Seasons Givings Blog Hop

Hero Arts

Hello and Happy New Year! Today we are honored to join a huge annual blog hop, a concept started by Latisha Yoast to say "THANK YOU!" to our wonderful blog readers and share some extra goodies. Be sure to scroll down to the end of this post for the giveaway info, as well as the list of companies and bloggers participating. Every single blog along this hop is sharing a giveaway! You won't want to miss it!

But first, Ilina is here to share a little New Year's cheer with you! Take it away, Ilina!

Hi everyone, Happy New 2019!!! This is Ilina and in the spirit of the new year I am sharing an elegant (black and gold) New Year's day card featuring the Party Confetti Fancy Die along with the Wishes Stamp & Cut set.

To make the card I started with die cutting the Party Confetti Fancy Die from shimmery black card stock and set it aside. Next I die cut the Wishes sentiment from the Stamp & Cut set. I did this twice from gold card stock and adhered the die cuts together. 

Next on piece of vellum I stamped "Sending New Year's" with Versamark and embossed with Gold embossing powder. Using the Circle Infinity Dies I die cut a circle. Adhered the "Wishes" die cut to the vellum circle and let it dry.

In the meantime I adhered the black die cut to a gold top folding note card. Adhered the vellum circle, trimmed the side a little and added few Champagne sequins to finish the card off.

For our giveaway, we're offering all of the products Ilina used on today's card! That's a prize package valued at $86 retail! To enter, let us know your goal for the coming year. You have until Friday, January 4 at 11:59pm PST to enter, and we'll announce the winner the following week.

And now for the hop list - it's a long one, but full of fabulous giveaways! Have fun hopping along!

My goal is to make 20 cards a week this year. So far, in this first week, I have made 8 birthday cards, 5 Christmas cards for next year, and 4 other cards, leaving 3 to make tomorrow, when I have the whole day free. I have also made 8 backgrounds to be used later. I know that I have to pace myself so I don’t burn out, so I intersperse my crafting with other activities.

I make cards for all the people in the continuing care retirement community where I live, friends and family members, children of friends, and others—altogether around 500 people. I hope to give each person at least a birthday card and a Christmas card this year. I am a Deacon in my church and I consider it my ministry. I started it because so many people in our nursing unit never received any mail at all.

I would love to take some classes on these things. I also vow to get my craft room organized! That will definitely help me have more time for creating because I will spend much less time searching for things! 😊 And I must say…your card is stunning! I just love all the gold and the vellum really makes your sentiment pop!

After breaking my hip two days after Thanksgiving, I realized how important it is to have your cards done early as you don’t know what’s around the corner. In other words, don’t procrastinate in doing anything. You never know when your world can be upside down. I didn’t even get a card made for my husband and best friend, which broke my heart. As far as things to help my crafting, I just can’t seem to get that bar magnet ordered. Sure would like to try one, for sure.

One of my goals for 2019 is to let myself be creative and not try and make everything perfect. I need to embrace the imperfections because they can be beautiful too. I feel like I’ve grown more creative over the past year, but I want to do more. I am enjoying stamping and making cards for family, now I want to expand that even further. I really like the kits you have because they make me think about how to use things differently. And it’s always so much fun to see what others create.

My goal… to use up some supplies on cards to send to friends and family! (I think I will never have to buy any paper but white cardstock for the rest of my life! Less paper means more room for stamp and ink!) More craftiness on my part will mean more happiness for me and more happy mail for the people who are important to me.

My goal for the new year is…
To make cards for every major holiday in 2019! I’m very new to card making, but it’s a craft I have fallen head over heels for fast. I’ve watched inspirational videos on YouTube, browsed and connected with a lot of crafting websites, and pulled inspiration from myself and my friends and family for future ideas. Up until this point I have only dabbled with a few impromptu birthday cards, Halloween and Christmas cards and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. This year I want to try new techniques and send out cards to all my family, friends and co-workers for every major holiday of 2019. I have a lot of inspiration to pull from and a lot of creative ideas to work with. I’ve already started collecting some stamps, supplies and cards to get me started so the only thing left is to dive right into things!
