happy WCMD - part II

Good morning (it's now officially morning for me!  LOL!)

I have more to share!!  Post a comment on this post or the one below to let us know what you are doing to celebrate WCMD and what you think of our new products.  We will definitely have some prizes!

To view and purchase all of our new clear stamp sets and new 4-bar notecards, please click here.

I made this first card in honour of our 1-year anniversary party at the shop today! I love the little party flags!  To make them, I used one of the stamps on our new Fancy Borders set, snipped off the circles at the bottom and then just snip, snipped away! It was super speedy. I had some scraps of our new Madeira notes (can you believe I actually cut a few? Gasp!)  and I think they make lovely backgrounds!

This next card features an idea I have had in my head for a while using our Clear Stickers.  These stickers offer so many creative possibilities.  I used my 1" Paper Shaper punch (they punch so well!) to punch a circle through one of our scallop circle clear stickers.  I messed up a few before realizing that if I marked the center of the sticker, I could make the perfect punch every time. 

I then punched a 1 1/8" circle from a scrap of our new Madeira 4-bar notes.  and stamped the letter 'a' for Annabelle in the center.  I then attached this to the sticker and dropped it in ultrafine glitter to make the scallop sparkly!  So easy, so sparkly, so fun!

This project was super easy!  Will post directions later... gotta run to the shop in a minute.  This is to keep track of my Volleyball notes (must write small but fits in my fleece pocket).

The rest of these fabulous cards were designed by Jennifer Pebbles using our new Clear Stamps and 4-bar notecards.  Enjoy!!

and another...

and another...

and one more!

OMG! These are too too cute! Now I'm wanting to get them all!!

[Tina]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new stuff! It has been very fun checking the blog each day for the teasers! Thank you for giving those of us who don't live by the store a chance to share in the fun. Would LOVE to win! Thank you, Tina

[Cindy Keery]

To celebrate WCMD I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner! So, I probably won't get any stamping in today, but you never know. I absolutely love your cupcake stand stamp - adorable!!

Cindy

I am SO excited that A Muse is beginning to offer clear stamps. I was a die hard wood mounted stamper for over a decade. A couple of years ago I went to unmounted red rubber. Now I am buying almost exclusively clear stamps. I enjoy stamping so much with them and it has increased my creativity because positioning is no longer an issue. Way to go, A Muse!!!! (I also visited your store shortly after it opened and was thrilled to meet the real life A Muse crew)!

[Susie]

I *LOVE* all of the clear stamp sets AND the new note cards! I will be stamping all day today in honor of WCMD. Thanks for all of your inspiration!

[Jen]

Linda these are all so beautiful. Your stamps just keep getting better and better! I can't wait to get my hands on the fancy borders set!
I have family visiting but hope to catch a few minutes to make a card or two.
Happy anniversary!
Jen

We are celebrating my son's 11th birthday today so cardmaking will have to wait for another day. Your fun cards have given me the bug to stamp so I'll probably break out my 'stuff' tomorrow instead of today. : ) I love the new card sets and the clear stamps!!! I've added them to my wish list.

[Paula R]

Hubby is away for the weekend so I'm stamping, stamping, stamping! Love the new products.

[~liz]

Having a panic attack (for real =D) because I can't get any carding done and it IS WCMD

[Nancy Gagnon]

Thanks Linda and the A Muse crew for sharing in the fun with all of us who can't get to the shop. Believe me, if I lived in the area, I would be there before the doors opened!! :) I would like to celebrate today by getting to much needed stamping in. I haven't been able to do that as much as would like lately. :( I said this in my previous post, but I absolutely LOVE the new products & plan on purchasing a couple of clear sets & definately some notes!!! Have a great day everyone!!

[june g]

Kim

[pyng]

These notecard patterns are so cool! I'm hoping to make some holiday cards (maybe start w/ Halloween and work my way to Christmas/Chanukah). I did have to enjoy the day -- it's still summer here on the east coast!

[jean]

I've been busy making cards using the Rock Star set. I love him so much. I hope everyone had a great creative day.

[Amy]

I love the new clear stamp sets. I want them all now.

As for WCMD, I was teaching a card demo at the craft store that I work at in the Boston area. Tomorrow some crafty ladies and I will be hunting down some more supplies then having a little card party of our own. It's my dream weekend, crafting all the time.

[Kari]

The clear stamps are Sooooo cute! I'm going to have to get those. I've spent the morning getting my area cleared up so I can spend my evening making cards. My kids are going to oodles of birthday parties, so I'm going to have a new stash of cards ready to grab on the go.

[kIm Faucher]

Its so fun reading what we will all be doing ...
I will be getting a head start on my holiday cards and trying out some new awesome chalelnges ont he various online sites..

[Susan C. in NY]

Cute clear stamps. I would have loved to make some cards today, but it was family day so we were out all day. Though we have to make the most of this great weather--it was 85 today in the northeast US--that's not going to last much longer. :-) Maybe I'll squeeze in a little stamping tonight before bed. Hope everyone else had a fun WCMD!

[Alison]

Just love the new stamps - great work! To celebrate WCMD, I'm hoping to do some stamping!

Thanks,

Alison

[Shawn K.]

