Now for my card :o)

I thought I would use colours no one else would think of for Valentines.


Here is a closer picture for you:

A bit different?

Recipe:

Coloured with Copics

Design Paper: Basic Grey: Sugar Rush Collection; Card Stock: Stampin’Up Summer Sun, Green and Blue are from my stash – unknown, Prism white

Image: House Mouse – Love Letter

Sentiment : House Mouse – Love you Lips

Ink: Memento – Tuxedo Black

I distressed my card with a distressing tool and inked it all with Tim Holtz: Antique Linen.

Candy Dots: Pebbles Inc. – red, blue, yellow

Red heart button – from my stash

Yellow – DMC embroidery thread

As you can see I did not use the lips on this card :o)

Here is the inside left:

I put the blue card stock through my heart Cuttlebug emboss plate and used the stickers that came with the ‘Sugar Rush Collection’ . I added pop dots to the sticker – with the paper left on the dots* I then put baby powder over all the sticky parts. When I removed the paper on the pop dots I was able to stick it to the card.
Right Side:

I used the red and white dotted heart from the sticker set and added a heart I cut from the heart embossed Cuttlebug paper. The blue heart is pop dotted. There is lots of room to write your sentiment still.

NOW on to STEPHANIE’S card!!

HAVE FUN :o) ~ Candy

Valentine Mouse

Hi everyone!
Thought I would post a card I made last week. Don't know what I was saving it for??
Just wanted to make something a bit on the sweet side.

I used Bazzil basic - pink on this one. Stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Prism white. Cut the image out and attached it to the card. I had some very pretty white flower lace that I also glued half on and half off the card around the edges.

On the inside I used paper from ' Pink Petty Coat - digital papers ' I am in love with polka dots :o) and chose to use this pretty lilac dot. I also stamped a few Swirl Flourishes and added various size pearls onto them. This is the left side:

And this is the right one:

Because the polka dot is so light one can write their note on this the way it is...
The card stock was cut into a piece 12" long and 4 1/2" high, I used my Scor-Pal to score it down the middle and then traced a heart onto the back side. I cut it by hand, but left a small area on the left side un-cut - for the fold of the card.
Copics: Letter - E50, E51, E53; Envelope & wrapping - BV00 and 0; Shadow: C1, C3, 0
Mouse: E31, E33, E35 - Feet and tail: E00, R30; Mouse face and ears: E0000, E000, E00, R20
Thanks for taking a peek - Love Candy

Hi Everyone!!

Hello and welcome to my new blog!!

I have had the honour of being chosen as one of the Design Team Members for Cindy Echtinaw's new House Mouse Blog :o) The other great members of the DT are : Head Designer - Billie St Clair; Mindy Rapp; Dawn "Froggy" Saenz and Stephanie Hester.
You can find the House Mouse stamps here at Cindy's store.

Thought I would show you a couple of House Mouse Cards I made for Cindy awhile ago.
They were great fun to make.

This first card is an Easel Card and was made for Christmas.'Christmas is a Warm Hug"

Here is another picture for you a bit closer:


The Design Papers used were from Basic Grey and the sentiment was computer generated by me. I used my Spellbinders Fancy Label for the tag.

This next card is called a 'Joy Fold Card'. Easy and fun to make. " Across the Miles at Christmas"
Loved the colours in this one and also love the stamp - hot chocolate is one of my favourite things LOL

Here's a closer picture of this one for you:

This sentiment was also computer generated.

Thanks for visiting and hope to see a lot more of you :o)
Love Candy
