February Waltzingmouse Stamps Sneak Peek - Day 3

Today’s the last day of Waltzingmouse Stamps sneak peeks, but the design team and I will be back tomorrow with the traditional release day blog waltz in which we showcase another two new sets!  Whew, there is so much eye candy!  I hope you have been enjoying it all…I know I have!  And today I’m sharing two special sets:  Compact Sentiments and Heirloom Patterns.  First, a little inspiration:

Today's sneak peeks are especially exciting because we are debuting the first set of a new designer for Waltzingmouse Stamps!  And that designer is none other than our very own Anya Schrier! I think she did an amazing job with Heirloom Patterns and I have absolutely loved working with it.  Way to go, Anya!

This first card is a little wacky.  I created an oversized egg using my oval Spellbinder dies and stamped it with violet chalk ink and the diamond border included in Heirloom Patterns. I created a frame with the egg using a smaller oval to cut out the center for the sentiment to pop through.  I absoultely love the fonts included in Compact Sentiments!  They may be compact, but they really pack a punch!

This next card isn't quite so wacky, but it is very bright and cheery.  It's been a lot of fun to change gears and great Spring themed cards:

This sentiment from Compact Sentiments was my inspiration for this card.  I wanted the flowers from Spring Baskets to look as if they were growing out of the sentiment.  I then colored them with Copics and added a pattern to the rest of the card using another great border in Heirloom Patterns.  This one reminds me of mattress ticking, which is a truly timeless pattern with a lot of possibilities! 

And, although not on one of my projects today, I am so thrilled that this set includes two houndstooth pattern stamps!  Love it!
