Are you looking for an pretty New Year's Eve card idea?

Then look no more! I have the perfect idea to share with friends or family this year.

When you ring in the new year with friends and family why not add to the festivities by giving everyone a gorgeous New Year’s card. Use the Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper and the glamorous Navy & Gold glittered ribbon to create an elegant card that is fun to create.

I had some bits of leftover Shining Brightly designer series paper which inspired my card idea - the gold foil accents are the perfect match for New Years. 

Each sheet of paper in the pack showcases detailed gold and blue designs. I love the gold-gilded details which makes this design perfect for our gift card holder. And I think Night of Navy adds an elegant color touch for a special night out (or in!)

 

My phrase comes from the Brightest Glow stamp set - I was thrilled to see the New Year's sentiment in the set. 

 

I sure hope this stamp set does not retire from the Annual Catalog in May. If you have looked through my blog recently, you'll see that I have used this set a LOT.

 

My card layout is very simple - to let the paper and the ribbon shine (no pun intended):
