Day 1 - WMS Dec Sneak Peeks - Woodgrain

Welcome to the 1st day of Peeks at the December Waltzingmouse Release - all the new sets will be available on Dec 1st when we have our traditional DT Blog Waltz!  Claire has designed 4 creative sets for us to play with this month!  Today most of the Design Team are presenting - for your stamping pleasure - a wonderful set called Woodgrain Backgrounder - it includes one large woodgrain background and 5 other woodgrain shapes .

For my first card -  I used the large background stamp, the chevron design stamp and the hexagon shape (if you are keeping track - there are 3 more shapes in this set!)  I also used a sentiment from Back in the Saddle - I inked it in two parts and stamped them separately - first the top - Gee Thanks - and then the bottom You're a Real Wing Dinger.

I used this week's WMS Sketch for my card design.

For my second creation -  I used the same Teal Zeal Memento Ink as above (my fav at the moment - you'll be seeing more of it tomorrow!).  For this card -  I stamped the large woodgrain background on white card stock and die cut this cute tree.  I layered each piece of the tree with foam tape. I love how the woodgrain looks on this!

I stamped the panel with a stamp from Pic Nic Patterns - (another great background set!) The sentiment is from 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.

As I alluded to above - some of the Design Team (Belinda, Anya and Lynn) did not receive their new stamps in time to create for the sneaks :(   so they will be presenting after the release - on Dec 2nd, 3rd and 4th! A nice way to spread out the excitement don't you think?!

Here are links to the Design Team that are showing sneaks today:  Let's go see what they have to show us shall we??!!  Tomorrow we'll be sneaking 2 more new sets -  hope you can stop by!
