Hugs & Kisses Silhouette

Jovial Judi was the Featured Stamper on Split Coast last week whoo hoo Judi! Big congratulations!

I chose her Allergo sketch card to CASE because I was drawn to the silhouette stamp and the layout of the card. You have to change things when you CASE a card - so I used different colors and stamps, added a sentiment and butterfly.

My stamps are all from Rubbernecker Stamps - a lovely set called Floral Silhouette #467 and a background stamp called Bed of Roses

I added sticky pearls to the flowers, butterfly and sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

A Colorful Spring

I seem to be chronically late for the teaparty's lately! But here I am none-the-less and the parties are that kind that just go on and on! LOL!! This week we had to bring some color to Abner the Abdominable Snowman because he is sick to death of WHITE!

So I'm bringing along some green grass and blue sky - as well as this little penquin guy with his gravity defying Easter Basket. I figured Abner would feel at home with this ice loving creature and wouldn't feel so nervous about all the new colors he was seeing!


My card is also for Fran's Doubledog Dare Challenge to us this week - to make a 1-2-3 card - I used one ribbon, two little gems, and three designer papers!

And finally - it's for the TCP Tuesday challenge to use The Cat's Pajama's springtime stamps on your card -

An Unofficial Peek at the WMS New Eggs!

I've got an unofficial WMS sneak peek for you! Bonnie and Laurie are the official sneak peekers today so be sure to check out their wonderful creations!

I made this card for the Ways to Use it Challenge over on Split Coast which was to use lace on your card. And I used this weeks OCC sketch

My beautiful egg stamps and sentiment are a sneak peek of a Waltzingmouse Egg Set that will be available on Monday March 1.

Don't they have a wonderful design on them? Claire creates such beautiful patterns on her stamps! The set includes several sizes of eggs and several designs - AND they fit the brand new Spellbinders nested egg die set! Whoo Hoo!! I don't have these dies yet - so I cut out my eggs the old fashioned way with scissors (!)

And another fun surprise!! The designer paper is a brand new digital DP that Claire will have available on March 1 also. Notice how the design matches the stamps in Faux Fun Circles and Vintage Circles Small??? One of the little eggs in the new Egg set has this pattern on it also - Whoo Hoo - how matchey matchey!?!?!

To finish off my card - I used a micron pen to draw an outline, added sticky pearls to the corners and gold stickles to the eggs.

Now go check out Bonnie, Laurie and our Claire!

Yippee! it's almost the weekend!

WMS March 1 Sneak Peek!

Can you believe it's already time for more Sneak Peeks from Waltzingmouse?!? Claire has 3 delicious sets coming out on March 1 - Labels Three that I'm previewing here today - and Roses that Lisa is previewing over on her blog. The 3rd set is a cute Easter Egg set. Claire will also be previewing the sets so be sure to check it all out!

The Labels Three set comes with 7 different labels that fit the Labels Three Nestabilities - how great is that! They, of course, can also be cut out by hand very easily too!!

I used this particular label on my card because of the circles in the corners that went perfectly with the Cosmo Cricket DP. I colored in the circles as well as the edges of the label with my gold Spica pen. I stamped and cut out the shamrock from Celtic Heritage and colored the stem and edges of that with the Spica too. It adds some pretty shimmer IRL. The sketch is Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch. Click on my card to see better detail on the label.

I stamped the twill tape with a small shamrock from Irish Blessings. On the inside of my card I stamped the large shamrock again and over stamped the sentiment in eggplant ink.

The WMS design team will be previewing the new stamp sets everyday until the release on Monday - so be sure to check Claire's blog to see who's sneak peeking each day!

Now you should go check out Lisa's sneak peek of the Roses set!

A Clean and Simple Spring!

Yes- I think we are ALL ready for warm weather right about now... and the Clean and Simple challenge on Split Coast last week was Wishing for Spring!

I used several colors of Memento Tear Drop ink pads to ink up my flower stamp (all four potted flowers are on one stamp!). Then I used a brown copic to make little lines on the pots to give a little depth and a yellow and pink copic to darken the center on two of the flowers. I also used the circle from a punch for their centers.

I drew a line around the edge of my card with a Micron pen just to define the space. It's amazing how that little line adds so much don't you think?

My stamps are from the Floral Silhouette set #467 by Rubbernecker Stamps

Although my card says 'Spring'! outside my house still says "WINTER" but the snow is melting a little bit each day!

I'm so happy to see you here today!

Tomorrow I'll be having a sneak peek of a new Waltzingmouse stamp set coming out on March 1st so be sure to come by to check it out!!

"So Grateful for Your Help" said Cinderella!

Here's my card for Mo's Digital Pencil challenge # 19 - 'Clean and Simple' - to use white or cream cardstock - one of Mo's images and one ribbon - that's it! No layers. Some of the samples had sentiments so I assume it was ok to use one.

I colored the 'Cinderella' digital image with copics, stamped the sentiment and then just stapled on the ribbon! My card is 4 1/4 x 4 1/4. It started out a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 but I punched some holes on the top to loop a ribbon through and it looked 'yucky'! so I cut off the top of the card! You don't want to cross me - I tell ya!!! LOL!!!

These fun challenges get posted every Thursday and you can win a free digi image! I love working with Mo's images - they are just SO sweet!

Stamps: Mo' Digital Pencil Cinderella, sentiment - Blessed by You/Waltzingmouse Stamps

Accessories: ribbon - Michaels, stapler, copics: E51E00, E04, E13, G82, YR61, YR02, R20, RV11, R29, 0

WMS Customer Blog Hop - The Theme is Spring!

Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Customer Spring themed Blog Hop! If you want to start with the first person on the hop - check out Angela here. If you get lost - you'll find links to all 52 participants on Claire's blog here.

Today I used Claire's wonderful Spring Baskets Template for my project - isn't it just divine?!?!! I stamped the zig zag from Off Beat Backgrounds around the top piece of the basket. Then I added this pretty narrow lace around all the joinings.

I white embossed one of the lacey stamps from Vintage Circles on a scalloped circle that I attached to the bottom of the basket. Finally I tied this soft as butter silk ribbon around the column and added the basket shred and yummy Lindt gold wrapped chocolate bunny to top it off! Miss Bunny came with a bright red ribbon around her neck - so I swapped it out for this soft pink chennile one!

We hope you'll leave some love along the way as you hop to let everyone know you've enjoyed this glimpse into spring time!

Next stop on the hop is Jennifer!
