Happy New Year! Are you excited for a fresh start that the new year brings? I am, and I’m also excited to really start diving into products from the new Occasions catalog and Sale-a-bration catalog. They both are available to order from starting January 3rd. Today’s card features something from both catalogs.
Take a close look at this card…there are tons of new product featured here… can you spot them all? First of all is the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies that cut out the words “Celebrate” and “You”. Next is the Calypso Coral Ribbon that is part of the Shimmer Ribbon Pack. Both of these products are featured in the Sale-a-bration catalog and you can earn them for FREE! Come back tomorrow and I’ll share all of the details about this year’s Sale-a-bration Promotion!
Next check out the sparkly paper showing behind the die cut words. This is the Myths & Magic 6″ x 6″ Glimmer Paper in the Occasions catalog Aren’t you excited we’ve got more Glimmer Paper choices? I sure am!. And finally, check out the stamps used on the card. Both the sentiments and the pretty floral image come from the Lots of Happy Card Kit also from the Occasions catalog.

Use blender pen over the coloured images then add some Clear Wink of Stella. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere to card base.

Trim piece and adhere to card, over the original stamped image.
