Hello!
I am back again with some projects that I made using the new Spellbinders House Mouse Heart & Soul release.
Here is the first card:
I started by die cutting a stitched rectangle shape from white cardstock using the Spellbinders Bow and Bell Scallop Frame die set and my Sizzix Big Shot and magic mat.
I then used my MISTI and Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink to stamp the cute mouse drinking coffee from the new Spellbinders House Mouse Brew-tiful Day stamp set.
After the ink dried, I used my Prismacolor colored pencils to color in the scene. Specific colors are below:
Mouse face/paws/tail: Nectar, Peach, and Light Peach
Mouse fur: Dark Umber, Dark Brown, and Light Umber
Coffee/beans: Black, 90% French Grey, and Espresso
Jar: Caribbean Sea, Sky Blue Light, and White
Spoon: 30% Cool Grey, 20% Cool Grey, and 10% Cool Grey
Mug: Grass Green, True Green, and Light Green
Floor: 50% Cool Grey, 30% Cool Grey, and 20% Cool Grey
Next, I used a foam blending tool and Vintage Photo Distress Ink to add some color around the edge.
I then searched through my patterned paper and found the perfect piece to go with this scene. I used the same die set to cut out the large scalloped panel.
For the sentiment, I stamped "Have a brew-tiful day!" from the House Mouse set onto a white cardstock scrap using an acrylic block and then die cut it with the retired Spellbinders Hoppy Halloween die set.
I glued the scalloped panel and colored panel flat to a white A2 card base using Art Glitter Glue and then added the sentiment using foam squares.
That's it for the first card.
Here is the second card:
I started by stamping the cute painting mouse directly onto a white A2 card base using my MISTI and Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. The cute scene is from the new Spellbinders House Mouse Heart and Soul stamp set.
While the ink was drying, I dug through my stash and found this fun frame that was leftover from a previous project. To make this panel, I used the Spellbinders Memo Splatter BetterPress plate, my BetterPress LetterPress system, and Tutti Frutti, Tiara, Something Borrowed, and Flirty Fuchsia Catherine Pooler inks. The oval shape was cut out using the Spellbinders Scallop and Stitched Edge Oval dies along with my Sizzix Big Shot and magic mat.
After the ink was dry, I used my Prismacolor colored pencils to color in the scene, making sure to color beyond the edge of the frame that was going on top of the image. Specific colors are listed below:
Mouse face/paws/tail: Nectar, Peach, and Light Peach
Mouse fur: Dark Umber, Dark Brown, and Light Umber
Canvas: Jasmine, Eggshell, and Cream
Easel: Burnt Ochre, Goldenrod, and Jasmine
Sky: Sky Blue Light
Grass: Dark Green, Grass Green, and True Green
Paintbrush: 30% Warm Grey, 20% Warm Grey, 10% Warm Grey, Cadmium Orange Hue, Orange, and Yellowed Orange
Eye: Black Cherry, Dahlia Purple, Mulberry, and White
Heart: Indanthrone Blue, Cerulean Blue, and Non-Photo Blue
U: Yellowed Orange, Sunburst Yellow, and Canary Yellow
I glued the frame to the card using Art Glitter Glue.
Next, I got to work on the sentiment and accenting the card. I started by die cutting the pieces for the large paintbrush from the Spellbinders Crafty Tools die set. I used colored pencils to add some shading. I then stamped "You mean the world to me" (from the House Mouse set) onto a white strip using an acrylic block and inked around the edges using a foam blending tool and Black Soot Distress Ink. I glued the paintbrush and sentiment flat to the card.
That's it for card number two!
Here is the third card:
For this card, I started by die cutting a rectangle panel using the Spellbinders Linear Touch Rectangles and Tag die set and my Sizzix Big Shot and magic mat.
I then used my MISTI and Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink to stamp the baking scene from the new Spellbinders House Mouse Secret Ingredient stamp set onto the rectangle.
After the ink dried, I used Prismacolor colored pencils to color the scene. Specific colors are below:
Mouse faces/paws/tails: Nectar, Peach, and Light Peach
Mouse fur: Dark Umber, Dark Brown, and Light Umber
Label and recipe: Sand, Eggshell, and Cream
Vanilla bottle: Black, 90% French Grey, and 70% French Grey
Bowl: Copenhagen Blue, True Blue, Non-Photo Blue, Apple Green, Spring Green, Chartreuse, Cadmium Orange Hue, Orange, and Yellowed Orange
Spoons/floor: 30% Cool Grey, 20% Cool Grey, and 10% Cool Grey
I then worked on creating a background for the card. I cut the larger rectangle from a light brown cardstock and then used the Spellbinders Tattered Stripes stencil, a blending brush, and Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain Distress Inks to add some fun stripes.
I glued everything flat to a white A2 card base using Art Glitter Glue.
That's it for this card.
Here is the final card:
I stamped the cute sewing scene onto white cardstock using my MISTI and Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. The mice are from the new Spellbinders House Mouse Stitched with Love stamp set. I also stamped the sentiment onto a white strip. The sentiment reads "Sew thankful for you."
After the ink dried, I used Prismacolor pencils to lightly color the scene. For this card, I was going for a very soft look. Specific colors are below:
Red floss: Crimson Lake
Pink floss: Pink
Coral floss: Henna
Material: Cream
Frame: Seashell Pink
Scissors: 20% Cool Grey and Pink
Needle: 20% Cool Grey
Labels: Cream
Mouse ears/paws/tails: Deco Peach
Mouse fur: Beige Sienna
I fussy cut around the scene with my scissors.
I then found a fun striped patterned paper in my stash and trimmed it to 4" x 5.25" in size. I glued everything flat to a white A2 card base using Art Glitter Glue.
That's it for all of my cards. I hope you enjoyed them and are inspired to create. If you are interested in all of these House Mouse sets, you can buy the bundle here.
