Hello and welcome to the Waltzingmouse Stamps Release Day, and Design Team Blog Waltz. Waltzingmouse Stamps is releasing 9 new sets today: French Country, Chicken Wire, Make Your Mark, Nordic Spring, Florentine Frippery, Company Sentiments, Heirloom Patterns, and two sets which I have used in my projects today; Paris Nouveau and Labels 25.
I am hoping that you will take some time to join us for a bit of fun and inspiration. The Blog Waltz begins on Claire’s blog. She will have the complete list of all blogs that are participating in case there is a glitch along the way. I am linking to one of the Waltzingmouse Stamps designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Be prepared to be inspired along the way.
We will randomly choose one commentor after the waltz is over to win a free WMS set of choice, so it's important to leave a comment on as many blogs as you can along the way. If you have arrived here from Kelly Schirmer's blog, then you are right on track.
The Blog Waltz starts now and runs through March 3rd, 5:59 AM Central time and the winner will be announced on Sunday, March 4th on Claire’s blog. You do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify, but the more times you leave a comment along the blog waltz path, the better your chances to be the lucky winner.
My first project is a "thank you" card made using Paris Nouveau. Using some great papers from the Uncommon collection from Authentique, I layered panels onto my card base. I used the border image from the set to create an embossed border on which I layered labels and the wonderful Eiffel Tower. I tied it all together with some ivory crinkle ribbon adorned with a Zva Creative flower. This is such a wonderful set - I almost feel like I'm there...now all I need is to ACTUALLY go there! *sigh...someday*
I stamped the Eiffel Tower image onto some more of the Authentique papers that had text as a pattern and then I trimmed it out and layered it onto a piece of pink cardstock which I layered onto the frame from the set.
The sentiment was stamped and I added a few teeny pearls for embellishment.
My second project features the Labels 25 set. Obviously, this set is made to coordinate with Spellbinders' Labels 25 Nestabilities dies. I don't have this set yet, but I'm loving the shape of it. Even if you don't have these new dies, the images are easy enough to trim out with a pair of sharp scissors, a pair of good eyes, and a steady hand. *giggle*...well one out of three ain't bad. (guess which one I have)
I created my banner layer using Heirloom Patterns (featured yesterday) on which I tucked some wonderful burgundy lace that was given to me by Nina Brackett when I met her at CHA a couple of years ago. I die cut an accent piece from the Fleur de lis Accents set and applied Studio Multi-Medium to it and sprinkled on some wonderful glitter.
I stamped my label onto the same cardstock used for the base, and embossed it with white embossing powder and then layered another label image from the set on top using foam dimensional dots. I accented the label with Zva Rhinestones, flowers, seam binding and a touch of pink tulle.
Next on your Waltz is the creative blog of Jennifer Holmes. Be sure to stop by and comment because it could earn you a free set from Waltzingmouse Stamps.
Remember, you have until March 3 to comment on as many of the Design Team blogs as possible because a winner will be selected at that time from one of the Design Team members’ blogs to win a Waltzingmouse Stamp set of choice.
Now, if you are ready, be sure to waltz on over to Jennifer Holmes' blog where the fun continues. Thanks for stopping by today and I invite you to enjoy the waltz!

I'm so excited to see projects featuring WMS's Vintage Labels 25 set (including yours), but your 1st card really makes me want the Paris Nouveau set too. Fabulous pink & black creation!
Love the colors and all the elements and texture
Wonderful cards! I love the color combinations you used for both cards and how each one has multiple layers that really emphasizes a three dimensional look which immediately draws our eyes into all the detail. Eye candy for sure! :)
