    Watercolor Fun With The New House Mouse Heart And Soul Collection

    December 11, 2025 / 4 Comments

    Hello fellow crafters! Deborah Hellman here to share with you some cards that I created using the new House-Mouse Designs Heart and Soul Collection. I love House-Mouse, and this new rubber stamp collection does not disappoint. They are sweet, beautifully drawn, and easy to color with all the purposeful detail. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, these stamp sets include some great sentiments that can be used to express love, caring, and encouragement.

    House-Mouse Tree-mendous Christmas with Dina Kowal

    August 5, 2025 / 3 Comments

    Hi, Dina Kowal here! I love the sweetness of House Mouse stamps – they are so fun to bring to life with any coloring medium! This month’s Tree-mendous Christmas collection is full of delightful fall and winter images featuring Ellen Jareckie’s endearing little characters. I use a mixed-media approach to these images when I color, so I wanted to share my process with you today. I hope you learn something new! I chose to color the Hats Off to You image  – isn’t this little mouse so sweet in his acorn cap? I stamped the image on one of Spellbinders’ Cotton Card Panels. This was my first time using this…

    Colorful Rare Bloom Watercolor Cards by Deborah Hellman

    June 5, 2025 / 5 Comments

    Hello crafty friends! My name is Deborah Hellman, and I am thrilled to be a guest designer for Spellbinders this month. Today, I am sharing with you some colorful, Spring watercolor cards that I created using the newest House-Mouse Collection: Rare Bloom. I love House-Mouse and watercoloring, so for me it is a perfect pairing. Another option, these beautiful stamped images could easily be colored with colored pencils or markers to suit your personal preferences. In addition to being adorable, all of the House-Mouse stamps have great details and shading which is a big plus. I stamped all of the images on a 4¼ x 5½ inch piece of Spellbinders’…

Whether you’re new to cardmaking or just love a quick project, this one’s for you!  Here are some examples from the collection. For the tutorial, I’ll be using the mouse with the balloon.

    Hey there, friends! I’m Vera Rhuhay, and I’m thrilled to be here on the Spellbinders blog! Today, I want to share some fun inspiration using the House-Mouse Creative Day collection. These adorable designs featuring cute little mice are perfect for creating cards that will brighten someone’s day! Let’s get creative together! I started by die-cutting the Hemstitch Rectangles on Copic-friendly paper, then stamped each image onto the paper and colored them with Copic markers. I white heat-embossed the sentiment and cut it out manually with scissors. The first card I’m sharing uses a sweet scene from the Top Notch Birthday collection, making it ideal for celebrating someone’s special day! The next…
