Wplus9 October Sneak Peeks - Day 1

It seems like it's been one release after another hasn't it?! Well it HAS! :) Today is DAY 1 of WPlus9 October Sneak Peeks! This month Dawn has 4 brilliant stamp sets to share with everyone. We're moving on ahead with Christmas themed stamps because we know that a lot of people love to make their Christmas cards in advance. Day 1 introduces Fair Isle Backgrounds and Winter Wishes. 


Here's my sample for this set. I used one of the larger images from Winter Wishes to make this gorgeous  round image. I stamped it in light blue and die cut the circle. I stamped a sentiment from the same set and adhered it over the circle with some foam tape. 

The beautiful border that I stamped in red is one of the many images from Fair Isle Backgrounds. Since the card was mostly using cool and neutral colors, I though a pop of red would be nice. The set has a LOT of background images I just KNOW you're going to love using on your Christmas cards. Some of them you can even use on other projects other than Christmas themed ones! :)  That's WPlus9 for ya! I'll see you all again tomorrow for DAY 2. 

The Craft's Meow October Sneak Peeks - Day 5

It's Day 5 of The Craft's Meow October Sneak Peeks. We have one last stamp set to share with everyone.  Today we're showcasing Fall Fun by Jenny Suchin. If you love cutesy images...you will LOVE this set. Here's the sneak peek that Lisa shared with everyone over at The Craft's Meow Store Blog.

And here's my sample for this set. Isn't that image such a darling?! It's just so darn cute I had to make it the focal image of my card. I also used another TCM set here, It's a Banner Day. I stamped and hand cut the banner and stamped the cute acorn image on it. 

I stamped the cute turkey image on different patterned papers and layered them one over the other. I just love anything with dimension. I think it adds a lot more interest to the card that way. So whatya think? :) Enjoying the sneak peeks so far? We have one more day to go, the HOP of course! I'll see you there ok? Don't forget to visit the other DT ladies! There are prizes up for grabs when you comment! :)

The Craft's Meow October Sneak Peeks - Day 4

This is my second post for the day. Please scroll down if you're looking for my CASE Study Challenge 59 post.


Welcome to Day 4 of The Craft's Meow October Sneak Peeks! Enjoying yourself? Ready to do some shopping at the end of the week? :) Today's sneak peek preview is Fruity For You by Nina Brackett.  I'm a big fan of Nina's and I always expect fabulous images from her. This one is no different! I totally love it! Have you seen the sneak peek for it?!

I just love the fresh look of this stamp set. I would image that a lot of CAS designers would totally fall in love with this one. But seeing as how I'm one of the shabby chic residents  of TCM, I opted for a more layered and soft look for this set. It's pretty simple really...I just stamped the image on cream card stock, added patterned paper strips and ran it through my sewing machine. I tied a lovely soft orange bow and added a label to stamp my sentiment on. Then I adhered the panel onto some kraft cardstock base. 

What do you think of this one? I'm really loving all the colors in this card. There's one more stamp set to be revealed tomorrow. I'll see you then! Don't forget to jet on over to The Craft's Meow Store Blog for some fab prizes! :) 

The Craft's Meow October Sneak Peeks - Day 3

Hi again! I hope you enjoyed Day 2 of The Craft's Meow October Sneak Peeks. Let's get on with Day 3! Today we're showing you snippets of Apple Pickin' Time. This one is another cutie! Lots of fun images to color in. So get your Copics ready!!! :)

Here's my sample for this stamp set. I went for sweet and simple with this one. I just stamped the apple tree image straight onto the doily. I layered a background panel that I stamped myself and adhered a lavender patterned paper over it. Then I finished it off with some twine, a button and a little tag. 

I wish I was better at coloring. But seeing as how I'm not, it was wonderful to see that these images look good uncolored. Enjoying our sneak peeks so far? The TCM DT has more in store for everyone. So don't forget to check out their blogs! See you again tomorrow for Day 4! :)

The Craft's Meow October Sneak Peeks - Day 2

Hi! I'm back for Day 2 of The Craft's Meow October Sneak Peeks. We're happy to show you little snippets of the Happy Fall stamp set today. This is such a cute set, I'm absolutely sure you'll love it! It has about 10 images and 2 sentiments. People who love to color with just "Fall" for this one! ;)

I went for a completely different look this time. Fall has always been connected to yellows, orange, browns, but I wanted something else for this cute set. I brought in some white and light blues. Of course orange is still in there some how lol! 

I stamped and cut out the pumpkin and the leaves and layered them with foam tape. Then I adhered them to the seed packet cover. I like that it has a garden feel to it. We don't have pumpkins in the Philippines, at least I've never seen one there. I think it might be because of the weather. But I would love to see a pumpkin patch one day! :) 

After this head on over to the other TCM girls, they have more to show you! :) See you again tomorrow!

The Craft's Meow October Sneak Peeks - Day 1

It's the end of the month, and time for another fabulous release from The Craft's Meow. TCM has 5 fun sets for the October release. Let's start off with the first one shall we? Today's sneak peek is from As We Gather Together.

It's a Thanksgiving/Fall stamp set just in time for November. I know a lot of you would want to start early. In fact, after I finish with all the releases I wanted to start on my Christmas cards! lol! 

This set has 5 images, 1 border, and 6 sentiments. A lot to go around wouldn't you say? :) Here's my sample for As We Gather Together.

I went for fall colors, and tried to keep the layering down to a minimum. In truth, I wanted to try to make a one layer card with this one. But I just COULDN'T. I couldn't stop myself from layering and adding lace and ribbon. :) What do you think? I can't wait to show you more! After this, make sure you head on over to the other TCM girls! See y'all tomorrow! 

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge 66

Hi everyone! I was so caught up with what I was doing tonight that I almost forgot to post my WMSC 66!!! So many new shows started showing! Did you see X-Factor? And Grey's Anatomy?! OMGoodness! lol! Ren and I are TV/Movie people. :) 


It's Saturday, and time for another Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. This week we have a tricky one. It's a CIRCLE card! I'm sooo bad with circle cards. But WMSC has been pushing me from my safe place (lol!). I'm sure it's good practice. so...here's WMSC 66! :)

Here's my card for this sketch. I moved things around a bit...I've been having so much fun making Halloween cards that I can't seem to stop. I hope you don't mind! :) 

I used Text It to make my background. I layered some images over the text to make a scene. The stars, sentiment, and witch are from Midnight Feast and the bats are from Halloween Party. Of course, you can also count on Victorian Frippery to make a nice pattern. I thought this was perfect for what I wanted to do.

I'll see you over at WMSC! Enjoy your weekend! And don't forget to go through the other Mischief Makers and WMS Design Team to check out their samples. :)
