Love House Mouse Donut and Coffee



Here is my latest House Mouse card that I did recently with the House Mouse Donut Day Rubber stamp. I used my Copics to color and the Creek Bank Creations Shake & Rattle Cup Cake to decorate the donut with the hearts from the filling mix. I love how feminine and adorable it came out. It was perfect to go to one of my closest friends who I love! The papers are from My Minds Eye 6x6 pad of paper and the dies are from Spellbinders circle dies used with my Platinum 6 machine.

Reverse Confetti Happy Day Orange Blossoms Card


When I saw the release of the Reverse Confetti Orange Blossom stamps, I knew I wanted it! I made this card to play along with their #SYSChallenge for July 2021. I colored the images with Copic Sketch Markers: RV00,RV21,RV23,RV25(DOTS);Y06,Y13,YG21,YG23. I added the dots and arranged the orange blossoms with the Happy Confetti Cuts Layered die after coloring the letters with the markers as well. The birdies are from the Reverse Confetti Christmas Bear set. The background die is Outlined Frame Cover Panel Confetti Cuts. I used Ranger Ink's Distress Oxides in Mustard Seed, Lemonade Squeeze, and Kitsch Flamingo to mimic a baby girl card for the Stock Your Stash July Challenge of Oh, Baby. Do you like the little birdies too? That Christmas Bear set is on clearance for $5 so a greater deal than ever!! My card was inspired by CandiCards! Thanks Candice!

House Mouse Valentine Send it Clear Gatefold Card




                                                                      Fully Opened
                                                                 Close up of the inside 
                                                          

I used a Clear Scraps Send it Clear Heart card that has a gatefold slot on the front for today's card! The House Mouse is balancing those Sweethearts candies and is so adorable and fun to color with all the different shades pastel shades! I then went over each with the Copic 0 so as to mimic the chalk like look of the actual candies. I loved how they turned out! Fussy cutting the colored image and adhering it to the heart shaped doily which were both glued to the inside of the card! I added White Gel pen stitch marks around the sides and the heart shape to show some dimension. I kept it clean for the simple and glue dotted a Love acrylic to the front flap. Viola'! Hope you enjoy it!

Graphic 45 Nature's Sketchbook Layout




 Using papers from the Graphic 45 Nature's Sketchbook, I started fussy cutting and continued to go through 2 sheets and then found Beatriz Farquhar-Guzman's layouts on Pinterest. Tons of fussy cutting and pop dots. These pics were of our day spent at the Fort West Martello in Key West right on the ocean. Enjoy!
