CHEERS TO THE NEW YEAR

Happy New Year Stamping Friends!

For the first week of the year I am featuring the Softly Sophisticated Sale-A-Bration Bundle. This bundle will be available with a $100 order on January 4, when our annual Sale-A-Bration Promotion begins.

The Softly Sophisticated Bundle includes a Stamp Set and an Embossing Folder. Today I used one of the two-step flowers that is included in the stamp set.

When I think of New Years celebrations, I always envision lots of sparkle, shimmer and shine. So I did my best to make a card that has all of this.

The background on the card was made with the Holographic Specialty Paper from the Annual Catalog. The paper is silver, but depending on how you move it around it changes colors. When you emboss the Holographic Paper it also brings out more of the Hologram colors. I used the Painted Texture embossing folder because it creates larger surfaces at different angles which really adds to the color explosion.

The largest Countryside Corners die cut mat was made from Night of Navy Soft Shimmer Paper which adds more sparkle to the card. And the Night of Navy and Gold Glittered Ribbon continues the sparkle.

This is a very simple card to make, but the cardstock and embellishments provide a sparkly, shiny punch, don't you think?

The sparkle and shine is carried to the inside of the card with a strip of the Holographic Specialty Paper matted on Night of Navy Soft Shimmer Paper. The strip on the inside is not embossed, but even in its natural state you can see all the different hologram colors.

I hope I brought a little extra shimmer and shine to your New Years Day, and I'll do my best to continue to bring you inspiration and stamping tips throughout 2024.

FLIGHT & AIRY SALE-A-BRATION SNEAK PEAK

It may not look like it, but I'm again using the same card sketch/layout that I have been using all week. I just flipped it horizontally.

As a reminder here is the card sketch/layout I'm using this week.

Does this card make you smile? It makes me smile because it makes me think of Spring -- my favorite time of year. Well, my favorite may be a toss-up between Spring & Summer, but this card definitely reminds me of both. I need a reminder today because as I look outside I see the ground covered in white with more snow continuing to fall. If it doesn't stop soon, I'm going to need to go out and shovel!

The pretty Designer Series Paper (DSP) used on today's card is a sneak peak of a new designer series paper collection called Flight & Airy. It will be available as a free item choice with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration. Sale-A-Bration starts on January 4, so I'm sharing some sneak peaks. Other than the sentiment, everything colorful that you see on the front of this card is from this DSP. The two little love birds were fussy cut from one of the designs. Aren't they cute? I just added them to a Countryside Corners Die that I added some soft color to with my Blending Brushes.

The Basic White card front was embossed with another Sneak Peak. It is the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder that will be available as part of a stamp set and embossing folder bundle. This bundle will be available for free with a $100 order. I'm already in love with the embossing folder. I haven't played with the stamp set yet, but the embossing folder is getting a workout!

Since this paper is so happy, I needed to add a little strip on the inside of my birthday card.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing how you can use one inspirational layout to create a variety of cards. Do you have a favorite card layout?

APPLE HARVEST TIME

It may be a little late in the year for harvesting apples, at least here in Michigan, but I was gifted this stamp set recently so thought I would use it.

It seemed like it would work perfectly with my card sketch that I'm featuring all this week.

I just replaced the circle with the branch of fruit! This is one of the things I love about this sketch/layout. It's so versatile!

I used the Tartan Foil Specialty Paper which is an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE product. The two plaids that you see are both foiled and are from the opposite side of the same sheet of paper. The finish on this Specialty Paper is beautiful and a bit different from what we normally see with foils. They are definitely foil but have more of a matt appearance than our normal foils.

The Moody Mauve background was embossed with a new Sneak Peak Sale-A-Bration embossing folder, Softly Sophisticated, that will be available January 4, 2024. More to come on that as the time gets closer.,

Since the Apple Harvest Stamp Set does not have coordinating dies, I did have to fussy cut my branch of apples. But it was fairly easy to fussy cut the outside edges of the image. I colored the image with Stampin' Blends in Old Olive, Copper Clay and Moody Mauve. I'm not sure what kind of apples would be Moody Mauve in color, but it's artistic expression, right?
