Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Basic Beige cardstock in half at the scoreline to create your base card.
- Adhere the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
- Adhere the two 2″ x 5-1/4″ pieces of Designer Paper to the front of the card. (See my tip below if you find it difficult to line these 2 papers up on the card front.)
- Stamp the mouse on the scrap of Basic White cardstock using Black Memento ink. Color in the mouse using the Smoky Slate Blends. Color in his ears and cheek using the Light Pretty in Pink Blend. Color in his Bow Tie using the Light Night of Navy Blend.
- Run the mouse through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the mouse die from the Hearts & Hugs Bundle dies.
- Adhere the mouse to the left side of the 1-1/2″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Stamp the sentiment to the right of the mouse using Black Memento ink.
- Adhere the White cardstock to the Basic Gray cardstock and adhere to the front of the card to finish.
A Tip from Barb
If you find it difficult to line up the 2 pieces of Designer Paper, do what I do! Cut another piece of 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White cardstock mat, adhere the Designer Paper to the mat, and then adhere to the front of the card. (I find it easier to line up the top and bottom that way!)
This card is actually super easy thanks to the pretty paper that we used on the background. If you don’t have the Hearts & Hugs dies, simply stamp the little mouse directly onto the paper and you have a super simple Busy Bee card!
