The "Cheers 2016" Stamp of the Month Stamp Set is a great stamp proving lots of choice, especially if you enjoy making Uplifting positive cards to send to friends and family. 
When deciding what I was going to create for this blog hop, I wondered how well I followed through with my thoughts to send a Cheers card to welcome in the New Year!
The idea for this card was created to do just that! 
Lovely little 4" x 4" cards to send to my family and friends 
to welcome in 2016!


Items used to create these cute 4" x 4" cards

Tips to recreate this card:
Cut White cardstock - 4" x 8"
[you will get 4 cards from 1 sheet of 12x12]
Pre-cut Party Hat and Shadow from Artistry Cartridge
Line up the Party Hat Shadow & Stamp Cheers & 2016
Place the front of the card in the embossing folder & dry emboss
Adhere the Party Hat Shadow then the Party Hat to the front of the card
Add the circles, hearts, stars from the Gold Assortment
Stamp sentiment inside of the card
Finish with a CTMH Angel Policy Stamp on the back

The Gold Fundamental Assortments are a new item added to our Annual Inspirations and it's one of those new items, until you use them, you don't realise just how lovely they are and what a nice impact the little gold stickers made to the card! Stars, circles, and a tiny little heart!

Cheers 2016 is available exclusively throughout November for $27 or 
for just $7.50 with a purchase of $75. 

Thank you, I hope you have enjoyed the Cheers 2016 card!

The Twinkle Stamp of the Month Stamp Set - is adorable - just love every stamp in the set and it's one Stamp of the Month - everyone needs to have!

These pages were created using some of the new card stock colours introduced in August as well as Heat Embossing!

Here is a close up of some of the embellishments I've included on the double page layouts above!

Using the Fern Thick Twine, I knotted it on the end, cut 
 inches off the roll, divided into two, and knotted every 1". After stamping the banner stamp, I used Liquid Glass and followed the stamp image, laying the knotted twine along the image.
