This is an adorable card, I made it at the weekend at the crop. Julia had the Merry Mice set and I decided that I needed to play with it.

I stamped him in archival basic black and then coloured him in with markers – garden green, cherry cobbler, smoky slate and blushing bride in the ears – the ears were too bright so I used a blender pen to soften them. I then found a sweater pattern from the Warmth and Cheer DSP stack and stamped the mouse onto it and cut out his sweater. Somehow I got really lucky and the pattern was perfectly centred and makes the mouse look so cosy. Next I cut him out with the stitched shapes framelits dies. I also stamped just the star onto a piece of gold glimmer paper and fussy cut out the star. To finish off my card, I used the Christmas Greetings Thinlits and a scrap of gold glimmer paper to make the jolly. I dry embossed the envelope flap with the Holly TIEF.

These stitched dies are available now in advance of next year’s annual catalog and to really sweeten the deal, there are a number of coordinating sets available at 25% off this month – Merry Mice is one of them.
