Thank you for joining me this evening for our New Years Theme Blog Hop! I am excited to have you here!

My name is Mikki Winebrenner and today I have a simple Slim Line New Year card for you using Stampin’ Up!© More Wishes Photopolymer and Round We Go Photopolymer Stamp Sets.  

Don’t forget to drop a comment below for a chance to win a Stampin’ Up! Circus Celebration Kit. 

For my New Year card today I chose to do another slim line card. I had a lot of feed back asking for more of that style. I do like the slim lines as they give more room to work with, especially card fronts that have big letters!

While thinking of colors I wanted to use and overall feel of the card my mind immediately went to metallic. New Years always seems to bring out all the shiny things! Running with this idea I am using a lot of gold and silver with a little color and copper thrown in here and there.

I found the creating process of this card to be pretty simple. Simple is perfect for this time of year! There is a lot of heat embossing with this card but that could be simple enough to swap out if you wanted. I’ll explain more on that later.

I will NOT have a PDF file this time but I do have a fast walk through for you including pictures of some of the process. If you would like a PDF I can get one uploaded later this weekend.

LET’S TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT HOW THIS CARD CAME TOGETHER. I have a few different cards to show you using different colors and no embossing.

For an alternative for this card without the embossing, switch the colors up just a little bit. Replace the 3”x8” Basic Black with Basic White instead. Stamp your New Year Wishes saying in any color you choose (I used Cherry Cobbler to coordinate with my DSP). You can stamp the stars in bright colors and dap a bit of Wink or Stella on them or eliminate the stars and grab your enamel effects and make your own stars!

I hope this cards gives you some New Years inspiration! I’ve enjoyed creating this one for all of you.
