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!

    Ohhh I would LOVE one of those kits!! I have so many crafty resolutions, but the main one is to actually MAIL the cards I make (or hand deliver them). Thanks for being part of the hop

    Great card! Gold and Green background is striking and the Cheers font is perfect to emboss.

  • Cynthia Cole

    Such an awesome stamp set to ring in the New Year. My crafty goal is to make holiday cards early this year.

    Very cute card. I plan to adopt my 8 and 11 yr old grandchildren and home school them. I always send a themed card each month to my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, so I will begin that process this week.
