 
Hi there blog friends!! You’ve seen bits and pieces and now you get to see the whole thing – that is, the two new sets we’ve been showing for the past couple of days with Waltzingmouse Stamps. If you jumped in the middle of our list, the best way to make your way through the hop is to start at Claire’s Blog she has the complete sequence if you get out of order or if one of the links don’t work. If you have just come here from Tosh’s blog then you are in the right place! In order 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 gets a free set of their choice of Waltzingmouse stamps. You have until June 1st at 5:59 AM CST to leave your comment and then you can check on the Claire’s Blog on June 3 after 6am CST to see if you are a winner. Stay tuned, below I’ll tell you your next stop along the hop!!
Here are links to each of the new sets:

Today I wanted to create a framed card, so I started with Spellbinders® Gold Labels Four and Spellbinders® Labels Four cut at the same time to make a frame. Then I cut another Labels Four and intertwine them so that parts of Spellbinders® Twisted Metal Tags and Accents falls in front and part falls in back. I topped off with the smaller size of Labels Four and embellished my flowers with Spellbinders® Foliage. As you can tell, I was in a foam tape mood today — I love using dies as frames and when elevating each layer, it gives the card depth.
So to recap the layers I used from the bottom up, my card base is 5-1/2″ x 6-1/2″, foam tape, Pink Matting Layer 4-7/8″ x 6″, design paper 4-3/4″ x 5-7/8″, foam tape, die cut layer Gold Labels Four and Labels Four (cut at same time to make frame), die cut layer Twisted Metal Tags and Accents with Labels Four, foam tape, die cut layer Labels Four. Attach ribbons and sentiment on appropriate layer.

Hi there blog friends!! I have another blog post coming later today but wanted to scoot in here this morning to let you know the winner of the Clear Cases from TapeOnLine. Thank you for sharing information about the tools you want to make better use of – I hope to have tutorials geared towards your requests. In the meantime, there were over 775 entries – yes, the clear cases are a popular item!! I just purchased some myself and have just finished putting my dies away. My collection has expanded and I can no longer keep them on my table but they are within arms reach, so I’ll have an update to my original organization post some time in June, after I’ve finished labeling new dies. Without further ado, here’s the winner. Please reach out to me within the next 48 hours through the contact tab at the top right side of my blog. All you need to do is leave me your name and mailing address so that I can pass it along to the TapeOnLine folks!
Again, here are the items generously offered by TapeOnLine (Thanks!!!)
Thanks so much for participating and thanks to the blog candy sponsor TapeOnLine for the generous offering.
Good morning blog friends. We’re back with another peek at one of the new Waltzingmouse Stamps sets – this one is called Country Labels Four. I’m absolutely intrigued with this set for its charm and for it’s simplicity. In my small tiny house when we have guests, we have a couple of rituals we follow. They have a basket of toiletries and towels waiting in their room and then in the dining room we have a chalkboard plate on an easel and we write “Welcome” and the guests names. It’s a tiny touch and and it’s so out of place because it sounds like something you’d find at a huge lodge or a bed and breakfast and I think we do it to poke fun of our little abode. I can’t tell how many times our guests gush over those little touches. All that to say that I think I’ve found something to add to the ritual – a card to put at their place on the table…… This has to be one of the most simplest I’ve done this year. It has to be an easy, quick do if it is to get done when guests are expected . . . Me thinks I have this one down to 10-15 minutes ;-)
For this card I’ve simply used a border punch around the edge and it leaves a solid panel in the center. On top of that I layered Spellbinders® Ornate Squares. If you’re curious about how to punch the panel, I have a tutorial on Border Filled Frames and it will explain how and the size of paper needed. If you’re curious about how to make the filigree on both the front side and the backside of an oversized card base, then check out my tutorial on Hinged Filigree Cards – except this uses a punch instead of a die template.
So to recap the layers I used from the bottom up, I started with a 4″ x 6-1/2″ card base, foam tape (optional), black matting layer 2″ x 4-3/8″, brown matting layer 1-7/8″ x 4-1/4″, foam tape (optional), Ornate Squares die cut, foam tape (optional), brown layer 1-5/8″ x 1-5/8″. The same layers are done on the inside of the card. Attach ribbon and sentiment on the appropriate layer.
Don’t forget to peek in on the other ladies to see how they spun this set today. Also don’t forget, I have some pretty cool blog candy that’s up for grabs until Wednesday, May 29th. Still feeling lucky? Good! Click ———>HERE to get to the post where you need to leave a comment or simply scroll back to my post of May 24th. Hugs to you, hope you had a fabulous holiday!!

What I like so much about this card is the way you used the pink ink stamped on the die cutouts. The stripes and solids are very attractive and all of the cutouts just fit so well together. I love this card along with all the cards you do.
