Waltzingmouse Stamps Release Blog Hop

I’m thrilled and honored to start off today’s Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Hop using the newest stamp sets that will be available for purchase tonight at Waltzingmouse Stamps.  The Blog Hop begins here and I’ll be linking to another Waltzingmouse Stamps designer and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Claire is giving away Spring Basket and Lil Buddies stamp sets to two lucky winners who will be drawn from comments left on one of the DT's blogs and the other one will be selected from a commenter from her blog. You do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify, but the more locations you leave a comment along the blog hop path, the better your odds of being one of the lucky winners. As a bonus, you will see some wonderful projects using stamps that will be available for sale tonight from Waltzingmouse Stamps.

I used images from one of the four new sets, Faux Fun Vintage Circles.  Claire has done her brilliant work again by creating sets that work with Nestabilities.  How very versatile they are!  I created a background on the light brown card base by stamping small flowers that match those in the image and then added Dimensional Pearls to the center of each of them.

I stamped the circle image onto ivory cardstock and added liquid pearls to each flower center there as well. I added a scallop mat to the back of the stamped image which I paper pierced for added interest.

The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps’ Blessed by You set. I wanted to use this sentiment because I plan to send this card to my daughter who is in the process of losing weight, something she has struggled with since college.  I know how hard it can be to lose weight, and I want her to know that I appreciate and understand the hard work she has done to achieve this goal.  Of course I’m always proud of my daughter, but it’s nice to have special accomplishments acknowledged.

The blog hop ends at 11:59 pm on Sunday, February 7th, and the winners will be announced Monday on Claire’s blog so you have plenty of time to do your hopping.  Just don’t miss out on ordering your stamps tonight! =) 

The next stop on the Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Hop is Lisa Hjulberg’s blog where she will have an undoubtedly fantastic project.  She will direct you to the next person on the list.  Thanks for stopping by – have fun on the hop and good luck!
