Merry Little Christmouse -- Honey Bee Stamps Holiday Charm Release

Hello, friends, and happy Monday!  Today we are having an Instagram hop, with prizes, to celebrate Honey Bee Stamps Holiday Charm Release!  This release is filled with cute holiday images and beautiful florals for your holiday cards!

There's also a new card kit that was released!  It's called Season To Sparkle.  Here's the description from Honey Bee's product page:

"This festive kit is filled with everything you need to create beautiful Christmas cards with a little extra holiday magic. Create charming ornaments with the included Lovely Layers: Vintage Ornament dies, then add the perfect finishing touch with the bold Bee Spoken: Merry die.

Mix, match, layer, and embellish to create everything from classic Christmas cards to playful holiday designs. Whether you’re crafting a stack of cards to send to family and friends or creating something extra special for someone you love.

Because the best part of Christmas is making something from the heart."

The focal point of my holiday card is the adorable little mouse and snowman image from the new Merry Christmouse stamp set.  There are five more super cute images in this stamp set along with lots of sweet sentiments (with coordinating dies) for lots of options.

After I colored the image with my Copic markers, I cut it out with the coordinating Merry Christmouse die. 

This is a 5" x 7" card.  Not necessary for the Christmouse image, of course, but I wanted to feature the beautiful new Framed In Holiday 3D embossing folder and the coordinating Lovely Layouts: Framed In Holiday die set.  I used two of the six dies in this set.  First to cut out the large layer on the card base.  After I die cut the white cardstock, I placed it into the Framed In Holiday embossing folder, held the paper in place with removable tape, and ran it through my die cutting machine.

Next I die cut the layer just behind the main image with another die from the Framed In Holiday dies.  You can also emboss this with the Framed In Holiday embossing folder, but I kept it smooth for my background.  I used my scissors to cute scrap paper to use as a mask while I inked on blue inks for the sky/clouds.  I used Stormy Sky and Tumbled Glass Distress inks.

Next I added white opaque watercolor splatters, let that dry, then popped the piece up with foam adhesive onto my card.  I used foam adhesive to adhere the Christmouse image to the panel.  The little berry sprig at the top is from the new Lovely Layers: Christmas Botanicals.  I added a little bow at the top and the sentiment at the bottom of the panel to finish up.

I hope you will check out the entire Holiday Charm release over in Honey Bee Stamps' shop.  Then join me on Instagram for the hop.  Be sure to leave comments for your chance to win one of two $50 gift cards from Honey Bee Stamps.
