Clearly Besotted Teasers | Christmas Critters

Hello there and welcome to day one of the Clearly Besotted December 2020 Teasers. Release day is 1st December (8pm GMT) and from now until then, we will be sharing teasers with you using the new sets. For my card today, I am using the new Year Of You set. This set is geared towards Chinese New Year but as you can see, you can use the critters for lots of different occasions.  

I started off by die cutting a tag from the Clearly Besotted Tag Along Die Collection four times - twice from white cardstock and twice from paper from the MFT Very Merry Paper Pad. I adhered the patterned paper to the white tags for more stability. I then cut two hearts from MFT Red Hot and Summer Splash Cardstock, using the Hero Arts Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies. I also cut the tag hole reinforcer from the same cardstock. The hearts were then cut down on the edges using the same tag die and adhered on top of the tags using tape runner and the hole reinforcers added with liquid glue.

I took the little hat from the new Clearly Besotted Dog Years Stamp Set and stamped it on to white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I made masks for them and then stamped the pig and monkey from the Clearly Besotted Year Of You Stamp Set underneath so it looks like they are wearing the hats. I coloured them using Copic Markers (the colours that I used are listed below the supplies area) and fussy cut them out using scissors. I took the 'Merry Christmas' sentiment from the Clearly Besotted Tiny Type Stamp Set and stamped it on to black cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set, they were then cut down using MFT Skinny Strips Die-namics. 

The sentiments and critters were added to the tags with foam tape. I then took the holly and berries image from the Clearly Besotted Present A Plushie Stamp Set and stamped it on to more white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I coloured them with Copic Markers, fussy cut them out and added them to the tags with tape runner. To finish off, I added twine through the top of the tags and added Lucy's Bubbles on the hearts. I also added Tonic Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the berries and Tonic Nuvo White Blizzard Glitter Drops to the hats.
