WMS March Release Day Two

Hello my dears! Did you enjoy yesterday's previews? The fun continues! Today we are previewing Very Vintage Labels No. 18, which of course coordinates with the Spellbinders Labels Eighteen, just released at CHA! This is one of five new stamp sets being released by Waltzingmouse Stamps and will be available March 1.

Let's start with elegant..

Such a romantically styled label! I created a bold (and stunning, if I may say!) focal point by embossing this label in black. This is one of the largest labels in the set and is just yummy. Opting for a black and cream color scheme with just a pop of yellow, I think this would be a lovely wedding or anniversary card.

The resin cameo is actually a pendant, which I purchased from my local Michaels (found in the bead section). Some thick buttery silk ribbon finishes it off.

Now onto something a little more modern?

One thing I really enjoyed about our trip to Indonesia was the elaborate and ornate decorative motifs incorporated into just about everywhere. The jewelry in particular was amazing, and I invested in a few pieces I just couldn't leave without. I've been thinking a great deal about our trip, and this card just sort of came out. While it doesn't necessarily scream traditional Balinese art, it reminds me of Bali.

Both the small label and the decorative floral motif are included in Very Vintage Labels No. 18. I accented my repeated pattern with some small silver pearls and opted to forego a sentiment.

Another of my favorite sentiments from Back in the Saddle.

I used my pinking shears to trim this label, and I love the look. I combined it with an embossed and inked star background and the star background stamp from Way Out West.

To finish it off, I added a big button and flirty bow for a decidedily feminine look. Wouldn't this be a great way to say 'Happy Birthday'?

And now for something completely different...

(I can't say that without thinking of Monty Python)

How about some custom jewelry? This stamp is one of the medium labels from the set, and with some shrink plastic and pigment ink, it became one of the building blocks for a trendy bracelet!

Each label 'bead' was stamped onto shrink plastic and allowed to dry. I cut each of them out and then punched the holes (very important to do this before you shrink!). Finally, I dabbed each with Cosmic Copper Brilliance Ink, which is a pigment ink that sets when heated (and intensifies when shrunk). I strung the labels together with chain and then combined this with a plain copper chain and strand of faceted glass beads. I am working on a little tutorial for you that I will share after the release is over.

The final result! This would make a really stunning (and easy, I mean it!) gift.
