Happy 2018!

Happy New Year!! I hope everyone had a wonderful day! I can't believe we are starting a new year. For my husband and I, the new year begins with a fresh start. We spent the day cleaning the house and washing. The floors, rugs, air filters, refrigerator, and linens are all nice and clean. I also spent the evening cleaning my craft room. It is a complete wreck from making Christmas projects. There are ink pads, papers, and stamps all over the room!

As I was putting away stamp sets and cardstock, I finalized my 2018 stamping goals. I would like to continue my washi tape goal from 2017 and add using up older Designer Series Paper and making the craftroom presentable for a tour. I LOVE Designer Series Paper! I have multiples of almost every current Designer Series Paper stack and retired paper stacks. I think it is just so beautiful. I have a difficult time cuting into new sheets of patterned paper. My goal is to use up or as much as I can of my older as well as newer Designer Series Paper.

My second new stamping goal is to have either a photo tour or a video tour of my craftroom. Last year I redid the layout and replaced some of the furniture, including doubling my desk space. The new set up works so much better!

What are your stamping goals for 2018? I would love to hear from you!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year!


Happy New Year! I hope everyone is able to spend time with family and friends today! The new year brings newness and renewal, whether it is a fresh start, a renewal of energy, resolutions, or new intentions and goals.

For me, the new year symbolizes a time to renew or establish new goals. This year my stamping goal is to incorporate more washi tape into my projects. I love the look of washi tape, but I don't always know what to do with it. Stay tuned for some great washi tape projects!

The Best is Yet to Come!

There are only a few more days to purchase from the Holiday Catalog. Don't miss out on your favorite retiring products! One of my favorite retiring stamp sets is the Frosted Medallions.

Craft with Beth: Frosted Medallions New Year's Day Card Ideas

At first glance, these six stamps seem to be focused on celebrating New Year's Day. I love New Year's Day. It is full of hope, promise, and good intentions. It is a fresh new start!

You can create gorgeous New Year's cards like the ones pictured below.

Craft with Beth: Frosted Medallions Happy New Year Card

This layout was inspired by a autumnal card by Karen Pedersen. I stamped the smaller lace medallion randomly over a top-folding Whisper White card base in Sweet Sugarplum ink. Then I added a 2" by 4-1/4" piece of Sweet Sugar Plum at the bottom embossed with Happy New Year in silver. A piece of silver metallic ribbon covers where the two pieces meet. A faux knot bow added more dimension and interest.

These three cards from the Holiday Catalog demonstrate even more great New Year's cards! I love how the Fancy Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper adds just the right amount of texture without detracting from the overall design!

When you look at this stamp set further, you can imagine more possibilities! The lace medallion and the flower medallion lend themselves to formal and informal special days. The medallions are perfect for creating your own Designer Series Paper and One Sheet Wonders.

The two sentiments "The best is yet to come" and "Wishing you the happiest of days" can be used for more occasions, including weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and even encouragement.

The card below is a modified CASE from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. This card could be used for a wedding!
