About this design

A mouse who found the biggest treat in the house. It wraps both arms around a striped candy cane taller than itself, round ears perked up and a long tail curling out behind. The candy cane’s stripes are cut out, so they show as cream bands, and the cane’s hook curves over the mouse’s head.

It has the charm of an old storybook illustration, the little mouse in the big kitchen at Christmas, and it is our own original character. Printed at 3 inches, it also makes charming labels for jars of homemade fudge, peppermint bark and other sweet gifts.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file is a single connected piece with 13 cut-outs, mostly the candy cane stripes and the mouse’s details. It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches tall, small enough for gift tags and ornaments. The tail is the thinnest part, so weed around it gently.

Color layers

  • Backing in cream: shows as the candy cane stripes and details
  • Design in raspberry pink: the mouse and the cane

For a classic look, set the design to gray and the backing to red, so the stripes show red.

Projects

  • Candy jars and treat bags.
  • Gift tags for candy cane gifts.
  • Kids’ shirts and pajamas.
  • Ornaments in wood or acrylic.
  • Christmas cards with a storybook feel.

Step by step: a candy jar label

  1. Set the design to 4 inches tall and download the color file.
  2. Cut the backing from red permanent vinyl and the mouse from white or gray.
  3. Apply the red layer to a clean glass jar, then the mouse on top.
  4. Fill the jar with mini candy canes and peppermints.
  5. Tie a ribbon around the lid and add a tag.

A storybook touch

The mouse looks lovely beside a classic Christmas story read aloud on Christmas Eve. Cut a small one as a bookmark from cardstock, or print it on the first page of a family Christmas book, so the little mouse becomes part of your own traditions.
