Bling in the New Year!

Happy New Year’s Eve! In addition to New Year’s Eve, it’s also the last Sunday of the month…which means time to hop with my NC Demo Friends. The theme for this month’s NC Demos’ Blog Hop is “Bling on the New Year” and our project could be anything, but it had to have bling. Yes, please!! As always with a blog hop, you’ll want to “hop along” to the next Demonstrator to see her amazing projects. Click the Next Button below to see a project from the talented Tina Lesson  or follow along using the Roll Call below.

For my project, I decided to use the More Dazzle 6 x 6 Specialty Paper in the Annual Catalog as well as give you a sneak peak at new products: the Rock & Roll Suite Collection coming out in the 2024 Jan-April Mini Catalog (available for purchase starting January 4) and a new Sale-A-Bration product (free with $50 purchase also starting Jan 4): the Most Adored 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. I can’t show you the full images of these products, but you can see them in action below (along with a photo of the new Stampin’ Up Glass Mat — a MUST have in every craft room, and FREE to you during Sale-A-Bration if you join my team. Contact me if you’d like more information!)

Bling On the New Year!

Here’s my card:

And, here’s the inside:

Let’s talk about the card front. I used a stamp and dies from the Rock Star Bundle. (You can see these products in this photo of my workspace …and there’s the Glass Mat!)

I also used sentiments from Biggest Wish (Annual Catalog) and More Wishes (2023 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog — but carrying over!) I LOVE these sentiment sets and definitely do not use them enough. I also used a New Year’s sentiment from the Throughout the Year stamp set. This is also in the current mini catalog, but will be staying on as an Online Exclusive project (love!!) Here’s a pic of these three must-haves for your craft room:

The microphone was colored using Smoky Slate and Black Blends. As mentioned, I also used the More Dazzle specialty DSP. This paper is bling to the max and I love it!

I used it on the background of the card front (silver) and the little stars and lighting bolts (gold). Don’t worry…I was not going to waste the part that was covered up by the card front design! I used a new die coming out in the Jan-Apr mini called Perennial Postage to cut out the center and I’ll save that for another project. (TIP! Make sure you do this with any of your layers to save paper!)

The card base is Smoky Slate cardstock, and the other DSP on the front is from the Rock & Roll DSP (black) and the Most Adored DSP from Sale-A-Bration (the white piece with gold hearts). Here’s a pic of that DSP:

Isn’t it pretty!? I’m so glad I got to show all of these sneak peaks with you, and can’t wait for the customer order period to open. Only a few more days! Need a catalog? Email me!

Let’s take on more look at my card:

Now, let’s Hop!
