Waltzingmouse Stamps PJ Party


Evening all! Earlier this week I noticed Waltzingmouse Stamps were having a Pajama Party and I've never participated before.  I dug out my WMS stamps and couldn't stop stamping!

I can only link one card, per blog post.  In the morning I will look at creating a separate blog post for each card.

(Can I apologise in advance for the camera shake?)

I had aimed for the 'Red and White' category but every time some other colour just snuck in there, so I'm opting for the 'Old Pajamas' category - use older WMS stamps.

I began by stamping with white ink on black paper, using the small and large snowflakes and the tree stamp from Nordic Winter to create a snow scene, adding some sequins for sparkle and mounting on kraft:


I liked the snowflakes background so much, for one of the cards I just added nested tags and used the little trees as leaves, adding ribbon and a button and mounting on white card:


I wasn't nearly done with stamping snowflakes, so I thought - red snowflakes - why not? This time I stamped baubles from 2011 Holiday Ornaments:


School runs and meals interfered with my plans at this point but I did get one last card made - for the moment - I was so inspired by digging out these older WMS stamps that I'm not nearly finished, and I hope to get at least one more made in the morning based on the sketch, check it out and have a go too! Anyway, the card. I used a leftover strip of the white-on-black snowflakes and added some gorgeous stitchery in red and white from Nordic Winter, and a label from the fabulous Seasonal Remedies set


My first WMS PJ Party and I had a lot of fun! Looking forward to seeing the other entries.

  3. I think it's this colour combination - Mojo just latches onto it and you just can't stop 'cos the colours look so amazing.
    Fantastic creations. I love the little trees as leaves and the sequin strings for the ornaments.
