there is also a polka dot background included!  I do love me some gingham and polka dots!  Mmmm,mmm!

Speaking of gingham and polka dots...

 

I thought my card should have both of them!  Teehehee!  I used one of the gingham backgrounds (from the Gingham & Co. set) to create my yellow gingham strips.  The rose and sentiment are from the Roses in Bloom set.  On the top layer of the rose, I added a bit of aqua and lavender on the back side of the vellum (to soften the color).

There is SO much more inspiration awaiting you!  Check out what the other DT ladies have created:

A Better Place...

Good morning!  Today, the sun is shining in our windows with such a welcome intensity that my mood couldn't help but be lightened!  It is by no means Spring is here yet (sigh), but this glorious sunshine is bringing with it hope for a season change soon!  :-) 

I thought this bright and beautiful day deserved an equally happy card!  :-) 

I'm not sure what it is with pink...but lately, I've been so drawn to it!  It's such a happy kind of color, don't you think?  :-)  For my card, I used some Stampin' Up! chipboard with the Verve set All About You.

Well, that's all from me today.  Stay tuned though, because I have LOTS of new posts planned this week!  :-)

I hope your day is the happy, sunshine filled kind!  Hugs, Laurie
