Hi there blog friends! We are pressing right into Day Three of previews for Waltzingmouse Stamps and I have a couple of super sweet sets to show you. My cards are made using two sets called Santa is Coming to Town and 2011 Holiday Ornaments. They both feature ornaments that match with Spellbinders™ 2011 Heirloom Ornaments. For the first I embossed my ornament with Versafine Vintage and clear embossing powder and colored select portions of the ornament. I mounted it on a card base made from Spellbinders™ Grand Labels Twenty Three (one of my favorites). Lastly I added a row of lace and seam binding but before sewing I tucked the border from Spellbinders™ Lace Doily Accents underneath my lace.
I just love the Bazzill buttons, they’re so spar-ka-lee!! I took a Prima Poinsettia and threaded through it when I added my Bazzill button, just for something a little bit different in the center of my ribbon. This ornament with Santa is already a favorite with me.
The ornaments in the 2011 Holiday Ornaments set are varied and are a good size, so I decided to make a tall card (fits in a size 10 business envelope). I gold embossed each of three ornaments that I cut with Spellbinders™ 2011 Heirloom Ornaments. For the each of the ornaments I attached a Tim Holtz memo pin and threaded seam binding through each loop. The ornaments all hang from the top of the card and I topped it off with a topper made using Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Three. At the bottom of the card I added a sentiment using Spellbinders™ Ribbon Banners.

Becca, This is absolutely Beautiful!!
I love the colors.
I can be on another site and see a card and know when it is yours, most of the time. You have never made a card that I didn’t love. Thanks!!!!!!
Stunning projects! My favs so far with these sets!
WOW you´ve just done it again Becca, made another stunning masterpiece here. Both cards are so gorgeous and so elegant. You just never seems to run out of ideas here and all so wonderful.
Have a wonderful week-end hun and lots of fun, I hope.
B e a u t i f u l !
WOW! Very Stunning indeed.
ColleenB.

Becca, these are both just amazing. I adore them both but the tall one is my absolute favourite. Stunning as always. xx

Hugs Bridget :0) x
Just BEAUTIFUL!
Amazing card as ever Becca. I love Waltzing Mouse stamps and was delighted when you became on the the design team.x
Very beautiful and elegant cards, Becca. On the first one I like very much how you put the image of Santa Clause and the sentiment onto that ornament. And the second one with the gold embossed ornaments is just wonderful. And on both cards I also like your embellishments, e.g. ribbons and punched border.
Kind regards
Carola
GASP! These cards took my breath away. I’m in awe of the way you have incorporated the lovely stamps into these two magnificent cards. Most definitely the style of card that moves my world. Thank you so much.
So elegantly gorgeous!!
With old world charm…
these are just stunning!
WOWZA! So detailed and festive and wonderful. I am singing Deck the Halls really loudly in my head right now…fa la la la la LA LA LA LA!
Stunning!
Not one but two it is difficult To vote for one. I like both. Maybe the long one because I don’t have to do an enveloppe. I am just thinking is it possible for you to show how you make an enveloppe pretty with a detail who match the enveloppe… Merci beaucoup!
Two beautiful cards Becca. I love the colors chosen. The first one looks very regal to me. I love the shape of the card and how you topped it with the ornament die-cut. The second one is just so delightful. Love the arrangement of the ornaments and the ribbon banner which hold the sentiment. Of course they are embellished so nicely. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
What gorgeous ornament cards Becca! Love the coloring and sponging on them, the fun shapes of your cards and wonderful ribbons!
Hi Becca. I’m not sure you’ve read my request for you to do the video on the pop up snowflake card from last year that you said you were going to do, so I’m asking again. I’d love to make it for Christmas cards. Thanks much !!
Gorgeous cards Becca. You are so talented.
Wow! Very beautiful cards. I love them!
Good morning Becca ~ only you can create the most imaginative and beautiful cards ever! Thank you for sharing. Take care, Jean.

Good Morning Becca
Truly beautiful cards. You are so very talented!!
I am sure that you have discussed it before but could you take a few minutes to tell me how you make a CARD BASE with a SHAPED TOP FOLD??? The ornament card looks like it has a scallop edge on the top fold, how do you do that and still keep the fold together???
Love your work.
Hugs & Smiles
Trisha
Your creations are beautiful and breathtaking, Becca! I feel like I say that with every comment, but it’s true. I just adore your sponged loon on your ornament card and that bow! Oh my!
Love the fun shape of your Santa card. Such a fun way to wish someone a happy holiday!
Oh! I really love this card!!! Beautiful.
Becca,
I really enjoy your blog and have used some of your ideas because they are just beautiful. For some reason yesterday, I was thinking I had not had an email from your blog that you posted and wondered if you were on hiatus or away and was cleaning my inbox email and an old one where i did not deleted was there and I got to your blog wondering again what happened. However you have been going strong. I am glad. So I do not know what happened. I will put my name down again to receive your emails, maybe something happened. Thank you so much for your inspirations and beautiful items. I enjoy getting your email that you have posted. Blessings, Gale
Such gorgeous cards! Ger x.
What fun Christmas stamps, and I love your cards. They are
gorgeous as usual
Your cards are absolutley amazing! I just love them! I do have a question, though. Grand Labels Twenty Three does not have rounded corners. How do you round and emboss the corners on the bottom edge? And I’d also like to know how you make a card base with a shaped top fold.
Becca, beautiful card. Is there anyway you can start saying what the size of the card is in your description? Thanks so much for your insprirations!!!
Such fabulous christmas cards! Love the traditional style. And sooo elegant!
Becca I always love coming to your site because I love your work as always I love your work, Just stunning
Gorgeous, as always! Your work just oozes elegance!
I love coming to your site. You are so inspirational. I now need to buy this die and stamp set!
Love these cards, so pretty. This is such a pretty die and stamp set.
I love your card! I just ordered this die cut and the stamp set. Can’t wait to play. Thank you for sharing!
