Stamp of the Month Blog Hop -- November: Cheers, 2016!

Welcome to the November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

If you came from visiting Dana Kessler, then you are in the right place.  If you just happened upon my little corner of the blog world, simply start here and continue hopping until you return here -- our fun hop is one big loop for your viewing pleasure. 

The month's featured stamp set is S1511 Cheers, 2016! (pictured below).  This set is only available until November 30th and is only $5 with a $50 Close to My Heart purchase.

For today's project, I started by creating a simple card with the new Confetti embossing folder and some gold embellishments.  After creating the "Dream Big" card, I decided to step up the design a little with an additional layer.  I used one of the beautiful black & white patterns from the La Vie En Rose collection.

 Which design do you like better??

 

I also used the stamp set to create a coordinating envelope.  In my opinion, a matching envelope is the perfect finishing touch to any handmade card.
