Let's Celebrate the New Year...

...and drink champagne!

 

Happy New Years Eve stampers!

 

I don't know that I will be sipping on champagne tonight...I think I would get funny looks from everyone at the hockey game that we'll be going to.  But I couldn't resist using this fun sentiment for a New Year's card!

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Soft Sky, Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Vellum, Typeset DSP, Gold Glimmer

Ink ~ Soft Sky, Pool Party, Basic Black, VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ Balloon Celebration

Other Supplies ~ Balloon Bouquet Punch, Banner Punch, Baker's Box Thinlits (Starburst), Linen Thread, Sahara Sand Lace, Trim, Venetian Crochet Trim, Gold Sequin Trim, Gold Embossing Powder, Metallic Sequins, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Home for Christmas Enamel Dots

 

Holy smokes...it has been a long time since I have used so many different embellishments, punches and dies!  My craft desk was a little scary looking after I was done with this card!

 

I wish you all a safe and Happy New Year!!!

 

Happy Stamping!

Celebrate 2016

Happy, Happy Friday stampers!!!  This has been one long week for me and I am STOKED that the weekend is finally here!  We have a busy weekend ahead of us, but it will be a FUN one!
We are getting a head start on our New Years celebrating over at The Friday Mashup today.  I am the host this week with a festive New Years Theme with a mashup using Black, Silver and Gold colors.

You might be wondering where these fabulous numbers are coming from, right?!?!?  You will be able to get your hands on the VERY soon as they are in the upcoming Occasions Catalog.  The Number of Years stamp set and coordinating Framelits are awesome and were perfect for today's card!
With the help of the Magnetic Platform, I was able to line my numbers up just how I wanted them.  I used the negative images and popped them up on some Silver Glimmer paper...love it!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Basic Black, Silver Glimmer, Gold Glimmer

Ink ~ VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ Celebrate Today

Other Supplies ~ Large Number Framelits, Medium Star Punch, Itty Bitty Punch Pack (Star), Metallic Sequins, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

So...a sad story about the Celebrate sentiment...I had to walk away from my craft table while I was working on this card and in the time that I was away, my pesky cat got into things and carted the Celebrate stamp off, which my puppy ended up finding later and chewed one end off :(  I'm so bummed!!!  Guess that teaches me a lesson to clean up as I go and not leave anything out...or beg my hubby to put a door on my office!

That's all for now!  Hope to be back later this weekend with a few more new things to share.  Until then...

Happy Stamping!

Bring on 2013!

Happy New Year!  I hope you all had an awesome NYE night and rung in 2013 safely!  My hubby was working so the boys and I headed next door for some snacks and games with the crazy neighbors (AKA my parents!).  There was no way the little man was staying up until midnight, so I got him to bed then crawled in bed with my older boys and watched a movie.  We celebrated the New Year on East coast time and went to bed shortly after...perfect celebration in my eyes! 

I meant to get this post done last night, but my cozy bed and book won over.  Better late than never though, right?

So, here it is...2013.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I love this bright, cheerful color combo...perfect for a New Year Celebration card!  This color combo comes from the latest ColourQ Challenge.  I had to substitute a few colors, but they were pretty darn close.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Basic Gray, Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Lucky Limeade

Ink ~ Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Lucky Limeade

Stamp ~ New Years

Other Supplies ~ Rhinestones

Time for me to take advantage of the little ones nap time and get my supplies all cut out for my classes coming up at the end of this week.  And maybe if I get lucky, I'll have some time to get some more stamping done today.  I hope you do too!

Happy Stamping!
