House Mouse 'Fun In The Sun'

Hi all :-) I am here with a reminder to please join in with the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge,

This time I am hosting by the and the theme is 

Anything Goes 
+ the option of
💦Water Fun 💦




I colored with Copic Markers and added a few dabs of Star Dust Stickles on the sand. I stencilled in a few clouds and added some 'sea' and a few North Star Embellishments to finish. 

My daughter doesn't read my blog, but I thought that this would make a nice card for her. I will buy her a new beach towel and some suncream, ready for her next seaside adventure ;-)

Simon Says Stamp 'Shine On' Blog Hop Day 1



Hi all and welcome to Day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp Shine On Blog Hop! You should have hopped here from the super talented Alberto Gava's Blog, if not you may wish to start at the beginning on the Simon Says Stamp Blog

The lovely Heidi and peeps at Simon HQ sent me a fabulous parcel of Shine On Products and I made 3 cards to share today. 

First up is a summery fun card made using a Silly Seagulls Die Set and Chill Vibes Clear Stamp Set 


I used Simon Says Stamp White and Sunshine Cardstock to cut the Silly Seagulls and used Grey Copic Markers on their wings. For the background I stencilled some clouds and added some 'sea' across the bottom. 


next up is a card using a Flourish Beautiful Butterfly Die Set


I colored with Copic Markers and shaped before popping them on 3D adhesive squares. I stencilled a few clouds for the background, added some Iridescent String, a few Cottontail Embellishments and an EZ Strip Birthday Sentiment to finish 



and last but not least a fun card using a CZ Designs 'The Divorce Upside' Clear Stamp Set, I really had fun making this and I hope it cheers up the intended recipient!


For the background I used Pawsitively Saturated Inks to stamp the sentiments. I added some Iridescent String and Cottontail Embellishments  to finish


and I finished the inside



To see all of the products in the 'Shine On 'Release CLICK HERE or on the pic!
