Well, these little House Mouse mice are always up to something, and it usually has something to do with eating!
I swiped the base card edges with DI's. Layered with patt paper which has corners stamped with stars. Coloured the HouseMouse image with Copics, diecut & mat with Squaovals dies. Punched a hole in the corner and tied with linen thread. I cut up the sentiment and punched some "sprinkles". Stickles outline the stamped stars and the "sprinkles". Inside I stamped a sentiment and added a stamped party hat to make it festive.

16 years old already! J loves playing games and is very competitive whether on the computer, playing boardgames or cards. I refuse to play monopoly with him, but am happy to contest anything else. He will play anytime, anywhere with anyone who will keep still long enough. Games are his universe.
For his name, I covered card in wide adhesive packing tape then diecut letters which are lightly stacked. The silhouette is distressed by sanding and stacked. A selection of game pieces. sprinkled. The card base is top fold, and inside I made a stepper to hold a gift card as he loves getting interactive cards from me. So far I have managed to surprise him every time.

Clean and Simple. It was so tempting to add stuff, but I'm so glad I didn't; it only has a little smudge of blue & green colour behind the image. Tim Holtz stamp sentiment, unknown wheel, Distress inks, Stickles.

A valentine card for my husband, not mushy, simple & heartfelt.
I used pink & red DOxI's to blend areas where I wanted colour when I stamped. I stamped onto a post-it note and cut out for a mask, which covered the image so I could stencil some of the background, also DI. I coloured the eyes & lips with Copics and used Glossy Accents. For the heart I used Glossy Accents and sprinkled some frosty glitter on. This is one of my fave border dies, diecut from patt paper. White pen highlights.
