Hi friends, thanks for joining me today.  I have some Spellbinders New House Mouse Stamps to share with you that were released on December 10th.   As I shared in my last post, I’m doing a little catching up this week, so I’m combining two stamps and two different card designs in today’s post.  The House Mouse Stamps have been around forever, and I love coloring their adorable little faces and seeing what kind of mischief they are getting into, LOL.  The two new stamps I’m using today are from the House-Mouse Sweet Moments Collection you can see here.

Today’s are no different.  We have a wine-swilling Mudpie sitting on a grape leaf enjoying a sip and sweet Muzzy all wrapped in his fuzzy scarf wishing spring would arrive. I’m with him, bring on spring, LOL.

I used my copic markers for these little guys and stamped them with the copic friendly; Hero Arts Intense Black Ink  using my Misti so I could stamp the image numerous times to get it nice and black.

Mouse:  E31, E33, E34, E57  Face:  E50,E51, R20, E93.  Flower & Grapes:  V12, V15, V17, Scarf:  RV17, RV34, Ground:  N0, N1, N2, N3, N4  Grape Leaves:  G21, G24,

 

Spellbinders New House Mouse Stamps Card #1

Close to my heart, this little dude likes red wine too, haha…..I’m using designer paper on both of today’s cards.  While I was cleaning my studio last week, I knocked over a huge box of designer paper, and thought to myself – why aren’t I using this?  Duh……you may be seeing more designer paper in the future, I’m sure you have a huge stash of it too, and they keep making more, so let’s get busy and recycle some of this shall we, LOL.

Both of the Design Papers I used today are  probably retired, but Spellbinders is now carrying PAPER ROSE from Australia, and they have many beautiful papers that would work for these cards.

Start by stamping the mouse with Hero Arts Intense Black Ink onto Hammermill white cardstock 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ and color with copic markers.

Next, use the Essential Arches dies from Spellbinders to cut out the image, and then a larger one in purple to matte it.  I used Bazzill cardstock, Wild Pansy #300908 for this card.

Then, create a A2 sized top folding white card base, 4-1/4″ x 11″, score and fold at 5-1/2″.  To that, attach a piece of Craft Consortium Craft Papers Watercolours, cut 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″.

Finally, cut a 3/4″ x 4-1/4″ strip of the purple for across the top of the card.  Glue the arch art panel to the arch matte, then glue the art piece to the cross strip.  Finally, attach all of this to the top of the card using foam tape to add dimension.

Embellish with a piece of gold twine, wrapped around the card front and tied into a bow.

Spellbinders New House Mouse Stamps – Card #2

Remember back a bazzion years ago when we used to tear the edges of our cards.  You know like 30 years ago before die cutting machines and dies?  haha, yep, I’m that old.  Well it’s back….and I had so much fun doing it.  I was cruising through Pinterest last week during my eye patch days, and saw that a few people where doing it again.  As I finished coloring this little guy, I already had the designer paper picked out, and I thought a good tear (or two), would create the separation I needed from the art piece and the patterned paper.  I liked it so much I  flipped the scraps I tore off around and added a second layer.

Start with a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Hammermill white cardstock and stamp the house mouse image with the Hero Arts Intense Black ink.

Next, color with the copic markers, and then tear across the top and bottom.

Then, flip the torn discard pieces around, and glue them onto the back of the art piece to create the second layer of torn paper.

Finally, create a white A2 sized card base, 4-1/4″ x 11″, score and fold at 5-1/2″.  Over that, attach a piece of Moda Scrap – Fly & Scrap Blue and Purple patterned paper cut to 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″.  dry fit the art piece over the card front in the Misti to line up the sentiment stamp and stamp it in black.  Tie some gold rope around the bottom of the art piece before attaching it to the center of the card front with foam tape.
