Waltzingmouse Stamps September Release - Frosty In The Pines

Thanks for stopping by!  It's the second day of new release projects at Waltzingmouse Stamps and today we're showing you the new set called "Frosty in the Pines".  The stamps are officially available in the store on Sunday September 28 when we'll be celebrating with a blog hop with some prizes.   Frosty is super cute with his little bird friend.  T
The set also comes with everything you need to stamp a snowy little scene.... pine trees and even log cabins.   Digital cut files made this really easy to cut, color, and create.
 
 You'll have to help me settle this debate.  I wasn't sure which card to post here.  I like the one with the blue background because it clearly defines the sky and the ground.   My husband liked this one layer version better with the blue paint splatter background.
 
The little cabins are so cute I couldn't resist making a little tag too.

Fusion - Sunflowers

Happy Thursday!  Lots going on here today!  A new challenge at Fusion and CASE Study, and a new Waltzingmouse release!  I hope you'll take some time and look around!    This post is for the new Fusion Challenge called "Sunflowers".  Seriously... isn't this the perfect time of year for this?  Sunflowers just seem perfect for fall.  I even have a few sunflowers in my yard!   I usually cut the heads off when they start drooping and hand them in the garage to dry.  Some of the seeds will get planted next year, and the rest will keep the birds happy and fed over the winter. 

Remember that when you play at Fusion you can use the photo inspiration or the sketch.  If you are feeling clever you can put them together like I did here. 

I love this sunflower die from Poppystamps - it's so detailed.  I cut it out in three different colors of card stock.  The October Afternoon paper adds a country feel to the image and the blue and yellow go together so well!  Want to see what the rest of the ladies made for today?  Just click on their names here to jump to their blogs.  I know you'll be glad you did.


Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Waltzingmouse Stamps - September Release - Little Deer

What a great day for a visit- I've got lots of posts today - a new challenge at CASE Study and Fusion, and SWOON.. .a new Waltzingmouse release preview! For the next three days we'll be showing you three new stamp sets, and some beautiful intricate snowflake dies. The stamps are officially available in the store on September 28 when we will be celbrating with a blgo hop and some prizes. Claire is planning on smaller more frequent releases so we can keep products fresh and give them the full attention they deserve! Today we're showing the new set called Little Deer.
Little Deer features everything you need to make a beautiful snowy scene.  There are three different tree trunks, little deer, a cardinal, a bundle of presents and some snowflakes.   Oh Yes!!!  There are lots of great sentiments too!! 
I stamped the tree trunks with pigment ink on aqua card stock.  Next I added some stamped snowflakes, and some watercolor paint splatter.  Silhouette files made the deer and bird easy to stamp, color, and attach with adhesive foam tape.
 The stamp set also features this sentiment "A Winter Birthday".  Check out these gorgeous intricate cut snowflakes.  They are the latest die addition to the Waltzingmouse collection. 

I bet you want to see more don't you?  Here's a list of the design team with projects for you today!
