Greetings of the Season New Year

The bulk of the holiday celebrations are behind us. Perhaps you finished your handmade Christmas cards. Perhaps you didn’t. Either way, have you thought about sending a new year’s card? I’m thinking you could design, create, and send these well into the month of January. I know I have and plan to!

Stampin’ Up! carries just the products to make this a reality. Today, I share a new year’s card that uses Stampin’ Up!’s Greetings of the Season stamp set and the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper. I seriously love all of the gold accents in the patterned paper. Find both of these as Online Exclusives.

In addition, I modeled the card layout using the sketches on page 22 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. This great layout works with a variety of stamp sets, papers, and sentiments. Be sure to look for other samples below.

Measurements and Details

See these details to help you get started:

  • Very Vanilla card stock measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
  • Gold Foil Sheet measuring 5 1/2 x 3, embossed with the Starstruck Embossing Folder. Look for this folder as one of the upcoming SaleABration offerings. Earn it free beginning January 7, 2025, with an order of $60 or more before tax and shipping.
  • Sentiment from Greetings of the Season stamp set heat embossed with gold on a circle die cut from Very Vanilla card stock. All circle dies comes from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

This bundle offers a variety of heart-shaped dies and sentiments for creating a variety of Valentine and love-themed cards.
