Happy New Year! + Season's Givings Blog Hop

Libby Hickson

Happy New Year! We hope you've enjoyed the holidays, and are settling into 2018. We are thrilled to be joining a big hop today, full of generous stampers and craft companies. The purpose of this hop is to say a great big THANK YOU to all of YOU, our wonderful blog readers! Every single stop along this hop is offering some sort of prize. How fun is that? So sit back, relax and bring 2018 in with a crafty bang!

Libby created the card we're sharing today. It features an oldie but goodie, our My Monthly Hero kit from December 2016! Libby stamped the champagne bottles repeatedly, colored with her Copics and then added gold gel pen (included in the kit) as well as some gold Stickles to the labels. The "cheers" was cut with a die included in the kit, and the shiny gold metallic paper came from the kit as well. She finished the card with some polka dotted washi tape from her stash.

Because this kit is so incredibly perfect for the new year, we decided to offer up THREE of them as our prizes for this hop! Just leave a comment here on the blog, letting us know your goals for 2018, and we'll put your name in the hat. You have until Sunday, January 7 at 11:59pm PT to comment, and we'll announce the winners the following week here on the blog.

Now it's time to hop! Here's the entire list of participants.


From here you'll visit our friends over at CAS-ual Friday Stamps. Have fun hopping! And we wish you all the very best in 2018!

    Happy 2018! My crafty goal for this year is to trust my own designs rather than to wait for my ideas/creations to be validated by others.

    Happy New Year!~ And thanks for participating in this wonderful blog hop of gratitude to begin the new year, I just love it! Not because it’s an opportunity for us, your subscribers and customers, to win, but because it’s an opportunity for us to express our gratitude to you for all you do for US! Thank you! And REALLY thank you for this prize! Wow!

    I forgot to add I want to keep ahead of my Christmas card making again this year. It worked out well in 2017 so that is a goal for me.
