Waltzingmouse March Release...Folk Art Labels 25

Good morning!
So did you enjoy yesterday's previews?
Aren't you just loving A Good Egg?
An adorable set for Easter...
and so many other occasions throughout the year.

So are you ready for today's preview?

Then let's get to it!

Today we're previewing a sweet little bitesize set that packs a lot of punch...
Folk Art Labels 25.
This set coordinates with the Spellbinders Label 25 dies...
but no worries if you don't have them yet...
it can also be used all on it's own.
And when I was trying to get ideas for this set I went over to Pinterest and spent the day...
because what else happens whenever you pop over for "just a minute"...
*giggle*...
and found a few pics to use for a little inspiration but this one was my favorite...


I love the colors...
the bold, bright reds, blues and greens...
so I used these for a little inspiration...


I stamped the label in SU's Night of Navy...
used the coordinating Spellbinders Label 25 to die cut...
and then colored in with some Copics in red, blue, yellow and green...
I really love that pop of bright turquoise.
Stamped that gorgeous sentiment from Folk Art Labels in Night of Navy as well.


Adhered it all to a white/turquoise/navy card base...
with a little red grosgrain ribbon and few clear gumdrops...
all done!

Next up I used the same color scheme but this time creating a small gift tag...


I took this element that's included in the set and stamped it again in Night of Navy...
colored it in with Copics and then stamped the "To" and "From" that's also a part of this set.
Seriously...
this little bitesize is packed!


A little red grosgrain ribbon and a button...
all adhered to a die cut tag...
all done!

And then I found this picture on Pinterest...


and decided to give a go with these colors...



I used that little element again to create a border and then colored in with various shades of Copics in orange...
and then used a white Signo to dot the little white dots in the center to help them "pop" just a bit more.


That gorgeous sentiment again because let's face it...
can you ever have too many birthday cards on hand?

Well...that's it for me again today but make sure to drop by and see what all the rest of the DT was able to come up with using this incredible little set.
And don't forget about Claire's Pin It to Win It contest she has going on Pinterest...get all the details HERE!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll be back tomorrow with even more goodness.
