Welcome to Day 3 of Taylored Expressions November Sneak Peeks! The November products will be released tomorrow – Thursday, November 5 @ 7 AM PST!
Unbelievably, New Year’s Day is less than two months away! My first project is a Happy New Year shaker card featuring the Happy New Year die.
To create the card, I cut the Happy New Year out of Oreo cardstock and adhered a plastic sheet rectangle to the frame back. I cut a panel of Sugar Cube cardstock to back the frame. After sprinkling in some of the TE Wedding sequins, (actually a lot of sequins!), I attached the back with foam adhesive to the frame. To finish off the card, I created a woven panel from gold metallic cardstock with the Basketweave Cutting Plate, which I “stitched” with one of the dies in the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets set. While I wove the panel with the same color of cardstock, there are lots of possibilities with the weaving (two-color, three-color,…)!
My second project features a few of the adorable critters (twelve in all!) in the Calendar Critters set.
I Copic-colored the critters for the months of November, December and January, combining them in a card created with the Mini Colorblock Cutting Plate. I embellished with some of the pieces in the Build a Scene – Calendar set and one of the Holiday Charms. The sentiment is from the coordinating Critter Correspondence stamp set. I wanted a card the card to capture the “holiday season” – Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s!
