Waltzingmouse Stamps/Spellbinders Grand Calibur Event 131

Mona Pendleton | Friday, January 21, 2011 @ 1:00 AM | , ,

Hi there! Today I am here to share THREE projects I created using a combination of Waltzingmouse Rescue Remedies and Rescue Remedies Additions, the Spellbinders Grand Calibur along with various die templates. Claire, Owner of Waltzingmouse Stamps thought this was an excellent time to showcase various Spellbinders products and how well they work with Waltzingmouse Stamps! And of course prizes and a competition are involved! Just pop over to the Waltzingmouse Stamps blog for all the details and links to those who are posting projects each day.

Please keep in mind this post focuses on Waltzingmouse Rescue Remedies and Rescue Remedies Additions only. There are COUNTLESS ways to mix and match these two stamp sets. Today, I have THREE projects to share so please be prepared for a long post with lots of pics :)

First up, is a layout I created featuring a photo of my longtime girlfriend, Caroline and myself while on a hike on Camelback Mountain, AZ.
I stamped the sentiment GLAD YOU'RE IN MY CORNER from Rescue Remedies Additions on a Tim Holtz ticket and added a label to the page on the right hand side that was stamped using an image from Rescue Remedies.
Did you happen to notice the LARGE Labels Four shape that the photo is layered upon? The Labels Four die template now comes in THREE various sizes: LF-190 Grand Labels Four, S4-190 Labels Four and NOW S4-309 Labels Four SM which will be released during Winter CHA! To make the label, I cut 3 strips of various Melissa Frances DP 6" W x 3.5" H, layered on top each other 3" apart slightly adhering the edges then placed a LF-190 Grand Labels Four die template on top, then cut/embossed using the Grand Calibur.
After cutting the patterned Labels Four, I layered it on top of a white label that was cut using the next larger size die template then adhered the edges only to the layout and stitched in place across the seams.
Here is the entire collection of the Labels Four die templates:
Next up is a little treat box gift ensemble.
First, I adorned the box with various beautiful Melissa Frances DP. I stamped a label from Rescue Remedies then using a S4-190 Labels Four die template to cut/emboss the image, inked the edges with distressing ink, adhered a pearl then adhered to front of box. The pretty Denim colored seam binding is courtesy of Kimberly at My Craft Spot.
I created this tag by combining a few stamps from both Rescue Remedies & Rescue Remedies Additions.
Shown in the photo below are the steps showing how I stamped the tag. First, I cut/embossed a tag using a NEW S4-309 Labels Four SM die template then stamped the ENJOY sentiment from Rescue Remedies Additions followed by stamping the motif image from Rescue Remedies below and above the sentiment. So easy to mix and match images from these two sets, making the possibilities endless!
The gift ensemble includes a lil' 3"W x 3"H Thank You card and envelope. The sentiment on the card was stamped using an image from Rescue Remedies Additions and the envelope was stamped using images from Rescue Remedies.
Last but not least is a small jar filled with candy and covered with a decorative fabric topper including a few tags:
From above, you can see how I added a lil' paper doily that was cut/embossed using a die template from the NEW S5-040 Floral Doily Accents that will be released at Winter CHA! The label image that reads SWEET CONFECTIONS is from Rescue Remedies and the FOR YOU tag was stamped by combining the FOR YOU sentiment from Rescue Remedies an the motif is from Rescue Remedies Additions.
Shown in the next two photos is how I made the scalloped fabric stamped jar topper. In the photo below you can see how perfectly a LF-124 Grand Scalloped Circle die template cut the muslin fabric:
After cutting the scalloped fabric topper, I inked up the two various sized floral images from Rescue Remedies, stamping along the scalloped border, alternating each image:
I hope you have enjoyed the projects I shared with you today and I hope I have given you some new ideas on how you can use Waltzingmouse Rescue Remedies and Rescue Remedies Additions as well as Spellbinders™ Nestabilities® LF-190 Grand Labels Four, S4-190 Labels Four, S4-309 Labels Four SM, S5-040 Floral Doily Accents, LF-124 Grand Scalloped Circles and GC-001 Grand Calibur.

