Nothing Better then Blue Jeans!

Don't you just love a comfy pair of blue jeans?  - you know the ones... a little faded, soft from just the right amount of washings.  Me too!!!  I think these mice have found a pair like that to play in.

 

 

This is one of the cards we are making today at my Copic class.  We used the Hanging Jeans House Mouse Stamp by Stampedouse.  To give the card just a little more dimension, I cut the pocket out and popped it out. 

 

 

 

Hope you have a wonderful day "Hanging Out"

House Mouse Copic Class Sept. 9

This week's Wednesday Class is a Copic class featuring House Mouse stamps.  We will be using the Leaf Plunge and the Daisy Mouse stamps to create these two supper cute cards.

 

How stinking cute are these guys???  If you would like to attend, please join up on my event over on Facebook or email me at Cindyscreativejourney.blogspot.com so I have plenty of kits available.  If you are not local, you can go over to my Etsy page and purchase the kit.  The kit includes everything you need except Copic markers and adhesives.

 

 

 

Both of these cute guys are also available in my Etsy shop ready made if you prefer your cards already done.

 

Thanks for stopping by,

Humming Bird Feeder

You guys know how much I love my Copics and House Mouse stamps, so today I am sharing an up coming class I am teaching at my house.

How stinking cute is Monica and this little humming bird?  I just recently started feeding humming birds on my deck, so I have been paying close attention to their coloring.  I just love how their colors shimmer and change in the light.

I always have problems finding a patterned paper that doesn't distract from my House Mouse images, so I pulled out my Fun Stampers Journey "Linked Dots, SS-0051) background stamp and inked it up with my FSJ "Whip Cream" ink.  I think it worked perfect for this card.

To finish my card off, I added some purple May Arts ribbon and a FSJ "Sparkle Drop".  I love the Sparkle Drops- all of the facets give off just enough bling to so look at me!, but don't give it that over the top look.

 

You can purchase all of the FSJ products listed at:

If you would like to purchase a pre stamped card kit, they are listed in my Etsy shop:

Watermelon Mice

I spent some time in my craft room today to escape the heat of the summer.  I don't know about you, but watermelon always cools me down and brings back wonderful memories.  That's why I chose this stamp to color today.

These little guys look so relaxed.... and stuffed!  Remember having watermelon seed spitting contest when you were younger, back before seedless watermelons?

Something tells me that we wouldn't have a chance of winning if we were up against this foursome!  Hope Everyone has a great Sunday staying cool and relaxing!

Teacup Sailing

I have always been a fan of the House Mouse characters and I have challenged myself to start using my collection horde more often!  This week I colored  the Teacup Sailing stamp.

Teacup sailing was surprisingly easy to color.  Aside from the Copics for each of the mice, I only used 10 other colors, and most of them were straight coloring, not blending.

Notice the clouds, I used a mask to create this effect.  I keep thinking about buying the airbrush system, but just can't justify the cost.... does anyone out here in blogland have the airbrush system?  If you do, let me know how you like it!

 

Get your Creative on!
