STAMPIN' UP! HAPPY NEW YEAR CARD

The card I'm sharing today has no stamping on it ... it's all about the beautiful papers, and the super-versatile Playful Alphabet Dies.

Coming out in the new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue on 4th January is a lovely suite of products including the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper.  I've used both sides of one sheet of paper on my card.  The Misty Moonlight medallion-patterned paper has a slight grungy look to it.  The reverse of that pattern is the Basic Gray woodgrain pattern that you see on the top third of the card front.

After adhering my patterned papers to a mat of Basic Gray card, I added a Misty Moonlight zig-zag border, created with the Basic Borders Dies.

I added some Adhesive Sheets (cut to size) to the reverse side of scraps of Silver Foil card, Ombre Specialty Paper, and Basic Gray card.  From these pieces I cut out the letters to make the sentiment for my card.  Using Adhesive Sheets effectively creates stickers once the letters are cut out.  No glue mess, and easy placement on the card front.

In this close-up photo, you can better see the pattern on the background paper.  The dark blue letters (cut from Ombre Specialty Paper) have a slight glimmer to them, which hopefully you can see.

Using Stitched Stars Dies, I cut stars from Basic Gray and Misty Moonlight card, and Silver Foil and Ombre Specialty Paper scraps.  I placed the stars on the woodgrain paper panel, and added some twine that has Misty Moonlight, silver and white strands.

Listed below are all the  current products I used to make this card.  I can't yet link to the Heart & Home Designer Series Papers in my online store, as they become available for purchase on 4th January (unless you sign up to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, in which case you get early access to all the new products!).
