Thank you card with Minnie Mouse

Yesterday we had our class reunion. We graduated 35 years ago! So I made a thank-you tag for my former classmate who organized the reunion. For this, I chose the Spellbinders Classic Mouse die set and I created a Minnie Mouse.

Tag front:

I cut out a tag with Sizzix Bigz die, Tag&Bookplates (656938) but it was too big, so I cut the bottom a little shorter and I also cut the top a little pointier. I coloured the surface with turquoise paint. When it was dry I splattered with watered brown paint and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Archival ink. 

Tag back:

The back of the tag was another piece of paper that I coloured fuchsia with acrylic paint. I spritzed it with watered brown paint and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Archival ink. The numbers are from the Sizzix Thinlits die, Vault Hippity Hop (666562). I cut the letters from gold painted paper. For the stars I used Sizzix Thinlits die, Snowglobe (661603). And I cut the stars out from the same gold paper that I used for the numbers.

Minnie:

I cut the basic pieces from black paper. Her face was cut out from Neenah Solar White paper and coloured with Copic Sketch markers. Behind the head I glued the tongue piece which I coloured with pink Copic Sketch marker (RV32). The skirt was cut out from fuchsia coloured paper. Then I added tiny dots with a white gel pen. 

The text was stamped with Black Soot Archival ink and I used an MFT stamp set: Bitty Thanks&Gratitude.

 

Birthday card with Spellbinders Mickey Mouse

After my feminine name-day card, I would like to show you my masculine birthday card that I created for my dad who turns 77 in February.

The background paper was painted blue with Uncharted Mariner Distress paint. Then I splattered with gold paint and inked the edges with black Archival ink. I added a few tiny stars too. For this, I used Sizzix Thinlits die, Festive Things (664191) by Tim Holtz and I cut out the stars from a paper that I painted gold before. 

Mickey is part of the Spellbinders Classic Mouse, Steamboat Willie die set. His pants, shoes and face were coloured with Copic Sketch markers. 

For the balloon and the garland, I used the Sizzix Celebrate Sidekick Dies and Texture Fade (666861). The balloon was coloured with Copic markers but for the garland I used coloured papers. The numbers were in the Sizzix Thinlits die, Alpanumeric Label set (664177).

The oval thing Mickey is standing on is an MFT die, and it's the top of a cake. I also painted it gold with the same gold paint I used for the stars and the splatters. 

With my card, I would like to join the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Spritz & Splatter

Valentine's Day tags with Mickey and Minnie Mouse

Hello crafty friends, I would like to show you my tag duo with Mickey and Minnie that I made for Valentine's Day. 

You can find the Mickey and Minnie dies in the Spellbinders, Classic Mouse, Steamboat Willie die set. I cut out the basic pieces of the mice from black paper. But the faces and the clothes were cut out from Neenah Solar White paper and I coloured them with Copic Sketch Markers. I added dots with a white gel pen to Minnie's skirt.

The tags were painted with Ranger Distress paint, Old Paper. Then I spritzed with brown paint and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Archival ink.

The hearts were cut out from Neenah Solar White paper and I used the Sizzix Thinlits die, Stacked Tiles, Hearts by Tim Holtz (665858). I chose the second smallest size and coloured with Copic markers.

You can find the dots in the Classic Mouse, Christmas Embellishments set. I painted gold a piece of paper and when it was totally dry then I cut out the dots.
