I am sending cheers to the NEW YEAR of 2019 to each & every one of you!!! I hope we all have a very healthy, happy & prosperous year!!!
With today's card I'm sharing some old that is retiring, some new that you can't buy yet & some that has been around for awhile in the Annual Catalog! Isn't it great to combine them all!
Check out the layout of the card. I cut the Basic Black base of the card at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"; scored the card at 4 1/4' & folded it in half; scored the front edge of the card at 1 1/4"; folded in back & taped it down (after tucking the DSP in behind it).
Where did this cool DSP come from? It is one of the NEW Sale-a-bration choices for 2019! It is available for you to get for FREE with a $50 order, starting on 1/3/19! It is on page 11 in the Sale-a-bration Mini Catalog & is called- Botanical Butterflies DSP! Be sure you look it up! Yep- on each side of one of these DSP pages there are butterfly images. And then on the back side of each page is some type of black & white image! I just totally LOVE THIS- as you know I'm a black & white card lover!
NOTE: Oh yeah- the butterfly images in this DSP also coordinate with a NEW Butterfly Duo punch too......so stay tuned for more information on this & check out NEW Butterfly Duo punch on page 35 in the NEW Occasions Catalog!
Today I added a little splash of Blackberry Bliss to go with the Black & White. I stamped the wine glasses onto the Whisper White card stock using my Black Memento ink pad. I then used my Dark Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blend & colored the wine in each glass. On the 2 larger wine glasses I used my Wink of Stella over the wine to give it an added sparkle!
Check out the NEW ribbon here.....it is the Black/Silver 1/4" Striped Metallic Ribbon on page 43 in the NEW Occasions Catalog!
The word stamp set is the hostess set- 'Warm Hearted' in the Occasions Catalog on page 54 & is retiring.
The Wine stamp set is called- 'Half Full'. It is on page 22 in the Annual Catalog!! It has endless possibilities for many different occasions!
And then the numbers are from the set called- 'Labeler Alphabet' on page 175 in the Annual Catalog.

I'd like to share a little bit about this stamp set- 'Half Full' , as it just warms my heart. Partially because my dear stampin'' demonstrator friend Linda Bauwin designed this wine set for her Million Dollar Achievement. It is also special to me, as her husband Jay- passed away just before Linda hit her million in sales. He was her biggest cheerleader & her best friend. They were together all of the time. He was just an awesome guy & Deke & I love them both. We enjoyed our time spent with them each year on our incentive trips. But long story shorter- this stamp set- 'Half Full' has much meaning as Linda is now only 1/2 full since Jay passed (they are no longer one) & then the wine bottle has the year 1975 on it, as that is the year that Linda & Jay got married. The font, the images & the words in this stamp set are pretty cool! Be sure you check it out & add this stamp set to your wish list!!
I hope you have a VERY SPECIAL DAY!!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs-
SUSIE
