House Mouse Coffee Crazy Large Cup card


Using the House Mouse Coffee Crazy stamp, I stamped and colored the image. These fun mice just are so affectionate and fun! I then made a large cup with handle and steam coming out of it. I used Bazzill Diamond for the steam, silver glitter paper for the spoon, and brown cardstock for coffee bean die cuts which were added as well.

House Mouse Hummingbird take flight shaped card


Using the Hummingbird Take Flight House Mouse stamp, and my MISTI, I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo black ink. Coloring was with Copics: YG00, YG17,YG23,YG25,RV00,RV10,RV13,BG10,BG13,BG45,E00,E50,E33,Y11,YR15
Using the Spellbinders Circle dies, I cut out a round card so that the fold was not cut. I added pattern paper from my stash to match the turquoise of the bird and added the sentiment as well. The small delicate flowers are from a stamp convention but didn't have a name on them. Fun aren't they? Enjoy!

Hot, Hot, Hot House Mouse Card



 I am doing
the "stick it" or "decoupage" challenge again today. As before, I fussy cut each of the layers out and then gluing the images on top of each layer till there is a stack of them. This is the kit I purchased for decoupage from the official HouseMouse.com site. These images are hilarious today with the House Mouse breathing flames!! And the cards are really very professional looking after all is said and done.

I layered them together very precisely and used Beacons 3 in 1 adhesive which is thick and clear. I got a better layering using that glue and it didn't change the composition of the shiny paper like many other adhesives like the Art Glitter glue that I also like to use. The card was made with old DCWV paper and twine. The small flowers are from Recollections and Hobby Lobby, all from my stash in my room. Hope you enjoy the card.

House Mouse Recipe Decoupage card



 I decided that "stick it" could also mean "decoupage" which is gluing the images on top of each layer of images till there is a stack of them. Awaze back, I purchased the decoupage kit of many of the House Mouse images on the official HouseMouse.com site. They were on shiny paper and it really was fun to fussy cut all of them out. Though it took me a long time to get each card's images all cut with no white on the edge, it felt fulfilling to see them all done before I layered each with glue and to look more 3D. The images are always funny with the House Mice getting into their antics!! And the cards are really very professional looking after all is said and done.

I layered them together very precisely and used Beacons 3 in 1 adhesive which is thick and clear. I got a better layering using that glue and it didn't change the composition of the shiny paper like many like the Art Glitter glue that I also like to use. The card is with Prima Marketing pattern paper and May Arts lace. The small "thanks" die cut is from Altenew and done with shiny purple that I had in my stash. Hope you enjoy the card.
