Happy New Year! Today’s card should look familiar. It’s very much like my team’s swap cards that I posted yesterday. I did make mine several weeks ago, but was saving it for today. The Large Numbers Framelits Dies make the Eclipse Technique super quick and easy (the magic words.) I also used the Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper (DSP) and a Silver Foil Sheet. The sentiment inside the card is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, which in my opinion, should be in everyones’ stamp collection. There’s a sentiment for almost any occasion, and all the different fonts are great. Check out the cute font on the one I used on today’s card.

Whether you go out partying all night or just run around the corner for a minute, please be careful out there. I hope you all have a very happy – and safe – New Year’s Eve.
On December 17, I hosted the December Candy Hearts Team Meeting and Christmas Shindig. We had a lot of fun with demonstrations, Make & Takes, yummy food, and talking – and yes there was a whole lot of laughing. Our swap theme was New Year’s, so today I’m sharing the Hearts’ swap cards. I know you’ll agree with me when I say that these are some very talented card makers.
Here’s what they made:
Debbie’s card has a Whisper White card base and a layer of Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper. It includes Year of Cheer Washi Tape & Embellishments, a Foil Snowflake, and a sentiment from the Cheer to the Year stamp set cut with the Pretty Label Punch.
Judy’s card has a Berry Burst card base with a layer of Foil Frenzy Designer Series Paper. 2018 has been cut from the DSP layer with the Large Numbers Framelits Dies, then adhered with Foam Adhesive Strips. This is the Eclipse Technique. Metallic Edged Berry Burst Ribbon (a sneak peek from the upcoming 2018 Occasions Catalog) and a sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set are the final touches.
Great minds think alike! Lonita also used the Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper and a Foil Snowflake, but her card has a Basic Black card base. The sentiment is heat embossed on a piece of Basic Black card stock, and layered with a circle cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and the snowflake. A piece of Silver Sequin Trim finishes off the design.

I guess I’m a little late posting this one, but you can always change the colors and the sentiment for any occasion, or save it for next year. The Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper has so many different patterns, even some that can be used for non-Christmas projects. I used the design with lots of tiny mints for today’s project. And the sentiment is made using the Brightly Lit Christmas Bundle. Both the paper and the bundle are retiring. They’ll be available only until January 2, or while supplies last.
Christmas Around the World DSP © Stampin’ Up!
Brightly Lit Christmas Bundle © Stampin’ Up!
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Real Red card stock (CS) cut to 11″ x 12
- CS scored along the 11″ side at 1-3/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-1/4″, 7″, 8-3/4″, 10-1/2″
- CS scored along the 12″ side at 2″ and 10″
- Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 1-1/2″ x 7-3/4″ (6 pieces)
Cut CS using Paper Snips, according to the diagram:
- removed two smallest rectangles, and angled the leftover tab (in blue)
- cut vertical score lines along the bottom just up to the first horizontal score line
- marked along the top side at 7/8″, 2-5/8″, 4-3/8″, 6-1/8″, 7-7/8″, and 9-5/8″
- cut from marks to the intersections of the vertical score lines and the first horizontal score line – this cuts away the green areas
- used a 1/4″ circle punch to cut a hole in each triangle, about 1/2″ or so from the top – you may want to use a smaller circle punch, like the 1/8″, depending on the size of your ribbon
Stamped with the Brightly Lit Christmas stamp set:
- sentiment in Real Red ink onto a scrap of Whisper White card stock (CS)
Die cut using the Christmas Lamppost Thinlits:
Assembled the bottle cover:
- all score lines burnished with a Bone Folder
- DSP pieces glued onto the panels of the CS cover
- sentiment adhered to one of the DSP pieces with Stampin’ Dimensionals
- skinny tab on one side of the bottle cover adhered to the inside of the other end of the cover with Fast Fuse
- bottle inserted into the cover to make the next step easier:
- folded in one of the bottom tabs, then glued the opposite tab to it, making sure the tabs lined up with each other
- repeated this step for the remaining two pairs of tabs, gluing them all together
- ran a 22″ piece of ribbon through each hole in the top triangles, always front to back, then pulled it tight (not too hard or you’ll tear the paper) and tied a bow
