N is for New-To-Me

It's that time of year again . . .

we all need to get our Christmas cards sorted and

what better way to do it than playing along with the

Seventh Annual Month Of Holiday Cards

at

Beccy's Place

The prompt for Day 16 is "N"

N is for New-to-me
I have used two New-to-me products, cork and matte mirror cardstock

Today is the last day of Beccy's amazing event and I am trying to finish off my cards
for the thirty days of prompts.  . . . with only a few letters to go now,
the clock seems to be ticking ever so fast.

This 6 1/8" square card combine a CAS design with CORK, smooth cardstock, mirror cardstock, glitter cardstock, wooden holly leave and sparkling red rhinestones.  The 6" x 6" cork sheet is self-adhesive, so I adhered it to some smooth white cardstock, used my Perfect Layers Ruler to cut a 1/16" border and adhered the panel to a 6" square card base.  WOW - this is an exciting new-to-me product, so easy to use and it has such a wonderful texture.  I cut the centre white panel, adhered it to the mirror cardstock, trimmed to 1/4" with Perfect Layers Ruler, adhered to white cardstock then trimmed to 1/8" with the other Perfect Layers Ruler then adhered the panel to the cork.
I die cut the from sparkling red glitter cardstock and adhered it with liquid adhesive.  I finished it off by adding some wooden holly leaves and sparkling red rhinestones.
New-to-me is a fun prompt, I think I might have to play with cork and mirror cardstock again soon, maybe even try die cutting them . . . more New adventures are ahead.

Lots of contrast between the smooth white cardstock,
cork, mirror cardstock and glitter cardstock.

full details coming soon . . .
oops, nearly forgot to come back and update ...
