Have a Mice Birthday!

 

Hi everyone!  Andrea Jacobsen here bringing you another card using the fabulous Cupcake Mice.  This time I also used the dies.  I love a good interactive card but don't have the patience to "figure" out all the math.  When I see a die that will do all that work for me, I typically will buy it.  Today's card uses just such die.

I will apologize up front.  I didn't remember to jot down all the Copics I used to color my critters before I put them away.  I do know the colors I used for the mice because I used my go to brown colors which are E33, E35, and E37.  I used this combo to color both mice. I colored several of the cupcakes and cupcakes with candles.  I didn't use everything that I colored and die cut but I used most of it.

 

For today's card, I used the Peek A Boo pop up die set from Lawn Fawn.  I have had this in my stash for months and just used it for the first time.  I love all their interactive dies.  While I love interactive dies, sometimes I don't explain everything the best so I am also linking the video from Lawn Fawn on how to use this die set.  These mice and this die make the perfect card for anyone in your life.  I have included pictures of my finished card in different stages.  I have picture of it closed, open, standing, and showing that it will fit into a regular A2 envelope.

This is the card closed

Open with the "surprise"

I also wanted to show that the card will stand up because I know most people like to display their cards.

This final photo is to show that even though the card is interactive and looks bulky, it will fit into a regular A2  envelope.

I have really enjoyed sharing these cute birthday mice with you.  I hope everyone has a great Saturday!

Andrea
