I have eight grandchildren and I thought this card would be slightly different to the ones that they normally receive - a Christmas tree pop up card.
For this card I made use of the little stamps that you get with Joanna Sheen's House Mouse designs stamp sets. All were coloured using Promarkers and then cut out (the fiddly bit). The lights on the trees used one of the stamps several times and were cut and pasted onto the tree. Peel off stars were added and the little 'fairy' mouse had glitter added to the wings.Two other little mice were added to the folds either side of the tree.
Finally designer paper and 'happy Christmas' peel offs were added to the base.
I would also like to enter this into the following challenges:
Send A Smile 4 Kids - anything goes for kids
Creative Inspirations - anything goes
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas - light it up
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Extra - anything as long as it's Christmas

Love this tree with the little mice getting involved in the decorating of it. Maybe I could get some little mice to help me decorate or light my candles for me. LOL Great job. Enjoy your week.
