Good morning and welcome to June at Waltzingmouse Stamps.
Now before I start to waffle, it's time for a little 'Waltz' down memory lane (LOL, I can hear you groaning but I've been dying to say that! lol) The DT ladies have been looking at some of the sets we have released during out first year here at WMS! I invite you to dance along. As Always there are a couple of prizes to be won so comment here and on the DT blogs if you'd like to be in with a chance! Two random winners will be chosen, one from the comments on this post and one from among the DT blogs! Good luck!

Sadly I have no new stamps for you today :( but the sort of good news is that this is due to the huge May release. If you've been here before you'll have heard me waffling about the unprecedented response that we had to the May event.
We released 8 new stamp sets and two templates to celebrate the 1st year of business and I truly had no idea how many folks were going to 'call in' at the store! My fabby supplier really pulled out all of the stops to supply me with the huge amount of extra sets I required to fill all of the orders. This greatly affected the scheduling of the June sets.
So I spent a huge amount of time packing and shipping this month and thinking about refining the way I run my business to take account of the increase of orders. I didn't want to come to the June release poorly prepared and so I have held over all of the June sets until the July release.
So the fun news is that July promises to be a very interesting month for stamp sets!!!!
Big News
In the meantime, we'll have a nice easy June here at WMS while I tell you about my big news!!
Loads of you may know, but some may not be aware that WMS is a product partner with none other than Spellbinders TM this year!!!
I cannot believe my luck! Anyone who has visited this blog more than once or twice will know what a Spellbinders junkie I am!!
Yep, you just know this means that there are more Spellbinder friendly stamps on the way...
Today I am adding to the store a few more die designs, some of which, you might want to keep an eye on for July...LOL!
Here's what's new to the store this month...others will follow...
All of these 4 die sets will be priced at £19.99 per set, and what I particularly love about this brand of die is that you can cut, emboss AND stencil with each of the dies in the set. AND you get 6-7 dies in a set, all co-ordinating, all stepped beautifully in size with endless possibilities for matting and producing custom frame designs...oh don't get me started, I could go on all day...lol!
Anyhow, you get the picture, these are my fave dies, I heartily recommend them if you have yet to try them and this is why I design many of my stamp sets to be compatible with them.
Big Scalloped Circles Sml -
Labels Two - you may want to remember these for July...lol
Labels Twelve
Labels Four - this is the die set that matches my Vintage Labels N0.4 Stamp set shown below. July will see another, fun set to co-ordinate with these dies!! Can't wait!! eek!
Housekeeping:
Today at WMS Store I am doing a spot of housekeeping, things like enabling backordering and the dreaded price adjustment to stamp sets! Ugh! So if you experience anything a little odd during your visit, I apologise, there will almost certainly be the odd blip. if you have any serious problem don't hesitate to pop me a note on:
claire.brennan1@ntlworld.com
Back in stock are:
Fancy Phrases
Labels 10
Sewing Box sets
Irish Blessings
Labels 4 Big Blooms
Pic Nic patterns
On Backorder are:
Labels 1
Afternoon Tea sentiments
Vintage labels 5
So that's all for today folks but check back later in the week, I am hoping to have news of a new venture for WMS...I think a few folks might already have seen a sneaky peeky detail on one of the DT blogs...
Thank you for stopping by, remember to comment for your chance to win!
Yay for you Claire... nesties are such a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI too love the Spellbinder labels - really need to add to my collection. Off to check out the DT samples on the hop.
ReplyDeleteThanks for running a a blog hop and giving us the chance to win while having fun.

You are so wicked with these hints! I have been waiting for June since all the Facebook hints in EARLY MAY, LOL!!! Wonderful blog hop, looks like I'm the first to waltz around! Congratulations on an amazing first year, with many more great years to come!
ReplyDeleteooo can't wait to see the new releases!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all your Spellbinder's friendly stamp sets. I'm totally addicted to Spellbinders and your stamp sets are becoming quite an addiction too! You are such an enabler! hehe!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the new sets, bring 'em on!
Hi Claire, I'm so glad you're having a month off!! I get to save some cash ready for July!!!! I'm off to check out your talented DT's blogs for some inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI'm sort of relieved there's no new stamps this month - means I can catch up on a couple of sets after payday!
ReplyDeleteI remember that ribbon border tutorial Claire - I loved it at the time and haven't used it since. I must try it again this week.
Super news about the spellbinders... good price too! It'll be great to buy the stamps and the matching dies all in one go. And... wonder what else you are planning for the store....??? Lovely blog waltz, gorgeous ideas... Bonnie has not woken up yet, so will have to check back on her this afternoon LOL!

