Hello Honey Bee friends! I’m back today to share another card with you that features two of the products from the Perfect Match release and two products that are older, but still favorites!

If you follow me on social media like my Instagram, you may have noticed that I don’t make a lot of cards that have critters on them. It’s not that I dislike them, I just don’t seem to reach for them often. However, this Sweet Spring Mice stamp set is one that I have used multiple times!! I stamped this cute mouse with Intense Black ink and did some simple coloring with a few Copic markers. I cut it out with the coordinating Sweet Spring Mice Honey Cut and set it aside to work on the other card elements.

The second older product I used is the Clover Petals 3D embossing folder. This is such a beautiful embossed pattern with awesome dimension! I embossed light green cardstock with the embossing folder. Then I custom dyed some pearl shimmer paste I have in my stash with a couple drops of light green reinker that coordinates with the cardstock. Once I had the paste mixed I used my finger to rub the paste onto the raised areas of the embossed cardstock. I set it aside to dry. (Note: You can use most any type of glitter/texture paste you may have for this technique.)

Next I die cut white cardstock three times with the top layer of the Lucky To Have You die. I die cut the layer once more from more light green cardstock. I used glue to adhere the layers together and then glued it to the white layer I die cut with the bottom layer of the Lucky To Have You die. I swiped a clear glitter pen over the sentiment for some subtle sparkle.

Then I stamped “friend” from the Love You, Friend stamp set with light green ink and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the middle of the Lucky To Have You sentiment with thin foam tape.

After making sure the embossed panel was dry, I trimmed it to 3-¾” x 5″ and glued it to an A2 card base. Then I glued the sentiment to the card.

I adhered the cute Sweet Spring Mouse with foam dots. I wanted a bit more bling and was happy to find that the Dappled Moss acrylic hearts coordinated perfectly! I used little dots of glue to adhere the hearts to my card.

While this card has a bit of a St. Patricks Day vibe to it, I think it is good to send to a special friend at any time! Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful and crafty day!
