Hi everyone! Happy New Year wishes! Sending you love and good vibes on this first day of 2023! Can you believe it?! Another year just flew by!! I have high hopes for 2023 and I hope we all have a wonderful year ahead. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your love and support in 2022. I am so grateful for all of you and your kindness and encouragement. This is my happy place, and you guys are a big part of it. Always a kind word and a little note to keep me going. I love sharing my joy of creativity with you and I'm hoping we can do some fun things in 2023. I don't know what's going to happen but I'm optimistic! Let's do this!!
I have a fun and sparkly new year's card to share with you today! I used a simple color palette of gold, white and kraft to make this one! Oh, and lots of stars! The finished card is an A2 card base. I layered woodgrain for a bit of texture, then a white embossed layer, and then all the good stuff. I used products old and new from my stash....
I started by die cutting lots of stars from vellum, gold paper and kraft paper. Then I embossed my white layer with a stars embossing folder. I splattered on some gold metallic paint over the white layer and let that dry.
I die cut the numbers from kraft cardstock.... And I die cut those pretty words from gold cardstock!
I mixed and matched all the paper stars until I had a layout that I liked, then I attached them to the card with foam squares to pop them up a little bit. For the finaly touches, some white paint, white enamel dots, gold sequins and mirrored stars... I just kept adding things!
I do really love the vellum and gold together - super classy! Reminds me of champagne and a party!
Again, Happy Happy Happy New Year! My hope is for a new year full of love and peace and joy and faith!! Have a wonderful week. I don't really do new year resolutions but I've been thinking about a lot of things, especially coming out of the pandemic, and making plans to be more intentional with my time and to nurture my friendships more. What are you pondering as we enter the new year? I would love to know. Lots of love, and see you soon! XOXO

Happy New Year! Your card is beautiful; I really like all the elements on your card and how the colors are so festive. I think I'd like to be more intentionally kind. I try not to be unkind but that's not always the same as being kind.
