New Years Cards

I like making my own cards for the holidays, but this year I was just so busy I never got around to it!! :( So, I decided to make some cards for the new year rather than belated-holiday cards...thought it would be more thoughtful/less forgetful!

These are the cards I made-- they're really simple, but they kind of reminded me of champagne (which is probably why I like them... I love champagne!)


You'll need:
Plain Card-Stock 
Colorful Paper
1 inch circle craft punch
3/4 inch circle craft punch
Glue
Glitter



Here are the craft punches I used:


They are like big hole-punches-- you just squeeze the handle on them, and they punch out different shapes! I love them. Until I get myself a Cricut, these will have to do! :) (I'm not supposed to use my Cricut Cake for cutting paper because the chemicals in card-stock are not good for you.)




Punch out all different colors with both punches


After I punched out my circles, I put them in a jar and shook them up so I would be able to grab a random assortment each time I needed my circles


Glue on your circles in a random pattern. After they dry, add a little dollop of glue and some glitter so when the glue dries, there will only be the glitter showing.


Shake off your excess glitter and your cards are ready once the glue dries!





Seriously, I should be getting reimbursed for all of this product placement!! Haha. I need to learn how to make money on this blog so I don't have to get a real job!
