Hello there and welcome! Thank you so much for stopping by today to help celebrate Simon Says Stamp From The Vault Blog Hop. Simon and Lawn Fawn are bringing back with From the Vault: Merry Christmouse stamps and dies. These were extremely popular their first time around (during STAMPtember 2015) and I am very happy to see these products back in stock. I personally missed this stamp set last year so I was very eager to play this time!

CARDS DETAILS
I decided to make a few simple and silly cards to mail to my friends who have a nice sense of humor. I started by stamping images from the Merry Christmouse stamp set in Simon’s Intense Black Ink onto white paper. I used my mini MISTI stamp positioner as I wanted to double stamp them and have perfect black outlines.
I used a few colors of Copic markers are quickly colored these. The colors I used are:
After cutting my images out using coordinating dies I started working on my background. I used my regular size MISTI, Sea Glass cardstock panel and Diagonal Stripe 6×6 cling background stamp and heat embossed beautiful white stripes.
For my Naughty or Mice card I heat embossed sentiment in Simon’s Antique Gold embossing powder onto vellum, wrapped vellum around the panel and adhered it onto an A2 top folding card base. I also foam mounted my images and added some red and white bakers twine to finish the card.
For my Merry Christmouse card I cut a banner out of Schoolhouse Red cardstock, foam mounted it onto the heat embossed panel (I already had it adhered onto a card base) and foam mounted my images on top. I also stamped “Have A” in Lipstick Red ink onto a strip of cardstock and foam mounted over the sentiment. To hang the stockings I adhered little pieces of red and white twine.
Lastly, I added a generous amount of Star Dust glitter glue from Ranger and some clear Wink Of Stella glitter pen.

Your cards are so cute, the little mice are adorable. I don’t make many funny cards, oddly enough.
Love your cards!! Fun cards are “fun” to make, especially for children!! These mice are so adorable! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Love how you used the tag to anchor your images. Really cute.
The colors are so cheery and bright on your cards! I also love the placement of the mouse images . . . in the stocking, upside down, peeking . . .So adorable!
Your cards are so cute, great coloring. I think most people appreciate that the card is handmade cute or otherwise. TFS
Cute cards! Most of my recipients seem to prefer the more serious kind of cards but my little brother has a great sense of humor 😉
Love this set!! I give all my caRDS AWAY TO FRIENDS , FAMILY, gIRLS LOVE MAIL, AND DONATE TO NURSING HOMES TOO
So cute cards! I like to make funny cards. I love punny sentiments 🙂
Both cards are adorable! I’m glad you included a video. I hope you enjoy your time with family.
I like to make pun cards for my grandchildren, it makes them laugh.
Like the gold used on the sentiment and all of the lovely creations – TFS your beautiful work!
Love this sweet card, super adorable mice! I love making funny cards, and my family and friends love to receive them especially my nieces and nephews.
I love the one with the Red Banner! Both cards are gorgeous!
I love to make fun cards. There’s so many great stamp sets with humorous sentiments. I’m new to cardmaking and I haven’t learned to set up fun scenes like you do yet. But my friends like the ones I attempt so far. I’ve been a scrabooker for over 20 years.
I think a funny card it’s good to wake up the humor of others. There is level of humor therefore we will measure the level of humor depending on the person. I haven’t create a funny card yet, but tats going to be on my list now. Lol thank you for sharing
I LOVE making funny cards and Lawn Fawn have the vest “punny” stamps. My husband said he would be fired in a week if he started working at Lawn Fawn as they are so clever and he has no talent for that kind of thing! I loved your recent JOY and funny critter card and I am going to be making one to send to my daughter. Many thanks for sharing your awesome talent with us.
i like to make funny cards, I love the punny sentiments Lawn Fawn always seem to come up with, they make me giggle, and I’m sure everyone else too
I love making funny cards, especially for my younger brother. He will not accept a store bought card from me. It has to be hand made and funny.
Such a cute stamp set, I am going to order it. Those mice in stockings are so sweet! Awesome card!
I love funny cards especially with bright colors. I think most love my funny cards, but I make some ‘more traditional but still funny’ Christmas cards for my (old) aunts and uncles…
These are totally adorable Yana. I think I prefer the one you did on video but they are both so stinkin’ CUTE!
Funny cards are my favorite to give! I like to make others smile, so I give them to everyone! Love your cards
Very cute! I guess I like the red tag one best as well. The pop of red is just so nice and Christmasy.
I think all the cards I make are funny…it makes me happy to make them and it makes the people who receive them happy too 🙂
I love to make funny cards for my crazy family! They really appreciate the silly… Have a “mice” Christmas!
I also like the card with the banner. Both are adorable!
I love funny cards and these two are adorable. I especially liked the one with the red banner.
My favorite is the one with the red banner but they are both cute!
This set is so cute. I like the mice hanging in the stockings best. Thanks!
Funny cards are the best! This stamp set makes me smile big!
Beautiful and cute! I like them both!
Love the whimsical touches on your cards!
Thanks for a chance to win!
I love making funny cards! And I think the recipients like them more than the traditional sentiment ones as well!
I don’t make too many funny cards, but yours are adorable! 🙂
This is such a cute card. Made me smile.
Love your cards! Sometimes I make funny cards and yes the recipient seems to like it.
Total cuteness!! I love fun cards!! Thank you for making me smile!!
Love your cards! They are very cute. I have never made funny cards but maybe I should 😉
My family has a great sense of humor as do my friends so I would rather make a funny card for them. I love a play on words and puns! These cards are just as cute as can be. I love these little fun mice.
Such adorable cards! I’m so glad they re-released this set, totally adorable and cheeky cards like this are the best.
Oh my gosh this is SO super cute!! I love the mice peeking from the top!! Cute card and video!! I absolutely LOVE to make funny cards or cards that make you smile!! 🙂
Both your cards are adorable and I have some friends who would love them. Most of my fun cards with critters usually go to my grandsons, however!
I like to make cards that the recipient would find funny. An inside joke is the best!
Love everything you make!:) your imagination is out of this world the mice are so cute got to make this for my nephew.your cards make my day happy.
LOVE funny cards! Enjoy your holiday with family!
All of your cards are so cute, love the peeking mice and hanging stockings.
I like to make what I call “fun cards”!
O my goodness you all have done so good with this stamp set. I am loving it. I don’t buy cute stamp sets but this one makes me think I need too.
I like both cards, but the vellum banner card is probably my favorite.
I don’t make funny cards very often, esp for the holidays, although lots of my cards have “cute” images.
Love your cute card! I love to give cute cards, mostly for birthdays. My recipients love them.
I love making cards that I know will make the recipient chuckle.
