House Mouse Challenge HMFMC #209 *Rainbow Colours"

As promised,here is the colorful card for the

House Mouse Challenge Blog.

As it was my mother's birthday yesterday,

I was in need of a birthday card. I thought

this mouse with all the gifts (Gifts Galore)

was extremely fitting for the occasion.

As I take the card to her myself (not by post) I made this

easel card (they usually are a bit bulky for normal post

and heavy too). There are many tutorials around, so if

you never done one you can google it or take a look HERE.

The mouse image is colored with pencils

and the background is two different pieces of

design paper from a scrap block.

The sentiment is by Create with TLC and printed

with the computer and cut out with an oval die

and a matching scallop die. The felt flowers are 

fastened on the paper with the paper roses.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!

Hanukkah House Mouse

Today I wanted to play for the 

House Mouse Challenge Blog,

but now that I want to link my card, I notice

that I am to late, there is a new challange.

But not to worry, I share my card anyway and will

play in the new challeng too!

The challenge was to make a Christmas card, bu NO red or green.

As I am cellebrating Hanukkah (but also making

Christmas cards for my friends), I thought of  making

one for each holiday.

Yes, I can still add my cards:

I add it for the Anything goes challenge.

Yippee!

I have this cute House Mouse in a cup,called 

Morning Kick Start by Stampabilities and came up with

these fun cards.

Fist I show you how to fold the card:

This is the paper I used.

It is white on the backside (for writing) and

it measures 8 1/4 x 5,5 inch.

Fold it double,like you do for a normal card,

but have the brown inside.

Fold the top part half way back again.

Take your corner punch and punch top right

and bottom left (through all layers.

This is the finished base of your card.

And this is the finished card with the image of the

House Mouse. I added a snowfloke on the cup

with a gemstone in the middle. The Snowflake is by SU!.

The winter wishes sentiment is by Verve Stamps

and is a digital free download for a short period of time.

You can still find it HERE.

The banner on both cards are made with a long die

from Tim Holtz.

Here the Hanukkah version, where I decorated

the cup with a menorah stamp from Stampin'Up!.

The sentiment is from Create with TLC.

I decorated the card with some extra sticky pearls.

I love this cute mouse in it's cup.

Thank you so much for looking.

Have a ceative day!

Happy Hanukkah,
