Waltzingmouse October Release - DT Blog Waltz

Welcome to the Waltzingmouse October Release day!!   To celebrate this great occasion, the Design Team is having a Blog Waltz - and you can win a WMS stamp set just by leaving a comment on each DT's blog today!

You should start the Waltz at Belinda's blog,   if you came here from Sandie's blog you're in the right place!

If you lose your way -  you will find the complete Waltz list on Claire's Blog.

Today we are using the two last sets of the release -  Candy Jar Christmas and Candy Jar Christmas Fillers - two wonderful sets for packaging those cookies and sweets we love to give during the holidays!

I always bake cookies and other goodies to give friends and coworkers when just a thoughtful little gift is needed.  So first up is a clear box of Gingerbread Men!

 I made the front strip 2 x 6 1/2" and stamped my gingerbread men from Candy Jar Christmas in a row.  Then I stamped the slim red border from Nordic Winter along the bottom.  The circle sentiment is from Candy Jar Christmas Fillers. 

I adhered a piece of patterned paper on the outside of the back of the box with the pattern facing in so it showed behind my cookies.  I used small glue dots on the corners and sides to adhere it so it didn't show too much.

Before I adhered the patterned paper -  I stamped all these sentiments on the white side, they are all from Candy Jar Christmas accept for "to help you make  merry" which is from Seasonal Remedies!  The frame is a Spellbinders Classic Frames.

Then I decorated this wonderful jar (again from the Christmas Tree Shop for just $2.99!) with images from Candy Jar Christmas Fillers.  I love having holiday traditions -  and I think getting this jar of sweets out each year would be a lovely one don't you?   I didn't have enough peppermints to fill the jar so I just laid a few outside so you'd get the idea!!

 Here's a close up of the pretty peppermint jar -  I layered the label over the jar and added some clear tiny twinkles.  This pretty pleated ribbon strip is from Pink Paisleee.

Now don't forget to leave comments all along the waltz for your chance to win a WMS stamp set!   And don't forget to go shopping!   Commenters have until October 17th 11:59 PM, 5:5 9AM Central, 3:59 AM Pacific and 6:59 AM Eastern. The winner will be announced on Claire’s blog October 18th.
