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 theĀ 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.

I really love funny cards as that is what my older kids like! I am not well versed on making them and would appreciate all the help I can get!
Your cards are so cute. I make a few just for certain people I know will enjoy them. Thanks.
Lovely cards! I think I like the one with the red banner slightly more, too.
So cute and the mice
are so fun! I do like
making cute cards
and love receiving
them.

I don’t tend to make funny cards that often, but it’s something I want to make more of!
Since you asked, I do think I like the banner card just a little more. The strips of bakers’ twine and the little mouse peaking out of the bottom of the banner are just playful enough to boost this version over the top! I do like the original, too, and I am glad you took out the red strip. Good call! Thanks so much for all you share. Your work is amazing. Merry Christmas to you.
I love the bright colors on these cards. these are so stinkin’ cute! I love making funny cards the best, if it makes me happy and smile I hope the receiver will feel the same. Thanks for sharing.
I love making funny cards!!! I love both of your cards but the banner one is my favorite too!!
Great cards – love those little mice!
OMGosh your cards are just too cute! Yes-I LOVE funny cards. I always try to make them so others smile. I’ve heard back from some of the recipients and they really do like them!
Thanks for such awesome inspiration!!!
I like making funny cards! I wish I can make them all the time! I think people receiving them often appreciate them.
Awesome cards, thanks for inspiration!
And yes, I do love making funny cards:-)
I have several friends who love funny cards! I enjoy making them to send my friends who appreciates the cute home made humor
Both cards are super cute and I can’t wait to watch your video later today.
I like funny cards that only the person that receives them gets the joke! I make up a lot of the sentiments on the computer.
I like the card w/o the red banner best – the two mice looking down from the top are adorable! I make a lot of funny cards, they always make me smile!
Such cute cards. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your visit.
I don’t usually make funny cards but I love receiving them. Thanks for the great inspiration!
Funny cards should be part of one’s repertoire. It’s good to laugh!
Love your card it’s adorable! I don’t make funny cards very often only because I don’t own many of those kinds of stamps!!!
super cute!
love it!
Very cute cards! I like how you placed some of the mice upside down. I do like to make funny cards, but sometimes they have a limited audience when it comes to giving them away!
Funny Cards I love to make them to, my mother-in-law has every card i have made her and so does my Aunt Paula. Makes me feel good when I here that.
Love these! I really love punny/funny cards and always try to make a few! I know some people prefer silly cards over elegant ones š
Love both cards. Thanks for taking this time to hop. Enjoy the rest of your visit.
I like both your cards today but my favorite is the banner card
Great job, so cute!
I do find people appreciate the hand made cards I give. Sometimes they are funny but most are just everyday cards
Your projects are sweet and adorable. Thanks for the inspiration
I love this card – so cute – I love funny cards and make them when I have the inspiration. People certainly appreciate handmade cards:)
I love to make funny cards. This set and your cards are all so adorable.
SUPER SWEET Cards!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Sweet Designs!! THANKS for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
I pprefer the white card simply because it looks more clean. The red banner is too strong for me. I adore your accent and am drawn to your site for all the tid-bits of advice and sincere honesty in your process. You are a pleasure to watch. Martina
I love this card! and yes I love to may fun funny cards. I send mostly to family and they all say they love it!

You have created really cute cards….adorable!
I absolutely love this stamp set and the cards everyone is sharing with us. I think it will definitely be a purchase for me. Thanks for sharing.

Cute!! I like cards with some humor to them and try to make them when possible.
I love both of your cards but I think that I like the one with the red banner a little bit more…. I love to make funny cards and my family and friends think that they are cute and that I should sell them. Much love and God bless you hugs oxox tfs
I would rather make/receive a funny card than one that gushes.
You wonder whether the sentiment is really sincere with those
that go over the top.
Love the mice looking over the top of the card.
thanks for sharing.
Great cards. I really love the diagonal background
I really like this set of stamps. I love mice,well, not in my house of course! I love cards with humor and my family would rather have a funny card than a serious or mushy card any day. That’s why I love all these critter stamps. They are so much fun to play with!
Both of your cards are very cute! I like to give funny cards but you definitely have to pick the right person. I couldn’t give everyone on my list a card that says Merry Christmouse!
Love the blending and coloring work on your cards. Very beautiful cards. So cute!!
Thanks for a well-thoughtout video…it was so helpful to see how you colored your cards. I think I like the one with the red banner best but both are darling. Thanks for the Blog Hop and Giveaway. I look forward to seeing more of your work. I have Pinned you!
Very cute!
I love funny cards! Sarcasm is the best! Cute design!
Love your cards. They’re fun and cute. Love cards with a sense of humor.
I love to make and send funny cards and I love yours!!!
