2017 Happy New Year

Hi to all my crafty friends and a Happy New Year to you, I hope it's a wonderful year for us all.

Today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing my inspiration with the fun 2017 Shaker Die and have added the sentiment that comes with it. This die would also look amazing recording any special memory for this year, a special birthday, the birth of a baby and a graduation to name a few.

I added the Happy New Year confetti into my shaker along with a mix of micro beads and added a shadow layer to 2017 to make it pop.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you feel inspired to making a shaker card, Cheery Lynn have a brilliant selection of these dies you can check out HERE.

Until next time,

Crafty Hugs,

New Year Bells

Hi everyone, today I am showcasing some more dies from Cheery Lynn's fabulous new release on my Festive card. In Scotland as the time changes from one Year to the next at midnight we associate this with hearing bells and fondly name it "The Bells". So I decided to combine the Happy New Year with The Christmas Bells onto my card.

My Happy New Year was layered twice for a shadow effect adding on my party hats which had been embossed with Red Tinsel Embossing Powder. Finishing with some snow accents using a Snow Writer pen and Glamour Dust for added sparkle.

I sprinkled a scattering of Frantage on my Holly Leaves, shaded my Berries with Distress inks adding Glossy Accents for a realistic look. My bells were shaded in two colours of Gold Pens adding a little Archival ink to give them an aged feel. I layered up with foam tape for some extra dimension. I also think the bells would look amazing on a Wedding card.

Thanks for stopping by today to see my post and I do hope you get some Creative Time over the coming week to enter the Current Challenge - Back to Nature over at Cheery Lynn Designs with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree.

Have a lovely weekend, 

Crafty Hugs,
