House Mouse Holidays

 I have some cutie House Mouse cards to share today - one for the holidays and one for Halloween. House Mouse stamps have been around for decades, and I'm almost certain my very very first stamp ever was a house mouse. I was probably around 10 years old and the woodblock stamp was a little mouse... anyways I would heat emboss it in silver using the heat from our stove (not recommended/advised) over and over again. Thus the stamp addiction began 😁

The sketchy look of House Mouse rubber stamps just calls for color pencils. I dragged my Faber Castell Polychromos pencils (the best!) out of hiding to color in this adorable House Mouse Sweet Twist stamp. He looks so cozy inside that warm stocking enjoying his candy cane.

The light blue panel of the card was just die cut from the Arches Infinity Die and then embossed with the Streamline 3d Embossing Folder. This adds subtle texture and interest to an otherwise simple card.

Another cutie house mouse! This card uses the new House Mouse Halloween Dragon rubber stamp set. How cute is that little baby mouse in his costume?! I also colored this stamp with Polychromos pencils because the sketchy stamp lends nicely to that style.

I heat embossed the Candy Corn Kisses in white and added some die cut little bats from the Haunted Romance die set. This is an older die set but so necessary for spooky season crafting!
