 
Hi there blog friends!! I’m absolutely tickled to be participating in the new releases blog hop today where we’ll show you some of the new things offered by Waltzingmouse Stamps and today I’m at the end of the line for the hop. Bonus, I have this card and am showing a non-Christmas card over on the Waltzingmouse Team Talk blog also – you can see it HERE! Today, all these goodies are in the store, just to tease you a little bit more. Remember, in order to complete the hop, leave a comment on as many of the Design Team Members Blogs as you can, as a random name is selected from each blog and then a final winner picked from those names. The winner will get a free stamp set of their choice from the Waltzingmouse Stamps store. You have until May 5 at 5:59 AM CST to leave your comment and then you can check on the Claire’s Blog on May 6 after 6am CST to see if you are a winner.
Yes, it is only May but what better excuse to sift through my Christmas papers to make this card! Today I picked traditional colors to show this awesome new tag in the Tag Collection 1 stamp set. Real Christmas red and holly along with a couple of pearls and I am feeling quite festive. My card is 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ and I used Spellbinders Adorning Labels Twenty Five and 5×7 Mystical Embrace on my layers.
For our hop today, I’m at the end of the line – if there was someone you didn’t catch you can check all the participants HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today. You’re the best ever and I hope you are enjoying your weekend!
Good morning blog friends! Today I have quite a change of pace with a fun, fun birthday card. I say fun because it was fun to design and fun to make and I think I can get away with giving it to an adult as well as a child. It’s a tri-fold card with a peek-a-boo flap in a small size of 4″ x 4″. When it opens up you see the first panel, the second panel, then the third panel and then the third panel flips up to reveal a final sentiment. As you open each panel of the the card, the sentiments from Large Birthday Party Sentiments Clear Stamps match the birthday song and on the final panel, a cupcake using the Cupcake Wishes Cling Stamp.
For each panel I cut Spellbinders Marvelous Squares and went around the border with a Krylon Gold Pen – one of my favorite craft tools. Then I hand dyed a small piece of white seam binding to match the gingham background of each section and tied it around each panel.
I cut the candles and cupcake pieces using SVG Cupcake Wishes Digital Cut then stamped using a variety of colors to match the gingham. Each sentiment is cut using JustRite Vintage Sentiment Tag Dies.

Hi there blog friends! As many of you guessed I was in one of the flooding areas yesterday. Thankfully I’m on ground that’s a little bit elevated but I must say that I’ve never seen so much water appear in such a short time – not even in a hurricane. It was about 10 feet from my house and thankfully receded during the day. No worries though, rain to me is an open invitation to stay inside and get crafty, so that’s exactly what I did. Today I’m joining as a part of the May 2014 new releases for JustRite Papercraft, and I’m using Butterflies Cling Stamps.
For my card I started with a 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ card base and built it up using Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight, Spellbinders Gold Majesty Circles, Spellbinders Heirloom Legacy and finally, Standard Circles LG and Standard Circles SM. I ran my ribbon through the slots on the small Heirloom Legacy piece and then decided to use two pieces of ribbon, criss crossed :-)

Good evening Becca,
As usual you have come up with a bright and cheery Christmas card, and although it may be considered by some to be very early in the year to be doing this, I have already started mine as I also make cards for the local hospice to raise funds.
Thank you for your great ideas. xx
Never too early to begin making Christmas cards, especially when they are as elaborate as yours.

You really dressed up this fun little sentiment Becca – that satin bow and beautiful black die cut set it off wonderfully! It’s really just stunning! I’m off to see your non-Christmas card !
Wow! You jolted me right out of my chair – thought perhaps the months had been flying by faster than I realized! :) They go fast enough as it is. Nice card, though, and does get me thinking.
I enjoyed seeing Christmas here on your blog. I love Christmas year-round and your papers and new image are great.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful as always. I am inspired to start thinking and working on some Christmas cards!
Hi Becca, A beautiful card, as always your cards are awesome !!
In January 2014 I promised myself to make a Christmas card every month, here we are in month 5 and yep, you guessed it, I have made none so far haha.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Gorgeous Christmas card!!
Beauty….but spring hasn’t even sprung over here yet, so I’m not even ready to think a Christmas. argggggg. I do love, however, the pink you added in there!
So sweet, Wow Christmas, yes it comes around so quickly! Time to start shopping for my Christmas card ideas. You are always an inspiration Becca Thank you.

Becca – you are quite simply the queen of bows! It sets off that Christmas stamp perfectly.
Love the way you’ve used those traditional Christmas colours. What an elegant way to show off this fun sentiment.
Great card as always Becca
What a fabulous card! I love the stamped message – such fun! Your beautifully layered cards are always such a joy to behold – thank you.
Becca,
What a gorgeous card. Love the diagonal effect you used, just lovely. You always do a great job.
Beautiful card!
It’s always nice to see some ideas for Christmas, no matter what time of year it is. Thanks for the inspiration! This is a wonderful card!
I do love to look at a Christmas card anytime of the year and this one is gorgeous – lovn that bow! But I just cant seem to get in the mood to make them myself before September/October time.
Great card Becca, though I find it hard to think of Christmas at this time of year (on the other hand, I’ve just started crocheting a blanket as a Christmas present, so perhaps I should retract my statement, LOL).
This is such a great card Becca , love that sentiment.
You have really put this together so beautifully,
XxxRuth
Hello Becca

Hi Becca. Great Christmas card ( I must start making some soon!) I love the red bow, it really is stunning. Take care.
Hi Becca
Such a beautiful card so rich looking and as always your bow adds a touch of luxury. Thank you for the hint to think about getting started so that Christmas is not the usual mad rush!!!!
With love

I thought I had an old back number when I spied the holly! Really amazing as always and the get ready for Christmas advice is sensible. It would be lovely to be ready for a change.
What an elegant christmas card – whoever gets it can call him/herself very lucky!!!!
Good morning Becca,
Becca, what are you trying to do to us? It’s just the start of May and already you are making “C” cards( weep,weep). it is a beautiful card though and the holly is so vibrant. The beautiful red ribbon is so luxurious that you can see from the pictures, but dafty here was looking for the his part of the ribbon.(excuse me having a Simpson moment) i have the loan of someone else’s brain i think this morning
Love and crafty hugs

Becca, the colors are gorgeous. I love the holly paper, and the red ribbon is so silky and fabulous. Thanks.
Becca – Your creativity and talent never cease to amaze me. The cards that you have made are all quite lovely. I find you also to be a lovely person in your all your kindness to all of us. I can speak for all of us, I believe, when I say, we feel the same way about you. May God bless you and keep you. Sincerely, Kathleen from Arizona
