Creek Bank Creations Faith Based Sentiment Card

Using the Stampendous House Mouse Nurse Mouse for another Get Well Card for a friend's brother this time. I used Creek Bank Creations Sentiment Stamp set called Come to Me. The House Mouse images were colored with copic sketch markers: C1, C3, C5, C7, C9, B01, BG11, BG10, R00, R24, R29, E00, E11, E33, E35, W2, W4. 

Happy New Year 2021! To get into the spirit of using items I haven't used either in a long time, or never used I chose these items: Dies: Pretty Pink Posh Celebrate die for the small scallop rectangle for the sentiment. The smallest circle dies as well as the largest one and using two together to make the little red circle. Stamps: The Creek Bank Creations Come to Me. Stickers: Mrs. Grossman's hearts, hot water bottle and ice pack. Hope all of you are staying safe and well!!

House Mouse Hugs Get Well Card

                           

Using the Stampendous House Mouse Nurse Mouse for a quick Get Well Card for a friend's mother who just had emergency surgery on New Years Eve!!! The turquoise paper is a gorgeous sparkly color to match the stethoscope for a big punch of color to lift her spirits! I included one of my most favorite Bible verses that reminds me to lean into God during troubling times: 

 Matthew 11: 28-29 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

The challenge for House Mouse this go round is for "New beginnings" but I feel with all of us still not hugging much less seeing each other as before Covid, sending many "snail mail hugs" as possible is my plan for this new year! Letting people know that they are thought of and loved! I let my friend know that I had sent this and it blessed her especially since she is unable to travel to see her mother in another state!! 

The House Mouse images were colored with copic sketch markers: C1, C3, C5, C7, C9, B01, BG11, BG10, R00, R24, R29, E00, E11, E33, E35, W2, W4.

House Mouse Doctor Card-

 Loved playing with this adorable image!! Copic Sketch markers were all great to make the different shades of grays with the C00, C1, C3, C5, C7, W1, W2. And for the stethoscope I used G000, and G00 with the C1, and the white was the C00. R29 and R27 for the Red Cross. B12 for the RX, and R000 for the Aspirin part. Lots of fun for coloring! Also, the "sick" mouse was E33, E35, E11, E21, E00, E000. But the "doctor" was meant to look older so I made him in the Grays: C1, C3, C5, C7. The small scallop from is by Pretty Pink Posh, and the larger A10 die frame is by Pinkfresh Studios. The red gingham paper was found at Hobby Lobby and is The Paper Studio. I have been hunting for it!! The ribbon was in my stash to represent "bandages" and is grosgrain ribbon.

Pinkfresh Slimline Fancy Frame Card

Here's my newest Pinkfresh Studio Full Bloom Stamp and matching Pinkfresh Studio Full Bloom die paired with their Ornate Oval frame die. I had the idea to make a slimline card and started with a piece of Neenah Bright White cardstock cut to 8 3/4" x 7" and blended Distress Oxide with a blender brush after folding it over using my We R Memory Keepers small score board.

Hugs House Mouse Card

With the House Mouse challenge of stitching, I tried my hand at running twine through the Spellbinder's Hemstitch oval die. I found this lovely pattern paper from Simple Stories that features quilting, and added the Hugs die doubled and off-set as to show a shadow. The image is the House Mouse Teddy Friend and the two of them look so dear! We all need a lot of hugs now a days but no one is seeing each other much less hugging one another, so this will go to someone that needs to feel one none-the-less. I added a bit of trim from my huge stash with red tape to tack it down. Hope you feel a big "hug" too from me to you!
