A Year of Peace

Hello Classy friends! Diane here with you today and wishing you Peace On Earth for the coming year.

This week at Classy Cards 'n Such, our challenge theme is Time For A New Year. To use something new and add some glitter or bling( all in good taste, of course)!! 

It's funny how you can get an idea in your head, then head completely go in another direction, which is what I did with this card!!


My NEW is the Dreamweavers Peace On Earth embossing folder. I used that as the entire base of my card.

I die cut a Memory Box Woodland Deer from 
Champaign Neenah Pearlized Metallic 105# card stock. To his majestic antlers, I added Memory Box Precious Stars and a few snowflakes from Impression Obsession Small Snowflake set.


To add a bit of color to the top, after rounding off the corners, I cut my own Sequins using My Favorite Things Sequins die, from the same Champaign Neenah Pearlized Metallic 105# card stock I used for the deer.

Have a Safe and Peaceful New Years everyone!!!

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!
