Just Dreamin' Stamps: 'Tis the Season – Christmas Mice Card 2 of 4

Welcome back to Just Dreamin' Stamps! Today I'm sharing the second card in my four-card Christmas Mice series. The mice have left the kitchen and moved into the living room, and they're busy decorating for Christmas.

The Front: Trimming the Tree

The background for this card comes from the A Little Christmas Designer Series Paper. It's a cozy living room with a crackling fire, three red stockings hanging from a garland-draped mantel, a comfy red armchair and a glowing lamp. With a scene like that, most of the work is already done for you!

I fussy cut the Christmas tree and the mice and added them to the scene. There were no dies involved, just scissors and a little patience. Fussy cutting lets you keep every detail, like the tiny paws, whiskers and tails. Here's what the mice are up to:

One mouse stretches up to hang an ornament on the tree
A little one stands close by, watching the decorating
A third mouse has gotten a bit carried away with the string of lights. He's sprawled on the floor, all tangled up!

That tangled-up mouse makes me laugh every time. I think we've all had a year like that with the Christmas lights!

A few finishing touches make the tree sparkle:

Christmas Epoxy Shapes: An epoxy star sits right on top of the tree. It adds dimension and a little shine.
Wink of Stella: I brushed Wink of Stella over the lights on the tree and to the flames in the fire, so they twinkle when the card catches the light. It's hard to capture in a photo, but in person it really glows!

The "'Tis the Season" sentiment was made with the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies. The red foil ties in with the stockings and the armchair, and it sits right beside the fireplace.

The Inside: Sending Warm Wishes

I kept the inside simple so there's plenty of room to write a note. The sentiment, "Sending warm wishes this Christmas," is from the Stitched Stockings stamp set, stamped in Real Red ink.

In the bottom corner, I added one more fussy-cut mouse hurrying along with a present. It's a sweet little surprise for whoever opens the card.

Why I Love This Card

This card shows that you don't need a lot of dies to make a detailed, festive card. With a gorgeous designer paper, a pair of scissors and a little sparkle, you can tell a whole story. Be sure to come back for card #3 in the series!
