Hi friends! One more day until it's another new year! Can you even believe it? I can't! I'm gonna say - good job on making it through this past year. We did it! We made it! It's been a hard, crazy, mixed up time - that's for sure! But here we are on the brink of new opportunities and a fresh start. I am sending everyone a giant hug for the new year. I wish you nothing but peace, happiness, health and love in 2022. I do really hope that we get a break and we can get back to hanging out with our friends and having fun. Thank you so much for encouraging me this past year and for always showing me kindness and love. I am so grateful for all of you!!! This crazy crafting community is such a bright spot in all the darkness. Bless you and thank you! Happy New Year!
Before I forget!!! THE GREETERY is having a HUGE sale right now - for one more day! If there's something you've had your eye on, pop on over to check out the sale items! Yay!
I have one final card for 2021 to share with you! Of course, it's a New Year card! I went with a super muted and 'quiet' color palette and also a different sized card. I felt like making something just a bit different!! I used lots of kraft cardstock and lots of mixed embellishments to give the aura/feeling of champagne bubbles! Let me know what you think! The finished card is 6.5" x 3.5" and it's three layers of kraft. I distressed the edges and each layer is attached with foam tape so the card has lots of dimension and depth.
The main element is that AWESOME swirling stars die cut! Oh man, I love it!! All those stars are one die cut. I used it twice, once on each side of the card. The other main element is that beautiful script happy new year die. I used rich black cardstock to make it pop.
At first I had the script words directly onto the top card layer. But it felt like it needed something so I added a vellum circle to highlight it. I used my favorite gold paint to splash gold all over the card. Can you see it?
I went through my embellishment bins and found items in a 'champagne' color palette: gold, cream, bronze, clear... This is the first time I've tried mixing lots of different embellishments together and I have to say I really like it!! Seems super festive.
I die cut some gold stars to add onto the card and the vellum part.
Happy Happy Happy HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you! From my craft room to yours - happy 2022!!!
