Sneak Peek: Happy Hanukkah + Happy New Year

Hi Everyone! It’s Melody here on the blog today and I am going to give you a sneak peek at two more of the new stamp sets and dies in the October 15th release, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year. 

Let start with the new Happy New Year Stamp Set, Happy New Year Coordinating Dies, and the Fireworks Stencil. To create the background I cut a piece of white cardstock to fit the card front. Then I used the new Fireworks Stencil with Versamark ink and Gold Embossing Powder. 

The champagne glasses are lightly colored with Copic Markers and I added a coat of glitter with a glitter pen to the champagne. I die cut the glasses with the Happy New Year Coordinating Dies. The oval is die cut with the Scallop Ovals Dies, once from black cardstock and once from gold foil. 

The sentiment is stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with black embossing powder on vellum. I finished off the card with confetti from the new Celebration Confetti Mix. 

My next card showcases the new Happy Hannukkah Stamp Set. I decided to go with a classic navy, white, and silver theme. I cut a piece of white cardstock to fit the card front and cut a window in the center with the Storybook 5 Dies. Then I  used the variety of stars in the stamp set and navy blue ink to created the background pattern. Behind the window I added navy blue cardstock and a strip of white cardstock, cut with the straight die in the Stitched Borders 2 Dies. 

The Menorah and the candle flames are stamped in Versamark Ink and embossing with silver embossing powder and colored with Copic Markers. The star at the top and the sentiment are stamped and embossed. I added a silver confetti to the middle of the star from the new Celebration Confetti Mix. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope I inspired you to start creating for the holidays!
