Since December got super hectic very quickly for me this year, I did not get my Christmas cards done.  I think it's the first year in the last 14 that I have not done any Christmas cards.  When the 19th rolled around and I still hadn't started, I decided to concede defeat and came up with a plan to do New Year's cards instead. January's Stamp of the Month is the PERFECT set for New Year's!

I love how the images in this set coordinate well with the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge! The large month's circle is cut at 2 1/2" inches using [circle1]. The smaller dates circle is cut at 1 3/4 inches using [circle1]. I cut the little banner pieces at 2" using [banner1].   I started off using the Delightful Dots pattern from Wishes and then modified it slightly.  The "12" is embossed in Cocoa embossing powder for a little extra flair. I also placed bitty sparkles in between the months on the larger circle.

For a little added dimension, I used 3D Foam tape to pop the date late off the month layer.  I added a little dark chocolate striped grosgrain ribbon to finish off the card.
