Hello everyone! It's Design Team Member Michael here with a very cool idea for a New Year's card. Today is December 23rd and my Christmas card making is done for 2023. Time to ring in 2024. Today I have a card that will awe your friends and family. A B&W New Year's Card (very chic) - using the Champagne Toast stamp and only black and white glittered fun foam. No coloring!
- I started making a top-folding A2 card base with white cardstock.
- I cut a piece of black and a piece of white glittered fun foam, 4" x 8.5", applied 2" wide double-sided tape to the back, and then cut them into 1" strips.
- Starting with a strip of the black glittered cardstock, I removed part of the tape backing, adhered it to the card front on an angle, and trimmed away the excess.
- Then I adhered a strip of the white glittered cardstock on each side of the black. Again, trim away any excess.
- Continue doing this until the card front is covered.
- I stamped Champagne Toast on white cardstock, die-cut it using a stitched rectangle die, and adhered it to a piece of regular, non-glittered fun foam.
- For my sentiment, using a scrap piece of the black glittered fun foam, I die-cut a Happy New Year die from Elizabeth Craft Designs, that I had in my stash, and adhered it to the card front across the stems of the champagne glasses.
- Lastly, I adhered some crystals to the bottom of the champagne glasses for even more shimmer and shine.
Done! Easy peasy and very chic. I'd love to know what you think of this card and using glittered fun foam. Do you guys use glittered fun foam in your cardmaking? Let me know. Have a very Merry Christmas, if you celebrate, and a very Happy New Year. Until next year...
Hugs from Brasil.
