Happy New Year!

Hi Friends! I hope you had a wonderful 2025 :) I’m looking forward to making more cards and practicing modern calligraphy in the new year. What about you?

I’m starting the year with a very shiny card! I just love the star background panel die I used (sadly, it’s no longer available).

The background panel was used with gold foil paper, and again with white cardstock. I adhered each panel to a white card base. With the gold foil card, I inlaid the white stars, and for the white card, I inlaid the gold stars. I really like how I can pretty quickly get 2 cards using this panel die :)

I’ll save this white card for another time and add a sentiment then. Maybe I’ll use it next Christmas, or for a birthday or congrats card.

I die cut a ribbon banner 3 times from white cardstock, stamped the sentiment on one and glued them together for some dimension. I also die cut a few more stars from gold glitter paper to add to the banner, then adhered as shown to my card.
