Tea Time Mouse Card

The mouse is back!  She is also in my posts from February 9th and 12th.   I just love this little mouse made from the Playful Pals stamp set.  This time, she is in a card I made for Inspiration Night.  Our March Inspiration Night theme was Opportuni-Tea and we invited guests so that we could share the great opportunity in joining Stampin' Up!, especially during  Sale-A-Bration where the $99 starter kit gets you $155 in products of your choice.  Our swap theme was to incorporate tea or cookies in our swap.

I stamped the mouse using crumb cake.  I drew her tail with a crumb cake marker and face using the Project Life journaling pens and the watermelon wonder marker.  The little heart is punched from the heart border punch.  The sunflower is punched from the flower medallion punch and the center is a 1 3/4" circle.  The sentiment on the sunflower is from the Balloon Celebration stamp set.  Then when you open the card, which is folded along the bottom edge, there is a pocket for tea.

The "Tea" comes from the Balloon Celebration stamp set.  I punched the pocket using the word window punch several times to create the wider opening.  The flap was created by scoring 2 " from the edge.  (The card was made from a 4 1/4 x 11" piece of cardstock that was scored at 2" and 4 1/4".)  I attached the flap using mini glue dots so that it would hold securely.  You can also insert a gift card, such as Starbucks or Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.  I think I may incorporate this card in my April card class.  Hope you enjoy tea-time!
