Merry Christmouse

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a winter card featuring stamps and a fun die from Sunny Studio Stamps.  

I'm a sucker for snowmen and when I saw the little snow mouse in the Merry Mice Stamps I knew I had to have this stamp set.  The little mice in this set are so adorable!  I colored the images with copics and used my ScanNCut to diecut them.  I used a black glaze pen on the eyes and buttons of the snow mouse.  I used the Sliding Window Die to create my card.  I sponged distress inks on the front panel and then adhered a diecut snowbank.

I adhered the trees directly to the panel and then used foam tape to adhere the snow mouse and gift.  I also added a snowflake with a pearl to the front of the card.  The magic, of course, is when you slide the panel open ... and you have a little mouse peeking over the edge of the card!

So fun and cute!  Once you get the hang of how the slider works, the card is really easy to create.  I'm sure you'll be seeing more of these sliders in the future!   

Copics Used:

Snow Mouse - BG20, BG70

Cheese - Y38, Y19, Y15, Y13; E25

Bow - R59, R37, R35

 
Thanks for stopping by!

Keeping Christmas Inspiration Hop

Welcome to the Keeping Christmas Inspiration Hop!  If you are looking for some inspiration for Christmas projects, you have come to the right place.  Our team does a monthly Keeping Christmas Inspiration Hop! We will be sharing Christmas creations on the 25th of each month.

The whole idea is to have some Christmas cards and projects in our stash all ready to go for December 2019!

I used the Tag Topper Dies - Traditional by Sunny Studio Stamps to cut the tags from Bristol card.  I sponged Broken China Distress Oxide Ink on the tags and then spattered white acrylic paint that I had thinned out with water.  The sweet images and sentiments are from the Gleeful Reindeer Stamps.  I stamped the images on Neenah cardstock, colored them with copics, and then diecut them using the coordinating dies.  Once the tags were dry, I stamped the sentiments directly onto the tags.  I adhered the trees and reindeer with foam tape for dimension.  I added some red ribbon, silver cording, and glittered jinglebells to the tags to finish them off.   

Be sure to hop along to visit each of the blogs.  There's tons of inspiration and ideas to get your creative juices flowing!
