Guest Designer for AAA Birthday Game #53 - Animals

Hello everyone.  I’m excited to be guest designing (GD) this month at AAA Birthday (AAAB) for their September challenge - ANIMALS.


With so many options, it was a difficult decision, but I settled on the Mice Day to Celebrate stamp and die set from My Favorite Things, which I’ve had for over a year now! 🫣  Here’s my card.


Stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol marker friendly cardstock, coloured with Copic Sketch markers then die cut out with the matching dies.  Fussy cut out certain parts of images to work better for the scene.  Added highlights with a white gel pen. 

Copic markers used:
mice - C00/0/2/4, R81/83
blue - B00/01/02/05
yellow - Y11/13


The floor and base board were die cut from Kraft and white cardstock, respectively, using the Wood Floor die set from Penny Black.  For better definition, applied Brushed Corduroy distress inks to the floor.  White heat embossed the sentiment onto black cardstock.  Assembled the card onto a white card base tge. Added clear shimmer on the blues for some sparkle to finish.


I want to thank Jane and the AAAB team for having me GD this month. Having said that, you have all month long to join in the fun with your animal birthday themed cards!  For more inspirations from the design team and/or link up your entry, click HERE.  Please note, affiliate links have been used in this post when possible at no extra cost to you.  Thank you for stopping by.

  19. I want to be at their party, Trina! These mice know how to have a good time and that wooden floor is inspired; so much easier to clean than carpeting when that cupcake hits the floor!😄 Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! And congrats on the GD gig! Hugs, Darnell

  22. What a funny birthday scene. I think these mice also used helium to sing with their thin voices :-)) I love the way you created this room and how you colored these cute characters.
