...Welcome to the July release at waltzingmouse Stamps!!

ED - You're Lovely is selling out fast! thankfully we kinda thought that might happen, given the responses earlier in the week, so we re-ordered more right away earlier in the week!


Good evening (or early morning, sorry Australia and Malaysia!) and welcome to the July 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 8 new sets!!! If you are new to us, Welcome! We hope you find lots to inspire you!

We have 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!

Below is a link list of your dance partners for our waltz! 
Don't forget to leave comments on the DT posts as you pass by, we will draw a winner from an undisclosed DT member blog! The winner will receive a  free stamp set! Now, off you pop! Just don't forget to come back and see the new goodies!
















Store Information for the July release

Remember - FREE shipping for orders over £50 to Everywhere, yes, you're included! (approx $80.20 USD, $77.33 CAD, $74.86 AUD, €55.34 Euros, rate subject to change) and if you don't need £50 GBP worth of stamps today you might be interested to know that shipping one set to US costs around $4.35 USD. We ship our stamps out from our company base in Northern Ireland.

Please note that for this release, orders will begin to ship on Monday morning.

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!! So my apologies in advance if your stamps arrive before the shipping notice...You should receive an automatic order confirmation email from the store immediately upon ordering, so you will know that we have received your order. If you don't get an order confirmation email, please check your spam filter. If it's not in there, do pop me an email on claire.brennan1@ntlworld.com

Backordering: our store is set to allow folks to order backordered items. The upside is that orders containing backordered items will be fulfilled first when replenishment stock reaches the store, the downside is that orders containing backordered items will be held until we have all items in stock and ready to ship. However, we have a facility on the store that allows you to see if the item you want is in stock, so that you can decide whether to include that item in your order.

Customer Accounts: we have just launched the facility for customer accounts on the store - it is not a requirement to have one, we just thought some folks might like it. I will post in more detail about it in the next few days, but I just wanted to make you aware that the facility is now there and you will have the option of registering at the checkout. I do stress that we sure don't require it, it's mostly there for the benefit of folks who requested it and as a step towards someday being able to administer a reward scheme.

And here are the New goodies for July!!



You're Lovely Set size – 6 × 4 inches
A pretty set based on dress forms - a long formal style dress, good for weddings, formals/proms parties etc and smaller outfit style dress form.

A cracking cake set! Two sizes of cake, one perfect for a focal point on card size projects,  the other a teeny tiny cake, fabulous for mini tags etc!

Cameo To Go Set size – 6 × 4 inches
This is a neat little cameo set for folks who are in a hurry - the classically styled silhouettes are already made up - all you need to do is stamp. If you have a few seconds to spare you might add the scrolled mount, or not and you can finish in a hurry with the sentiments included in the set.

Cameo Creations Set size – 6 × 4 inches
A little set of frames and silhouettes for creating your own cameos. Use the little cross piece in combination with the ovals to produce an elegant vintage style background pattern. Drawn from life (mostly my wee folks) with subtle classic detail such as the vintage style collars on the junior portraits and the classically styled hair, these lovely little stamps recall the gentle art of silhouetting. An Ideal set for folks who like to footer around creating different combinations of cameos. The oval frames also work with various Spellbinder Classic Oval dies including the classic scalloped ovals and also the Big Scalloped ovals large.

 Ovals - Classic frames Set size – 8 × 6 inches
Dainty, pretty, classic oval frame stamps! One of the most popular shapes used by us cardmakers. This set of 16 stamps contains mostly oval frames - 7  complete frames, one half frame, 5 supporting motifs and two mini cameos. lots of potential here for not only frames, but patterns - with the two special cross shaped motifs that help to make gorgeous all over patterns when stamped with the ovals, see this example on my blog and also the card samples shown here.These ovals are proportioned to go with the Spellbinders Classic oval dies - If you have the Classic Ovals Small set you will find that the larger frames stamp well within the embossed area of the die cut, leaving a lovely broad border - if you have the Classic Ovals Large set, you might prefer not to emboss the die cuts as the images will extend beyond the embossed area of the die cut, but do fit within the cut area. You will also find that these frames will work with other Spellbinder sets such as the scalloped ovals sets, and they are particularly good with the Big Scalloped Ovals large.
