Now onto my card and tutorial. If you have been following me on Instagram, you know I’m a champagne lover especially during the holidays. So this year I turned my love of my favorite champagne into a card.

I absolutely love how this card came out. The gold on the green looks stunning. Keeping the card clean and simple really works for this design.

Had to share the bottle label with the card. If you love champagne let me know which kind you like. I would love to try something new.

Here’s the tutorial on how this card came together. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel. All products I used are listed below. Affiliate links are used at no cost to you. Thanks for supporting my channel.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here with more inspiration soon! Take care and Happy New Year.

Galaxy Warm Wishes

December 28, 2019

Hey everyone. Today is my last card of the year featuring products from Brea Reese. It has been a pleasure working as a design team member for the Momenta/Brea Reese family and I’m so honored. The members of Brea Reese are amazing and I wish them continued success. This won’t be the last time you see me using their products for sure.

My card is featuring a purply-pink galaxy background. I love the way Brea Reese alcohol inks move so beautifully on paper. You can never repeat the same design and that just amazes me. I kept my card clean and simple by letting my background be the start. Using a large sentiment from Hello Bluebird and just a small hot cocoa mug was all I needed to complete this card.

Warm Wishes With Brea Reese

December 19, 2019

Hey everyone. Can you believe Christmas is next week? So before I let the holiday blow past me I wanted to send you some warm wishes. Today’s card I used beautiful alcohol inks from Brea Reese and a large sentiment from Hello Bluebird. If you live anywhere cold I’m sending you warm winter wishes for sure.

For my card today I created a beautiful blue background with Brea Reese alcohol inks on Brea Reese waterproof paper. I trimmed down this panel to fit a standard 4.25 x 5.5 card base. Next I die cut the warm wishes from silver foil cardstock from Concord & 9th. I inlayed the sentiment into the alcohol ink panel. These styles of cards are super easy to make and easier to mass produce.

Warm Wishes

To finish off the card I added a few clear sparkling sequins for added sparkle. I love how this card turned out.

Warm Wishes

Have a Merry Christmas and a blessed holiday season. I’ll see you back here soon.
