There are only two more days until the September Lunar New Year Challenge closes so I wanted to sneak in one more inspiration card for this month! While I was making Halloween cards I discovered that there was a snake in the Spellbinders Halloween Icons Press Plate & Die Set.
I was getting worried about the lack of snake products for the Year of the Snake which begins on January 29, 2025! I'm not a fan of snakes but I became excited after discovering this snake. Naturally, I decided to heat foil it with Speckled Aura Hot Foil on a Perfect Touch Rectangle cut from Lipstick Red cardstock.
There are certain numbers that are considered good luck and two is one of them so I foiled the snake once, flipped the cardstock 180 degrees and foiled it again. The sentiment is from a holiday set called A Merry Little Christmas Sentiments and it was heat foiled with Matte Gold Hot Foil on Nectar cardstock.
I cut the base panel from Schoolhouse Red cardstock using the largest Precision Layering A2 A Die and I had to use partial die cutting with a Precision Layering A2 B Die to create the perfect shape for the sentiment, which is popped on with foam squares for visual interest. Next month, I'll be sharing a card with this same snake press plate but heat foiled eight times. What can you find in your stash that would work for the Year of the Snake?
