Dancin Mouse, Coffee, and Snowflakes

 Hello everyone I have a card I made for the current Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Coffee+Snowflakes.  I chose to used this cute Spellbinders Die Set that I got in December last month/year.

I love this cute series of dance dies from Spellbinders.  I have been collecting them. This one is called Dancin and Giftin Mouse.  I started out using a white A2 cardstock panel with a Filigree Snowflakes embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp. I ran it through my Spellbinders Platinum Aqua 6 Machine using the perfect sandwich plates. I then ink blended it a little with Hickory Smoke Distress ink. Next, I then ran my mouse dies through my die-cutting machine using white, pink, blue, purple, and black cardstock.  

I ink blended the head and ears with Hickory Distress ink.  I made her boots with multiple layers as I wanted them to be thick die-cuts.  I cut out a retired small coffee to-go cup from a CC Designs die set that I had in my stash and I thought it was the perfect size for my mouse.  I cut it out with white and purple cardstock.  

Next, I cut my embossed panel to be smaller than A2 size. 4 x 5 1/4.  I glued my mouse to my panel using foam squares so that my mouse could move.  I made sure to not glue the legs.  I love her holding a coffee.  I stamped a sentiment from STAMPlorations Holiday Mocha Feels for on white cardstock with black ink.  I cut it to be a fishtail banner.  I glued my panel to a white A2 card base and attached my sentiment with foam tape.  I embellished with snowflakes and added some white gel accents with a gelly roll pen.  I hope you like my card.  I had fun making it.  I love making her dance.

Thank you for stopping by!
