Trendy Twine - Happy New Year {Party}

Happy New Year!

Is it really 2016??? I guess it is and it's my first post of the year, and you can find me greeting our friends as well over on the Trendy Twine Blog too!

 I created a fun little shaker New Year's card for you using Frosty Sequin Mix and Bubblegum Trendy Twine.

Nothing says party like sequins and the Frosty Sequin Mix is so pretty and fun and perfect for this little party in a card!

2016- Happy New Year {The Kraft Journal}

Hello Friends!

This is a bitter sweet post for me! I've been with The Kraft Journal a few years and The Kraft Journal has decided to close it's doors, but The Kraft Outlet remains open. They have been wonderful to me over the years and they are very FAMILY focused and have been a dream to design for. 2016 also will be a new beginning for me as I decide to head back to school and I will find less time to craft myself in the coming year as I concentrate on school.

So for my last care in 2015 and for The Kraft Journal,

I began this New Year's card with a card base of Brown Kraft cardstock. I pieced together patterned papers from a designer paper pack and joined them by wrapping around a length of Natural Twill Tape and tying in a bow further embellishing with a double bow made from Black Baker's Twine which I topped with an Icon Flatback. 

Using Buff Ivory Cardstock, I cut a rounded stitched rectangle using a die and distressed edges with inks. I cut out 2016 from Blackboard Stockpaper adding to the rectangle embellishing with three black gems followed by stamping Happy New Year in black ink. Lastly, I die-cut an arrow and popped it up facing the year.  All other stamps and dies are by My Creative Time

It truly has been wonderful designing for The Kraft Journal using fabulous products for The Kraft Outlet the last several years.

Happy New Year {The Kraft Journal #204}

Good Morning on this last week of 2014!  Can you believe it? I sure can't. I hope you all had a nice Christmas!

I am sharing with you a card for The Kraft Journal.  Our new challenge this week: Happy New Year!  We want to see your New Year Creations using either Kraft cardstock or products from the The Kraft Outlet. 

I started this card by piecing together the patterned papers and adding them to the base of Blackboard Stock Paper.  I die-cut a Stitched Vintage label from My Creative Time and placed it to center of the card.  The word Celebrate also from My Creative Time was die-cut using Blackboard Stock Paper and placed in the middle of the label.  

Next, I took a toothpick and created a flag from Black and White Polka Dot Washi Tape wrapping it with Metallic Hemp Cord.  To the right of the flag, I added a Black Wooden Clothespin to hold the Metallic Hemp cord.  I then stamped the Happy New Year sentiment on a stitched label and placed in the lower left of the card front. Lastly, I just added a few embellishing touches to include a glitter star made from chipboard and a few silver sequins scattered about. 

Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other talented ladies.  We hope to see your Happy New Year creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.

Wishing you all a wonderful final week into 2014~

Blessings,

The Ribbon Reel #67 - Happy New Year!

So, it's time for our next monthly challenge at The Ribbon Reel: Michelle is our host and she ask that you use the inspiration photo to "Ring In the New Year" plus gold, silver, and ribbon.

Here is what I have created for the new challenge.

The Ribbon Reel Supplies:

Gold Leaf Pins

Natural Button Twine

I started by piecing together my patterned paper to my silver glitter cardstock onto which I adhered to a base of Buff Ivory Cardstock. I added a border of tinsel glitter to the Buff Ivory Cardstock rectangle to create a frame.  A Vintage Angel image was printed and fussy cut from cardstock and placed in the center of my glitter framed with foam mounting tape for dimension. Happy New Year was stamped (DeNami Design) in black ink below the Angel. A fussy bow of gold and silver May Arts ribbon was added to the upper left corner embellished with bells, and Gold Leaf Pins. Further embellishing consisted of German Glass Glitter Stars, buttons, and ribbon trimmings.

Here is the inspiration photo Michelle is sharing with us for inspiration.

Please head over to The Ribbon Reel Challenge Blog for additional information and to see what the other talented ladies have created for you.  We hope you join us in the gallery over the next two weeks for your chance to win some Ribbon Reel goodness.

Paper Sweeties PSIC15 - Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

It's hard to believe a new year is upon us! I've been with Paper Sweeties one year today! Woohoo! It seems like it was just yesterday that I was writing my first Paper Sweeties Inspirational Challenge Post. Well, it's the first of the month and a new Inspirational Challenge at Paper Sweeties.

Here is my card for the new challenge.

I started by piecing together my patterned papers adding a strip of black and white damask ribbon to the center. I was inspired by the darling snowmen outfit the cutie has on in the inspirational photograph. I went with the snowman from Snow Friends.  I gave him a little snow sparkle with some dazzling diamonds glitter and then I placed Mr. Frosty on a snowflake cut from felt. 

I masked the sentiment from Occasions Stamp Set to fit my stitched label. 

Please be sure to visit the other Paper Sweeties Inspiration Design Team Gals to see what fabulous creations they have created for your viewing pleasure. We have some new additions to the Paper Sweeties Family.

Snowflakes and more Snowflakes

Happy Monday Morning to you!

How are your holiday preparations going?

If you are looking for The Kraft Journal post, I will be back with one next week. The Kraft Journal is taking a week off for the Christmas Holiday. However, I have a sweet little greeting to share with you this morning. I usually don't send many New Years Cards, but I thought I would share one I have made for you today. 

I started with a base of Medium Kraft Cardstock which I added a piece of embossed snowflake patterned paper to a panel of white embossed cardstock adding a length of pink ric rac trim in the center.

A layered tag was die-cut adding a Happy New Year sentiment. For the falling snow on the tag I used DeNami Design Small Dot Square in blue ink. A fussy bow was created embellished with an aqua button, and glittered bells. I die-cut a snowflake and I added some glitter for a touch of winter glitz. I took the Medium Brushed Snowflake and stamped it in Versa Fine Ink onto a circle cut from Medium Kraft Cardstock adding aqua embossing powder which was heat set. 

Inspiration for this card came from Curtain Call - Sweet Snowflakes.

Happy New Year 2011!!

Hello Dear Friends!


I just wanted to pop on to say I wish you all a very Happy start to your New Year! I hope this year finds contentment in all that you do. I am going to try my best to remember my own advice as the first fourth of our year will be a little out of the norm for our family. Looking at the positives like being able to be with family is such a joy which we have missed out on for 9 years living so far away. Looking forward to experiencing living in a different part of the country soon and seeing what it has to offer.  


So, with that said, in 2011, I wish you MUCH JOY, LOVE, and CONTENTMENT in your heart without limit! 


Happy New Year!
~Tammy~
