Something old...something new...

Not only are we saying goodbye to the old year...and saying hello to the New Year, 2016
But this card also uses a mixture of "old" - soon to be retiring for ever - stamps...and new soon to be released stamps...

The old being the hostess Six Sayings set... for the New Year greeting...

The new being the Numbers of Years stamps & dies...which I have used for everything else...
And so with this simple little very glittery card...

I wish you all a Very Happy New Year...

And may 2016 be your best year ever!

Cheers!

Number of Years - 70th Birthday Card

A special card for a special Auntie of mine...
70 this year...and trying to keep quiet about the fact!
So I thought some big numbers were in order... shouting it out!!!
Now before some of you ask me if I am alright...
Pinks and purples are her favourite colours ...
So I just had to!
So a simple enough make... especially as I found my numbers & banner dies today!
All dressed up in a Large Square Box Frame Card... and with Wink of Stella highlights...

Number of Years Sneak Peek - 50 already!?

I thought it was high time I opened up my pre-order box...

And shared a make using my favourite stamp set in the Spring Summer catalogue - Number of Years -  coming your way soon...only about 8 sleeps to go!
But I like to start off really simple after Christmas...

Which is mainly due to the fact that I pack everything away from my dining room/classroom! Which means that I can't actually find anything without spending hours searching and unpacking!!
So this was a simple tag & wrap in a rush for my brother before he packed his suitcase to go back to the States... He was blown away... talk about a man in denial about reaching the great 50... LOL!

Now as most things I used are not yet available (unless you are a demonstrator!) - a few notes!
The numbers in this Number of Years set are amazing... I think the largest I have ever possessed... standing about 2" high...with dies to match!!! Yippee! And you have lots of other words and TH's, NDs etc - a gorgeous flower/leaves stamps combi - and the cool banner too. Trust me these are must haves and keepers in your crafting arsenal!!

Probably too subtle to see in the photos... but... I also used the clear Wink of Stella brush to add some sparkle... coming your way very soon... Also a must have and a keeper in your stash!!
The tag is die cut using the Project Life Cards & Labels die set... a set that is definitely not just for Project Life and scrapbooking...

And the stitching around the numbers and the tag is faux stitching - care of my hand and my Project Life pen
