I hope I'm not boring people with my constant use of the SU stitched stars dies. One of the best things to come out of SU recently, I say!
This is for yesterday's teapot tickle (Pandora's Box), Monday's TLC (faux heat embossing) and Saturday's IC (Amy's door board). Amy, you killed me with this board. How to decide, how to decide!? They really made me miss owning a house. I'm very big on the front door, fortunately my rental house has a dark red door, which looks nice with the white and black house. My door is never 'naked', I always have something hanging on it, not always a wreath, sometimes a piece of art. If I were able to change my door, I'd need to do one for every season.
The title of my card comes from the back panel...'dear self, today you will shine.' New stamp to me, also the 'shine' die is new. I used Anita's TLC for that...faux embossing using packing tape. Could be more shiny, I think. I had a bunch of alcohol background scraps from last year's Christmas cards so I used a lot of them, along with the SSS holographic cs, which is so awesome. We were encouraged to do a box card technique for the tea party exchange, using the Pandora's Box story. The box card should be positive, full of good wishes for the New Year. This is what I chose from Amy's door board (I think I'm going to start a window board):https://www.pinterest.com/pin/479492691601937171/
Happy 2021 everyone.....wasn't it just 2000??!! Stay safe, stay healthy, stay creative!

Shine with the candle for the I is really super! And I always love the way you use those stars - it's because of you I bought them. Sometimes some self-affirmation is what we need to practice.

This is box card is wonderful and it definitely "shines". Love the stars die cuts but I absolutely adore the shine die cut and the sentiment. I hope we all get a chance to shine in 2021.
Your red door sounds great. It must look fabulous at Christmas with a wreath. Happy New Year to you too.
