WMS March Release Day Three

Well, its Monday morning, but I have more goodies from Waltzingmouse Stamps to share with you, so that makes it a bit better. Waltzingmouse is releasing five new sets tomorrow! Today we are previewing the last two new sets,Vintage Banners and Bitty Banners!

Banner images are all the rage, and your requests for a WMS version have been heard loud and clear!

Vintage Banners is a wonderful large scale set (think Vintage Ornaments) that coordinate with the Nested Pennants and Nested Lacey Pennants dies released by Spellbinders at CHA. Word through the grapevine is these dies will be available mid-March, but the set is very easy to use without them!

Would you like to see?

I wanted to take the look of a hanging, strung banner without actually doing so. So I created an accordian-fold card to hold my colorful birthday banner.

Its like a party in a card (and pretty darn impossible to photograph)! ;) Each banner flag is made up of one large gingham and one medium polka dot banner image. These are so pretty! The gingham ones are just gorgeous!

I used my pinking shears again to cut out the gingham flag. A strip of glitter was added for a finishing touch. Wouldn't this be a fun birthday card for a little one?

Today's second card features Bitty Banners. This mini set is packed with little banner flags of different sizes and shapes.

This card features the long banner, and I used a combination of the solid and outline images. My color scheme came from this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge.

I stamped my sentiment (from Asian Gardens Additions) right inside one of my flags. Once adhered to my card base, I stitched down one side.

I topped it off with a pretty wood button!

To round out my projects for today, I thought it would be fun to make a tag. I used Bitty Banners again to put together my take on the classic blue ribbon!

I started with a tag base that I had inked and distressed. I stamped a whole bunch of the star banners in light blue ink, then again in dark blue ink. I snipped out the middle of the dark blue banners and adhered them to the center of the light blue ones. These would be fantastic for Independence Day!

Once I had assembled my bi-colored banners, I adhered them behind my sentiment
(from Vintage Banners), which was matted with a pinking circle. What fun!

So that's it for today, please be sure to visit the other Design Team members sharing previews of Vintage Banners and Bitty Banners today:



Have a great day!

Anya
