The Double D Challenge theme is Harvest, and it was the perfect opportunity to pull out a My Favorite Things which I have owned (and never used) for so long that it is no longer available to purchase! I love these little mice so I’m not sure why they were so neglected.
I wanted to use the Waffle Flower Postage set again, so used the Postage Collage Coloring Stencil to color the background. I cut the stamps apart, and then set out to stamp, color, and die cut the cute little mice with their haul of pumpkins and apples. I placed the die cuts in four of the postage stamps, and arranged them on a woodgrain card (Simon Says.)
The sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s Happy Fall is generic enough that I could use this for a fall birthday or even a fall anniversary. The little heart on the sentiment stamp is a red glittery sticker.
This card is off to Double D as well as Darnell’s NBUS challenge.
I have a crafting companion today, who worked very hard to create this card for her cousin who like crafting as much as she does. Here’s Hannah with her card.
I had made a card for one of her birthday gifts that featured crafting supplies so that’s what she wanted. She was pleased to see that I had a new (another NBUS) set by Gina K, Crafty Notes, and picked out the images she wanted to stamp. It took her no time to master the MISTI and she carefully colored the crafty tools with Tombow markers. She definitely wanted them to be “bumped out.”
When Hannah arrived from Wisconsin on Saturday she brought her watercolors with her and has created several wonderful paintings. After she colored the card and envelope, she noted that she was coloring the marker with one of the colors she used on the card. I think she’s got this!
We’re sending this off to NBUS as well.
Hannah is so cute and so talented! I know you must be so happy to have her visiting! Love your darling card, too!
You already know I love the designs that use “stamps” and the little mice trundling around with their heavy crops are just lovely. I like the orange envelope too.
A big “well done” to Hannah for a fabulous card for her cousin! I especially love the way she has coloured the paintbox. It really looks as if the paints are still wet and in use!
Both cards are so well done & very cute. I am sure it fills your heart with such joy, that you have another stamper in the family! You two are certainly a perfect blend together. 🙂
Your mouser card is perfect for our challenge and such a cute card it is, Hannah’s card is also adorably cute, she did a fabulous job!
Thank you for joining our challenge at Double D!

I have to start with the lovely Hannah! I know from personal experience what a blessing it is to have grandchildren who love to craft with us! My little guys were pretty good, but they definitely did not have a design eye like Hannah does! Her cousin will treasure her card! Enjoy this special time!
As for your adorable mousekateers card, Karen, it is simply perfect! They are a great set to use with your harvest-theme and your postage dies! (You will laugh at the ESP when I tell you that I, too, just used this set for the first time ~ after I “had” to have it all those years ago! I will be posting my card one of these Mondays.) Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
Oh my goodness! I love this old stamp set and still use it often. Perfect for fall and your card. I must remember to use the postage stamp die, it works well with these field mice.Thanks for sharing it with us at Double D Challenge.
What an adorable card with those sweet mice, Karen. Your card tells a story. 🙂 Hannah is so talented. She made an amazing card for her cousin. What a fun time the two of you had making cards together! xx
Cuter mice on the web, I don’t think so. And to find the perfect sentiment with all their sweaters. Hannah made a delightful card with her “bumped” items and all. What a darling girl and card to craft with this summer.
