Mimi highlighted the sparklers in her stunning Happy New Year card!


The background for Mimi’s card starts with Stitched Windy Backdrop cut from Black Licorice cardstock that she splattered with Liquid Stardust! Then she die-cut Giant Oh What Fun from white cardstock, trimmed the greeting to use the frame on her card. You could also use a Stitched Rectangle Frame.

She white embossed the sentiments from Just Add Glitter and Window Scene: Winter on a rectangle label to add to the bottom of the card.


To create the sparklers, Mimi got creative combining Stitched Fireworks cut from holographic cardstock. She also used the coordinating dies for the Fireworks Hot Foil Plates to cut more fireworks from holographic cardstock and vellum before layering them all together!


For the sparkler sticks, she used the skinny rectangle piece from Stitched Happy Heart and Candy Cane Lane 6×6 paper. Then she attached it to a rounded rectangle piece from Magic Picture Changer Oven Add-On in kraft cardstock.

As a final touch, she added more sparkle with holographic cardstock and the snowflakes from Snow Globe Gift Tag.


I love sparklers and I love this fun card, Mimi! Thank you for inspiring us!
