House Mouse Thinking of You Card


House-Mouse stamps are the cutest. I used this "We Heart You" stamp that comes with the sentiment to make a thinking of you card. I'm thinking of switching out the sentiment to make this a Valentine's Day card too.

This is a simple card to make since it fills up the card and you don't have to worry about the layout. The image was stamped with Onyx Black VersaFine ink and colored with Prisma Colored Pencils. Adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives were used to stick things down and to pop them up.

You can see the House-Mouse collection at Spellbinders HERE

A Winter Hello


Today I have an all-occasion winter card that can be for Christmas, birthday, thank you, or a card just to say hi.

To make my card, I used the Snowman Etched Dies from Spellbinders

The small snowman, scarf and hat band were die cut three times from white glitter cardstock from Printworks Specialty paper. The scarves and hat bands were sponged with different colors of Distress Inks.
Since this glitter paper is smooth, it can be stamped on and run through your printer. The faces were stamped using Onyx Black VersaFine Ink and the nose was colored using an orange alcohol marker, I used the ones from Spectrum Noir. 
The hats were die cut from black glitter paper.

The leaves were die cut from gold foil cardstock.
To make the background, a white cardstock panel was embossed using the Autumn Serenade 3D Embossing Folder and it was glued to a top folding red card.
The Sentiment was made using the Snowflake Wishes Clear Stamp & Die Set ( sale $6.75 off ), "believe" was die cut from gold foil cardstock and black cardstock. The gold was layered on top of the black, slightly askew.

Fun Fold Christmas Card


Today I have a fun fold Card using dies and decorative paper from Rubbernecker Stamps and all of the adhesives used are from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.  To make my card, I cut a sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" periwinkle cardstock diagonally. The cardstock was then scored to create the fold. Next a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of decorative paper paper was then cut diagonally (this will make two cards) and one piece was taped to the bottom fold using TAPE RUNNER.


Snow fakes were die-cut from white cardstock and glued to the top fold of the card using the DUAL TIP. The snowflakes that were hanging over the edge were cut off.


To make the frame, white cardstock was die-cut using a scalloped rectangle and and a stitched rectangle that's slightly smaller was cut from periwinkle cardstock and attached using RUNNER


The frame was centered and glued to the left top fold of the card, using the DUAL TIP.  Believe was die-cut from the same carstock colors, glued together using the DUAL TIP. Hearts were placed aroud the sentiment using the HEARTS RUNNER and crystal micro fine glitter was sprinkled on.

Happy Birthday Card


Today I have a clean and simple birthday card that's fun to make. I used a Happy die that cuts and leaves the letters attached to the card.


Next, strips of colored cardstock were die-cut with the Happy die and the letters were cut off of the strip it was attached to.


The colored letters were glued to the letters on the card using Dual Tip Pen. Two thin strips were cut from black cardstock and glued above and below the letters to make them pop.


Birthday was stamped on a strip of blue cardstock with black ink and layered onto a strip of green cardstock using the E-Z Strips.


Foam strips were placed on the back of the sentiment and popped up diagonally below the Happy.


Stars were place on the card as shown and purple, pink and blue glitters were sprinkled on the stars.
