We are getting ready to Ring in the New Year with the December 2018 Blogging Friends Blog Hop!  This is a new blog hop for me and I’m excited to be participating in the Blogging Friends Blog Hop. I can’t believe 2019 is just around the corner and we are going to celebrate as we “Ring in the New Year.” So, enjoy the blog hop!

Ring in the New Year

Sometimes you just have to get creative with your stamp sets! With the “Ring in the New Year” theme, I definitely had to get creative to figure out a card to celebrate the New Year. Well, cue the Picture Perfect Birthday paired with the Bokeh Dots! What could be more perfect…

Confetti & Bokeh?

While trying to think outside the box, I saw the “cue the confetti” sentiment and instantly thought of New Year’s Eve in New York City with confetti and the Crystal Ball falling at Times Square. You have Sparkle and Confetti which just shouts out New Year celebrations to me. What do you think? Did I succeed?

Cue the Confetti Celebration Card

I had fun creating this card! I started with the Bokeh Dots Stamp Set and inked it up with the Smoky Slate Ink but then sponged Frost White Shimmer Pant over the ink. When I stamped the image, it just POPPED! I mean… WOW, it really is cool looking and so much better in person. 

The card has a fun, metallic feel. It’s festive, shiny and just feels like New Year’s Eve. Yes, I could use the card as a Birthday Card but it’s definitely a fun New Year Celebration card. I’ve also used the Making Christmas Bright Stamp Set to add to the festive feel of the card. Silver Metallic Thread and Metallic Pearls help round out the festive feel with some bling.
