A Glittery Thank You

Hello, it's Shirley today! Wow, it is so hard to believe the New Year is here. December just flew by so fast, I could almost hear "whoosh" as it went by.  I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas.

I made a thank you card for the challenge this week. I am sure everyone has a thank you card to send out for a Christmas gift or two.

I started making my card using a white card base. I cut a layer of  white card stock  and a piece glitter designer paper from my stash for the next layer. I used the Spellbinders  Large Classic Scalloped Ovals to cut an oval, from the designer paper. I attached it to the white card stock and to the card base. 

I cut two Memory Box Tall Chloe Stems from Silver glitter paper. I attached them to my card with Art Institute Clear Adhesive. I used the Impression Obsession Greeting Set to cut 'Thanks' from gold glitter paper. I used a small heart punch to punch a silver heart to layer on black hearts that were punched with the same punch. I chose to use the black hearts so make the silver heart show up better.  I used glittered ribbon to tie a bow and then attached the hearts.

There is still time to join our Classy Cards 'n Such challenge. Click on the Weekly Challenge tab on the right side of the blog. 

Thanks for stopping by!!! Until next time...

New Year . . . New You

For the last challenge of 2014, I decided it was time to look forward to 2015.

Mindy here, with my card that celebrates that it is Time for a New Year and a New You!  Many folks make resolutions at the New Year, but I don't have much luck at sticking with them. But then again, there is always next year.

I started by selecting a printed paper from the Frosted Lace paper pad by Wild Rose Studio. It is a perfect paper collection for the New Year, frosty, snowy, and lots of blue and teal colors. I matched the printed paper with a sheet of So . . .Silk Glamour Green specialty card stock that is featured in the Classy Cards n' Such online store. The So . . .Silk Glamour Green made a beautiful A2 size card base, and the print matched it beautifully. 

The timepiece I used was die cut from a Spellbinder's die that has been discontinued, but there are many other clock face dies and stamps available to choose from.

I die cut a lacy rectangle from the Radiant Rectangles die, also from Spellbinder's, from a white/gold specialty paper sheet. I used it as a background for my saying, Time 4 a New You! The letters and number die were from other dies I have in my stash.  To give them a little sparkle I brushed over them with my Clear Glitter Pen by Wink of Stella.

To finish my card I adhered the watch face with Large Foam Pads  by Joy!, a few organza flowers with Pearl centers, and a 2015 sticker to celebrate the New Year.  Happy New Year 2015 to all our friends, from Classy Cards n' Such!
