Hello everyone. I’m happy to be over on the Newton’s Nook blog once again. This time with some fun birthday inspiration. I’m having fun mixing the Back to Basics release with some of my favorite already release products. Today I’ve got the new Bright Basics paper pad and Frames & Tags die set with those sweet Birthday Mice!
I was inspired by a sketch I saw while scrolling Pinterest so that’s where everything started. I chose a couple of fun papers from the Bright Basics paper pad, cut the blue to 4×5.5 and the green with the largest Circle Frames die. Then I cut a white circle with the next size down.
I wanted to make a birthday card so that narrowed my search a little. It wasn’t difficult to land on some of my favorite mice ever in the Birthday Mice stamp set. I colored him with copics before using the coordinating die to cut him out. I inked up a little orange glow on the white circle behind where the mouse would go before adhering all my layers.
For the sentiment I cut one of the tags in the new Frames & Tags die set from black cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment on that. I wrapped twine around the blue panel and tied the tag in place with that. Avoiding the twine I added foam tape to the back of the blue panel and popped it on a white card base.
For finishing touches I added glossy accents to the mouse nose and holes in the cheese. Then I finished the design with stardust Stickles on the party hat and candle.
