Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Stamps May Release. This is preview Day 1 and there are two new sets that you’ll get a peek at over the next several days. This is quite a change of pace for me, and a welcome one. As soon as I saw Country Labels Four, I knew I’d be making a gift ensemble and it was as easy as pie. The set has such a country, gingham, home cooking kind of feel that I opted for a gift basket with homemade jam. I stamped the labels in kraft and added them to the jam jar and some pretties for the outside. My chicken wire basket is full of shredded kraft paper and I used corrugated cardboard for the embellishment along with some linen thread and gingham ribbon. Country!
These are the cutest little canning jars! I thought half-pint was about the smallest but yep, there is a four ounce or a half-half-pint :-) They are just big enough that two can fit in a small basket.
I knew there was some reason I was holding on to this mini spoon and fork. They made the perfect embellishment and a place to hang a thank you tag!

Gorgeous little gift basket Becca, great use of the stamps!
This gift basket is just adorable. It is a perfect gift for so many occasions. I love seeing your projects each day!. Thanks for all the inspiration
This would be a cool gift .Melanie
What a precious gift for some lucky person. I just love the way you’ve dolled it up “country”.
I would like to learn how to import stamped images to my Silhouette Portrait and make cut files of them.
Thanks again for the give-a-way chance.
This is a LOVELY GIFT BECCA!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!! This is the kind of gift I like to give!!!!!!!! :)
Good morning Becca:
What a sweet idea! You mustn’t sleep at night with all these different ideas racing around in your head:).
Thanks for sharing,
Jean.
I love the gift basket of jam and what a nice house warming gift or a holiday gift. This is the season to make those baskets and jams Dolores Hausler
Becca, this is such a lovely gift ensemble! I adore the rustic country feel of it and that little pop of red you added is just gorgeous!
An absolutely darling set Becca, What a delicious treat!! Love how you put this together, the kraft, the gingham etc, perfect!! hugs to you!
Love this sweet gift basket and the way you have decorated it with these cute stamps. This would make a wonderful homemade gift for someone. I am not sure if we are supposed to post our “would like to use more” tool project here or on the other post so I am going to do it at both places. I would also like to become more proficient at using my Cricut machines. I have several models but the Imagine is the one I need to make better use of.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Another prize, Becca! I needed something like this to put in a raffle for an organization I belong to. This would be absolutely perfect! If you are giving it away as a prize, I would love to win it!!!!! Bless you girl.

Oh YUM….anyone would love to receive your project. I love the heart in the bow tied with twine. It really makes it pop! And, I love corrugated cardboard. They just got packets of all different colors in at my local scrap book store. I wonder if it would die cut??? Probably flatten it out tho’ huh ! Fabulous project. Thank you so much for sharing. I will definitely keep this in mind when I make my strawberry jam this Summer.
What a creative and totally “sweet” gift basket. I love what you have done with this set. A presentation of extreme creativity!
Beautiful gift ensemble Becca! This is a charming set!
What a cute thank you gift or a welcome to the neighborhood gift. I need to learn to use my embossing folders in different ways.
What a sweet gift idea!
CUTE!!!!
Beautiful! Everything you touch just comes to life.
Becca, how completely adorable! You never ever disappoint!!
Love the basket… The know and fork are a cute touch! TFS!
Such a cute basket!! I love all the little details–the buttons and bows. Esp love how you added the silverware on the side. Great ideas.
Precious gift set!
HELLO, We have jars smaller than a quarter pint – we have 2 Ounce ones
which are just right for potting up Jam for my elderly relatives on my husbands side- I do cream Tea baskets and a Jam selection.
In the Autumn I do Chutneys, leave them in the Dark for six weeks then do Christmas boxes.
What an adorable gift set. I can see so many uses for this set! Thanks for showing us.
My appreciation to Tapeonline & Becca for the great giveaway opportunity. I’d like to know how to do partial cuts (where part of the image remains out of the cut) better using my Spellbinders dies for shaped cards. Have a great Holiday weekend! {{Hugs}}
What a beautiful gift, I love the heart buttons and corrugated card! Fabulous!
Fabulous thank you gift set!
Wonderful! I love the little basket and the two jars of jam look so tasty. I think the fork and spoon trims are just perfect! Great work!
Love your sweet thank you basket!

This is a really cute set… you do a great job with Claire’s stamp sets!! I think this set captures the country kitchen feel perfectly!
