Waltzing Mouse November Blog Waltz

Hi everyone! We've been having so many outages this week because of the strong winds. I'm so glad the power was back when we got home. I tried something new today. I've always seen the Blog Waltz at Waltzing Mouse Stamps but have never tried it. So today, I decided to register and join in the waltz! :) The theme for the November Blog Waltz is of course, Christmas cards using Waltzing Mouse Stamps. I can't wait to see what people come up with. I'm not yet done with my Christmas cards and I'm running out of ideas! It would be great to find some new inspiration! :) 


Here's my card for the Waltz. It's a vintage Christmas card. I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but I just couldn't make up  my mind. I had these patterned papers all over the place, moving them around the card to decide where to put them. Eventually they ended up like this! :)

The patterned papers are from K&Company. The yellow block of textured cardstock is from DCWV. I stamped a part of a WMS Holiday Label 14 stamp all around it and inked the edges with Tea Dye, then brown. I also used a silver doily for some Christmas festive feeling. I can't remember the brand, but it's from Michael's at the baking aisle. I die cut a Labels 14 die and stamped a WMS Holiday Label 14 on it. The sentiment is also from Waltzing Mouse, I believe it's called Compliments of the Season. I just love these two stamp sets! They're my favorite this month. I also ordered the Vintage Ornaments, but so many people just love it that it seems to back-ordered...until I don't know when. I hope it makes it in time for me to use this season! :) 

Anyway, I hope you like this one! I really enjoyed making it! :) Thanks for stopping by! I'll have another post for everyone later on at midnight! See you then! :)
