Doodlebugs – Christmas Mice Duo

Happy Mix it up Monday everyone! I’m here today with a pair of cards featuring the same products in two colorways to help stock my stash for Christmas cards before it’s here.

I started by cutting the Mama Elephant All Tied Up cover from pink and teal cardstocks. Then I cut the string and bow from white and rose gold cardstocks to see how the different colors looked. They’re both good but I think I like the flashy better.

I cut white card bases next and inked up the front with the Pretty Pink Posh deco leaves stencil coordinating with both panels I had ready to go. I used Lawn Fawn peacock and ballet slippers inks here.

I pulled out the Mama Elephant Holiday Happiness dies and cut both sentiments from red and pink cardstock, using liquid glue to adhere the layers. I always have a hard time choosing which to use so I love making double cards for these to use one of each.

Next, I stamped two sets of the cute mice from the Lawn Fawn Sweet Christmas Mice and colored one set gray and the other brown. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and now we can start assembling everything together.

The gift panels are glued directly to the card bases, along with the ribbons strings. Then I popped the sentiments and mice up with foam tape and squares. I finished the designs off with glossy accents on mouse noses and stardust Stickles on bits of each image.
