Happy New Year! + Season's Givings Blog Hop

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!

Gail Burke,

I want to finish painting my craft room and get new carpet installed (I am turning my adult daughter’s bedroom into my craft room – she is married and will not need it anymore) As well as organize “ALL” of my various craft supplies into one room – a miraculous endeavor. No woman should have to buy an extra glue gun because she can’t find one of the other 3 that she owns!

Janet Trapp,

What a generous gift! Thanks for the chance to win and all the inspiration! God bless! Here’s to an awesome 2018!

Debra Nigohosian,

Make more cards and try new things for 2018.

Isabelle,

Your card is very festive ! And the kit is really awesome.

Kristen HH,

My goal this year is to participate in more card challenges online!
