Happy Birthday Card by Farhana Sarker

A Simple Happy Birthday!

Today Farhana is sharing a lovely clean and simple birthday card! 

This card features the adorable mouse from our Birthday Mice Stamp Set. She stamped the mouse onto her card front and then added color to the image with copic markers. She stamped and colored the birthday hat on a separate piece of cardstock and added onto the head of the mouse.

For the sentiment she used the word "happy" from our Happy Easter Die Set. She cut it directly out of her card front, next to the mouse. Then she blended pink and yellow ink on a  separate piece of paper and layered it behind the cut out word. So pretty! The word "birthday" was stamped below it from our Birthday Roundabout Stamp Set.

This quick and simple card is perfect for when you need to create a quick birthday wish!

Have a MICE day!

Today we are wishing you a MICE day with this adorable card by Farhana!

To create this fun card she started by stamping the cute mouse holding a ballon from our Birthday Mice Stamp Set. She colored the mouse with Copic markers and then cut it out using the coordinating Birthday Mice Die Set. 

Here are the Copic colors she used to color the mouse: 

For her card she started with a white card base and then layered the fun frame from our A2 Card Layout Die Set. She cut the frame with light blue paper and then again with the different birthday patterns from our Birthday Party Paper Pad. So fun and colorful!

Mouse Birthday Card by Amanda Wilcox

Happy Birthday, Big Cheese!!

Today Amanda ahs created a fun and colorful card that is perfect for sending birthday smiles!

This card pairs the cute mouse from our Birthday Mice Stamp Set paired with our colorful patterns from our fun new Bright Basics Paper Pad.

Amanda stamped and colored the image of the cute mouse holding up a stack of gifts and cheese from our Birthday Mice Stamp Set! So cute! She colored the image in bright colors and added little bits of gloss and sparkle to the cheese, candle flame and birthday hat. Then she cut the image out using the coordinating Birthday Mice Die Set before adding it to her card. 

For her card she kept the layout basic but used fun patterns from our Bright Basics Paper Pad for a bright punch of color! She added a blue polka dots on the background for the base layer. Then she cut out the fun big scalloped circle using the green striped paper with our Circle Frames Die Set. She cut out a white stitched circle, also using the Circle Frames Die Set to fit inside it and layered the mouse image onto that. 

The finishing touch is the sentiment, embossed in white onto a small black tag that was cut out using our Frames & Tags Die Set and tied one with bright orange twine! So simple, yet colorful! What a cheerful way to send a birthday wish!

Birthday Mice Card by Farhana Sarker

A MICE Birthday Celebration!

Today we're sharing an adorable mouse themed Birthday card by Farhana.

For this sweet birthday card Farhana features the adorable mice sharing a cupcake from our Birthday Mice Stamp Set. She colored the image in soft pastels and cut it out using the coordinating Birthday Mice Die Set. 

For her card she started with a white card base and used our Confetti Hot Foil Plate with silver foil to create a band of shimmery confetti across the front. Then she masked off the the top and bottom of the card and used distress inks to create a soft rainbow of color over the confetti! The colors she chose match the colors of the sprinkles on the cupcake so perfectly! 

Next, she stamped the "Happy Birthday"greeting from our Birthday Roundabout Stamp Set and cut it out into a banner shape using our Banner Duo Die Set. She tucked this greeting in next to the cupcake to complete the festive birthday feeling. A few shimmery gemstones complete the look! 

What a fun and simple birthday greeting!

Bright Birthday Mouse Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Happy Birthday Mouse!

Today Ellen has created an adorable mouse themed birthday card!

This fun card features the mouse with the gifts and cheese above his head from our Birthday Mice Stamp Set. So cute! She colored the image, adding fun little speckles to the mouse for texture and cut the image out using the coordinating Birthday Mice Die Set. She also adds bits of candy using our Newton's Candy Cane Stamp Se. See below for full color breakdown and details on how to create this adorable scene!  

She also used our brand new Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plates and our Banner Duo Die Set to create the lovely shiny birthday message in the banner! What a gorgeous bit of sparkle! 

Here are some tips from Ellen on how to create this adorable card:

• (Left photo above): First I die cut the largest frame of the Frames & Flags Die Set and used the Clouds Stencil to create a pretty background. I start inking the panel at the bottom (tip: start blending of the edge of the stencil for the best results and a smoother blend). Once you have inked the first cloud, move the stencil up and start inking again and keep repeating this until you have filled the panel.
  
  
• (center photo above): Here you can see I die cut the largest frame again and then cut it again using the Land Borders Die Set. Next I inked it so it looks like sand. Later I die cut 3 clouds with the Sky Scene Builder Die Set. I also foiled the sentiment with the new Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plates!
  Turn on your hot foil machine and let it warm up. Lay your hot foil plate on the machine and trim your foil a little bigger than your hot foil plate. When the green button of the machine turns on, place the foil pretty side down on top of the plate. Than you place your cardstock on top. As the last step you place the shim and acrylic plate on top of the cardstock. After pressing the timer button, the light slowly will stop blinking, now you can roll the sandwich through a die cutting machine.
  
  
•  (right photo above): Here I colored the images. I used the Birthday Mice Stamp Set and Birthday Mice Die Set & Newton's Candy Cane Stamp Set for the candies.
  
  COPIC COLOR SWATCH:
  Violet: RV34, RV32, RV00
  Purple: V04, V01, V00
  Brown: E25, E23, E21
  Yellow: YR18, YR13, YR06, YR20

Birthday Mice Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Bright Birthday Wishes!

Today Ellen has created a bright and colorful birthday greeting featuring our Birthday Mice Stamp Set. 

She started out by coloring the image of the two mice sharing a cupcake from our Birthday Mice Stamp Set. She colored the image in mostly neutral tones but added bright green, yellow and orange to make it pop! She cut the image out using the coordinating Birthday Mice Die Set to add it to her card. 

For her card, she made a glowing starry scene using our Cascading Stars Stencil with Yellow Neon Glitz Glitter Gel over a blue inked background. What a fun effect! She added hill along the bottom for the mice to sit on using our Land Borders Die Set with black cardstock. Then she framed the whole scene with the scallop edged frame from our Framework Die Set, cut from gray cardstock. To add to the birthday theme she added a panel of yellow confetti paper to the background using a piece from our Birthday Party Paper Pad. The "Happy Birthday" Sentiment is from our Birthday Oval Stamp Set and she masked the words and stamped them onto two colored banners that were cut out using our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set.
