WMS July Release Day 1

Hello, hello!

It is time for another Waltzingmouse Stamps release - so exciting! This month, four new stamp sets are being released. They will be available for purchase in the WMS Store on July 1.

Today, the set we are previewing is called Fairy Princess. It is an addition set to last release's Half Pint Heroines in a fabulous new 3x4 stamp set size!

One great thing about this set is you don't need the HPH sets to use it - it is a complete set (a little morsel of WMS as Claire calls it!) all on its own. If you've never tried WMS before, this might be a great place to start!  I just know you will fall in love.

Let's get crackin', shall we?


Fit for a princess! I love how this image is perfect for a little girl, but could also be equally fitting for a teen or even an adult (so easy to transform this beautiful princess into a bride!).

I thought the 'Once upon a time' sentiment from Half Pint Heroines was a great compliment to this image, and especially fitting for a situation where your 'little princess' is all grown up... prom, bride-to-be, even graduation!

I colored the image with Copic markers and added some glittered highlights with Spica pens. The purple layer was embossed with a harlequin background and my card base was stamped with the gothic text from Text It.

This next card is about as simple as it gets, but I couldn't resist using this adorable frog!


I started by stamping the frog and then I scored a line under him to give him some place to sit. I colored him with Copic markers and added the accompanying sentiment. I rummaged through some other sets to find the perfect sized heart to add to the design. A simple, no-fuss design perfect for your guy on Valentine's Day (or any other time kisses are in order - that is any day in my house!).

The last project I want to share today uses the fairy from the set. I started with a cheapo paper mache box from Michaels and turned it into a special place for the tooth fairy to come looking for a lost tooth.


I started by painting the box with Gesso, and then with Claudine Hellmuth's Studio paints. Then I added some patterned paper to the sides and top.


The fairy image was stamped onto plain cream cardstock and paper pieced with coordinating patterned papers. She is appropriately sparkly, with a glittered crown and wand as well as pearlized wings.


I used the Victorian Alphabet set and a portion of a sentiment from Join Us to put the words together. You could also use a computer-generated sentiment to get similar results. Cute, no? I've got lots of nieces that could use this, I bet.

So that's what I have for you today! Here is the list of the rest of the Design Team members sharing previews today:


Did you happen to see that Bonnie has rejoined us on the team?  Big welcome back hugs to Bonnie!

I can't wait to hear what you think so far! I just love hearing all your feedback on the new sets. I'll see you back here tomorrow, ok?
