Goliath Christmas Mouse

Howdy - MichelleO here today and I am not ready for it to be time for Christmas. This year has been a blur! But that doesn't mean it isn't coming fast. So time to color up some Christmas cards. And this little image from High Hopes Stamps is just to cute and too perfect for a sweet card for a friend! This is Goliath Christmas Mouse - 

 

 

Colors and patterns are a little non traditional. But I just loved the soft red, and greys. And the circles worked well with me kie cutting out the little mouse! 

 

Goliath is colored with my Copics (colors below) and then added sparkle with Nuvo glitter pen. And Nuvo white for his tie on beard. He is just so cute! I cut him out with a circle and then matted with a stitch circle. My papers are from Sassafrass and I just adore the scallop edge that is made on the paper. All sewn down with a straight black thread. 

 

The sentiment is from High Hopes Stamps "Merry Christmas" and punches out perfectly with an EK Success ticket punch. 

Simple but sweet!

Santa....I Tried!

Welcome Everyone;

September is here and the HH Divas have an array of Fall, Halloween and Christmas cards as our daily inspiration here.

Poor Goliath, he has had a a bit of a tricky time of trying to explain to Santa, that his well intention plans of being good and helpful to him have gone a tad astray.  I have no doubt that Goliath Christmas Mouse (High Hopes Stamps) will get it all sorted out eventually.

As I had coloured Goliath with a gray and a warm gray I wasn't sure which one I should use, so I used both to create two CAS cards.  A start to my Christmas collection of cards.  I used different dies and twine also.

Howdy - MichelleO here today, how adorable is a little mouse in a Santa Suit? This is High Hopes Stamps "Goliath Christmas Mouse"  Too cute!

I colored with my Copics (colors below) and then cut out with a circle Die Cut and then a scalloped Die as a mat. The Pattern paper is hard to see, but has a glitter to all the candy canes, its from Fiskars.
I added a red dot ribbon around the bottom as a band with a pretty bow. Man it is hard to see in the photo but it is pretty on the card. The sentiment is so fun! "Santa... I tried!" from High Hopes Stamps. Another Clean and Simple card that makes me smile.

Happy Friday High Hopes Fans!  

Just 9 more days left till Christmas and if you still have some last minute cards to make this is a quick cute one that you can make with any Sizzix Flip it Die.

I used one of High Hopes older images, Goliath Christmas Mouse.

I colored the image with Prisma Colored Pencils (warm grey, cardinal red, yellow, black)

The patterned paper is from The Paper Studio.

I tied green grossgrain ribbon (Celebrate it) around the card and then glued bells on.

The inside sentiment is Magic of Christmas.

I hope you are enjoying the holiday season and aren't too stressed out with all the "stuff"!

Take some time to stamp and have fun...you'll be glad you did!

Howdy - MichelleO here today - How can you not love at little mouse dressed as Santa Claus? Goliath Christmas Mouse is too cute for words...

I colored with my Copics and then found a pattern paper from My Minds Eye with a border punch from Martha Stewart. Love this sweet little image.  I added Viva Decor white Pearl Pen for the beard and then Glitter pen for the hat. oh and I added some dots to the card for embellishment. The sentiment is a cute little "Small Merry Christmas Script" - perfect for your Christmas cards.  I sewed all the layers down.
