For MMTPT341-feeling happy.
And for this Month's DD Central Theme "All Cooped Up" Word Play- incorporating the word "HENS"...
H=Hearts
E=Embossing
N=Nine Mice
S=Satin Ribbon to finish off this Happy Love Card.
I had great fun seeing my card idea come to life. I started out by selecting several House-Mouse Designs® Stamps showing mice giving away their hearts. hehehh.. Then I stamped these and used my Creative Memories Circle Punches to punch out the stamped image parts of Mice handing over their Hearts that I wanted to use. I've layered the punched circles in red, then white (images punched out) and added a top black frame over each image to make each pop. (The 9 black frames were made by punching out 9 smaller circles in black CS, then punching out 9 larger circles over those 9 small punched openings).
Stamps used here are all by House-Mouse Designs, Inc.
Stampabilities, "Monica Romances" #HMER1004, from Year 1996
Stampabilities, "Be Mine Heart & Sole" #HMER1014, from Year 2004

Stampabilities, "I Give You My Heart" #HMJR1024, from Year 2003

WHEW!! That's a lot of stamps used on one card! But also a great idea for using parts of lots of stamps.
TFL & Happy Creating!

America, your card fits both songs so you get extra, extra cookies. I love how you showcased parts of each mouse. You really put a lot of thought and effort into this - thank you so much.

CUTE & ADORABLE card!
Such a clever use of different HM stamps, to make part of the stamp image a focal point. Love how you embellished every circle with bling.
