Welcome to InKing Royalty’s December Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects are all about party fun – festive gatherings like New Year’s, birthdays and other fun times. How fun! We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I do not normally make a New Years card. This time there was an idea in my head that I had to put to paper. And this card was the result.
Front Dies
The front of the card is a mix of Silver and Gold which I love. Plus I am totally in love with the Word Wishes Dies! They are awesome. All I had to do is add a piece of adhesive sheet to Basic Black cardstock, add the dies, and run through the Cut & Emboss machine. It is like magic.
The stars are all from the Stitched Stars dies. There are such unique designs, as well as a great mixture of sizes in this die set. I love the mix of size and colors. And of course Basic Black goes with everything!
Inside Dies and stamp
I designed the card around the idea for the inside. And I am thrilled that it turned out just as I envisioned it. Early last week I made a Pop Up gift card holder. I shared it with The Paper Pixie and she made the Pop Up section one piece instead of two. Her version is what I used that idea to hold my swirl of gold stars. This piece is also sized down a bit since it only needed to hold the two little pieces.
My choice for the DSP is from the Neutrals 2021-2022 6 X 6 paper stack. I used the Smoky Slate piece to pair with the silver. What you see of the two stand up Gold pieces are actually one die cut that is cut in half. And the extra stars are what was popped out of the die cut piece. No waste here!!

The gold and silver are a classic combination. I love the front of the card, but then the inside…wowza! ♥
Very pretty card, Jackie. I love the pop-up inside and the perfect sentiment. Enjoy your day!
The swirls surprise is the best part. Great way to use that brushed gold paper. Great Card Jackie.
Jackie I agree with Brian, what a fun unexpected surprise when you open this card.
