PRIZES

 

And, since it's New Year's I want to share a project with you! I made a super fun snowman New Year card! I bought this awesome stamp set (So Many Snowmen) for making Christmas cards, but it never got inked. Well…I thought… Let's make those cute snow people into a winter New Year card! They look just like the crowd at Times Square! LOL. I colored them with Copic Markers and created a pretty Distress Ink snowy background for them! All the supplies are linked below in this post.

 

Mama Elephant So Many Snowmen. Happy New Year Card. Distress Ink background

 

This is an A2 sized card. The snowmen stamp is wider than an A2 so I trimmed it to fit onto the front of this card. Also, the stamp has some Christmas specific images in it that I wanted to crop out for this occasion. I colored the snowmen in with Copic Markers. I added top hats to the snow peeps on the top row using the extra little stamp that comes in the set. The numbers were die cut from sparkly silver cardstock for an icy look! The Happy New Year sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with white powder. The background was made using my two fav colors of Distress Inks! Then I splattered some Copic Opaque White for snow! I love how it came out!

So Many Snowmen Mama Elephant

 

See that one little snowman that is popped up with some foam tape in the middle? Well, he's covering up some holly leaves on the other guys' hat!!! My husband thought of that idea! LOL. He's a good crafty husband! 

Snowman Card! Mama Elephant Copic Coloring

 

See the holly? That's where the other snowman face went!

New Year Card. Distress Ink background Simon Says Stamp Numbers dies

 

I mounted the snowmen to the card using foam tape. I also used foam tape for the numbers and the sentiment. Just makes everything pop a bit! I added a few sparkly gems and bits of Wink Of Stella to make it pretty!

    I love this card. My craft room is 95% organized, so my resolution is to “play’ in it every day. Since I am retired I have that option. I plan to start making Christmas Cards immediately. I want to make at least 5 cards a month using a different set of “toys” each month. I love this snowman card.

    Wanda, what a fab idea from your husband (they are useful sometimes – LOL) and the card is absolutely adorable. I have liked this stamp set but thought it was only suitable for Christmas cards, I might have to look at it in a different light now you have used it for a New Year’s card too. You have been very generous in your ‘Give-Away’ so thank you so much. I am a fairly new crafter so I am building up my stash slowly but my New Year’s crafting resolution is to use up all the card stock and DSP I have bought or accumulated last year before purchasing any new stock. But that leaves more money to purchase more dies and stamps (do you like my thinking?) Happy 2018! :O)

    What an adorable card, Wanda!

My 2018 will be all about finding a balance between my family life and my crafty life – I am expecting a new baby any day now, so it will be a challenge, but I’m sure I can manage! I also want to work on my Copic colouring, and learn how to colour with coloured pencils.
    Have a great day!

    Wanda it is because of this blog today that I’ve been introduced to your lovely talents. I have subscribed to your blog and became a follower on instagram. I had a little peak back at some of your older post and you have really done some beautiful work. I love the snowmen card and your husband how clever is he for coming up with a great solution with the snowman’s hat. As to your question my crafty resolution this year is to be more organized, than what craziness I just went through this Christmas. The way I plan to do this is by every month coming up with 2-3 different styles of card fronts that are easily mass produced and make approximately 6 to 12 of each style. Hoping by December of next year I will have many cards to give as sets of gifts to my caregivers like my nurses, doctors, therapists and social worker. Thus avoiding all the stress I just went through and I am still trying to recover from. Lyme disease and stress do not mix well together, really stress does not mix well with anything. Well, I would like to wish you a very merry, happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Can’t wait to see what you have planned for 2018, take care. Kari

    Another adorable card. I love all things snowmen. And it does remind me of all the people in Times Square last night. But, before I buy yet another adorable stamp, my plan is to make at least one card from all the new stamps I bought the last few months. Right now my craft room looks like a bomb went off in there. My plan is to get in there today and get it put back together after the Christmas rush to make my Christmas cards. Happy New Year to you and yours. I look forward to more inspiration from all you talented ladies.

I want to start mixed media journaling and a you tube channel with card making videos. But the main focus is getting organized so i can actually craft. Not being organized is the main drag on my creativity.

    Those are awesome prizes! One of my crafting resolutions is to start thinking out of the box more when I’m making projects. I tend to be very linear and finite when making my projects, and I need to become a little (lot) more open to using other techniques, patterns, and ideas that stretch me outside of my crafting comfort zone.

    My crafty resolution for this year is to begin stamping and cardmaking. I’ve ordered what I feel are my necessities,i.e. Big Shot, various papers, embossing gun, stamps, powders, stamp blocks, etc…i feel like it’s a lot but I know it’s only enough to get me started! I thought my handlettering resolution/success from last year cost me quite a bit. However, I’m realizing it’s nowhere near as much as this new hobby will. Lol

    My 2018 crafty resolution is to 1) just play and have fun practicing new techniques (alcohol inks, embossing paste, coloring); 2) use the mountain of products that I’ve bought but not used; and 3) learn to take better pictures and actually post them to my IG feed.
    I love seeing what all of my crafty idols have made (I admired your work for years in card making magazines back before there was internet), then I go load up my shopping carts, and never create.
