Hello and welcome back to the blog; it's Rick back with you again today sharing another card for a little festive inspiration. Since the New Year is only a few days away I wanted to share an idea with you using a holiday stamp set that I am sure many of you have picked up from the Rabbit Hole this year. Today my card features the Poinsettia & Pinecones Stamp Set designed by Kelly Taylor.
I wanted to take the poinsettia from the stamp set and add a little glamor to it by using some Pearl White Stencil Butter that can be picked up right here on the website. I ran it through the Cat Eye Stencil on a piece of black cardstock. I then added it to a silver cardstock mat and to the card base. This dresses up the card base and makes it more of a new year card than a holiday card. I then stamped and heat embossed the large poinsettia also on black cardstock; and colored it in different shades of blue colored pencils.
By doing these few simple things I took the Christmas card and make it into a new year card. The sentiment Merry and bright can totally go for not only Christmas but also new year as well. Just make sure you add a fabulous new year sentiment to the inside in your personal message and your golden. By changing up your color scheme and adding a little more glitz to your cards you can totally take a holiday set and make it into a new year set or change up the sentiment and make it a birthday card as well. Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you all have a safe and happy new year. And I will see you again real soon.
Stay Crafty
Rick
