Hi friends!
Happy Monday to ya, and Happy 3rd & final preview day of the Waltzingmouse Stamps March Release!
I thank you all for such a warm reception to my attempt at scrapbooking!
It’s clearly not my forte, but it’s a creative muscle that I plan to exercise more and more this year.
I’ve committed to at minimum a page a month (I know, how sad is that?), which is a big step from where I was last year, lol!
Anyhow, back to today… I’ve got some super-duper-fun/must-have/you-don’t-wanna-leave-these-off-your-list stamps to preview for you!
Today, we’re showing you some peeks into Vintage Banners and Bitty Banners, and I’m THRILLED!
Claire’s designed some gorgeous banner stamps! And as if that’s not enough… she’s made them Spellbinders compatible! Yay!
This first project is a card that I made after being inspired by this week’s Waltzingmouse Sketch no. 36. I used Bitty Banners, and strung those cutesies right along my card.
Cute, no?
That pretty cotton twine is from miss Carly’s shop, and so are those mini-clothespins… so cute!
The patterned paper is more yumminess from Emma’s Shoppe. Love that line with all my heart!
Next up… I used Vintage Banners to make a fun decorative banner to hang in my craft room…
I have this big ol’ bulletin board (Thanks Denise!) that I use to hang deadlines, dt calendars, cards from friends, etc… But other than the pretty cards from my friends, the board was kinda boring, lol… So this banner is really something I’ve been needing…
(please excuse the terrible lighting!)
Can I just say… These stamps are awesome! Lol… the size alone make me gitty! And the designs are just one-of-a-kind.
Love ‘em.
I used some letter stickers to spell the word “Create”, but this stamp set also has some fun sentiments that coordinate just perfectly! You may see them on some of the other DT’ers blogs, but if not, you’ll have to wait for the full reveal tomorrow, lol.
One last tidbit I’ll add is how incredibly easy these banners are to make! Claire provides the most impeccable quality of stamps, and I had such a joy stamping with them for this release!
Well, that about does it for today! Vintage Banners and Bitty Banners are so much fun to play with, and they’re perfect to use for any occasion! I wouldn’t hesitate on scooping these up for your WM stash, if I were you.
Before I go…
I want to take a moment to say good-bye to a friend, miss Lisa, the sweetheart otherwise known as the DT coordinator for the WM sketch and stamp teams… She’s been nothing short of an angel with a heart the size of Texas to me, and to all of us. Lisa was always right where you needed her when you needed her, and was the best cheerleader ever! Lisa is just special.
So, it’s a bit sad that she’ll no longer be serving in that role with WM any longer. The good news is we don’t have to stay sad for long, because Lisa leaves us with a big ball of excitement in our stomachs over what she has in the works! She’s got something brewing that I know you all will be thrilled about, so stay tuned for it!
And since I failed to give due mention about this in my post two days ago, I wanted to share that just as Lisa’s time with the WM sketch team has come to a close, so has mine. As a member of the stamp team, I will absolutely continue to play along with the WM Sketches, just in a different capacity now.
So… now that I’ve finished my farewells, head on over to see what other gorgeous work is out there for you to gaze upon… lol!…

FANTASTIC Sarah – Your card is gorgeous with your sparkle studding bunting and your cloth stamped sentiment. A truly lovely design.
And your banner is sure to inspire you every time you glance up at your bulletin board. Such amazing elements to captivate the eye. AMAZING!
Oh, Sarah – I am in love with that CREATE banner!!! I so totally need to make something like that! Thank you so much for your incredible inspiration!
I am at a loss for words! Your soft banner card is so pretty in the pink and green and bit of sparkle!
The banner you created is just gorgeous – I am so glad you took the close up shots, what amazing detail! The textures and colors.. I love home decor like this!
Sarah your banner is fantastic! The card is lovely. I have questions. What companies make the letters and papers you used? Trying to get a feel for the size of the banner. The pink paper is lovely on your card. Stamping on the muslin is adorable. Thanks for sharing your marvelous projects.
I love your banner, Sarah! That is so pretty! =)
Eeek!! I just love coming to your blog and seeing your GORGEOUS creations!! Always such beautiful goodness!

Those banner stamps are adorable and your idea for your board inspired me! I just have a simple white wipe-off with a recycled wood frame…Sorry to hear your leaving the WM Dt but I will still look forward to seeing your daily posts every morning! It’s Sarah and my hot cuppa tea. Thanks!
Totally sweet card…like the touch of muslin! The banner is gorgeous, too!
Your bulletin board banner is darling! What a wonderful way to dress up your work space. I may just have to borrow this idea. And your card is adorable. Love your little fabric sentiment and the pearl embellished clothespins.
Love your small banners card (thanks for doing it in the rounded banner, because nobody else used those stamps, and now I can’t wait for that set!), and I love your “Create” banner: so fun and pretty. Your are a credit to the design team. looking forward to many of your other creations!!
Sarah – I love the different shape of banners you’ve used on the card. Really creates a different feel altogether.
Lovely mixes of colours and techniques too. Thanks for the inspiration. xx
I just love the “Sarah” colors you used on your sweet little string of banners on your card! the little pearls on the clothespins really dress it up! and your CREATE banner is a wonderful way to dress up your board! the letters look great on it – as well as the clothes pinned ribbons! Two lovely projects today Sarah!
Wow, both of these are so incredibly gorgeous, Sarah! I especially love the second one! Just love your vintage style! You and Mona absolutely rock that style!
Beautiful card and CREATE banner Sarah! Love the pinked edges!
I’m shedding tears over your lovely words, Sarah! Thank you thank you thank you for making me feel so special and so appreciated… you have no idea how much that means! I think I’ll print this out and hang it in my craft room.
You are the loveliest person who makes the loveliest things. I’m blessed to know you!
Big huge hugs,
Lisa
