Birthday Mice Card by Maria Russell

Birthday Wishes!

Today Maria is sharing an adorable birthday card that is twice as MICE! 

To create this sweet birthday wish, she used the image of the mice sharing a cupcake from our new Birthday Mice Stamp Set. Aren't those two mouse friends so cute peeking around the cupcake at each other? She colored the cupcake a fun bight blue complete with a rainbow candle. She also colored two extra birthday hats and a tiny gift from the same set, cutting everything out using the coordinating Birthday Mice Die Set. 

For her card she started with a white card base and added strips of patterned paper featuring teal and orange party hats from our Birthday Party Paper Pad, overlapping them for a fun card layout! She also balloons to one corner using our new Bokeh Balloons Stencil Set with glittery paste. 

The finishing touch is the sentiment "Birthday Wishes" which was stamped from our Birthday Oval Stamp Set. She colored the letters in "wishes" in run rainbow colors to match the candle! So cute!

Mice Birthday Card by Amanda Wilcox

Time to Celebrate!

Need an idea for a fun birthday card? Today we are sharing an adorable birthday greeting created by Amanda that is sure to inspire! 

To create this card Amanda combines images and sentiments from our Birthday Mice and Birthday Roundabout Stamp Sets. 

Note: Our Birthday Mice Stamp Set is part of our retiring sale and will only be available while supplies last so if you like this design, make sure you get it while you can. Find this set and see what else is retiring in our retiring sale category! 

Amanda colored those cute mice with the cupcake from the Birthday Mice Stamp Set in bright pastels and added glitter to their birthday hats and the candle flame for a fun bit of sparkle!

For the background she embossed the big birthday circle from the Birthday Roundabout Stamp Set in white onto watercolor paper. Then she added fun splotches of blue, yellow and orange inks over the whole background, matching the colors of the cupcake. She tore the bottom edge of the paper and added more blue ink along the bottom along the tear. Then she added a yellow border below the torn edge using the wave from our Sea Borders Die Set. 

For the sentiment she embossed "Time to Celebrate" from the Birthday Roundabout Stamp Set onto a banner that was cut out using our Banner Trio Die Set.

We love this fun and colorful birthday card and hope you are inspired to get some inks out and create fun and colorful backgrounds!

Have a MICE Birthday Card by Maria Russell

Have a MICE Birthday!

Today we are sharing a sweet and simple birthday greeting by Maria that will make a birthday extra mice!

This adorable card features the sweet mouse holding the balloon from our Birthday Mice Stamp Set. She stamped and colored the image and gave it little details with rosy cheeks and white gel pen accents. She then cut the image out using the coordinating Birthday Mice Die Set. 

For her card background she cut a scallop edged panel out from water friendly paper using our Frames & Flags Die Set. Then she loosely watercolored a rainbow of color over the panel and added a bunch of white and red paint splatters. Next, she embossed the sentiment "Have a mice birthday!" from the Birthday Mice Stamp Set in white onto a black circle that was die cut using our Circle Frames Die Set. 

This cheerful birthday card is so easy to make and will definitely bring a smile to someone on their special day! To see more beautiful projects by Maria you can visit her over at her blog, Maria Russell Designs.

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. 

What a festive birthday card! The unexpected night scene is so creative and fun!

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!

Have a Mice Birthday Card by Tina Herbeck

Have a MICE Birthday!

Today we are sharing an adorable mouse themed birthday wish created by Tina! 

For her card today, Tina created and adorable shaker card featuring the duo of mice peeking around a giant cupcake from our Birthday Mice Stamp Set. She colored the image using alcohol markers using neutral colors with fun pops of blue and yellow. The image was then cut out using the coordinating Birthday Mice Die Set to add to her card. 

For the card base she created a shaker window by using dies from our Circle Frames Die Set to cut a window frame. Inside the shake she added blue and iridescent colored sequins. Behind the shaker she added a piece of patterned paper with confetti dots on it from our  Birthday Party Paper Pad, a perfect way to add more fun to this adorable card! A few sequins glued to the card front add the perfect finishing touch along with the sentiment "Have a mice birthday!" from the Birthday Mice Stamp Set.                                                                                           

We hope you have enjoyed this sweet birthday greeting today!  To see more wonderful cards by Tina, you can visit her blog, The Scrappin Rabbit!
