Merry Mice Card with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and I am super excited to show you my first Christmas card of the year! How fun is it to add lots of snow to your projects or make them sparkle and shine! You know I love cute critters and today is no exception, we are featuring the cute images from Merry Mice and it’s coordinating dies.

As usual, I started with a white card base and cut an extra panel with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron. Next, I created my focal point for the snowy scene and die cut a window with the second largest of the Stitched Arched dies. I set this piece aside for another project.

For extra dimension, I ran the chevron panel again through the die cutting machine with the Dapper Diamonds embossing folder. Fun fact about this method is that you can reverse the panel and get a totally different look, and that is what I did today.

To create the sky and snow banks I used extra pieces of white card stock slightly bigger that the arched frame. I finally decided to use my Distress Mica Stain in the color Snow Flurries which has been in my stash for a while now. The result is a beautiful shiny sky, but you can also use any Distress Oxide inks that you have and a shimmer spray. I glued the snow banks and sky piece to the back of the diamond panel and added the whole to my card base.

After selecting the images from the adorable Merry Mice set, I started coloring with my Copics. I went with yellow, pink and blue shades which go well with the background.  

Next, I mounted the images into the scene with foam tape. The sentiment was taken from the Inside Greetings Holiday set (they also work great on the outside of a card!) and stamped onto a Brilliant Banner 4 piece with a blue ink from my stash. Lastly, I added a few Champagne Clear Jewels for that extra shimmer and shine.

I can’t wait to see all your wonderful Christmas cards! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
