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.
