Waltzingmouse February Release Day!

Woot Woot!  The day is finally here - today you will be able to purchase the Waltzingmouse February Release stamps and dies!  Gift Card It, Gift Card It Dies and Gift Card It Envelope Die!

Today the Design Team is doing a blog hop -  sharing projects using any combination of the new release sets.  The hop starts at Claire's blog - where you will find the complete list of the Design Team in case you lose your way.
If you arrived here from Lynn's blog you're in the right place!

So now let's see what I've created to show you!

If you came by for my first sneak peek on Tuesday - then you know I have 3 adorable little munchkins in my life (my sister's grandchildren/my grand nephews and niece!)

I babysat for Landon and Mila last week - and I brought along a craft for them to do - decorating little chipboard mailboxes that I picked up on sale at Michaels after Valentine's Day.

 3 1/2 year old Landon, especially,  loves to get mail and is interested in his mailbox out

front of their house where the mailman puts their mail.  So he was excited to have one of his own!  Mila liked mostly the stickers I had for them to put on their boxes!

So I thought it would be fun to make some little cards and envelopes to send to them and they could put them in their mail boxes!  I also made one for their cousin, James - couldn't leave my other grandnephew out!

Here are the envelope fronts - I used the Gift Card It Envelope Die for these.  I stamped their names using the Victorian Alphabet stamp set.  The With Love, flowers and leaf stem are from Gift Card It.

On the backs of the envelopes I faux stitched around all the edges using a white opaque pen.  Sentiment from Gift Card It.  I used round metal clips (that I've had FOREVER!) to hold the envelopes closed.

And I tucked these little cards inside, made with one of the Gift Card It Dies.  All the stamps are from Gift Card It.  I just love the little star burst stamp and the 3 dots stamp!  They add a little whimsy to the stampings!  These cards are the size of a gift/credit card.

I thought the kids would like to color on these little cards themselves - so I stamped images from Half Pint Heroines and Half Pint Heroes on the backs of the cards.  (the florals on the front side of Mila's card bled through a little bit in the corners because I used Copics  -  but she won't notice!)

The elephant is on the back of the card I will send to James - as he recently had a ride on a real live elephant with his dad.  I think he'll be excited when he sees this card!

I'm linking this project to the Split Coast Stampers - Love Fest Challenge sponsored by Sweet and Sassy - this is the inspiration photo for the challenge.

Don't forget to comment at each stop along the blog hop route -  the more places you leave a comment the better your chances of winning!  The prize this release is the amount of a large stamp set which you could use on anything in the WMS store (stamps, dies, templates)  One random winner will be chosen from comments left on one of the DT's blogs!  The winner will be posted on Claire's WMS blog on March 4th.

Next on the hop is Laurie!
