Stockings

Hi and welcome to my blog. We have a wintry day here today so I made a Christmas card using this cute House Mouse stamp!

I stamped the image near the bottom of the card, used an exacto knife to cut across and in between the stockings. I used scissors to cut around the bottoms of the stockings. The image was colored using Tombow markers. The nails were colored with a silver metallic paint pen. I used word stickers for the saying. Blue card stock was adhered on the inside of the card. 

This is how the card looks when it is opened.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!

White Christmas

Hi and welcome to my blog. I have been making Christmas cards throughout the year so that I don't get in a panic to make cards right before the season. I want to show you a Christmas card I made using a House Mouse stamp that I have just used for the first time.

I used two embossing folders to add texture to the card. The white frame and the swirl tree dies are from Memory Box. I punched out two snowflakes and added clear Stickles glitter to them. The image was colored with alcohol markers, fussy cut and added to the card. I  made "marshmallows" by using small square pop dots and adding clear Stickles glitter to them too.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Lazy River

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my blog. I want to show you a card I made with this cute little House Mouse paddling down the Lazy River. With the summer heat this is a good way to cool off!

I found a background in my stash that I had made with Distress Oxide inks. It looks like a waterfall is behind the mouse. I stamped, colored and fussy cut the mouse and pop dotted him to the card. I used an exacto knife to cut around some of the flower petals so that I could pop them up. The frame is a Memory Box die. I added little paper flowers to the tree frame and used pink Liquid Pearls for the centers. The image was colored using alcohol markers.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Keep cool and have a mice day!                                                                                                     😉

Warming Up!

Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope that you are enjoying the Christmas season. It has been unusually cold here in the South for this time of year. I made a card with this cute little mousie warming IN a cup of cocoa! LOL! I have been enjoying my cups of cocoa lately.

I used the Gina Marie dotted die for the background and cut it using metallic blue card stock. I stamped the image, colored it with alcohol markers and fussy cut it. I used the stem of a flower die for the "steam" in the cup. The white bottom portion of the card was run through a snowflake die. The greenery is a Gina Marie die cut from green card stock. I splattered white acrylic paint over the greenery and cup for snow. I made "marshmallows" using 4 pop dots and adding white sparkle flocking to them. You can see one marshmallow in the cup and 3 on the greenery.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful and warm day!

A Very Mice Day

Hi and welcome to my blog. I have been recently playing with a new type of card called the "impossible card." This card is not impossible to make -- it is actually quite easy! You can see how to make it here. I made two while I had all my stuff out and I know I will be making more!

I used this cute little House Mouse image and colored it with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I stamped the saying and cut it out using a Spellbinders label die. 

Here is the other card I made using a die to pop up.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a blessed day!

A Mousie Christmas!

Hi and welcome to my blog. Each month I try to make at least three Christmas cards so that by Christmas they are all made. I have been doing this for three years now and boy has it helped with the stress near the season! I want to show you a card I just made using this cute House Mouse stamp!

The background is patterned paper. I cut a circle using the Spellbinders Small Circle die and placed a woodgrain panel that I made behind it. I then stamped the Merry Christmas saying form Inkadinkado. I stamped the stokings and paper pieced them using burlap patterned paper. They were fussy cut and pop dotted to the card. I used a Tim Holtz punch for the greenery and added the poinsettia.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!

A Winter Hello

Hi! I hope you are keeping warm. We are supposed to get a little snow by tomorrow morning! This little mousey is keeping warm by climbing into his coffee cup!

I made the frame for this image by using Martha Stewart's corner and border punches. I colored the image using a watercolor crayon and a few Distress inks to make a watercolor look. Punched snowflakes were added and I added clear stickles glitter to them. You can see it better in the picture below. I also applied the glitter to different dots on the patterned paper and image.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Stay warm and have a great day!
