Today I will be sharing cards that I have made for the New Year Celebration. These are quite simple but carry a big punch.
I used the DCWV stack, Christmas creations, this is one of the photo real pages that are in the stack. I liked that it had the faded lights in the background, which is very trendy right now. I heat embossed with white Zing powder Happy New Year from the Hero Arts set CL498, which is year round greetings.
For the red card
I used the American Crafts red glitter tape as the accent piece with red cardstock from Michales' as the backing paper. The card measures at 5 x 5 total and the backing paper is at 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 with the image paper measuring a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2. This makes the edges pop out really well and of course gives room for the faux stitching. I used red gem stones from Michales' as well as the only real embellishment on the card
For the green card
I did the same with this card, but I had to make my own green stones by using a green Bic marker on clear stones.
A side note on this, I always show my cards to my husband to see if he likes what I made. He said that the paper reminded him of Saturday Night Live and that I should put a picture of Bill Murry in the upper left hand corner. He is so funny, however I do not wish to be sued by Bill Murry for the use of his likeness, so no I will not be doing that.
Thanks everyone for stopping by today, hope that you have a wonderful New Years' Celebration
