Reverse Confetti November Release Countdown to Confetti Day Three

It’s Day Three of the Countdown to Confetti at Reverse Confetti! Today, Reverse Confetti introduces the Bubbly Tag Toppers Confetti Cuts.

For my first project, I created a celebration tag, cut with the Topped Off Tag set, using a sentiment from With Love and a panel cut with the Bubbly Tag Toppers set.

I finished the tag off with pieces cut with the Hang Ups set and a silver ribbon.

For my second tag, I used the Bubbly Tag Toppers set along with a small scallop banner die in the Gift Card Holder Tag set to hang stockings cut with the Jolly Holiday set.

The With Love sentiment was stamped on the tag, which I cut with the Topped Off Tag set.

Taylored Expressions November Release Day!

Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions November 2015 Release! All products that we have been peeking this week are now available in the TE store, HERE! Before you head off to shop, I have one last project to show you.

JeanManisNOV15RaiseYourGlass

I created a celebratory card with the Raise Your Glass die set. (While my card is for New Year’s Eve, the Raise Your Glass set works for any number of occasions – engagement, wedding, graduation, …!) I cut the glass out of a white metallic cardstock (I used the two dies together to create a frame), as well as out of gold metallic cardstock. The sentiment from Eventful – Holidays was heat-embossed on Oreo cardstock and cut with one of the just-released Stitched Banner Stacklets dies. I added some celebratory streamers to the card base, which I dry-embossed with the On the Spot embossing folder.

I filled the glasses with a combination of sequins and Little Bits – Celebration Confetti. Although I didn’t create a shaker card, doing so would be easy!

Taylored Expressions November Sneak Peeks Day 3

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.
HappyNewYearShaker

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.

CalendarCritters

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!

AEI♥U Challenge #30 – Holiday Tags

It’s time for another AEI♥U Challenge! This month’s theme is holiday tags, and we’re teaming up with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags Event.

Here’s my holiday tag featuring the moose from the Avery Elle Snow Much Fun set:

I stamped the moose, colored him with Copics and cut him with the Elle-ments companion die. I stamped the banner from the FA LA LA set and cut it with it’s companion die. I cut a snowbank with a die from the Snow Caps set and cut it again with the tag die, adhering it to a tag cut out of blue cardstock.

I also created two more tags in a similar manner featuring other cute images from the Snow Much Fun set!

Taylored Expressions Bright Holiday Season

Today, I’m sharing a holiday card featuring one of the images from Taylored Expressions Deck the Halls, which I colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.

Penguin

I cut the hill with the Taylored Expressions Build A Scene – Rolling Hills die set and added trees from two other Build a Scene sets – Winter Trees  and Central Park. The patch of ice (which I decided to cut in a whimsical color) was cut with a die in the Central Park set. The sentiment is from the TE Share the Light stamp set. The snowflakes were cut with the TE Little Bits – Snowflake Confetti set.
