Mouse Party (House Mouse GDT Card) ...

Today sees the start of another challenge over on House Mouse & Friends Monday 

Challenge blog titled 'Let's have a Party'. 

I am a Guest designer for this challenge once again but sadly

my last!   Thoroughly enjoyed being part of the team this month and

the House Mouse crew have made me very welcome including my fellow GDT Suzi,

thank you all for this opportunity.

---

As soon as I saw the title for this challenge I knew I was going to use this cute

little image, which until now had remained un-inked!

---

Lots of crafting goodies on this creation, so here goes -

House Mouse Stamp set is called 'Chill Out' 

I have stamped this little mouse onto white cardstock and then cut

slits either side of the glass.  Stamped again onto acetate and then cut out leaving flaps either

side of the glass to put into the slits,  so it leaves a slightly rounded glass.

Stamp another little cutie to decoupage him, to add to the final effect!

Close up of the acetate glass!

Stripey backing paper, hat paper, Kraft card

Party ticket, no gate crashing now.

Hat pom pom, hat hand cut

Bunting & tag dies

'With love' sentiment

Buttons, seam binding, gems

Doily to represent the cake at the party!

Last of all, completely hand stitched and some glossy accents inside the acetate

for the fizzy bubbles.

We do hope you can join us for this challenge, really looking forward to seeing

your interpretations for this one!

Take care, happy crafting

Thanks a Bunch (House Mouse GDT Card) ...

So excited this is my first Guest Design Spot for House Mouse and I 

have thoroughly enjoyed using this new stamp set called

 'Thanks a Bunch' which was my prize for coming second

in a House Mouse Challenge last month.

The challenge today is a photo inspiration one, gorgeous colour combination don't you think?

I think this style of card is called a 'Joy' fold, which basically is a small card

inside a bigger one!

(This is the inside)

Spring Wishes ... (Joanna Sheen DT Card)

This month over on the Joanna Sheen Challenge blog the challenge is 'Easter/Spring'
so lets hope with the theme comes some lovely weather too!

I have used the wonderful Jane Shasky CD set full of delightful goodies.  I have chosen some beautiful

backing paper for this one.  Some white cardstock which has been embossed, both hand stitched

in contrasting cotton.  This beautiful stamp has been decoupaged for extra depth and coloured

with Promarkers.  The sentiment is CG, heart pin, seam binding and pearls from stash.
