Showers of Summer Fun with House Mouse Designs®



All this week the Stampendous team has been preparing to keep cool this summer along with the House Mouse Designs® friends. You, too? Jump on in...the water's fine! Look how much fun Monica is having under the downspout! Almost like, "Singing in the rain"! 


The Cling "Spigot Soak" image was colored with Copic markers, and then I fussy cut our little mouse friend and the spigot so that I could make her stand out from the rock wall. To highlight the water spray, I added drops of DecoArt® Liquid Glass. It is hard to photograph, but trust me...those droplets look REAL!






For this House Mouse Designs® card, we have a squirrel helping the mice to cool off with a watering can shower. Everybody say, "Awwwwwwwwwww"! So cute!


The Cling Squirrel Showers image was colored with Faber-Castell® Aquarelle pencils. Some parts I brushed with water, and others I left with the sketchy color pencil look. The panel was layered and adhered to a piece of gorgeous Oceanside by MyColorsCardstock. I added a banner piece with a sentiment from the Perfectly Clear House Mouse Designs® "Beary Mice" set, and a button with a bit of twine.

Happy Daisy Sentiments by Stampendous


Today's post is a happy one! Featuring the new Stampendous Cling Thank You Daisies image, stamped in black Memento ink, and colored with Copic® Sketch Markers, the panel has been die cut using the Fitted Frames "B" set, with a white mat to frame it. A sprinkling of Chunky White Embossing Enamel was heated from underneath for extra texture.


The card base was created from MyColorsCardstock™ in Sweet Potato, with an additional panel of grass green cork, making all of the colors pop! I stamped and die cut a few daisies from the Stampendous "Build a Bouquet" sets, with DecoArt® Liquid Glass in the centers of the flowers.

Stampendous and Whisker Graphics...the Cat that Got the Cream

STM_WG_banner_2

In preparation for the Stampendous April 2016 catalog, Whisker Graphics was kind enough to send each of our team members a wonderful package of product to stamp and/or stencil on, to package things in, and to tie it all up with yummy baker's twine. With all the fabulous inspiration that we will be sharing from both design teams we thought some of you would like to play along with these great products too, so there are PRIZES! Just comment along the hops each day and leave a thoughtful comment for the designers. Winners will be announced Monday, May 9th.


This fun card fits perfectly inside one of the larger Glassine Bitty Bags for a sheer hint of the fun inside!


For my project today, I've used several of their yummy, sherbet-colored tags, and made sure to incorporate them in my Copic-coloring of the House Mouse Designs® "Ice Cream Kitty" image.


The image was cut into three sections, each being adhered onto a colorful tag before being adhered to my card (MyColorsCardstock by MME).


One more tag was cut to fit, and stamped with a sentiment to rock this ice cream party theme. All of the holes on the tags were decorated with the solid and striped bright green twine that Whisker Graphics is known for.

Stencil Duos, Dreamweaver, and Tombow Sticky Stuff


Yes, once again we're mixing it up this week, and fortunately, it is all product that is perfect together! Yay! Here's what we've got going:

1. Dreamweaver Thursday. 2. New Release Stencil Duos. 3. Tombow's adhesive products.
Obviously, the first and second are a given together, and the third is pretty much a necessity in papercrafting, and the products that they carry work well for the heavier projects as well!

The card that I've created for today's post features the new Butterfly Duo set, and as you can see by the picture below, it comes with TWO stencils, a doodling pen, and a set of small cards. Perfect as a grab and go for a vacation or business trip where you might want to do a bit of creative fun, but don't want to haul EVERYTHING with you!

One of the stencil designs is an open shape, and the other is a pattern. They're awesome together or apart, and as you can tell by the packaging, you can add doodling to both! Here's what I've done...

c
Beginning with a My Colors Cardstock by MME Charcoal base, I've created a six-inch square, top-fold card. I've place the Dreamweaver Quatrefoil stencil over the surface, and taped in place with removable tape before using a large stencil brush to rouge Tuxedo Black Memento ink over the design for a tone-one-tone look.

Next, I used one of two panels of Rose Chintz canvas cardstock from MCC to ink stencil the pattern stencil from the Duo set over the panel using a large stencil brush and a mix of Lady Bug, Rose Red, and Tangelo Memento inks over the surface. I stamped one of the curved sentiments from the Perfectly Clear Thoughtful Wishes set in black ink toward the right in preparation for the butterfly wings. The panel was then adhered to the card front.


The first step of the butterfly was to paste-emboss the pattern design on the second panel of rose chintz  cardstock using Dreamweaver Matte Black Embossing Paste. The stencil was removed  carefully to be cleaned and dried, and the panel set aside to dry approximately 15-20 minutes. When dry, the pattern stencil was placed back over the surface, and VersaMark ink was daubed over the pasted area, and then sprinkled with Stampendous Kaleidoscope Embossing Powder. This was heated to melt the powder.

The butterfly design was placed over the panel, and traced with a black marker. The wings were cut out, and adhered to the card as shown using Tombow Foam Tape. Two strips of black ric rac were adhered across the bottom using the Tombow Glue Pen.
   

Remember...we have a hop going on today through Sunday, the 7th, so leave a comment for each post from the hop for your chance to win one of these prize packages...
