Happy New Year!

I hope all of you enjoyed your Holiday Season and rang in the New Year in a memorable way!  Wishing you all the best for 2014.  I was a little late getting a start on my Christmas cards so at the last minute I ended up making some Happy New Year cards.  The above card is what I made.  I always have fun with the embossing technique.  Whether it is using an embossing folder with the Big Shot or heat embossing with Embossing Powder, the results always make me smile.

What is your New Year's Resolution?  I would love to hear about it.  Please feel free to post in on my stamping blog.  I have a couple this year!  One of them is to send more cards out.  :)  I always start good and then end up forgetting or not sending them.  Especially masculine type cards.  So my Stamping New Years resolution is to send more cards to people to help brighten their day.  Which means posting more of my creations on my stamping blog which then in turn hopefully inspires you.

Happy New Year!

Last night I was making some New Year's Eve note cards for someone.  This is what I came up with.  Thought I would post it to my stamping blog as my last post and project upload for 2012. Hard to believe 2013 is just around the corner.

The stamping technique I used in both is Embossing.  The numbers are embossed in the above picture and the numbers and champagne glasses are embossed in the picture below.  If you look at the numbers really closely you will see that they have two-tones.  This is has got to be one of my fav techniques.  I love embossing and by adding another color this is what you get....Two-Toned Embossing.   :)
