Thanksgiving Mice

  The leaves are starting to turn beautiful fall colours where I live and that means fall and Thanksgiving are just around the corner. I feel the leaves are changing early this year but it has inspired me to get my Thanksgiving cards started. White pumpkins are very popular where I live so I stepped out of my comfort zone and coloured the pumpkin on the "Harvest Mice" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps as a white pumpkin instead of the traditional orange for my first Thanksgiving card of the year. How cute are these three!?!

After stamping on to alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured with Copic markers, added polka dots to the dress with a white gel pen and added some clouds with a cloud die cut and Tumbled Glass Distress ink. Then, I cut the image to size to fit my 5.5" x 5.5" card base and cut the bottom with a stitched edge die. I set that aside and cut some card stock and polka dot paper from Simple Stories to add to the card base. I used the same stitched border die for the card stock to put behind the stamp to help it stand out better. I stamped and cut the sentiment and tucked it under the stamped image. Enamel dots finish off my card.

Harvest Mice!

Happy August!

August is all about Fall & Halloween over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps! I think Fall is my favourite time of the year because the colours are so pretty! Today I am using the rubber stamp called "Harvest Mice" paired with the "Happy Fall Y'all".

I started by stamping my image and sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next I used my Copic Sketch Markers and coloured the image to match with papers from the Doodlebug Pumpkin Spice 6x6 collection. Using my Brother Cut N Scan. I cut out around my image leaving a white border. Lots of basic shape layers on my card today, with all the edges inked in Vintage Photo Distress Ink. A bit of ribbon, a bow and an enamel dot finish off my card today!

Here's a side view to see the added dimension by popping up the image and sentiment with foam tape.

Copics Used:

Mice: C0, C1, C2, C4, C8/ E31, E33, E35, E37, E39

Outfits: BG45, BG49, BG53, BG57/ YR23, Y32, Y35

Harvest Mice!

Hi HH Fans!

Wow I can't believe Fall is right around the corner and the kids have gone back to school this week! Where did the summer go? It's my turn today to share a card with you over on the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs. The Design Team is doing a "Anything Goes" theme and I decided to use the High Hopes "Harvest Mice" stamp!

"Harvest Mice" is one of my favourite Fall stamps! I just love these cuties and the pumpkin they are leaning on! I chose papers form the Echo Park "Fall Is In the Air" 6x6 collection. I love the warm colours of this line! I added some ribbon, bow and a die cut banner as the accents on my card this time.

I also decorated the inside of my card and used the High Hopes sentiment called "If Friends Were Pumpkins".

Copics Used:

Mice: C1, C2, C3, C5/ E51, E53, E55

Pumpkin: YR12, YR14, YR16, YR18/ YG95, YG97

Happy Fall Y'all

The patterned paper is Doodlebug Designs.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Mice and Pumpkins!

Hello!

Happy Terrific Tuesday! Since we are using the theme Fall/ Halloween this month, I thought this set of mice next to a pumpkin was perfect to create with! They are just so darn cute! The stamp is called "Harvest Mice".

I am using paper from the Echo Park "Story of Fall" and "Dots and Stripes Fall" 6x6 collections. The sentiment is called "If Friends Were Pumpkins". I decided to paper piece the pumpkin and finished everything off with a button and a bow.

I decided to mask off the bottom part of the sentiment "If Friends Were Pumpkins" to "split" the sentiment so I could use part on the front and the rest inside my card.

Copics Used:

Mice: E31, E33, E35, R20, R11

Overalls, grass and stem: YG21, YG23, YG25, YG17

Dress: B000, B01, B02, C1

Shirts: YR21, YR24, YR27

Pumpkin: Paper pieced

Thanks for stopping by!

MichelleO here and this week I pulled out one really cute High Hope Stamp, Harvest Mice.

Coloring cute mice is so much fun - coloring yes... finding in the house no. LOL I colored with Copics, and matched up some older papers from My Minds Eye Out and About collection. Love that the papers have some bling sparkle to them. I sewed down all the layers

Close up of those cute mice...

Inside I used the same papers and added the sentiment  "Large Script Thank You" it is one of my favorite sentiments -
