There’s a lot to share today, both eye candy and info wise. First off, welcome to day 1 of Waltzingmouse Stamps September release.
There are three new design team members joining us today! Woohooo!!! These ladies are uber talented and so inspirational (they get one’s mojo flowing) and I am so pleased to have them join the team. I’m sure you’ll find them to be familiar faces. Please welcome Becca, Clare and Kelly!
The stamps we will be showcasing over the next few days will be available for purchase on September 19th. Stay tuned because we all have a lot of lovelies to show you with the four sets that will be releasing this month. Plus, the CASE competition is on the 19th. Stay tuned for the deets, but as the name suggests, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for a design team member’s card that inspires you.
Today the design team is showcasing A Cottage Home. I decided I wanted to make a crafty version of a “we’ve moved” announcement. It will be a set (wouldn’t ya know I ran out of Cherry Cobbler cardstock-humph!). All of the images, except the birds (Tiny Trees), the frame around the sentiment (Fancy Frames), and the address block image (Victorian Frippery) are from A Cottage Home.
Here’s what the back of the card looks like. This is another single-layer, non-fold card. Perfect for mailing.
Please check out what the other design team ladies have to offer. You will not be disappointed! Thanks for stopping by!
