Hi friends,

I am in love with this cute little mouse from the Country Mouse Hello stamp set from Unity Stamp Company. There’s another adorable mouse in the set as well as a couple more images and 3 sentiments. Be sure to check it out!

The “happy birthday sentiment” is from the Hugs, Kisses & Birthday Wishes set, also from Unity Stamp Company. This set includes a cute owl along with lots of birthday sentiments.

The bubble embossing folder I used is no longer available, but this one is similar. I used this set of dies from Spellbinders to die cut my stamped image and the layer behind it. I used an oval punch and scalloped oval punch that I’ve had forever to punch out the sentiment. (This is a great set of oval dies if you are looking for some. And here is a set of scalloped oval dies that would be great if you need those.)

To make the card, stamp the mouse with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and color with Copic markers. Die cut the image and layer to a larger die cut from terra-cotta card stock. Emboss a panel of white card stock with the embossing folder, layer burlap and dotted ribbon to the panel, and attach the panel to a turquoise card. Attach the mouse image to the card with foam tape. Stamp sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock. Punch or die cut with an oval punch and layer to a scalloped oval punched from turquoise card stock. Attach the sentiment to the corner of the mouse image.

Change the sentiment to “thinking of you”, “just for you”, or leave it off completely and this card can be used for just about any occasion!

Happy Stamping!
