Happy New Year

Time for another crafting session!  The Cricket is on the TV, air-con on, nibbles and wine is flowing ... what more could a girl want!

 

I am very late with my December swap cards for CraftMad Swappers :)

Card#1 - Merry Christmas

 

Using a Kraft cardbase, ribbon was added across the middle with glue, Scrap Boys 'Christmas Day' DP was die-cut using WaffleFlower A6 Layer dies and added to cardbase.  KaiserCraft Christmas Tree was stamped on green cardstock, heat embossed with VersaMark & clear embossing powder, then die-cut with a slightly smaller Waffle Flower A6 Layer die.

A final touch of bling added at bottom of card.   I couldn't find the right sentiment stamp, so I used my new T-square ruler and wrote it by hand.

 

This card was inspired by a 2016 Sketch from my CraftMad swap group.

 

Card#2 - Happy New Year

 

Using a handmade stencil cut with Spellbinders circle dies, I ink blended some random 'bubbles', highlighted with white gel pen for the background, which was then trimmed with Waffle Flower A6 layer dies, and added to Navy cardbase.

SugarPea 'Cheers to You' Champagne bottle and glasses stamped in black and clear heat embossed, hand coloured with Copics, then die cut with matching dies, placed strategically on cardfront.  Gold PeelOff stickers '2025' added, and a final touch of Kindy Glitz added for sparkle.

This Card was inspired by the CraftMad Swappers December TicTacToe - Diagonal Down L-R - Numbers, Gold, Sparkle
