Catherine was inspired to create a brilliant “Happy New Year around the world” card!


Catherine used Peekaboo Backdrop to divide the amazing geographical vignettes. She cut the backdrop from black glitter cardstock from the Autumn Sparkle pack. She created the background with Stitched Fireworks and colorful inking. Then she added more sparkle with Chunky Glitter. She added the greeting to the top using Winter Wavy Sayings and a small Simple Wavy Banner.


Please see the supply list below for links to the sets that Catherine used for each of the adorable little scenes.

Samantha started her design by inking the background using Distress ink in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina. Then using Snowflake Background Stencils and White Stencil Paste she added the pretty snowflakes!

She colored the Love You a Latte to-go cups in rainbow colors and she gave the cute mice lots of cute personality too! How charming is the little mouse popping out of the cup? To finish the card she white embossed the sentiment from Love You a Latte and added a sentiment from Ho-Ho-Holidays!

I’m so happy you shared this totally adorable card to inspire us, Samantha! Thank you so much!
