Champagne or Cocoa?

Do you ring in the New Year with champagne or cocoa? This post offers both options!

The first card features a beautiful image, and inside sentiment, from Beccy’s Place. The dotted background paper makes me think of confetti. I taped a strip of cardboard across the screw top before wrapping a scrap of foil around the top of the bottle to add sparkle and texture. Circles cut from yellow vellum and a  blue plastic document folder add color. (Document folders come in a pack of assorted colors and can be found in the office supply section of most stores. I really like using them on my cards because they're often cheaper than colored vellum, are more translucent and easy to cut with a nice, sharp pair of scissors.)  Happy New Year!

The next card features a cute image from The Paper Shelter. The background is any upcycled Christmas card, topped with vellum to allow the image to stand out. I tried to add a bit of froth to the top of the cocoa… but when I showed my hubby the card he chuckled and said, “Looks like he’s making little fart bubbles!” Yikes!
