November's Stamp of the Month set: New Year's Cheer

As quickly as it seems October went by, it's easier to think that the New Year will be here before we know it. November's Stamp of the Month set, New Year's Cheer, is all ready to help you celebrate. The set has 13 stamps with delightful images and sentiments perfect for your end of the year festivities. Here are a few cards to share:

This first card is using a pattern from Rustic Home Fundamentals as the background.  The color scheme is using a few of the new colors: Blossom, Emerald, and Lemon with a little bit of Cocoa ink as well. The new colors pop off the page, so pretty against the background. I also used markers to color the Clear Sparkles to match (alcohol-based markers).



The new ink pads are so easy to use and open; I can't wait until you try them out. If you missed checking them out at the Open House or didn't notice them in the new Idea Book -- the new stamp pads come with improved magnetic closures. So easy to open and use! I know you will love them.



This next card is using a pattern from the Oh Deer! collection. The stamping was done with Slate and Sea Glass (our new Color of the Year). I love how those colors look together, so pretty. I even "rimmed" the glass with some salt or sugar by cutting a thin strip of our White Shimmer trim and added to the top of the glass. Too cute!



I love the new Color of the Year feature in our Idea Book. Sea Glass is our first new trendy color, available for this Idea Book only. It is a fabulous color, make sure to check it out and get it while you can.  It is available in stamp pads, re-inkers, cardstock, mini pigment pads, and glitter paper.



For the last card, I used yet another print from the Oh Deer collection going with a Raspberry, Whisper and Black color scheme. If you paid close attention, I even added some "beverages" inside the glasses with markers on all the cards. For this one, I had to be careful to adjust the liquid inside on the tilted glass.



I think I am always ready for the New Year. It means all the holiday hoopla and craziness associated with Christmas is done and over, and it is just time to play some games and have fun with family.

Enjoy!
Dani
