Just Give Me Stamps...

Just Treats...

Good morning!  Today I have a fun little Halloween treat package to share with you!  Can you believe that it's only a month until Halloween?  I'm not even going to think about how soon Thanksgiving and Christmas are...

 

I think my favorite thing about the new Treat Tote from Reverse Confetti is the included "Treats" word die!  I just love it!  I die cut the word die 6 different times using different colored cardstock each time.  I cut apart the letters and then mounted them a little offset looking onto the black treats word.  I also added a die cut star border (using the Oh My Stars Confetti Cuts die).

The paper I used is from Bella Blvd, and I thought it matched the fun, whimsical style of treat tote perfectly!

 

Well, that's all from me today!  I hope you have a wonderful Monday! 
Hugs,
Laurie

 

 

 

 

 

Waltzingmouse September Release Hop...

Welcome!  It's here!  All of the new Waltzingmouse stamps and dies that we have been previewing the last few days are now available over at the Waltzingmouse Stamps Store!  We're celebrating with a blog hop featuring more projects made with the new goodies!  If you are following along, you should have arrived here from Sandie's blog.  If you are just joining us, make sure to head on over to Claire's blog...she will get you started!

 

My first card features the super cute new Warm Fuzzies stamp set!  Claire's vintage images are like no other, but her whimsical ones are off the hook as well!!  I can't even tell you which set is my favorite this time!  :-)

My second card features three of the new Snowflake dies, as well as a sentiment from the Little Deer set!  The largest snowflake is called Folk Art Snowflake, the medium sized one that I used (in silver) is called Snowflake #3, and the smallest white snowflake was cut from the die called Snowflake #2.

There are some really fun changes this month, including a brand new Pin It To Win It competition!  You can read all about this over at the Waltzingmouse Blog!

Waltzingmouse September Previews Day 3...

 Good morning friends!  It's the third day of Previews for the Waltzingmouse September release!  Today, the design team is sharing projects made with the new Warm Fuzzies set!  Tomorrow is release day and all the new sets and dies that have been previewed will be available for purchase!

 

I created a collage style Christmas card.  I used four different images from this new set (tree top, trunk, sentiment, & snowflake.  I also used one of the new snowflakes dies being released (Snowflake #2).  I die cut it out of kraft and then added some clear glass glitter.  For embellishment, I added some ribbon and rhinestones.

Waltzingmouse September Previews Day 2...

Good morning friends!  It's the second day of Previews for the Waltzingmouse September release!  Today, the design team is sharing projects made with the new Frosty in the Pines set!  

For my first project, I created a festive tag using the large snowman image (Frosty himself), one of the snowburst images, and a sentiment.  I also tucked a snowflake die cut behind the circle.  That's something else that is new for this release!  There are some very lovely snowflake dies (this particular one is called Snowflake #1), which makes me very happy because I adore snowflake embellishments!

 

For my second project, I created a card with a chilly winter's night scene.  I started by embossing the largest of the pine trees and cutting it out, leaving a layer for the ground.  I created the second layer by embossing the two smaller pine trees and cutting them out much like I did on the first layer.  The third layer features two of the small cottages embossed and cut out.  I popped up each of the layers and layered them to look like the cottages are in the distance.  Finally, I embossed the sentiment and sponged on some silver ink around it.  You know how on really cold nights there seems to be a ring around the stars and moon?  Well, that is the look I was going for.  :-)  For some reason, it really stand out here in this photo...it is much more subtle in real life.  I am pleased, however, that you can see the subtle shimmer of the paper!

Waltzingmouse September Previews Day 1...

Welcome to the first day of the September Waltzingmouse Previews!  New stamps and dies will be released on September 28th!  Speaking of the release date, did you see Claire's announcement?  Their will be monthly new releases that will always be on the 28th of the month!  So exciting!!

Today, the design team is sharing projects created with the new Little Deer set!  And oh my word, is this set ever CUTE!!!

 

I can't even tell you how smitten I am with this sweet little deer!  I used 7 different stamps from this new set to create my card!  The trees are actually single stamp (there are three of them), which is great because you can stamp as many or as few as you choose!  Also, I added some glitter to the "snow", but it might be hard to see in the photo.
