It’s always good to have “Happy New Year” cards in your stash, to send to those that missed your holiday card list. Right? Plus, I love new beginnings, and I’m always excited for January 1. Today’s card uses the Be Dazzling Specialty Paper to highlight 2022.
“2022” was cut with Playful Alphabet Dies and Foam Adhesive Sheets.
First, I attached a 1″strip of Be Dazzling Specialty Paper to a 1″ strip of Foam Adhesive Sheet, placing the numbers on top, and running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I turned the numbers upside down, and ran it through a second time to make sure it was a good cut.
The Foam Adhesive Sheet is an easy way to give the small letters wonderful dimension, and it’s easy to peel the backing and stick them to the label.
The label was cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die from Thick Basic White Cardstock, and placed on Dimensionals. “Happy new year” is from the Heartfelt Wishes Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, and also cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die.
The colorful “fireworks” were cut with Seasonal Swirls Dies (circles with stars) and Christmas Trimmings Dies (single stars), from Rainbow Glimmer Paper.
White makes a great background for bright colors, so I used a Thick Basic White card base (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″) topped with Basic White White Cardstock, cut with the largest Scalloped Contours Die. To add a little texture, I embossed the layer with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.

I was inspired by the Paper Players.
