Stampin Friends December New Year Hop!

Lots of lovin' on this beautiful Suite of products from the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog - Year of Cheer!  I am so sad it is all retiring - but I stocked up a bit to use for my New Year's celebration.  So first my card - I love the Specialty Year of Cheer DSP - it is heavier like cardstock - and only one sided - so perfect for using as a card base as the inside is plain.

Then I punched stars and circles out of our Gold and Champagne foil sheets - as well as snowflakes out of a different pattern in the DSP to layer and give that festive and fun look below!

I also added some of the fun small black sequin and gold sequin strips tied on the side.  They lay nice and flat - even at the knot - so will mail well.  And to me they seemed to mimic the sprays of fireworks.

Then - for everyone coming over - I am making up these adorable diaper fold treat holders to match.  Each uses the same elements as the card - and holds a yummy caramel Ghiradelli chocolate.  I plan to put each person's name on a little tag and attach it. 

And since I was in the creative mood - I made up this little wine tag below to attach to a bottle of wine that we'll be taking this weekend to a friend's house.  It will be the perfect little hostess gift.  Here I have it on cider - but it would work on any wine bottle also.

Here it is from a little different angle -  so you can better see I added a couple gems to give it some extra sparkle.  These wine tags are so simple - but add so much - after all, presentation is everything!

Hope you enjoyed these projects, and can use some of it for inspiration for your New Year's celebration.
