Doodlebugs – Joyful Wishes Mice

Welcome to Mix it up Monday for Doodlebugs everyone! This week really switches gears to holiday inspiration from all directions so bear with me if you’re still in spooky mode.

Today I created a simple card using the Mama Elephant Candy Cane Lane stamps and dies. I started by stamping and coloring three of the mice with copic markers. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and set them aside to create my background.

Taking an A2 size white panel of cardstock, I used post-it tape to mask off the bottom portion of my card, a few inches from the top. I ink blended that section with Distress Oxide Ink in tattered rose and spun sugar for a soft peachy pink gradient. Then, leaving the mask in place, I stamped the mushroom house from Candy Cane Lane on the right side.

I also stamped my sentiment from the Pretty Pink Posh Wavy Christmas Greetings stamp set on the bottom before gluing the panel to a white card base. Last, I popped the mice up with foam squares and added stardust Stickles to the poms on each of their hats.

Isn’t this a sweet but simple Christmas card!?! I adore how it turned out!

Newton’s Nook – Candy Corn Season

Okay, today it’s going to get a little controversial. Are you team candy corn or team no thank you? I live so far in the land of team candy corn, I can’t even hear you if you’re somewhere else. Lol!!! Hence, today’s fun Newton’s Nook card!

I used the candy corn stencil set on black cardstock with distress oxide inks for a toned down but cool background. Then I splattered it with white paint for some texture and interest.

Next I used a combo of Newton’s Candy Corn images, Spooky Sky dies, Land Borders dies and Frames & Flags dies to create a cool scene. My image is colored with copic markers and everything is assembled wit ha combo of liquid glue and some foam squares.

Then I stamped a sentiment from Newton’s Candy Corn on the smallest in the Oval Frames die set and popped it up with foam squares. Finally I popped the whole scene panel up with foam tape and glued the whole thing to a white card base. For finishing touches I just added some white gel pen accents to the Newton image.
