Hello! Alison Heikkila here. Do you make New Year’s cards? I like to make them when it’s too late to send out Christmas, Hanukkah, etc. cards. It takes off a bit of pressure, but still shows folks we’re thinking about them. I’ve got a quick and fun card that’s perfect not just for New Year’s, but for other celebrations too.

Skill Level: Beginner-Intermediate
Time to Complete: 15-20 Minutes

Make A "Sending Good Vibes For 2019" New Years Card

The New Year is upon us. Wow! Where does time go? As we think about our New Year’s resolutions and plans; don’t forget to send well wishes to friends and family with this easy, fun and whimsical card using a few supplies.

Skill: Beginner

Directions


Step 1

Spray Fireworks Shimmery Craft Spray in Lady Bug, Bamboo Leaves, Summer Breeze and Dandelion over a stencil. Set aside to dry.


Step 2

Stamp the New Years sentiment. Another option is to print a sentiment or favorite quote out. This is what I have done in this case. I downloaded a free Hippy font style from the internet, added to my Microsoft Office software. I then, cut the sentiment, darkened the edges with VersaFine Clair in Nocturne. Finally, I adhered the sentiment onto the card using On Point Glue and finished assembling the card.
