Hello! I hope you are well. It is very cold with just a touch of snow on the ground here. It definitely feels like winter. I have my first Christmas card of the year to share with you. My regular readers know that I make Christmas cards year-round, however, I definitely didn’t intend to start making them this early. However, I have been mulling over a few blog challenges, and this is just the card that evolved with the inspiration.
I paper pieced the mouse’s pj’s with some scrap patterned paper from a Christmas pack, then colored her with pencils. I matted the image with some glitter cardstock that looked white until I used it on this project, and now it looks pink!
The background stamp was inked up in Distress Oxide ink. I then stamped the saying and used loose glitter around the edge of this. My snowflake punch seemed to be the right embellishment for this.
Supplies: Art Impressions Chris-Mouse Mini Shaker stamp set, Hero Arts Berry Background stamp, Versafine Black ink, Distress Oxide Tattered Rose Ink, Crate Paper Peppermint paper pad, LoveNicole glitter cardstock, EK Success Snowflake and Square punch, other items from my stash
I would love to play in Art Impressions Pretty Pastel challenge, Pixie’s Snippets Playground Anything Goes with scraps challenge, and Tuesday Throwdowns Winter Sparkle challenge.
Thank you for your kind visit! I truly love reading every comment!

So cute Heidi. Love that bit of silver glitter around the edges.
Hey! That is so super cute! Great papers, glitter look and coloring. We had a Chris-mouse in our house too, but I think we got it caught and sent it on it's way outside again. It was a nice warm day so hope it found a place to crawl in besides our house.
This is adorable! Sentiment is perfect! Missed blogging over the past year, nice to visit again! Carri ~ https://doubleclickconnections.blogspot.com/
Great paper piecing. This is just so darn cute!! I'm jumping on the band wagon too and am making cards early this year. I want to join in the alphabet Christmas challenge. If I hurry up and get my DT work done in time I have a cool idea for Artifical Christmas tree.
Oh, Heidi, how adorable! I really love this sweet little PJ mouse...hehe! He's adorable, and I love his paper-pierced pajamas. Such a sweet card! Hugs and love! xoxo
So cute! I love the background panel you created. Great paper piecing as well.
