Simon Says Stamp | Have a Merry Christmouse Card + Video. Cyber Monday Blog Hop + Giveaway (Now Closed)
Hello there and welcome! Thank you so much for stopping by today to help celebrate Simon Says Stamp From The Vault Blog Hop. Simon and Lawn Fawn are bringing back with From the Vault: Merry Christmouse stamps and dies. These were extremely popular their first time around (during STAMPtember 2015) and I am very happy to see these products back in stock. I personally missed this stamp set last year so I was very eager to play this time!

CARDS DETAILS
I decided to make a few simple and silly cards to mail to my friends who have a nice sense of humor. I started by stamping images from the Merry Christmouse stamp set in Simon’s Intense Black Ink onto white paper. I used my mini MISTI stamp positioner as I wanted to double stamp them and have perfect black outlines.
I used a few colors of Copic markers are quickly colored these. The colors I used are:
After cutting my images out using coordinating dies I started working on my background. I used my regular size MISTI, Sea Glass cardstock panel and Diagonal Stripe 6×6 cling background stamp and heat embossed beautiful white stripes.
For my Naughty or Mice card I heat embossed sentiment in Simon’s Antique Gold embossing powder onto vellum, wrapped vellum around the panel and adhered it onto an A2 top folding card base. I also foam mounted my images and added some red and white bakers twine to finish the card.
For my Merry Christmouse card I cut a banner out of Schoolhouse Red cardstock, foam mounted it onto the heat embossed panel (I already had it adhered onto a card base) and foam mounted my images on top. I also stamped “Have A” in Lipstick Red ink onto a strip of cardstock and foam mounted over the sentiment. To hang the stockings I adhered little pieces of red and white twine.
Lastly, I added a generous amount of Star Dust glitter glue from Ranger and some clear Wink Of Stella glitter pen.

Dayle S
November 28, 2016LOVE these cards! So whimsical and cute! I love the red banner card better, but both are great! I love to make funny cards… I have a harder time making ‘serious’ cards. Guess that’s why I adore Lawn Fawn so much…
Beverly Jordan

November 28, 2016I love making funny cards, but I think you have to know who will appreciate them and who enjoys more sentimental cards. Thanks for sharing
sharon l
November 28, 2016I, like you, like the banner card better. But, the little upside down mousies are too cute. I try to match the cards to the personality of the recipient. And with my friends I make a lot!

November 28, 2016wow love your card thank you for sharing
Brenda Lilley
November 28, 2016I do like making funny cards and I have found them to be well-received. Love yours! 🙂
Daria Z.
November 28, 2016Both cards are wonderful, but I think I like the one without the banner better. That soft striped BG really makes the mice the star of the card. I do love to send funny cards – especially to kids.
Lee
November 28, 2016I love the dark red behind the die cuts, but I really like the layout of the other card so — tough call but adorable mice and stockings. Cuteness.
Marty B
November 28, 2016So so darling & your cards bring it to life!
Dale AIessi
November 28, 2016I love your cards!! Love funny cards but I don’t think I’m funny enough to create them. Yours are phenomenal!!
SusanME
November 28, 2016I love both of these cards! Yes, I do like creating funny cards – hopefully the people who receive them appreciate the humor!
Cyndi Morris
November 28, 2016Those cards are precious. I love them both, but I think the banner card is my favorite. I would love to send funny cards, but my supplies don’t include any comical stamps. This set might be my answer.
Kamila Routsis
November 28, 2016I love these cards! So cute! I love the mouse popping from the top such a cute touch! I love making punny and funny cards!
Rebecca Ednie
November 28, 2016I like funny or punny cards but most people I send cards to are more into elegant, classic or shabby cards. So I really don’t have many of that type of sentiment.
AnnB
November 28, 2016Oh I love those cute mice,and the “naughty or mice” sentiment is so funny! I don’t often make funny cards as most of my friends enjoy receiving the more traditional kind.Thanks for sharing!
Sheri K
November 28, 2016So adorable! These mice and your card is fabulous!
Carolyn S
