...New stamps for October

ED-Snowbear - I am sorry the 2011 ornaments don't work with the 2010 dies, I am sorry. They were specifically designed for this years dies, the 2011's.

Good evening (or early morning, sorry Australia and Malaysia!) and welcome to the October release at Waltzingmouse Stamps!

If you are new to us, we design and produce clear stamps made from the best quality photopolymer (that's the good stuff) and today we are releasing 6 new sets!!! Welcome! We hope you find lots of creative inspiration!

There is a Design Team Blog Waltz happening right now where you can see some gorgeous examples of what you can do with the new stamps shown below, and we've been previewing for several days already so it's worth a scroll back to see what's new!

Today the ladies will be showing the final sets,  Candy Jar Christmas and Candy Jar Christmas - Fillers, be sure to visit them all and Don't forget to comment, there are prizes!

The winner will be announced on the 18th here on my blog.

And here are the New goodies for October

Please note ladies that I have slightly changed the way I display the drawings so that you can see all images at the correct angle. I used to display the sets as they were laid out on the carrier sheet, and given that I love to stuff as many stamps into a set as I can, some images appeared at odd angles or even upside down!! From now on everything will be shown right side up, so it will not always be obvious at first glance what size a set is. Please refer to the descriptions as the size is noted there.



2011 Holiday Ornaments - Nestie Friendly
Set size: 6 × 8 inches

A set of ornaments designed specifically to work with the 2011 Heirloom Ornaments Die templates from Spellbinders!


The designs on these ornaments also co-ordinate with the Santa's coming to Town and the Nordic Winter sets. Excellent for making actual ornaments, or tags or dressing up cards and scrapbook pages in festive style! The largest ornament is approx 3.3 inches square and the smallest ornament is approx 1.2 by 1 inch at the widest points. 19 stamps in total.

Santa's coming to Town
Set size: 6 × 4 inches

The Jolly Elf in the red suit is on his way! We couldn't resist adding a little vintage styling to this most iconic of Christmas images. Perfect for adding a little dash of antique to your Christmas preparations. 3 main images, including a delightful cameo of the Big guy himself, a beautifully detailed ornament (which happens to fit perfectly into one of this years 2011 Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments die templates) and a stylish snowflake, great for focal points or even stamped repeatedly as a background. 6 fun sentiments complete the set.

The snowflake stamp measures 1.69 inches tall by 1.4 inches wide. The 'No peeking' sentiment measures 1.9 inches wide by 0.6 inches tall.

Candy Jar Christmas
Set size:6 × 8 inches



I absolutely could not have Christmas without Mrs Santa Claus. I don't know if she's big in your house, but we've even had letters from her on occasion. Traditionally (in my house anyhow) Mrs Claus runs the confectionary side of things up North and can be found in the kitchen making candy canes, gingerbread cookies and all of those associated goodies. This Candy jar Christmas set pays homage to her skills. Featuring a ready filled jar of peppermint candy, this large set has all manner of stamps to help you sugar up your Christmas prep. Build a wish list, stamp approval, sweeten your tags and cards with peppermint magic! Mrs Claus herself is there too, a tasteful cameo of the great lady, styled to match Mr Claus in the Santa's coming to Town set.

The circular sentiments are easily punched out with a 1.5 inch punch or a similar sized circle die.
A companion set to Candy Jar Fillers, if 'sweet' is your thing, you can go candy crazy this year!

In the bottom left of the graphic, you can see how easy it is to build a notebook style image - use it with the sentiments to make lists, Recipe, wish list, things to do....whatever tickles...

The filled jar measures just under 2 inches wide by just under 3 inches tall. The 'sweet shoppe' sentiment measures 2.18 inches wide by just under a third of an inch tall..

Candy Jar Christmas
Set size:6 × 8 inches

A companion set to Candy Jar Christmas!


Of course one jar was never going to be enough for me...I have a sweet tooth! So, this toothsome set contains one empty jar and enough fillers to stock a small store, peppermint candy sticks, canes, balls and gingerbread men! A official Mrs Santa Claus label, a bow, two styles of jar lid, 10 sentiments and 4 little supporting goodies! Fill 'em up!

This set also features a little line stamp - you can see it there on the bottom - it just looks like a curved line, but this handy doodad, is just the finish you need, should you wish your jar to be left open, for example if you decide to stamp the oversized candy canes in the jar, see our examples, and my blog for directions with this.

The jar plus lid measures around just under 2 inches wide by just under 3 inches tall when stamped. The single gingerbread man is just over 1.5 inches tall by just under an inch wide

Nordic Winter
Set size:6 × 8 inches

A Nordic themed stamp set. Are you a fan of Scandinavian design? I am, I love the simple shapes, clean cut images, and I especially love them in knitted items. We took extra care to ensure that when you stamp with this set, you will achieve a realistic knitted texture, each tiny 'stitch' is shaped to recreate that home knit feeling. A great set for experimenting with, stamping borders in various combinations and colours and creating your own borders with one of the 8 accompanying motif stamps. Or simply use one of the motifs stamped simply to quickly create striking, minimal tags and cards. The borders in this set are extra long as usual, the shortest being 6.29 inches long. easily long enough to stamp a full length border on a standard (US 4.25x5.5inch) card without having to repeat.

The double heart border measures 6.29 inches wide by 0.62 inches tall. The single reindeer is 0.93 inches square.

Seasonal Remedies
Set size:6 × 8 inches


A Christmas set of labels with a difference. Well loved Holiday sentiments styled with a vintage flavour, these labels have a typographic style most commonly associated with olde-worlde product labels. Suitable for all manner of Christmas gifts, these labels supply just the right amount of reverent humour to your Christmas gift giving.

This is a companion set to our hugely popular Rescue Remedies, and it contains 6 different label shapes, two square, which work with various Spellbinder square dies (or are very simply trimmed out with a ruler/gillotine) One rectangular label which co-ordinates with the Largest die in Small Labels set (also Spellbinders) One label which is good with a Spellbinders Labels 4 die. One oval label which fits inside the rectangular stamp, or will work with varios Spellbinders ovals, and two smaller labels which are roughly rectangular and will work with labels/tags of all kinds. £ supporting sentiments and 2 small decorative motifs complete this large set.

The Joy label measures 2.17 inches square. The crown measures 0.8 inches wide by just under a half inch tall.

Shipping notices for orders placed at release times will go out after all packing and shipping is done!! My priority is to get the stamps out ASAP during release times and it could be that your shipping note may be delayed by up to 4-5 days!!
