Getting Ready for the New Year

Now that Christmas is over, I am all ready to move on to making Valentines! But Eve said that it is too early to start making Valentines, so I decided to make a New Year’s card with this week’s Stamping411 sketch.

I used Night of Navy and Silver as my main colors, because I don’t have any Black satin ribbon. I think I need to fix that soon! I used my VersaMarker on the edge of the white circle and embossed it with silver. I need to work on that technique a little more, it came out a bit splotcher than I would like. But it still adds the shimmer that I wanted.
Stamps: Cheers to You, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Night of Navy, So Saffron, VersaMarker
Paper: Night of Navy, Brushed Silver, Whisper White
Other: 1 3/4″ Circle Punch, 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch, Night of Navy 5/8″ Satin Ribbon, Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch, Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Basic Rhinestones, Silver Embossing Powder, Big Shot
This card is a 4 1/4″ square, so it can still fit in a regular envelope. I hope the New Year brings you all that you desire!












Love it!!!!I’m going to have to pull those glasses out…..this is a great idea!!!
What a beautifully elegant New Year’s card!
Great combo of that embossing folder and the toasting glasses! Very ‘New Years Eve’!
I love it!
Way to cute!!
Clink! I love the VM/embossed edge of the circle. Must get out that pen again!
Love this! They’re forecasting wintry weather for our New Year’s eve. So, your background is perfect!!!
Great card-love it!!
Great idea for a New Year’s card! Love the clinking glasses with snowflakes, it reminds me of going to Boston for New Year’s Eve a couple of years ago and it was SO freezing cold (but fun!)!!!
Fantastic card. We need more New Year’s. I may have to err borrow this one.
Ooooo, love the embossed brushed silver! What a great card!!! I’m going to have to wing it on glasses for my New Year’s cards, maybe something done with a punch, since I still don’t have that set.
Happy New Year to you as well, Yapha! Great card — love the snowflake embossing — I wouldn’t have thought of that but it’s perfect! Great job and thanks for playing along at Stamping 411 this week! Blessings, Gretchen
Oh this is stinkin cute! I love the champagne glasses!
