Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Can you believe it's the last Saturday of 2018? Winter is upon us for the next 4 months. It's a good time to do some crafting. And, to help with that we are having a big after Christmas sale. You can get some great deals on CottageCutz dies. Check out the online store here.
For your viewing pleasure today, I have created a New Years card, and I used the Ring in the New Year die. I like to make a few New Year's cards and then send them out to friends I missed at Christmas. I always seem to get two or three cards on Christmas Eve from people I didn't send a card to.
This die is also on sale at 40% off. It's a die that can have multiple uses. It's not strictly relegated to just a New Years card. So let's get started on how I created this card.
Step 1: I chose my card colors of black, silver and gold. I had a small piece of designer paper that I cut from an invitation I received. And, I think it works well with my card elements.
Black card base: 4" x 5 1/2"
Silver layering panel: 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
Designer paper layer: 3 7/16" x 5"
I cut my image items in gold cardstock. I really like that the 4 x 6 CottageCutz dies are one piece. I simply placed my gold cardstock on the die and cut out what I needed. For the champagne glasses I used vellum paper and some gold glitter paper.
Step 2: Now that all the card elements are cut, time to start assembly. I used double sided tape to attach the card base and the layers.
For the images I used a combination of Ranger multi matte adhesive and rolled up glue dots. The glue dots help to give it a bit of dimension.
To finish off my card I scattered a few gold sequins on the bottom of the image panel. Well, that's it for me for this post. I hope I have given you an idea on a way to use this card. Here is a link to another card I created using this die. Happy New Year everyone!
