A Little Hocus Pocus Mouse

Hi friends! Natasha Polite of Polite Creations joining you with a fun card featuring the Tricks & Treats Stamp & Cut from the NEW Hocus Pocus collection.

The Tricks & Treats Stamp & Cut is designed to pair perfectly with the What's Cookin'? Stamp & Cut. How fun to dress up the cute little mouse for Halloween! I stamped the mouse, cape, pumpkin, candy corn, stars and moon onto white cardstock and colored them using Tri-Blend markers. 


I wanted to stick to mainly pinks and oranges for these images. I accented with yellow and my mouse was brown. Once all of my coloring was complete, I die cut the images with the coordinating dies.


To create the background, I cut triangles of Canary, Papaya, and White cardstock and adhered them to a White A2 panel. I then assembled my mouse using foam squares to pop up the hat, cape, and pumpkin. I arranged my stars, candy corn, and the moon on either side of the mouse, almost as though following the center seam. I also used foam adhesive to pop up the candy corn and some of the stars. I adhered the rest with Precision Glue.

I stamped my sentiment from the Tricks & Treats Stamp & Cut in Pitch Black and created a sentiment block. I popped that up beneath the mouse. Finally, I added a few crystal gems to add a little sparkle.

Happy crafting,
