Hello crafters!
Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. With the holidays winding down, it’s time to start looking ahead to the New Year, and today I’m sharing a one-of-a-kind New Year’s card created using gel press prints that were already sitting on my desk.
This card is another reminder that the prints we’re unsure about often turn out to be the most fun to work with. I started with a gel press print that I wasn’t completely convinced about, but instead of discarding it, I leaned into the imperfections and built from there. A little gold sparkle using WOW Gold Vintage Lace added just the right amount of shimmer and immediately elevated the background.
For the focal elements, I stamped images from the Kate Crane Mini 013 stamp set by PaperArtsy onto another leftover gel press print. Cutting the images out of a painted background instead of plain cardstock adds so much interest and ties everything together visually. It’s a simple trick, but one that makes a big difference.
To finish the card, I stamped a sentiment from the JOFY Mini 94 set, also by PaperArtsy. The clean sentiment balances the layered background and brings the whole design together without overpowering it.
I love how this card came together using supplies and prints that were already out. It’s creative, intentional, and a great way to transition from Christmas crafting into New Year projects without starting from scratch.
Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful New Year celebration filled with creativity, sparkle, and fresh inspiration.