Some Hot Hues! 45

Mona Pendleton | Thursday, January 20, 2011 @ 10:23 AM | , ,

Hi there! Here today to share a card I made which I think is quite Clean And Simple. The gorgeous piece of Pink Paislee DP speaks volumes all on it's own!
For color inspiration, I played along with Pink Paislee's Hot Hues Color Challenge:

After cutting the gorgeous Pink Paislee DP from the Sweetness 6" x 6" paper pad using a LF-161 Grand Labels One die template, I stamped a sentiment from Waltzingmouse Fancy Phrases, added a layered embellishment that was made using an image from Vintage Circles, Small and a S4-304 Eyelet Circles die template. Then topped it off with a seam binding bow and a pretty pink rose flower.
Thanks so much for looking! I will be back tomorrow at 3:00 AM Eastern to share a few special projects that I have been working on :) Hope to see you then! Have a great day :)

Stamps: Waltzingmouse Fancy Phrases, Vintage Circles, Small

Just Lovely & Snow Princess...MME Challenge #19 54

Mona Pendleton | Tuesday, January 18, 2011 @ 12:23 PM | , ,

Hi there! Here to share what I did with my day off from work! I made a card and layout for this month's My Mind's Eye Challenge No.19 which includes a card sketch and a scrapped layout sketch. I love making cards and scrapping layouts so I played along with both.
First up is a card made based on the MME sketch where the theme was "miscellaneous". This card features stamps from both My Mind's Eye Lost & Found/Market Street/Adore & Union Square/Perfect stamp sets all showcased on gorgeous patterned paper from the following collections: My Mind's Eye Lost & Found/Madison Avenue/Girlfriends & Madison Avenue/Sisters.
I inked up the crown from Lost & Found/Market Street/Adore with VersaMark ink, embossed with white embossing powder then used a S4-116 Standard Circles SM to cut/emboss the image which I then layered on a doily made using a S4-293 Lacey Circle die template. I added several pink pearls from Want2Scrap which by the way will be releasing a special product called "Nestabling" and coordinates perfectly with many Spellbinders die templates. Please feel free to check it out for yourself - click HERE to see all the fabulous products!
Next is my LO based on a "Winter" theme featuring my sweet daughter Angie while on a ski/snowboarding trip to Aspen.
This gorgeous sketch by Anam Stubbington allows for a lot of room to fill up using many of my favorite products!
The PRINCESS sentiment is from Lost & Found/Market Street/Adore stamp set. After inking up the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I used a S5-023 Mega Ovals LG die template to cut/emboss the image then layered it on top of a polka dot label from Waltzingmouse Holiday Labels No.14 which was cut/embossed using a S4-290 Labels Fourteen die template.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day and maybe find some time to be creative :) Be Sweet!

January Friends of WMS Blog Waltz 82

Mona Pendleton | Monday, January 17, 2011 @ 8:05 AM | ,

Hi There! Here today for the Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz. This month, Claire is challenging us all to create a Valentine/Love themed project.

Once the Waltz begins, you have plenty of time to visit all the participating blogs/galleries at your leisure. A separate thread will be set up for chat and a special game for a chance to win a stamp set of choice. And, of course, we will draw a name from all those who participate in the waltz to win a stamp set of choice! The competition doesn't end until 11:59 pm Eastern on January 19th, so you have plenty of time! We are playing the "watermark" game  - count the number of watermarks you find in the DT posts and then enter your guess in the chat thread for a chance to win a stamps set of choice. All the details are in the Waltzingmouse Forum (Playroom:Blog Waltzes), where you'll also find all the links for the waltz.
I made a treat gift set for my Valentine using Season's of Love - Tags, Vintage Ornaments, and Very Vintage Labels No. 10.


The gorgeous detailed heart is from Season's of Love - Tags. I stamped the heart with VersaMark ink then embossed the image with Silver embossing powder then using a S4-136 Classic Heart die template to cut/emboss the image and layered it on a scalloped heart cut/embossed using a S4-137 Classic Scalloped Heart die template.
The Be Mine...Valentine image on the card is from Season's of Love - Tags and the lil' motif is from Very Vintage Labels No. 10.
I made a lil' treat bag using the FREE Tea Bag Baggie template and filled it will a bunch of Hershey's kisses for my sweetie!
Up close, you can see how well the intricate design of the heart image "pops" when embossed. The for You sentiment is from Vintage Ornaments! Claire seems to pack various stamps in so many sets that can be used ANYTIME of the year!
Thanks for looking! Headed to work today, but I will be sure to catch up with the Waltz when I get home! Can't wait to see all the Valentine/Love projects! Be Sweet :)
