Waltzingmouse Feb Release Day - Design Team Blog Waltz!

WELCOME to the Waltzingmouse February Release Day! When we also have our Design Team Blog Waltz!

We are showing sneak peeks of the final two sets in the release - Paris Nouveau and Labels 25 (yes - the stamps fit the new Labels 25 Nestabilities!).

You should start the Blog Waltz at Claire's (she has the complete list in case you get lost along the way!)

If you came here from Sandie's blog you are in the right place!

For my first card I used the wonderful Eiffel Tower from Paris Nouveau. I can just imagine living near the tower and having this beautiful view from my window!   It certainly would be 'ohh-la-la'!!  - this sentiment is from the Compact Sentiments set.

I love to read ( REAL paper books although I do have a Kindle Fire!) so I was happy to see this "from the library of'' stamp in the Paris Nouveau set!   A reader can never have enough book marks! 

I paired it with the journaling stamp from last years set - Victorian Frippery stamping them both on a shipping tag and sponging the edges with 3 shades of purple Distress Inks. I could write my name on one of the lines, write notes about a particular book, include it in a book I lend to someone so they remember who to return it to!  I layered it to a black panel and looped two colors of wrinkled seam tape through the hole at the top.  I kept it CAS to fit neatly between the book pages.

 I silver embossed this fun stamp from the Make Your Mark set on the back!

And here's my final card for the new release - using  the larger bold herringbone stamp from Heirloom Patterns, one of the label stamps from Vintage Labels 25 and a sentiment from Compact Sentiments!

I love how the orange and blue make this look so bold and sassy!

Ok - that's it from me - Phew - what a lot of stamping I've been doing the past 4 days!

Next on the Blog Waltz is  Laurie who I'm sure has a wonderful creation to inspire you!
