House Mouse Love

Been playing with my little House Mouse stamps again. Love love love those little pictures!

These are being shipped off for a House Mouse swap I am participating in on SplitCoastStampers. So.... shhh, they are not due until Nov 2. :)

Smitten Kitten (and Mice)

When I crocheted this one, I so thought of how my mom used to knit whenever she sat on the couch.  I tried using real mini clothespins, but it got too bulky. So instead, I glossed the clothespins (hard to see in picture). Then I used the SU! Lattice Embossing Folder (retired now) to add more knit texture.

Recipe:

Colors: Tombow pens: 942, N89, 553, 800; SU! pens: Night of Navy, Creamy Caramel, Cherry Cobbler

House Mouse Stamps: “Cozy Mittens” and “I’m Smitten”

Paper: gray, brown, white

Accessories: 3D Galaxy Gloss, Lily Sugar ‘n Cream cotton yarn

Tools: SU! Lattice Embossing Folder, crochet hook, dauber, scissors, etc 

 Blowing Bubblegum Bubbles

I had fun layering all the punched colorful circles and making the bubblegum machine.

I used alcohol markers (Spectrum Noir, Copics, Touch, Letraset) 

to allow the images to shine through the colors so well.

Recipe: 

Colors: Alcohol based pens: Copics: RV10, BV02; Touch Pens: 23, 47, BG1, BG5, WG4, WG 0.5; Letraset Pantone 537-T; Spectrum Noir BP4; Promarker Blender. Water Based: Tombow 912

House Mouse Stamps: “Chew, Blow, Pop” and “Mice Wishes”

Paper: Creative Memories Brights, white

Tools:  ¾ “ and 1” punches, CM circle cutter

Feeling Good--- soon I hope...

Fun cards this past week- 

I wanted to use my new SU! Get Well Soup stamp and had this vision of making steam come off the bowl. To do this I used the new SU! Elegant Dots Embossing Folder in two different ways:

1) To get the "steam" dots on the pink paper- I inked Wisteria Wonder onto the raised dots side of the embossing folder and then twisted it when I stamped the dots onto the pink.

2) To get the white dots- I inked Wisteria Wonder onto the top side of the embossing folder and then ran white paper through it.

Get Well Soup

Inside the card, I put white paper and stamped Wisteria
hearts from SU! Perpetual Calendar.

Then for the bowl- I used a square make-up sponge and 

made angles with the sponging (see below)

My favorite is this one- with the little hearts added.

Thanks for looking!
