House Mouse Monday Challenge #30

This challenge from the House Mouse Challenge Blogspot was to make a shaped card....well, in all honesty, I don't think I have ever made a shaped card! After looking at some of my House Mouse stamps, this is the one that made an idea pop into my head. I was pretty happy with how the card turned out!

Black paper is from PaperTreyInk. The clear acetate is from Cornish Heritage Farms. Believe me, this is tough stuff. I had a hard time punching out the openings with my punch! The stamps, besides the House Mouse one, are from Stampin' Up. Hello and the stars are Stampin' Up RubOns. The "cord" was made by rubbing some Elmers School Glue on a piece of black cord and wrapping it around a pencil until it was dry. The phone receiver was stamped with Stampibilities White Emboss Ink and then embossed with Stampin' Up clear. I cut the Mouse off the phone's receiver and then stamped it again in brown. I colored the mouse with copics and cut him our and stuck him back on the receiver.

Thanks for checking in!

Card for House Mouse Challenge #29

This was a fun card I made for the House Mouse Challenge #29. The paper was Memory Box "Sprout." I stamped my mouse with Memento Tuxedo Black and then colored him with copics. You can't really tell in the picture, but I used Crystal Effects to make the little water drops on the flowers. I used Spellbinders Nestibilities to cut the circles. To finish it off, I punched out the corner piece and added the bow and the robins eggs.

Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #27

I am a House Mouse Stamp Collector to some extent....not a fanatic, but I love the cute little guys! Taylor's Cupcake Challenge http://tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com/ looked like the perfect opportunity to use my "Birthday Cupcake" stamp. The metallic blue paper was from Paper & More. The patterned paper is from Pocket full of Posies collection. House Mouse stamp is Stampa Rosa and Wish is from Inque Boutique "Sugar Shoppe." I punched the scalloped edge circle out with a Stampin' Up punch and the other circle with a Marvy punch. I colored the stamp with my Copics and used a bit of crystal Stickles for sparkle.
