Happy New Year

 Happy New Year--Welcome to 2026!

These 3 shiny cards are from the December Fun Time Thursday by The Paper Cut.  The class was called New Year/Celebrate. 

Reminder--these are not my own designs!  The cards are the designs of the other instructors from these classes.  I am just recreating the cards from the class. These creations are from Sarah and The Paper Cut in Appleton, WIS!

The cards were full of sparkle and shine with glitter cardstock, metallic cardstock and holographic cardstock too!  Sarah sent additional sentiments so we could make other themed cards, but I went with New Years type cards. All of the dies and stamp sets are from Brass & Bliss.  

 

Sarah offers many different kinds of classes through the year and kits can be ordered from their website.  I hope you enjoyed my cards!

Happy New Year

 

Today is the the 12th and it is time for another Hot Mess card. This card is number 56, so we are into year #5. The idea of Hot Mess ~ Success is to Get Messy and you will have Success!  Messiness can be almost anything that we come up with--glitter, alcohol inks, glimmer glitz, sponged backgrounds, etc., anything that is a bit messy.  We are a very fun group and will post a card each month on the 12th.  The links to the other members are on my left side bar and I will also link them at the bottom at this post.

For this month's messiness, I went with a New Year's theme, so I picked a Scrapbook.com two-piece stencil called Starburst.  For the burst layer, I picked Brutus Monroe Glitter Glaze in Perfect Plum.  Then, the stars and circles were made with TCW Stencil Butter in Champagne Gold.  

The Happy New Year image is an older single stamp from Stampin' Up.  I used Versamark ink and Brutus Monroe Gilded Gold Embossing Powder on Gorgeous Grape cardstock.  I die cut the image and the Gold Metallic Gold Backer with a set of Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangle dies.  There is a lot of sparkle and shine on this  card--perfect for a Happy New Year Card!  

                    

I really like the look of my card and hope you do too.  I also sure hope my fellow messy ladies like it too!  Here are the links to the other somewhat messy crafters:   Carol, Darlene, Jeanette and Terry.   I am sure you will enjoy seeing how everyone got messy this month and was successful in making some great cards!   Be sure to check back to see what we are up to in February!

Happy New Year

 

Happy, Happy New Year.  Welcome to 2024!

I wanted to make a card to celebrate and used a fun single Stampin' Up stamp from a number of years ago.  I stamped the image with Versamark and used Brutus Monroe Gilded Gold Embossing Powder on white cardstock.  I die cut the image and a backer of Gorgeous Grape from my Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangle dies.  The background is The Paper Cut's Metallic Gold cardstock and a Taylored Expressions Embossing Folder called Fireworks.  I also added some Stampin' Up Gold Cording behind the image.   There is a lot of shine on this card!

I also used this same stamp for an upcoming challenge, so be sure to check back later this month!

Happy Happy New Year!!!!!

I will be posting my Best of 2022 cards tomorrow, so please check back!

Today is a Sunday and the start of the New Year--Happy 2023!  And, I am going to revive one of my new personal challenges for 2022-Stampin' Up Sundays! I was able to do it twice in 2022--so here is to getting better at it in 2023!   At least once a month, I will be posting a card made with one of my many Stampin' Up stamp sets!  That is my plan and I really, really hope that I do stick to it.  This is a good start--January is done!  And--I even made two cards, so I might need to count one of them in a later month..................

This month, I made 2 cards using the Stampin' Up single cling stamp from a few years ago called New Year's. Both cards are stamped with Versamark and I used Silver Embossing Powder-it really does shine more in person!  I die cut the image and layer from Frame 3 Nesting, made by We R Memory Keepers. There is a strip of Vasic Black Shimmer Ribbon under the image. The fun silver backgrounds are from a sweet 6x6 Stampin' Up paper packed called Feels Like Frost.  I have used this package often lately for Christmas cards so now it is time for New Year cards!  The cardstock used is Stampin' Up Black and White or Gray along with The Paper Cut Silver Mirricard.

I hope you like my card and will check back in February when I post my second card in the series!  Crossing my fingers that really happens!

Happy New Year!

It is time for another The Three Musketeers post. We are ready to showcase the card we all created with the sweet Stamp Anniething Annie-Happy New Year  image Kelly sent out for January 2022, card #89! That means we are in the middle of year number 7 with this fun challenge!  All three of us sure have enjoyed the challenges every month and we hope that it continues for a long time! 

I colored the sweet image with my Copic Sketch Markers.  The background paper is from a new Stampin' Up Designer Series pack called Peaceful place.  I love the shimmery stars or snowflakes in the paper.  I layered the DSP on a piece of pretty Silver Mirricard from The Paper Cut and then decided to add a silver foil snowflake behind Annie.  This is die cut from the rather large Impression Obsessions!  I did not add any bling or embellishments to the card as I love the expression on Annie and wanted that to shine!  I hope Jeanette and Kelly along with you enjoy my card!

Here is the inside of my card, with a strip of the shiny background paper:

Please check out the other Musketeer's cards.  Here is the link to Jeanette's blog along with Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards!  They may post today or tomorrow, so be sure to check out their blogs for their card!   I am up for our February challenge.  Please be sure to join us again.

Final Big Grumpy of 2020

This is card #12 for my December One + 12 card!  This is a very fun, monthly challenge with Kelly and Jeanette to use one stamp only, each month, for one + 12!  For 2020, I used my Taylored Expressions image called Big Grumpy.  I am able to add one of the coordinating sentiments from the set.  I think he is a hoot!  

This month I am getting ready for 2021!  For my final card, the sentiment is from Big Grumpy Farewell 2020 Sentiment Set.  I colored Big Grumpy with my Copic Sketch Markers and used the matching die to cut him out. This sentiment is perfect to end 2020--I do want to be sure to ring in 2021!!!!!  The background paper is from Pebbles Just Married Stripe and I also have a layer of gold foil--for a bit of sparkle and shine!  I added a few gold sequins.  I have made a few New Year cards with these funny sentiments and will be mailing some at the end of 2020 to my friends!

Here is the inside of my card:

Please be sure to check out the other One plus Twelve cards.  Here are links to Jeanette's and Kelly's blogs. I am sure you have enjoy checking out the one stamp set each of them picked for 2020 and will see a couple of great cards!