Love the new sets! Wow! I'm celebrating the day in a very non-celebratory way..."studying for a test." Ack! I wish I could actually enjoy the day, but my regular life has intruded.

Happy Day!

Shawn K.

[Bonnie Sharp]

I am celebrating the day by FINALLY organizing my stamp/scrap room! It was in a perpetual mess and I decided that if that room was ever going to be organized, what better day to start anew than WCMD! (and I am STILL at it hahaha!!) Love the stamps - I now have a new spot for them!!

[Barb Nelson]

LOVE, love, love the new 4-bar notecards!! What a gorgeous look. And I'm loving the polka-dotted alphabet.....the scrapper in me is squealing with delight!!

As for WCMD - I have a 3 yo running a fever of 104 so that has curtailed any plans I had......shucks.

[Cookie]

To celebrate WCMD I am surfing all my favorite sites including this one for inspiration and get me geared up for the holidays and making lots and lots of cards! As far as the new sets go I love the Whats Cookin and Coffee Break! So cute!! Thanks :)

[Krista L]

Wow, I'm in love. I can see the possibilities already.......I wish I stamped today, but sorry to say I had to work. Have to support the habit somehow. Someday I have to get to Seattle to check you guys out personally. For all you Canadians up here, enjoy your turkey dinners.

[Sandra]

Just got back from out of town. Just saw the new clear stamps and they are wonderful! To celebrate what's left of WCMD I am just cruising lots of my favorite online stamp stores and compiling a wish list.

[Rachel]

I love the new clear sets! I can't wait to order the baby set and animal set! :)

[Jennifer S.]

Love the new sets. I can't wait to get the Birthday Builder one. The store looked great today. I said it earlier, but my daughter loves your husband's cupcakes. Especially the frosting. The make-n-take was very cute. We are making them for party favors later this month. Thanks for a fun day!!

[Michelle M]

For WCMD I had some friends over to look at stamps and catalogs and place orders for what we want!! I love your new sets. The new cards are wonderful too.

[amandavp]

I'm making cards today! I love all the new amuse stamps...now I need to decide which ones to get. Thanks for all of your stunning inspiration. I visit your blog daily, or twice daily and it always amazes me.

[Amy G.]

I LOVE that amuse makes the examples simple cards. They are always FANTASTIC!! ALWAYS. I suck big time at the simple ones, and I love that I can always come here and find inspiration.

[Jody L.]

Very cute, quite a few that I just have to have.

oops I posted twice because I was looking for the comments at the bottom of the page instead of at the top! Sorry

[nicolem]

For cryin out loud I'm dying. I live in Seattle and I am here in Hawaii wishing I was at the A Muse store today!! I am having a hard time being on vacation Ms Pebbles did an awesome job with the new notes and clear sets - wowee!

[s.patel]

had to take some breaks from school work to make some cards!

[Susannk]

Wow. Cool new stuff. Love all the new notecards...so fun. Can't wait to see them up close and personal.

[Kim]

The new cards look so cute! I took BOTH of Geeta's classes yesterday to celebrate WCMD!

[Katie]

I made some Halloween cards. I like the tag set and the Party set.

[Aimee]

These cards with all the new products look like they could be so fun to play with... I celebrated the day by going shoping first then coming home and playing with all my new cool stamps and tools.

[Ying]

=) Happy belated WCMD!

I went to stamp camp in Forest Hills, NY out in Queens with Linda, SU demonstrator.

I found out I was a rogue. Made 4 of my own cards with all the goodies she had on hand instead of following the 4 examples she had at each station. Basic entry fee was $25 fo a pre-cut pack of cardstock and envelopes.

Love the idea of dry-embossing. A lot easier on card stock than on practice paper.

I moved to New York from so I'm sad that I missed the anniversary sale. LOL Don't know why it took me so long to create. I lived there my whole life!

Eyeing the Cancer kits especially the butterflies.

Wish everyone a happy Autumn!

Ying

[Edie]

SO clever!
I love to see these used in so many cute ways!
Going to be buying something VERY soon! :)
As always, thanks for the inspiration!!

[Melissa]

The new cards are such cool patterns, I love them all. I'm making cards for WCMD, using some things that I've had in my stash. Thanks for the inspiration.

[Alana]

I SO wanted to make it to the store for WCMD! I love the new clear sets...lots of cute ones! I had a baby shower yesterday and didn't get a lot of stamping time, but I was able to squeeze in making a birthday card for my best friend!

[Stephanie]

I got together with some freinds and we were card making (and scrapbooking) for the day! We started Friday night but with much talking and giggling I only ended up making 1 card in 5 hours! lol!!

[Lynne]

I made business cards!
They are still cards, right?!

[Cindy Vernon]

The new stuff is so cute. I can't wait to get them all.

[Monika/buzsy]

I love the notecards... the colors and the prints are just amazing! I just made my first card using Amuse stamps today. :o) TFS!

[Ingrid]

I missed WCMD but am still making cards for St. Judes. Love the idea - and I ma having such fun making these cards.

[Rhiannon]

I was able to get a few cards made on Friday, as Saturday was a blur of activity! Of course the morning was started perfectly in Seattle :) Thanks!!

[Jodie]

Had a blast on World Card Making Day!! Loved seeing all the great designs here too!

[Denny]

The "what's cooking" card is so cute! Love the towel.
