Two have that cozy Christmas feel, while the other one is perfect for celebrating someone’s birthday. You can totally use this collection for other special occasions, too!

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.

Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here and I’m happy to be back on the blog.
