I didn't need another Rosh Hashana card as I made one for our daughter and family already. But after MONTHS of not purchasing any new paper crafting supplies I placed a couple of orders. One of my new goodies is the 'Little Book of Bees' - a thick pad of ~4x6" printed panels with different bee scenes. I think there are four of each design - it's the same as the 'Little Book of Muddy Paws' that I use all the time to make dog themed cards. I thought this panel would make a cute Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) card and this is what I came up with. I've decided to give this one to our daughter and hang onto the previous one for next year. 😊
I trimmed the bee panel slightly then matted it with brown cardstock so the panel measured 4 x 6". Then I cut a 5 x 7" piece of transparency and scored approx 1/2" from each edge. I mitred the corners then added strong double sided adhesive to each of the transparency edges. Those edges were wrapped around to the back side of the bee panel and three sides adhered down securely. I added some sequins to the front, turned it over and stuck down that remaining side. Ta Da ... an infinity shaker (also called edge to edge shaker).
Using a hexagon stencil and distress oxide inks, I added some colour to the top left and bottom right corners of a Kraft card base before adhering down the shaker. I have these gold foiled bee stickers so added them to the envelope and also onto the front of the shaker. They almost disappear but catch the light when you turn the card.
Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
