New Year’s Blog Hop

Welcome to Team Stamp It Groups New Years Theme Blog Hop!
Whether you hopped onto my blog from one of my teammates or started with my blog, I'm awfully glad you hopped by.
It's hard for me to believe that Christmas 2019 has already come and gone and another year is nearing its end.  Where has the year gone?
This Happy New Year card was made using the Stitched Stars and the Merry Christmas dies.  The Stitched Stars dies are set to retire with the 2019 Holiday catalog, but will be back again with the 2020 Holiday catalog.  The colored glimmer paper was made by sponging Gorgeous Grape and Bermuda Bay ink onto Sparkle glimmer paper and allowed to dry. (To speed up the drying process I used my heat tool).  
Using Basic Black cardstock, the "star explosion" from the Stitched Stars dies and your die-cutting machine, cut out the "star explosion" from the center of the Basic Black front panel.  Remove the detailed part of the "star explosion" and set aside.  Cut out the stars, using the colored glimmer paper, the star dies from the Stitched Stars die set and your die-cutting machine.  
Adhere colored glimmer paper onto the back of the Basic Black front panel using Multipurpose glue.  Adhere this panel onto a Whisper White card base using your favorite adhesive.  Adhere the detailed part of the "star explosion" back onto the center of the card front.  Some of the details (a few stars and curly-Q's) were cut off using paper snips to help emphasize the details more.  I found the easiest way to adhere the detailed "star explosion", the stars and the "Happy" sentiment was to dilute a small amount of multipurpose glue with tiny bit of water and dabbed it onto the back of each cut out with a piece of sponge.
