New Year card for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Welcome to the December Stamper’s Showcase blog hop where our theme this month is ‘It’s time to Celebrate’. My name is Mo Rootes and I am from Cambridge in the UK and I very much hope you will vist all the other talented blog hoppers this month.

I have chosen to make a card to celebrate the New Year and as a proud Scot I couldn’t resist adding some tartan for Hogmany.

To recreate the It’s Time to Celebrate card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Wrapped in Plaid dsp – 5⅞” by 4⅛”
Whisper White – 4⅛” by 2⅞”
Gold Foil – 4⅛” by ¼” x 2
Whisper White – 4⅛” by ¼” x 2
Whisper White scrap

I inked up the dandelion image in Versamark ink and stamped it twice on the strip of Whisper White card stock – having first used the embossing buddy to remove static, covered it Gold Embossing Powder and heat set with my Heat Tool.

I used Sponge Daubers to add Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Crushed Curry ink to the ‘fireworks’ and then added the blue night sky using Night of Navy ink.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I glued a strip of Gold Foil to the top and bottom of the embossed panel. I then added the thin strips of Whisper White to the top and bottom.

I adhered the panel of Designer Series Paper (dsp) to the front of the Thick Whisper White card base and added the embossed panel to the card front on dimensionals.

I used the Night of Navy Marker Pen to ink up part of the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set and stamped it on scrap Whisper White card stock before trimming it out using scissors.

I stamped and embossed the ‘fireworks’ on the inside of the card and on the front of the envelope. Please hop on to see what Wendy Lee has to share with us this month
