Welcome back to Just Dreamin' Stamps! It's time for card three in my four-card Christmas Mice series. In this one, the mice have headed outdoors for a snowy Christmas parade.
The Front: A Snowy Christmas Parade
For the background, I used the Alpine Winter Designer Series Paper. Its soft, misty pine trees and speckled snow make a peaceful winter backdrop that lets the main scene stand out.
Everything else on the front was fussy cut from the A Little Christmas Designer Series Paper. That includes the charming Tudor-style house, with its string of colorful lights along the roofline, a garland over the front door and a glowing lantern. Out front, three mice are putting on a parade:
- One little mouse is hauling home the Christmas tree
- One in a Santa hat is playing the trumpet
- The last one is marching along with a drum
I can almost hear them coming down the street! Because I fussy cut everything instead of using dies, all the little details stayed intact, from the tiny window panes to the mouse tails.
The "Wishing you Christmas Cheer" sentiment was made with the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies. This time I used Silver Hot Foil, which suits the cool, wintery colors of this card and gives the sentiment a frosty shine.
The Inside: Merry & Bright
The inside sentiment, "May your days be merry & bright," is from the Stitched Stocking stamp set, stamped in Pool Party ink. The soft aqua picks up the cool tones from the front of the card.
Along the bottom, a group of mice sing carols under a lamppost decorated with a red bow and a string of lights. It's the perfect ending to the parade out front!
Why I Love This Card
The A Little Christmas DSP has so many scenes to fussy cut, and this card shows how well it pairs with the Alpine Winter DSP. Switching to silver foil gives the whole card a completely different, frosty feel from the first two cards in the series. Be sure to come back for the final card, #4!
