today begins our taylored expressions november sneak peeks with release day on thursday. this month we are featuring new items for autumn & gift giving. everything will be available for purchase on thursday, november 6th at 7am pst. and be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post for details on a giveaway.
my first project today is a framed calendar featuring the 2015 3x4 calendar cards. the calendar cards fit right inside this 4x6 frame i found at michael's - the cards are clipped together atop a piece of cork i slid into the frame. and if you are a project lifer/pocket scrapbooker then once each month is up just slip the calendar card in one of your pocket pages.
for january i used the little owl & tree branch from the woodland winter set along with a sentiment from the set. and with gift giving in mind i put together a little tag. the background was cut with the new loop-de-loo cutting plate & the sentiment is a punchables - christmas cardstock circle. punchables are new this month - the christmas set comes with 30 1.5-inch circles pre-printed on cardstock.
my next project for today is a movie night themed gift card tin. for the top of the hinged tin i used the new tin topper die and the new little bits - movie night dies which make cuts that fit perfectly inside the scalloped circle. the sentiment is from the new sentiment set small packageswhich has a bunch of sentiments that fit right inside the open portion of the tin topper die cut.
for the inside i used the previously released gift card frame craft die to make a cut that fits inside the lid of the tin. the little to/from die cuts are new dies that are part of the on display tin insert set. this set also has a die that creates an insert to hold a gift card, necklace or earrings.
