Happy New Year... Almost!

It's time for our monthly Blog Hop! I can't believe how fast the time is going by... the holidays are almost here and 2019 is just around the corner! To celebrate, I created a card for this month's Stamping Symphony Blog Hop. Check it out:

It's a fairly simple card & uses mostly paper... lots & lots of beautiful glimmer & shimmer on this card! I die cut several pennants from various papers using the Playful Pennants Thinlits Dies & my Big Shot. I opted not to use the coordinating stamp set (Pick A Pennant) on this card.

Here's a better look at all that shimmer. It was difficult to get it all to show up at the same time. I didn't have a "Happy New Year" stamp (and again, I could've stamped that with the coordinating Pick A Pennant Stamp Set), but I chose to use a sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings instead. I think it works AND I definitely recommend that stamp set in your stash.

Did you notice those numbers on the card? I cut those out from the Broadway Bound Speciality Designer Series Paper.

On the inside, I left plenty of room for a message and added a couple more pennants to the top. Clean & simple!

Here's one last look at some of the elements. To make that "celebrate" pop a little, I die cut one from black & one from white & offset them slightly. It makes it look a little 3D, but without all that bulk!

So, that's it from me today. Thanks for stopping by & make sure you hop along to all the other awesome people below. ;)
