Happy New Year! A new set of numbers!

Hi everyone!  Wishing you a Happy New Year!  I hope 2017 brings you plenty of health and happiness and of course, time to make and send cards!

You know how sometimes you don't get Christmas cards in the mail for everyone?  I have two friends living overseas and I know that I missed the deadline for Christmas mail for them.  So rather than send nothing, I opted for new year's cards.  (I will find any excuse to send a card!)

These cards use Large Numbers Framelits and the 'Happy' is from the co-ordinating Number of Years stamp set.

And then I decided to send some happy 2017 cards to local people too!  Tucked in behind those numbers if the Festive Textured Embossing Folder....and festive it is!

If you missed my last post, I featured a number of cards (pun intended) using the Number of Years set and framelits. 

You can check them out HERE.

Playing with Numbers

I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas!!  I am getting back into the swing of things - I miss being creative!  It's something I never get tired of.

I have had lots of reasons to use numbers on cards lately so thought I would show you some of my creations. 

Our neighbour's grandson turned 1 just before Christmas so I made this simple card.  The colours of the Festive Birthday DSP were a perfect combo- Emerald Envy and Tempting Turquoise. 

It's so easy to create cards for specific occasions using the Number of Years stamp set.  Here's another, again using Festive Birthday - this is a really festive colour combo!?

And then a more sophisticated combination of black and silver for a 70th card.  No stamping of the numbers required this time - the numbers were cut out of Silver Glimmer.

The Number of Years stamp set and matching framelits are a great investment for card making and scrapbooking.  I love the watercolour look of the stamps and the framelits are useful on their own!

I used the Number of Years stamp set and matching Framelits dies to create this card for a special anniversary.

The layout inspiration came straight from the catalogue. 

I love the size of these numbers - they become the main feature of the card. 

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Birthday Bouquet DSP
Stamps:  Number of Years (page 11 of the Occasions catalogue)
Tools:  Large Numbers Framelits Dies
Ink:  Rose Red, Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, Wild Wasabi

CASEing the CEO

As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I have access to so many resources online where fellow demonstrators share their creations.

Shelli Gardner, the CEO of Stampin' Up! recently shared a wedding card which she created and I CASEd it for a birthday card.  I fiddled around with colours but ended up choosing the same colour combo as Shelli.

And of course, I added numbers.

 

 

Supplies are listed below!  Come back tomorrow and I will show you another variation.  You can check out Shelli's card HERE.

 

Thanks for stopping by!
