Happy New Year!

Happy 2015 Everyone!

I hope the year brings blessings and joy to all of you… While today’s card is for New Year’s, the design can very easily be recreated and used for birthdays, graduations, “welcome baby”, or other celebrations!

Going for a unique shape, this card is sized to fit into a #6 envelope; while the large size may seem daunting at first, the finished effect leaves quite the bang and looks fantastic! Sometimes its good to get away from the “norm” and branch out a little with your cards. :)

Within my Silhouette Studio, I created the base and elements for my card, and I have included a video of the digital building process. Hope you enjoy!
