Here's my celebration themed card for this week.


I've gone for elegant black, paired up with some bling: gold embossing, champagne foil, silver sequins and some rhinestones.


I like that the card could be a birthday card but could be used for any many other occasions too: a promotion, a graduation, even a wedding.

Pop over to main Paper Players site and see what ideas the rest of the design team, plus our two emeritus designers, have to get your mojo going. If you haven't entered yet, you have until 13 July to join in the party.

If you live anywhere in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up demonstrator, I'd love to help you with ideas and Stampin' Up products. Please message me through my Facebook page, linked in the sidebar of this blog or leave a comment below. 


And, of course, you can shop with me from anywhere in New Zealand by clicking the SHOP NOW button in the sidebar of this blog or by clicking any of the products pictured below.

  5. Love all that sparkle and shine against the black Jan - all this card needs is a glass of champagne to go with it!
