Happy New Year! - Imaginisce

Hello blogging friends! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas.

Wow, where did the year go? I cannot believe 2015 is coming to an end already ... as is my time designing for Imaginisce! But, after three years, it is time to say goodbye. I will always have a special place in my heart for my Imaginisce papers and tools. My very first publication was an Imaginisce layout in Scrapbook and Cards Today! 

Do you all have your New Year's plans made? Hubby and I like to spend a quiet New Year's at home now. Oh, there will still be champagne ... just not all the noise from party goers. Some of my favorite New Year's Eve gatherings were with our neighbors who moved south this year to escape the cold Minnesota winter. Hopefully, sending them a Happy New Year card instead of a Christmas card will remind them of those happy times too. My box card base makes use of a SVGcuts digital file. But I modified the inside pieces to make it more suitable for New Year's. 

Box cards fold flat for mailing, but I really love how they can be displayed for enjoyment by the receiver. You can see I used my i-Rock to add some gemstones to bling it up. I love how it turned out.

 

 

Supplies:

Imaginisce : Pattern Papers (Happy Traveler, Family Fun), i-Rock, Clear Gemstones

American Crafts: Cardstock

SVGcuts Summer Box Card digital file

Xyron adhesive

Pink Stamper stamp "CHEER"

Silhouette "Happy New Year" and "Champagne glasses" are available in their library

Have a Boo-tiful Day - Top Dog Dies

Hello blogging friends.

I am having so much fun with the new Top Dog Dies! I LOVE all the new Halloween dies. They are so much fun. Today I created a shaker card using the Top Dog Dies Haunted House die set.

Don't you just love this! Here is the card I created...

I created a water color sky and moon background for my shaker card and arranged some die cut bats over the moon where they would get noticed. Some headstones are inside the shaker in the lower left and a few more are on the outside. I stamped my sentiment on using Quick Quotes chalk ink pad in white. It really stands out on the black cardstock.

Supplies:
Top Dog Dies Haunted House die set
Pattern Paper: Jillibean Soup
Cardstock
Acetate
Googly eyes of assorted sizes
Foam tape
orange twine
A Flair for Buttons: Folk Art Halloween Flair
Pink Stamper Halloween Stamp set

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check out all the new dies in the Top Dog Dies store.
