Good Morning!
Today I am happy to bring you Day 1 of the countdown for the February Release at Waltzingmouse Stamps.
For the next three days we will be sharing previews of a new stamp set and coordinating dies that will be available for purchase on February 28.
I think you will just love today's set. It is innovative and definitely fills a niche for gift giving! Let me introduce you to Gift Card It and the coordinating Gift Card It Dies.
The Gift Card It stamp set is jam-packed with sentiments for accompanying a gift card as well as for creating some of your own! The Gift Card It die set contains the tools to make fab little holders (like the tabs you can see on my card for keeping your gift in place), as well as die cutting your own gift card shape.
Gift cards tend to be my go-to gifts for the guys in my family, so I love how this set can help me to step up the presentation a bit. I made a more masculine card for today to show off how great these elements work together. I just happened to have a Lowe's gift card laying around (they are like gold in this house right now) so I designed my card scheme around that.
The background pattern was created by stamping some of those little bitty accent elements from the Gift Card It stamp set. I wanted something a little geometric and slightly hardware-ish (a bit of a stretch, huh? ;)
The Gift Card It die set was used to cut the two half-circle tabs that hold the gift card in place. Both tabs are on one die, so there is no worry about getting them lined up - the die places them perfectly! I also used the actual gift card die from the set (cut in half) to create the black mat the card is nestled on.
I will tell you - the teeny tiny stamps I showed today don't even scratch the surface of the beauty that is in this set. The fonts are to die for and there are some amazing scrolly leaf designs. I'll be back with more tomorrow, but until then be sure to check out the rest of the Design Team links for today. We will be sharing previews through Friday when the sets will be available for purchase. Enjoy!
So glad you stopped by! Have a super day!