I only have two WMS sets so far but knowing me and the fact that I too love the nesties, those 2 sets will get company before long.
ReplyDeleteEveline.
A waltz down memory lane is always a treat for it reminds us to not neglect our older sets. Have to give them all a fair shot, don't we?
ReplyDeleteYipee, Spellbinders nesties are fabulous and now we can order the ones that coordinate with your stamp sets. One stop shopping is the way to go.
Well now, Claire, I just peeked at a few of the blogs this AM, and am mightily impressed with all the great inspirations on your DT. Enforces the need to get a couple of sets that have been on my wishlist for a while.
ReplyDeleteOne of my all time absolute favorite stamps is the set with the wee cottage-Irish Blessings. In fact that set got a lot of ink this long weekend.
Great work, Great talent, Great company--you rock, Girlie!
I can hardly wait til July--I'm working on my spellbinder list already! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteThoroughly enjoyed the waltz. Just love all the stamp sets I have bought from you, and am sure I will love all the future sets I am sure to obtain. So glad you took on this venture.
ReplyDeleteSo fun about your partnership, Claire! Let's just say I CAN'T WAIT for JULY!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what new spellbinder matching stamps you will bring to us.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to own some of my own Waltzing stamp but I must wait until I get some money to spend. In the meantime I will continue to drool over the create inspirations that you and your DT share :)
I just love stamps that coordinate with the Nesties! I cannot wait for JULY!!!
ReplyDeleteWell you know I love my Spellbinders too!!! I can't wait to see the new images to match! Super exciting! I'm off to blog hop now. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your website and stamps!! I'm learning to love nesties too. Thanks for all your inspirations! :-)
ReplyDeleteCrap, you're making more to go with Labels 4? That's going to cost me... ;)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for July now!
Oh awesome sets with the spellbinders!
ReplyDeleteI just placed my first order with Waltzing Mouse and can't wait to get my stamps! I'm on my way to check out all the Design Team blogs...
ReplyDeleteSuch exciting news about Spellbinders and the Nesties! Can't wait to see what else is in store here at WMS!
ReplyDeleteI think some of your love of the 'ole nesties has rubbed off on all of us, Claire! I just got 4 new sets and have more in sight (thanks for the head's up for July!) Off to waltz with the DT. You guys rock!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally new to Waltzing Mouse, but glad I found you!!! Can't wait to hop around and see all the fabulous creations!
ReplyDeleteBRB!

The Nestie friendly stamps are definitely a favorite. I need to add more to my collection. Labels 2 looks fun! Great that you're getting a bit of a break this month. Enjoy it! May was huge and you deserve it.
ReplyDeletei love your spellbinders stamps, congrats on the partnership. can't wait till july!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your new creations!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being so busy in May. I am new to your company, but am excited to make my first order. I can't wait to get some of those nestie sets in my hands to make a fabulous impact on my card making!
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog and enjoy your stamps I have seen out there in blogland! Especially love the stamps you can use with the Spellbinders dies -great stuff : )Thanks for the chance to play and hope you have a wonderful day!!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing... oh dear, I really don't "need" any more stamps...
ReplyDeleteExciting Nestie news! I have been admiring your sets since your first release and every time you have to increase your prices I kick myself for not having purchased any yet. Someday I'll learn that biting the bullet and buying the stamps is better than bruised ankles! Hopefully I'll be able to swing it soon... In the meantime, I'll leave comments here there and everywhere hoping it's my lucky day!
ReplyDeleteI used my first spellbinder die on a card yesterday with the Big Blooms and I am hooked. So exciting to hear of your partnership - Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the blog hop Claire! Looking forward to seeing the next release.
ReplyDeleteI'm still enjoying all my May sets, so it's OK not to have new ones for June, LOL. Gives me a chance to recover. I'll look forward to more Nestie ones in July!
ReplyDeleteWell Claire - while I will miss the June release I know the July one will be well worth waiting for. It also gives me time to actually play with May's sets!
ReplyDeleteJust LOVE your stamps!! Hopefully I get courageous enough to convert the cost of the stamps and a few sets.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the blog hop!!!

I am excited you are doing something for Labels 2. I have them and they just never seem to get used!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for July, but may have to order again. Love the sets that I do have, and my Irish friend thinks they are fabby too!
ReplyDeleteCheers from Canada!
Love the Big Scalloped Circles dies. I have the Big Scalloped Rectangles and I just adore them. And I'm excited to hear that you'll have more stamps for the Labels Four!! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteExciting! I own labels two - can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve. My first WMS order was in May - I am enjoying my stamps!
