WMS June Release Day Blog Hop

Hello there!

Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Stamps June Release Day Blog Hop. Today, the eight new Waltzingmouse stamp sets we've been previewing for the past few days will be available for purchase in the Waltzingmouse Stamps store.

You should have arrived here from the fabulously talented Laurie Schmidlin's blog. The waltz starts over on Claire's blog, so be sure to head there if you're just popping in.

As usual, Blog Waltz prizes are up for grabs! One winner will be randomly chosen from the comments left on one of the Design Team blogs, so let us know what you think of the new release! You have until 6:59 AM EST on July 2nd to leave your comments. The winner will be announced on the WMS Blog on the 4th.

Jumping right in, a bright and cheery little number using You're A Doll.


As mentioned in my previous post about You're A Doll, the set has different sized nesting dolls to customize and mix. For this card, I used the middle size, stamping the tops and bottoms separately in different colors. I used markers to ink the faces and then punched them out using a 1/2" circle punch. The background was created using some of the little coordinating images found in the set.

My next card uses Funky Feathers.


I used one of the feather stamps and stamped it in a color gradient across the card. I love how it turned out. Since I am currently obsessed with the color gray, I thought I would try using a gradient of grays, starting with black up top. Adore this set!

We have the whole Design Team joining us today for the hop, so I won't keep you. Thank you so much for your visits and kind words over the past few days. It means so much to me that you stop by and share your thoughts.

Iwona will be your next stop along the hop! Take care!

  9. I truly could not choose which of your cards I like the most. They are both unique and special. I love the doll stamps. My parents collected wooden nesting dolls and this set reminds me of those. Your feather card is genius. What a great idea to use the same stamp and gradient the color. Thanks!
