More House-Mouse Christmas Card Ideas!
Hello crafty friends! It’s Carol here today and I’m totally thrilled to be back today to share three ideas using the totally adorable House-Mouse Christmas collection! I’m not normally a “critter” stamp-loving person, but when I saw the first House-Mouse Collection here at Spellbinders, I was in love with these adorable mice. Did you know that they even have names?!! Take a close look at the package images and you will see the names! For this first card, I used the Bringing Christmas to You stamp set. This cute little mouse’s name is Monica! First I stamped the adorable image with little Monica pulling the beautiful ornament through the snow…

House-Mouse Christmas Card Ideas to Try!
Hey there, friends! It’s Leica, and I’m excited to share three lovely Christmas cards with you, all featuring stamp sets from the adorable House-Mouse collection. This collection is just beautiful, and I’ve created coordinating cards using the same colors. I’m even thinking of giving this card set as a gift to a friend! For my first card, I stamped the Mistletoe Kiss Cling Rubber Stamp Set on a white cardstock panel and colored it with Copic markers. I used Crimson cardstock to make a border around the image and for the sentiment, which I heat embossed in white. To add a sweet touch, I included a bow in gold cardstock…

House Mouse Holiday Collection Cardmaking Inspiration
Hello crafty friends. This is Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook and I’m very excited to be here sharing a trio of cards featuring the fantastic Christmas release from the Spellbinders House Mouse Collection. These mice stole my heart some years ago when I was first becoming a cardmaker and it thrills me to have them back to create with again. To begin my creations today, I simply cut three panels of Bristol Smooth Cardstock and stamped the main image on each one. Then I sat down to relax and watercolor each one at leisure. I love coloring these images. They’re forgiving for novices and relaxing for anyone! Once the panels were…

Cardmaking With Silly Santas
Hello! I’m Jen Kotas from Who Stole My Glitter and I’m happy to be here today to share two cards featuring the new Simon Hurley Silly Santas Stamp Set. I could not resist using as many of these adorable Santas as possible on each card. To add more shading to the stamped images, I used one lighter ink and one darker one per image. First, stamp the entire image with lighter ink. Then, tap some of the darker ink on only to the bottom and back third or less of the image. Use a small blending brush to soften the harsh line left by the ink pad and stamp the…

Hello, crafty friends!! Brenda Noelke here from My PaperCut Creations! I’m so excited to be guest posting on the Spellbinders blog again today! I’m sharing a pair of cards using the Retro Holiday Stamp Set designed by Simon Hurley!!! I began by stamping the ornaments from the Retro Holiday stamp set onto white cardstock with Copic-friendly black ink. I colored them with Copic markers, added highlights with a white gel pen, then fussy cut them out. For the background, I die-cut a panel of Peridot cardstock with the largest die in the A2 Matting Basics A die set, then embossed it with the Holiday Floral Swag 3D embossing folder. I…

Easy Pattern Cards
Hello! I’m Jen Kotas from Who Stole My Glitter and I’m happy to be here today to share three cards featuring the newest Simon Hurley release. I enjoy filling a card panel with stamped images and today I’m taking things up a notch by die-cutting the images and adhering them to an embossed panel. The texture under the images is such an unexpected and subtle surprise. For the first two cards a stamp positioning tool is necessary. The slimline cards I’m using measure 3 1/2” x 8 1/2” when folded. Emboss a piece of 3 1/4 x 8 1/2” white cardstock with the Mandala 3D Embossing Folder. Splatter with bronze…
