DRU - More HAPPY New Year Cards

 Hello crafty friends,

Since we're still in January and I feel it's totally exactable to wish people "HAPPY NEW YEAR" throughout the month of January, I'm back with two more "HAPPY NEW YEAR" cards today. 

For the above card I used Grand Hour Glass die by Poppystamps and the Roman Clock by Frantic Stamper.  The Roman Clock is not currently available, but the IO Clock Face die is.  

I started by die cutting the clock and using it as a stencil over my card front.  Next, I die cut the body of the hour glass to create my shaker window.  I backed the window with acetate and added tiny gun metal and black star sequins.  I also added a hand written "HAPPY NEW YEAR" message inside the hour glass shaker.  Once my shaker card front was attached to my card, I glue sections of the inked clock to the card, overlapping the hour glass in some places.

I stayed with hour glass theme, this time using the Small Hour Glass by Poppystamps and the Happy Happy Happy by Frantic Stamper. 

I created five small hour glass shakers and top the card with the Happy Happy Happy sentiment.  

On the inside of both cards I used the Happy New Year die from Merry Christmas set by Impression Obsession.  I also created a stencil from the Grand Hour Glass to ink both cards.

Here's a side by side of the Grand Hour Glass and the Small Hour Glass dies.

DRU - Happy 2021

 Hello crafty friends,

I hope everyone had a nice end to 2020.  

For my first Design Team card for 2021 I wanted to make a Happy New Year card, but my go to Happy New Year die by Impression Obsession wasn't going to give my the look I wanted, which was a block style stand alone "happy" that I could cover the front of the card with.  

I ended up using the "happy" from the Happy Mother's Day die by Impression Obsession, it wasn't exactly want I wanted, but close enough.  I colored several pieces of scrap mixed media paper and die cut it my happies. I die cut a circle opening to show my stamped inside card image (Newton Celebrates)  

Until next time... Take care.
