Usually it is not until I actually start stamping with Claire's stamps that I truly appreciate all of the thought and design that goes into these stamps. Take this scroll work from Little Lantern for example. I stamped it along the top and bottom of my sentiment to create a frame, then stamped the hanger along the side to add the lantern. Just that one scroll work stamp alone on the top and bottom had me mesmerized! In my head I have a whole card already planned for just that one little stamp! Funny, I know, but it's true! Here's a close up of the lantern in the set. I added a candle and flame for the inside, to coordinate with the sentiment from Light of the World Sentiments. The scroll work and candle were embossed with white embossing powder so they could really stand out on the Kraft cardstock:
Although it's called Little Lantern and it's one of the smaller Waltzingmouse Stamps sets, there are four different lanterns included in the set! Up next is a very different card, using Bright Season:
Those light rings were calling my name. I loved the graphic punch they provided, so I based an entire card around them! The sentiment is also from Light of the World Sentiments and I just adore it. What a great thing to add to a card for someone who needs this bit of encouragement. This sent includes some terrific, unique sentiments that I'm sure you'll find quite inspirational.

Such wonderful CAS cards - just shows how great these images are (and your talent of course). FAB!
Absolutely FANTASTIC!! These are superb ;)
Love them both. I'm always in awe of your eye for colours and how you can create such amazing background designs. Beautiful work as always :)
I absolutely love the second card here - simply gorgeous and very inspirational! Love the sweet lantern too!
SUCH lovely designs (as always), Jennifer! Somehow I knew you were going to rock that glow image, hee! LOVE the multicolored stamping. You are so right about Claire's images...I always think they are wonderful when we see them...but then stamping with them? A dream! You showcased her scroll work perfectly on your first card!
So fun! I absolutely love how you can always see something different in these stamps - a true professional!
Nice cards. I love the way you used the different colors on the glow on the second card.
Love these Jennifer. I have to say that when I first saw the "shine" images in these sets, the first thing I though of was creating a background, just like you have created in your second card. FANTASTIC look!
Your first card is very creative too, the way you framed your sentiment within a sign you created. Well both.
Incredible cards! And the designs are superb! So excited for this release!
Great cards, love the first one.
Love your cards, especially how you just used the rays of light for the second card: great inspiration!!
Fabulous!!
Love that embossing...
but your tip about making that frame for the sentiment...
priceless!!

The light ring card - that's stunning. Love the way you played with the colours - fantastic!
