Happy New Year!!!  I cannot believe 2020 is here! Hope the new year brings you wealth, health, joy and more time to craft!!!

I am using the Oriental Stamp sets, “New Year Celebration” and “Power of Hope” to create some New Year cards.

The firecrackers in the picture was the projects that I made for last year new year.  If you want to know how to make the “firecrackers”.  Click Here.

“New Year Celebration” stamp previously only available in Japan.  It’s now available in North America! The Japanese sentiments below written in Hiragana and Kanji translates to “Happy New Year,” and will make beautiful cards to bring in the new year. Get this exclusive stamp set soon because it’s only available in North America until January 31, 2020.

The “Power of Hope” stamp set with the Stone 3D Embossing Folder bungle is the free stamp set that you can get for FREE during the Sale-a-Bration time with $100.00 order.  This stamp set has a lot of oriental elements that works well with the “New Year Celebration” set.  As you know that I am Chinese, so I really enjoy creating the cards with oriental Asian elements.
