Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Firstly - this post is not an outcome from my resolutions - I know I will always be an horrific blogger! Lol - but I will try harder!

Just thought I'd share a couple of cards that I have had chance to make today - using new bits! Now this is a resolution - to use more of the stuff that I have! I can hear my husband breathing a mahoosive sigh of relief - but he knows it won't last!!

This is the first - used a layout that I thought would look nice with the image and papers. The image is new, as is the machine that made the mats for the image - I have used my brand new MM Slice - which didn't disappoint at all!

INGREDIENTS:
CARD: Stampin Up! Kraft Cardstock
PAPERS: My Minds Eye Bloom and Grow
CUTTING: Making Memories Slice - Noteworthy Cartridge, Doily Lace Punch - Martha Stewart
STAMPS: Penny Black - 'A Gift for You', Papertrey Ink Vintage Picnic Sentiments
COLOURING: Copic Markers, Copic Spica Glitter Markers
EMBELLIES: Flora Doodles Flower, Dovecraft Brad, Anita's Gems - 3mm, Bazzill Jewel Template.

So, whilst all of that was on my desk - thought I'd make a second card for the day! This one uses the Papertrey Ink Vintage Picnic stamps as the focal point (again cut by the slice), again with the MME papers, punches, bling and Kraft cardstock! The ribbon is from my stash - can't remember where I got it from!
