House Mouse

Speedy Recovery

This card was made for a neighbour who's friend had just had a heart by-pass.

A5 white card blank.

Nitwit backing paper mat and layered

onto black card stock to frame.

Nitwit paper corners cut with a sizzix die.

Blue organza ribbon tied around the

main body of the card.

House Mouse decoupage cut

and adhered using pinflair glue, so the image

could be shaped and layered

onto black card again to frame it.

House Mouse can have some fiddly bits to it,

but it is up to you whether you want to cut

them out or not.  If you use pinflair gel it

is much easier to glue in place as it is clear.

Diggity Mouse Cup Cake

Cross over folded card

Two cards put together, so you have two flaps,

or a large enough piece of card stock scored

twice to make two flaps and each flap

cut at an angle to make triangles.

Cream Paper mania card used here.  On the flaps

(Diggity backing papers) green and pink paper

mat and layered to the angles. Mouse on cup

cake decoupage mat and layered on to textured

card, so it remains rigid. Anita's pink glittered ribbon

tied in a bow on an angle.

backed on to a die cut foil circle.

The inside of the card is brown Kraft paper and pink

paper mat and layered, with light green triangle

corners embossed in Swiss dot folder to the bottom.

plain pink paper four times and holes punched

with baker twine threaded through.  Best Wishes

into a circle and scored down the middle to fold.

adhered pyramage woodland fold to it.
