On Tuesday, Lawn Fawn announced a special freebie stamp set, Birthday Mice, only available in local participating stores. Lucky for me, my local bestie Anchor Paper is participating! I headed over there & added more Lawn Fawn to my stash, including the dies to match the freebie stamps. I decided to combine them with some older products to create a homey birthday party scene - just like the ones we had when I was a child!
First I stamped, die cut & colored all scene elements. I wanted to give them a party frame but the one in my stash was for Valentine's Day. No problem - I die cut it (three times for dimension) & trimmed off the top of the hearts. Next I die cut banners from a LF box card die set & added them in place of the hearts. Backed the frame with some patterned paper & adhered to an A2 card. Added the table, mice and speech bubbles. It needed something else so I stamped a trio of presents from a Christmas set. Die cut and colored them with Copics to match the scene. Some white gel pen details finished the card.
I'll also add my card to Darnell's October NBUS Challenge #79 since the birthday mice are new. I'm also playing at the October We Love Stamping Challenge using the Anything Goes Option & Seize the Birthday #315 also using Anything Goes.
That's it for today friends! I'll be watching Craft Roulette in a few hours and will probably share that card tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by & happy crafting!!
