Waltzingmouse Stamps Day 1 New Release Previews


Hi friends and welcome to Day 1 of Waltzingmouse Stamps sneak peeks. I am previewing Hello Happy Thanks...so luv this set.....it is my favorite! It comes with larger sentiments and then smaller words you can pair with the large word...so sweet. I have used the new Spellbinders Celebrations papers and die for my card! 



This set is called Vintage Baby Shower, isn't it gorgeous? I luv the layered/shadowed sentiment, so very cool and gives so much depth. I stamped the umbrella in black for a more vintage feel and paired it with green so it can be used for a boy or a girl.

Be sure to check out the other DT's creations, these ladies are amazing! Release day we will have a blog hop and you can comment on your chance at winning Waltzingmouse Stamps...sparkle & shine!
