Waltzingmouse Stamps Release Day Blog Waltz!

Release day is HERE!  You should be making your way here from Clare Buswell's blog, but you can always go back to Claire Brennan's blog if you lost your way.

You can find the four new stamp sets at the Waltzingmouse Stamps store.  They are Woodgrain Backgrounder, My Heart, Woodenheart Alphabet and Ornate Ornaments.

Today I chose to feature the Woodgrain Backgrounder paired with the previously-released Sewing Box-Christmas set.


I stamped the wooden hexagon from Woodgrain Backgrounder in Pistachio, Eucalyptus, and Wheat inks, cut them with my nesties, and arranged them in a quilt pattern.  The beautiful sentiment is from another new release, Ornate Ornaments!



I stamped the Sewing Box-Christmas snowflakes on some Creative Imaginations Real Wood paper and heat embossed them with white powder.  Added some buttons and twine to match the hexagon pattern in the background.  These sets together make for some rustic good fun :)!!

Claire is having a release contest!  One comment will be chosen randomly from one of the Design Team Members' blogs, and that person will receive a stamp set of choice...so the more comments you leave, the better your chances to WIN! You have until December 4th, 6:59 AM EST to leave your comments.  Winners will be announced on Claire's blog Wednesday, December 5th.

I was admiring your "wood-look" snowflakes and then I realized on reading that they are actually wood paper! How clever to use this with the wood backgrounder.

I honestly thought when I saw this card "who in the h**l is crazy enough to stitch together these snowflakes?!". I was sooooo relieved that these were stamped! I'm expanding my world of stamping awareness-I wonder if I can afford it? LOL!!!
