WMS May Release - Day 2


Hello, hello!

Here we are at day two of the Waltzingmouse Stamps May Release countdown. Three new sets will be available for sale on Tuesday, May 8th. We will be sharing previews until then! Today's set is another companion set, coordinating beautifully with Compact Sentiments. Called Compact Family, this set contains just about all the words you might need to address your sentiment to someone specific! I'm sure you'll quickly see how well this set goes with others, but my samples for today focus on the phrase building you can achieve just with Compact Family itself.


The set includes the ability to use either spelling of Mom/Mum, so you'll be covered regardless of which one you use!

For this card, I stamped my sentiment (all separate words) and then filled in around it with the mum images from Big Blooms Chrysanthemums. A post-it note mask was just the ticket here. Right in time for Mother's Day!

This next card is a little scrappy fun.


Again, my sentiment phrase was created using all separate words - see how wonderfully these will go with the simple phrases in Compact Sentiments?

Heirloom Patterns, Chicken Wire, and Vintage Banners make an appearance on this card as well, bringing some fun patterns to the mix.


I love the ability to create a custom sentiment! How fun for your recipient. Well, I won't keep you any longer - head over to see what the other ladies have created today!


Have a great day!

Anya
