WMS November Release Day Two

Hi there!

Today is the second day of previews for the Waltzingmouse Stamps November release. Four new stamp sets are being released on November 7. Today, I am sharing my projects using the Vintage Ornament set.

As you may have seen, this set coordinates with Spellbinders' 2010 Heirloom Ornaments. Claire has done a fantastic job creating a beautiful and versatile set. No worries if you don't have the dies, these ornaments are very easy to trim!

This card uses the smallest ornament in the set. I stamped the ornaments once in the color I wanted to use and again in a second color, from which I trimmed the inside snowflake panel. These snowflakes coordinate with those in Compliments of the Season, too, which I used to stamp the card base. A big rhinestone flourish finishes it off.

Next, I created some Christmas decor. I apologize for these pictures, but there was just no good way to get a shot of this and all the metallics!

I started with a grapevine wreath that I spray-painted silver. The ornaments were stamped onto the Snow Day patterned paper and embossed in silver. A little silver elastic cord was used to attach the ornaments to the wreath.

The starburst is a separate stamp, so you have the option for how you want to fill in the center of your ornament. Fantastic!

Finally, I couldn't resist the opportunity to play along with the Tag - You're It Challenge! Have you entered your creation yet?

I started with a manila tag that was painted with Tattered Rose Distress Crackle Paint. I stamped and cut out some of the foliage images from the Festive Foliage set. I also stamped one of the medium ornaments from Vintage Ornaments, embossed it with Pastel embossing powder and die cut it. Everything got a healthy spritz of Perfect Pearls and then I arranged the elements on my tag. Lovely!

So that's Day 2! Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's previews:
