Some of these sets are shipping from the USA (once CHA is over :)). You can read about all of the sets that Claire is currently able to ship from the USA HERE! It just so happens that these are some of my faves! I know, I know, I say that quite a bit, but can't help it if it's true! I used some of them on my blog party cards today.
This month's theme is "Love." Don't worry if you haven't made your card yet. You have until tomorrow (Friday, January 18th at 1:30 PM EST) to upload your creation with the theme to Claire's Mr. Linky set on her blog HERE!
Up first was a card I made after a little Pinterest browsing. I saw this sweater and was inspired to make a Valentine card using the unique textures and color scheme.
Here is my card...
I used the heart from My Heart and the sweater background from Faux Fun. The lacy detail is the Vintage Christmas Backgrounder stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed with white powder on vellum paper. The sentiment is from Sweethearts.
I used a recent crafty purchase that is so much fun...Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in "Guilded Gold"! I misted the kraft paper with it before stamping and embossing the heart. The little leaves that show through are shimmery delicious! I added some gold Liquid Pearls to match. The embossed vellum looks so much like lace to me!
Oh you KNOW I couldn't let this party pass without using Earth Angel!
I made a little garden scene using a picket fence die cut and the vine from My Heart. Added some sweet flowers and leafy stems from Pic-Nic Patterns, and hearts and a sentiment from Earth Angel.
Kept out that Glimmer Mist! I sprayed another kraft piece for her dress (and wings) and then stamped it with a stripe (in kraft ink) from Nordic Winter. Added some white stripes with a colored pencil. She's like a little angelic golden bumblebee fluttering about!
I'll leave you with a sweet picture that my daughter Claire (age 7) made after seeing me make my angel card, a girl after her mother's heart...
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to stop over to Claire's blog to read about blog party prizes and some other special announcements! I am looking forward to so many fun things this year at Waltzingmouse Stamps!

Your daughters card is precious! You know I love your Earth Angel card .
Love the colors on your first care and the embossing is stunning, so glad you added a close up of the pretty details.
Well, I love your cards and thank you for the close ups but as the mother of her own seven year old girl, Claire's has my heart.
Kelly your cards are fantastic and your daughter's picture is perfect--what a treasure that is. Your embossing is amazing!
OMG, Kelly the first card's embossing is stunning. And the earth angel card is super sweet. Please tell Claire that I love her picture. Her angel has such a sweet face and I love the idea of an angel in a meadow.
Wow...these are amazing. Love, love, love the your gold card. It's amazing rich and elegant. And naturally, I just adore your earth angel card. The way you gave her a belt with the twine is brilliant. Lovely cards!
OMG, Kelly--I LOVE all the amazing textures on your first card! The embossing on the vellum is just gorgeous and I adore the soft, cozy colors. Your Earth Angel cards are always so sweet. I love the pretty fence and shiny hearts in her garden.
Tell Claire her card is just as lovely as her mom's. Her angel is so sweet and I love that she added a rainbow.
Lovely cards, Kelly. I have always loved Earth Angel. Your first card is so elegant. Your inspiration from the picture really made for a gorgeous card. Still waiting for my Christmas card. I will let you know as soon as it arrives. The recipient of my card is still waiting too.
Your cards are both absolutely WONDERFUL! I LOVE how you got your inspiration! I should try that more often - not only when someone else has chose the pic for a challenge! TFS!
Hugs!
