Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Year of Wonder Card using the Light & Wonder Bundle from the Lights of Aurora Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I loved this suite and decided to create a New Years card for friends. So far, I have made three cards using this Suite including this one. At the end of this post, I have included the other two cards with further details about them. This beautiful Suite is on the Last Chance List! So, get it while you can!
The Details of My Year of Wonder Card
For my card, I decided to create a mini slimline wintery scene card. I used both the large and small tree dies to frame my scene with that gorgeous DSP. I was inspired by a card that Stampin’ Up! had in their catty to use DSP for the snow. It gives it a snowy blue glow that you see sometimes in the winter.
Next, I embossed the sentiments in white on the Basic Black piece and die cut it with the “hilly” die. I made this piece the same width as my card front so that it fit the sentiment leaving enough space on either side of it without overcrowding it.
All this was adhered to a Blackberry Bliss mat with a Night of Navy card base.
As a finishing touch, I placed a scattering of the Frosted Iridescent Dots on my card.
