Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

With the New Year I have decided to try and create more cards.

I have enough materials...just ask my husband! LOL!!!

Here are two that I made using Martha Stewart's Butterfly Punch.

With this first one, I punched the butterfly out of various colored cardstock.

I then bent them in the middle a bit so that when I put them on the card, they will 'fly'.

Next,  I created the card base with Kraft cardstock, punched the top-right corner and added a cream colored cardstock that I stamped 'Thinking of You' in the bottom-right corner.

I then took the butterflies and glued the middle and placed them along the left side.

Here's the front of the card.

 Here's the inside.

I punched another butterfly and adhered it the same way on top.

Along with stamping a phrase.

 Since I had so much fun doing this card and it came out so well...

I decided to make another one with different colors.

So I punched out the butterflies with metallic colored cardstock and adhered them around.

The card base is a black cardstock with a gray cardstock on top with a stamped phrase.

 Side view:

Here is the inside.

Again, I added a punched butterfly to the top and stamped a phrase on the bottom.

 As usual...I have also done a manicure for the holidays.

It unfortunately didn't last long since it got messed up right after I took the picture below...

But I did get the picture! LOL!!!

Pretty basic...black base with glitter tips and accent nail.

Thought it was festive!

Again...I wish you all that you hope for in the New Year.

I am hoping to create and blog more...but I think I hope for that each year! LOL!!!

Take care and love to you all!
