Celebrate the New Year Class

For the next few days I will be posting the cards and project from my January "Come Stamp With Me" class.  The theme for this class was "Celebrate the New Year" with a focus on the Stampin' Up Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs.  This first card is more of a masculine card, although it can be used for teens and women as well.  I love the color combination of Tranquil Tide, Night of Navy, and Very Vanilla. See the supply list below.

The front panel of the card is a technique using 

the die cut word, Celebrate as a background

that looks like the panel is embossed.

The Celebrate that is popped up is layered on 

Fun Foam.  All the die cut words are from the

Celebrate You Thinlit Dies available in the 

SU Sale-A-Bration catalog.  If you spend $100

on an order, you can get these dies free.

Note, these dies will also be available in the

2018-19 Annual Catalog that comes out in June.

The Night of Navy banner was made using the 

Banner Triple Punch.  The Designer Series Paper (DSP)

used in the background is 'True Gentleman' found in the 

Occasions Catalog.  

I gave two different options for the inside sentiment;

Happy Birthday and General Celebration theme.  You

could also use it for retirements, friendship, graduation, etc.

The scatter is done in Night of Navy ink and the sentiments in 

Tranquil Tide ink.  The stamps used are Picture Perfect Birthday

found in the Occasions catalog; Epic Celebrations found in the 

Sale-A-Bration catalog; and the Retired Gorgeous Grunge set.

There are many other stamps available that have similar scatter patterns.
