Hello, can you believe another year has passed? I am not sorry to see the back of 2023 and welcome 2024. Today I bring you a fun card for January’s Tech 4 Stampers blog hop. This month’s theme is Celebrate, perfect for the New Year! I wanted to create a fun, bright card which would be great for that awkward late teen in the family.

Creating your Fun Celebrate Card

Trim a piece Coastal Cabana cardstock, measuring 14.4cm x 10cm. Using Coastal Cabana ink and a large Blending Brush, blend from the top down to create an ombre effect. Once dry, random stamp the confetti image using Versamark ink. Cover with Clear Embossing Powder, shake off excess and use a Heat Tool until melted. Repeat with fewer images and use Silver Embossing Powder.

Wrap a piece of Silver and White Sheer ribbon around the center and adhere into place. Matt onto an A6 Basic Black card base, measuring 14.9cm x 10.5cm.

Using the three smallest balloon dies from the Beautiful Balloon Dies, die cut one small from Silver Foil, one medium from Coast Cabana and two large, one from Coastal Cabana and one from Gold Celebrations Speciality Designer Series Paper (SDSP). Turn the Gold Celebrations SDSP balloon upside down and adhere on top of the large Coastal Cabana balloon. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere onto your ribbon. Overlap your other balloons and adhere flat.

Die cut ‘Celebrate’ from Basic Black and Basic White cardstock, using the Wanted To Say Dies. Adhere together and use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add to your card.

Embellish with a scattering of Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Loose Silver Sequins.

I do hope you have found some inspiration with me. All products used are listed below and available to purchase from my online shop.
