Spellbinders | House Mouse | Sneak Peek

You probably already know that I am a BIG fan of the House Mouse series. Today, I am on Spellbinders Blog with 3 darling cards. I couldn’t wait to get my hands (and markers!) on the newest collection called Rare Bloom. These stamps are crisp, deeply etched, and beautifully detailed—making them an absolute joy to color and create with.

I’d love for you to pop over and read my Blog Post: Whimsy & Cheer: 3 New House Mouse Cards.

MMH January 2024 Premium Kit

My project today features The Premium Kit and boy did I have fun playing with it! I started off by die cutting this delightful breezy flower in five of my favorite colors and then I lined them up in a row so they formed a border at the bottom of my card. Clean and simple die-cutting, but I think it has a lot of interest.

I’ve listed the products used on card below:
