Bloggers Challenge – Celebration!

January 1, 2010 By Connie | 18 Comments

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  I hope you had a safe New Year's Eve and are enjoying watching all those football games today.  Well, maybe you are stamping?  I'll be doing a little of both.  I hope to have my swaps designed, so I can sit and put them together while watching Ohio State play in the Rose Bowl.

The Bloggers Challenge theme this week is Celebrations!  And, New Year's is a wonderful time to celebrate!  I wanted to use something that indicated a the new 2010 year, so I pulled out Stampin' Up's Alphabet Simple Numbers Bigz dies!  I've used the letters before, but not the numbers…I love them!  Can you see how sparkly the numbers are?

I started with a base of Taken with Teal cardstock.  I added a layer of Night & Day Designer Paper (in the Holiday Mini that goes away on January 4th!).  I added a Top Note diecut of So Saffron.  Then I added some Certainly Celery punched large stars on the Top Note.  I wrapped 5/8 Certainly Celery Grosgrain Ribbon around the entire piece and tied a knot.  I stamped Happy New Year in Taken with Teal Classic Ink on Whisper White cardstock and punched with my Modern Label Punch.  On each end, I added a small Ice Rhinestone Brad.

The numbers I cut with the Big Shot and Simple Numbers Alphabet Set from Taken with Teal cardstock.  I applied Versamark ink over them and sprinkled on Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, then heat set it.  SO pretty in real life!

Even my husband commented that my card was really "cool"!  Great praise from him!  lol!

Again, I wish for you a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Awesome card!  Love the 2010 and the stars in the background.
    Can't say I was happy with the outcome of the football game but you can't win them all.
     
    Happy New Year!
